Why would the mod author have lied in the first place? It's right in the readme (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=28), as it was before the mediots got ahold of it. I would think that if he had to go to great lengths to dissassemble the code, or whatever R* proposed, to enable this mod he would have mentioned it.
On the other hand, Far Cry had binoculars in multiplayer such that you could locate anyone, anywhere, and snipe them. A game based in expansive jungle levels where you can hide anywhere shouldn't have this, bad design decisions can come from anywhere.
Oh, and I succesfully barricaded the combine in the level in question, until they used grenades to blow up the stacks of boxes, seemed clever enough to me.
I am of the opinion that if we hadn't invaded Iraq (and I don't necessarily agree with it) terrorist activity would have continued, maybe even with more ferocity.
How did the invasion and occupation of Iraq reduce terrorist acts from other countries?
So if a company employs 60 people, management says to 40 of the people, work at 1.5 times your current effort and lays off the other 20 people, the demand for goods and services goes up? Because that's what the quoted line was in reference to.
As long as there are no barriers to a free market, such as minimum wage laws, employment will tend to rise to give everyone who wants a job, a job.
Now who's over simplifying things? Are there countries out there that don't have minimum wage and other pesky labour laws that have employment rates approaching 100%? As in, everyone who wants a job, gets a job?
If they distance themselves from the OEM's, it is very likely the suit will fail.
I don't think it matters so much what they do from here on out, but what they've done over the past few years. I don't think AMD are dummies, I'm sure they think they can win this suit.
How about a progressive salary cut that starts at the very top of the organization? Where the guy who makes the most gets the biggest cut, and it goes straight to the bottom, and at the bottom cuts could be minimized. It would allow them to pay reasonable and realistic salaries to everyone in the company, and free up tons of money to boot.
Sure it does. Good Guys: Companies you have some trust in, confident in their abilities, happy with their corporate practices, good products, good prices, respects it's workers, nice logo, etc. You can use whatever metrics you desire to rate a company.
Bad Guys: The other end of the scale on your metrics.
As, time goes on, you can evaluate how well companies are faring based on your metrics. Then you can classify them as good, bad, or in a grey transition zone of varying degree. You can use a companies classification as a way to determine if you'd like to purchase from them or not.
and e-gold has quietly-kept the promises others so-loudly made about the 'net for a long time with little fanfare
Brilliant battle plan on e-gold's part, it's a wonder I've never heard of them.
1. The first good micropayment system. 2. No significant promotion, advertising, hubbub, publishing/newspapers signed on.. 3. ???? (oblig.) 4. Obscurity!
If e-gold wants to hit it big, then it's going to need to attach itself to something people will actually want. Until then, it'll be a niche/secondary payment and donation system.
Just becaues something is bigger doesn't mean it is stronger. The bigger you make something, the heavier it becomes, and the weight has to be carried by the structure itself in the case of a fortress.
Or of course you could just wait a while until China died out due to lack of sunlight, and air.
Would you mind posting a link to explain what you're talking about? Everything I've read has pointed to this having to do with the DMCA, I haven't seen any mention of 'chinese firewalls'.
BitTorrent does this automatically behind the scenes. It hashes each block of data and confirms it after it's downloaded it, and it redownloads blocks that fail hash check.

Do most not usually realize this? I always took some pride in getting the ball up there.

The Uncanney Valley, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley, is what's being referred too. That is the source of the creepiness that you don't understand.
If only they had a snopes that dealt with common sense.

It would seem unlikely, since the 20 people who used to make money to spend on goods and services no longer do.
Now who's over simplifying things? Are there countries out there that don't have minimum wage and other pesky labour laws that have employment rates approaching 100%? As in, everyone who wants a job, gets a job?

PC's have gamepad's too, I use one to drive in GTA. KB/mouse is still better for on foot though.
You've also answered the question of how do you guarantee the quality if cable was gov run.
Thank you for reiterating the obvious.
No, this is not called capitalism. It is a part of capitalism. Just because you want to make money doesn't mean you HAVE to be an asshole.

I personally find it reprehensible and short sighted. But to each his own.
Sure it does.

Make sense now?
Lowering cost itself is not immoral or wrong, but sometimes the means used to achieve the goal is immoral, or wrong.
Right on man.
i18n is an abbreviation? They really should have chosen something more explicit..

Thanks, much clearer now.
