1 guy plays 1 game in 1 role for a mere 15 matches per game and somehow thinks that he has come to an "objective" conclusion regarding which is better?
I hope he doesn't design nuclear reactors.
I looked into it and it looks like you OS X running on an Intel PC and don't have to buy a Mac. But... the process to do so and the hardware requirements looks... like a pain.
So not only do I need OS X to develop for the iPhone I also need an Intel processor?
That's... BS. What about those with OS X and older Power PC computers?
This is exactly why all they need to do at the start is let you turn on Flash files individually. By default it is off and if you want to see a file you just click on it. If it is lacking functionality--so what, just build that in later. In the meantime getting some glimpse of a file is better than the stupid X on the screen.
Sitting around and demanding that it is all or nothing is not a technical decision--it's just a ploy on Apple's part to keep Adobe from becoming more of a standard and competing with YouTube, iTunes, etc., for as long as possible.
Right now in WOW PVP I use a Nostromo 52 gamepad in my left hand and my logitech in my right.
Movement is done all with my left thumb which lets me do a whole hell of a lot quickly as I have 4 fingers free. Extra mouse buttons help with auto-run, jumping, and toggles.
Easily the best setup I've ever used.
It could be improved though--main problem I've noticed is panning around to look while keeping moving. Doing so requires the mouse right-click and pan, but then when I need to select something I have to stop looking. What I'd really like is some sort of foot pedal/pad/ball for one of my feet that controls where my character is looking. That would be sweet and in some ways make WOW PvP more intense than a FPS/CounterStrike.
Ya'll realize, right, that whether the PS3 fails or not on its own right is going to have a minimal impact on Sony compared to the value of the Yen in the coming months/years.
Sony is a Big Corporation in the Big Game, and they're far more concerned with the BoJapan than a bunch of Fanboys. In the past 2 months the Yen has appreciated about 7%... which dwarfs just about everything.
You're right. The truth is that there are not any shortages of unemployed IT workers/engineers in the US. There is, however, a shortage of well-paying IT/engineering jobs.
It's well known that the corporations cry bloody mary to purposefully get congress to increase the number of work visas in order to pay lower wages to their workers, assuming they can't send to the work overseas where laws are more lax.
The fact is that jobs in the country since the early 1970s have increased their wages about, what, somewhere between 1% annual growth and -3%, depending on your source. Meanwhile, inflation has been increasing around 3%-9% per year, again depending on your source.
The same shrill crap people spout about IT/engineering jobs is just a reflection of what is going on everywhere else in America, and the picture ain't pretty.
i'm glad someone knows what they're talking about.
there are alot of "drugs" in the world... and the brain is just one big mess of chemicals. it's funny, you read AA and they say "you can tell a drug addict by the way they talk about drugs alot". "oh really? that's funny, i just drink for fun, you're the dumb fucks who talk about it all the fucking time and take it so seriously."
and then there's water, which you can overdose on. and food. caffeine. nicotine if you disolve it first. people are so silly when they think there's actually a difference between the official drugs and the officialy not-drugs.
1. the data is sparse. no canadian stocks. no options. no bonds. no futures. StockCharts.com has all that, it's free, and the charting is better because:
2. no technical analysis
and Yahoo is still way better than Google finance... hopefully Google will improve, but right now, there are litterly hundreds of free, better, and more comprehensive financial websites out there.
Besides, the fact that they don't get their data directly from the exchanges is _completely_ bogus for anything serious. You can't use Google Finance for any real trading decisions.

I just wrote a cross-browser ajax app with little more than getElementById and innerHTML. Works fine in IE and mozilla with minimal tweaking. Most of it had to do with CSS, not javascript.
Also, be careful. JavaScript IS a standard. DOM is a standard. The fact that Mozilla and IE implement the DOMJS link differently isn't part of that.
Re: "Just masks them from the user". Exactly. Perfect. Noone cares what your code looks like for the same reason no programmer sits around examining the assembly and machine code his program runs on. Make the library and forget about it. It's not like there aren't good libraries out there already.
Browser + DOM + JS + XMLHttpRequest is a beauty and isn't any less powerful or easy for regular apps than any other method. About the only thing it can't handle is a 3D game, so....
*shrug* Maybe you should just write the code and go with the flow instead of analyzing it to death. Nothing is perfect. Ask any VI user.
"Why does China want Taiwan so badly? Because China is (relatively speaking) a backward oligarchy and it would benefit from quickly acquiring a large educated middle class and its vast intellectual productive resources."
so in the fantasy realm of economic religion you live in, they've never heard of the spratley islands, have they?
ha. ha. funny.
but the point is that the value of the dollar has changed. therefore so has the oil. and depending on where you live, it's changed differently. not _everyone_ is freaking out at a doubling of price within a year.
Because alot of people would go in an buy one thing. And in general, the less items you buy the better ability the store has to get you to round up. They'll definitely make a significant profit off the whole deal.
Also, in terms of practicality, it would never work. What if you pay with a debit or a check or a credit card, do I have to round up? Why?
1. so what's the rate of shipping to pumping? where are they storing that oil? and are futures contracts being traded on that stored oil? cause i notice that the curve on oil futures slopes up right through 2012 right now, which implies that today's prices are hardly "artificial", whatever that means.
2. OPEC wouldn't be comfortable at $50/barrel if there wasn't so much cash floating around with nothing to do except depreciate.
3. and OPEC only produces what, 1/2 of the world's oil imports? what about russia, nigeria, venezuela, texas/north shore, canada, north shore? all manipulated?
yeah but on average you're talking 2-3% rise in prices, which you don't notice, but which goes right into the company's pockets. 3% of billions of dollars is quite a bit of cash.
You should do more research, whereupon you would read that OPEC is pumping at full capacity. Also, the spike in gas prices during Katrina was due to refineries closing, not oil production slowing, so this rise in oil and gas prices you are seeing as of now is mostly due to very fundamental factors: the oil spiggot is on full while the Fed has been nurturing inflation since 2000 = high oil costs in dollars. You'll notice prices haven't gone up so much if you price it in Yen, or Euros, or Gold coins.
remember, one can get a sweet monitor from dell for cheap. so for $900 you can gete a full system.
in 1 year, you upgrade the graphics card (if you're a gamer). so + $300 = $1200. full system + monitor. thats a pretty decent price.
in 3, its cheaper to just buy a new computer and keep the old monitor. i worked out the math, at Dell + their usual discounts + 15%, its basically impossible to beat.
that of course is why they give the discount to large companies in the first place, to lock in the customers, and then they get their profits from everyone else.
Yes well some of us get a 15%+ discount from Dell through work. I spent a long time scouring NewEgg for parts to build my own system, and it was a tad more expensive through NewEgg. Without factoring in shipping costs or time wasted or...

you're asking the wrong question. the question is: were there slaves, regularly, before agriculture?

Because China is (relatively speaking) a backward oligarchy and it would benefit from quickly acquiring a large educated middle class and its vast intellectual productive resources." so in the fantasy realm of economic religion you live in, they've never heard of the spratley islands, have they?
you're one dumb motherfucker. slave owning is always superior. especially if they don't realize they're slaves.
ha. ha. funny. but the point is that the value of the dollar has changed. therefore so has the oil. and depending on where you live, it's changed differently. not _everyone_ is freaking out at a doubling of price within a year.
no, i didn't. the store can change the prices so that the fewer items you purchase the more likely it is that you get rounded up.
