I wish it were true but it seems like having been a big time CEO counts as good job experience, even if you have a disaster. I suspect he'll land on his feet:(
I use my shopper id at my grocery store to get a small discount. So the store knows how much milk, flour, etc that I buy. I'm not seeing an issue there.
To take it a step further, I used to have a regular Friday night out at a particular bar. The waitress got to know me and bring me my favorite drink shortly after I walked in. Not a problem.
Just like the Republicans complaining about their loss of freedom because Obama uses the laws that Pres Bush rammed thru. Pity no one thinks ahead to when their "side" isn't running the show.
Try reading my post BEFORE you reply... then your post might make sense.
But since you probably can't be bothered, my point is that people will NOT use this to create their own personal firearms, they'll use this to bypass the LAWS on DEALING firearms. No constitutional issue involved.
How many people think that this printed gun design is going to be used for a "one-off" gun for personal use? Because, yeah, if I want a gun, I'm going to buy a 3D printer and print myself one. That makes a lot of sense.
This guy is an asshole. He's looking forward to the day when the USA is like Somalia and you get to bow and scrape to the local warlord. Does anyone really think that what the USA needs is MORE guns?
Valve is incredibly successful as a store selling games on Windows. Creating a Linux gaming platform is an enormous amount of work to enter a currently miniscule market. The ONLY reason Valve is doing it is they are worried about Microsoft deciding, in Steve Ballmer's immortal words, to "choke off their air supply".
I must admit, one of my issues with Perl isn't really Perl, it's the Camel book. It seems to be deliberately written out of order so whatever you are reading, it's guaranteed that you need to read something later in the book first.
Yes Perl has lots of libraries, lots of code, lots of support, and I'm sure if you spend all of your time in Perl, you eventually get used to it. But I spent time working on occasion on some Perl scripts we used for glue, and from that point of view, Perl is a nightmare. Random crap done by random characters depending on random context. Basically it looks like whenever Larry Wall needed to do something, he added some functionality and assigned the next unused character combination to it. I've programmed in a wide variety of languages, down to flipping switches and pressing a button to put the next opcode into computer memory, and Perl is far and away the most annoying.
No. The companies on kickstarter have business plans... they need $$ to execute them. If there's no plan, why would anyone give them money? "Excuse me, I have no idea what I'm doing, please give me money..."
I came into Rails recently (a year ago) but I'd agree with GP that the turnover in Rails is pretty amazing (& disturbing). Just in the little time I've been in the Rails world I've seem methods move from being "the Rails way" to being "deprecated". The result is that in general there really isn't documentation per se for Rails... it's Googling Stack Overflow and sorting thru the results to find the most plausible answer.
I got to the part where she argues that renewable energy is bogus because, in a few hundred years, the whole earth would have to be plated with solar collectors, and gave up. Excuse me, but is she thinking that non-renewables like oil & coal will be sufficient under those circumstances? That's not an argument against renewables, it's an argument that the destruction of civilization is nigh.

Really? You really think that being a cop is just as safe as, say, sitting behind a computer terminal? What planet do you live on?
He's taking a stand on new technology. What's wrong with that?
If you prefer high tech over hanging with your buddies over a beer, I'm sure the bar won't mind.

Got it?
Yeah... or reversing the phase polarity, that always works on Star Trek.
Really, right now they don't know what caused the problem, it's a little early to design the solution.

Nope. That's why Valve is doing this... to avoid having MS having them by the balls.
Blizzard does not do this. The stuff you buy from Blizzard is cosmetic, it doesn't affect gameplay.
Speaking of ignorance... the only reason ANY currency is worth ANYTHING is that people are willing to exchange it for something else.
Perhaps you could start by learning to spell "financial"?

Because lord knows, open source is all about choice.
That is pretty scary when you rewrite it in Perl to make it intelligible.
I think some old games were already ported and as they are vetted as working with Linux Steam they are being announced.
Linux Steam is the best chance Linux gaming is ever going to have, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a huge batch of games.
So you think in couple of weeks 60 games were ported?
No. The companies on kickstarter have business plans... they need $$ to execute them. If there's no plan, why would anyone give them money? "Excuse me, I have no idea what I'm doing, please give me money..."
That's why Kickstarter exists: to fund business plans.

And yet you care about people siting in chairs typing on keyboards. Odd.
Yes, I do understand that. What you don't seem to understand is that it's baked in FOR EVERYONE.
