I'm not a hardcore gamer by any standard, but I do like sometime to get some beer and spend several hours (or the whole weekend:) ) playing a good game. The thing is, since I do this rarely, I really-really don't want to be disappointed. I want to be sure the game will be good, I don't want to experiment. So, I buy only well known established titles: Fallout, Call of Duty, Diablo. Again, since I do it only now and then, paying $60 for a game is no big deal.
What I really miss is the X-Com: UFO-style turn based strategies. I know there are some of the replicas (sort of) out there, but none of them even approaches the "X-Com: UFO Defence" in terms of gameplay. X-Com: Apocalypse was nice upgrade of the graphics and even had some gameplay improvements, but after that all sequels and clones kinda lost the point.
I think/. strikes the right balance: stories are posted by the editors, but the comments are moderated by users. Of course, great community is the main advantage, but I believe this is the consequence.
You're assuming that there is no other way to spend the money on infrastructure that would have more benefits. How about adding a dozen more regional airports? Same effect, only doesn't cost tax payers on an ongoing basis.
I honestly don't see how this demonstrates any problem with PHP people.
The guy was using some function in what appears to me as the wrong way (failed to validate inputs) and was relying on some edge-case behaviour. Now this edge-case behaviour has changed and made the mistake in his code more apparent.
I hate PHP and try to avoid it like plague, but this guy got what he was asking for.
There will be exactly zero law enforcement there. You can kill your fellow crew members in a most spectacular way and then eat their brains. All on national TV and nobody will be able to do anything about that.
You must not be much of a reverse engineer. That tells you just what can be controlled in hardware - which jobs are hardware and which software, and that tradeoff, as well as the division of labour between the GPU and system CPU is the big deal.
In all respects this is exactly the same as if somebody releases the library as binary and refuses to release any documentation for the API. In this particular case, people need this API to make NVidia's crap work with Linux.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that this is a political issue for them.
I've read the specs for AMD. It's mostly just a list of registers and what numbers to dump into them to control it. It's hardly giving away how it works.
Just like any other data sheet for any other chip out there. From tiniest to the largest.
I'm just going to assume that their architecture is so crappy, that they just plain ashamed of releasing a data sheet.
As somebody raised in the Soviet Union I can totally confirm that. In Soviet Union culture (movies and even pop music) scientist or just smart in a scientific sense guy wins. A lot of Soviet era TV shows were about smart people competing (kinda like Jeopardy) and these shows made them TV stars and kids were looking up to them.
Unfortunatelly, this changing now. Partially due to American culture influence.
The fact that the author himself says that the book is about subject X, does not mean that every reader cannot discover something for himself.
Reading is a thought process. The good book is supposed to give you food for thoughts and new ideas. *Your* ideas. Not to merely serve as a transmission media from author's brain to yours.
I remember I read one of his books and absolutely loved it. After that I was telling people that I like to read Sci-Fi. Friends started recommending me books, but the more I read what they recommended, the more I was going "WTF is this crap?".
Well, I agree about slow walks. I had many insights coming to me during the walk to/from my work. However, I tend to attribute this not to movement, but rather to the ability to look around and get your mind wandering.
Well, if this company (startup) will take some responsibility for what it registers, than this can be a good thing. In your example, they would need to prove that they are bank and that they own bankofamerica trademark. Cert is complementary.
I stopped reading TFA after "We also invented and sold more than a few iPads." Not that I expected any kind of good journalism from usatoday in the first place.
Hmm, isn't blood rush to the legs (and from the brain) will make it harder for you to think?
I really find it hard to think after/during an exhaustive exercise. Agreed, you don't need to be running at 10mph on this, but still.
For a more regular workplace, I think that the desk with easily regulated height, so that you can both sit and stand during the day + laptop, so that you can go outside or just lay down on a couch, is the best way to go.
I used to have very high expectation of OpenSolaris after Ian Murdock became the head of the project... But then Oracle came and destroyed all my hopes.
Saint Paul is an interesting Bible figure, BTW. Even based on Bible, he never ever saw Jesus, except for the case where his "spirit appeared before him", which is only mentioned in the part *St. Paul* himself wrote! It is not clear whether he new any other disciples, the modern view is that he was way younger than any of them to personally know them.
Yet, this guy gets to write more then a half of New Testament!

You see the bit where it says "full API compatibility"? ...
This is the same unicorn as "platform independent". Many people talk about, but nobody really ever saw it.

Do you find that surprising?
I think most hobby programmers never release the stuff they develop and even those that do only release ~ 20% at best
devtodo would be a natural improvement for this kind of setup.

Because airports don't need any kind of support?

The GP point still stands. Somehow other projects deal with this and nobody dies.
Somehow "my friend" didn't sound very comforting.
Expect more mac users modding you "Troll".

Just applying the rule I saw somewhere: if the title is a question, the answer is "No".

I think we are getting closer to finding out the cause of his death.
Same here.
I remember I read one of his books and absolutely loved it. After that I was telling people that I like to read Sci-Fi. Friends started recommending me books, but the more I read what they recommended, the more I was going "WTF is this crap?".
Indeed, we've lost a true Master today.

Except that the scarcity is 100% artificial.

Not sure if this is good business though

Talk about fraud.
