Results indicate that passively watching someone else play the game is as effective as actively playing the game in terms of learning preparedness knowledge.
It seems like VR would be even more effective than a normal game for those playing, but then you'd lose out on the secondary effect, as it would be difficult for others to watch you play.
Have you seen how much effect a nuke is likely to have on a significantly sized NEO? If an NEO is enough to wipe us out, it won't be screwed by a nuke.
Wouldn't that depend on whether or not we sent up a crew of oil rig drill operators to drill into the NEO first, before inserting the nuke?
Yeah, that notice will be updated employment terms to try to aggressive prevent people from leaking out the details when they attempt to do the H1-B swap the next time.
Key part of the phrase: "until further notice." My guess is they're going to train all of these H1-B's at a different place, then lay off all the regular workers at the same time without notice. Either that, or they will find excuses to fire them one at a time, gradually replacing them.
What sort of mission do these drones fly where even a 2000msec latency would matter?
Seems like 2 seconds would be a significant delay if you're firing guns or shooting missiles. I'm guessing that computers probably help to compensate for the difference as long as you tagged your targets in advance.
I think you're giving yourself too much credit. Who sells CDs second hand: People who buy CDs, including people who buy them new; and what do they do with the money raised by selling music... at least partly use it to purchase new music.
Yeah, but what if Lumpy *only* bought 2nd hand CDs he knew were shoplifted?
The Xbox controller is designed to put the most-used control elements (the left joystick and the face buttons) where your thumbs naturally lie when you hold your hand in a neutral position.
Maybe for you, but I don't find that to be the case. I seem to have to really reach for the left joystick, which is a strain on me. I find the positioning of the left & right dual analog sticks on the PS controllers to be much more comfortable. Guess I'm in the minority.
The controller is probably the one thing more than anything else that prevents me from having an interest in the XBOne, just like the 360 & XBox before them. The PS controllers have always seemed more comfortable to me due to their symmetry.
Yes, but PayPal is making the bullshit argument that continuing to use the service is opt-in.
It isn't?
For some reason we've accepted that corporations can change the terms any time they want to, and claim to have implied consent because you didn't stop using it.
I quit using AOL when I no longer liked their terms of service. When Microsoft announced that the XBone was going to require always on internet and a janky game sharing system, people threatened to not buy it. Similar situations have happened to Apple, Sony, Facebook, etc. Corporations can't just do whatever they want. If they alienate too many people, they lose $$$.
After reading the linked ZDNet article, looks like Apple is only allowing extensions in Safari to block content with in the browser. Thus allowing things like Ghostery and NoScript to be possible or more affective in iOS 9. Bottom line, if you want ad-blocking in iOS 9 you will have to wait for the proper ad-blocking extension to be available, or write one yourself.
So i wonder if that means this will be a framework that's available to developers for their own browsers?
When people called me, having trouble with their browsers, and there were about 15 or more toolbars taking up their entire screen. And ask was always there, sometime multiple times.
Anything that installs a toolbar in your browser is malware.
Ditto. That's usually one of the first questions I ask, and most people have no idea how it even got on their machine. I tell them "they aren't giving you this toolbar to be nice, they're giving it to you so they can control your searches and sell you stuff."
There's nothing more that I hate than coming into my cube & seeing the red light on my phone, which means I have a voice mail message. You have to call, enter your pin, and go through a menu to select listen to new messages, and then type/write down their number. I'd rather have people send me an e-mail instead. One good thing about Comcast phone service when we had it at home was it would convert it to text and send it to you via e-mail. I'd rather have that than deal with a voice mail message.
What, do you seriously mean those millions of iPads we bought for our schools DIDN'T make students any smarter?
The problem with that little experiment was that they treated the iPads as an end in themselves, instead of a means to an end, and had no plan on how to implement the means. Basically it was:

The apple developer program is now all in one instead of paying a separate license or Mac OSX, iOS and Safari. This is good news and makes sense. It was kinda pointless to have a separate license for all these common features between devices/hardware.
That's good news. So far I've only been registered for the iOS license, and have to renew in July. I might actually get back in to Mac programming again. On a side note, Safari developer has always been free.
Platforms such as Moodle are supposed to by style-agnostic, but doing anything other the basics leads you to have to code up arcane and esoteric dynamic pages, so everyone ends up with static multiple-choice question sheets online.
I'm a Moodle admin, and there are quite a few options for quizzes other than just multiple choice. The problem is that's what most publishers offer. If you're lucky, you'll get a test bank already set up for Blackboard or WebCT, which can be imported directly into Moodle. The worst though are Microsoft Word documents that I have to modify into something else. Thank God for regex! Aiken format is my go-to format if it's all multiple choice, but I'll also use Gift format if there's any fill-in-the-blank, multiple answer, essay, etc. formats included. It's not too bad, but something's telling me there has to be an easier way.
No, because other countries can't generate any appreciable political pressure in the US. It would require an internal political movement and there isn't one of any moment.
I was in grade school when Jimmy Carter was president, and there was a political push back then. It still wasn't enough. Personally, I'd prefer to switch to metric, but I think the push has to be social, not political.
People who demonize libertarianism always try and paint it to be anarchy. In reality, libertarian would be what the founders intended. Not what we have today, and not anarchy.
It's not really any use trying to convince them. People who love big government might object to things like the Patriot Act or the Disney Millennium Copyright Act because it infringes on their rights, but they just can't seem to grasp the fact that the government has the power to impose these kinds of things is the root problem. Even with a smaller, limited federal government, you'd still have your state, county, city/township/village, and school district governments to rule over you.
Not to mention keeping our airplanes safe from containers of liquid larger than 3.4 ounces. Who knows what a terrorist might do if he smuggled 4 ounces of shampoo aboard a plane!
That could be a bomb, throw it in the garbage over there!

I don't even use the keychain for anything other than wifi network passwords.
I don't use iOS at all, but I didn't see the point in posting just to tell everyone this.
And yet you still did...

It's okay to hope neither side wins. May they spend many years in litigation...
The lawyers always win.

What competition? Any website you go to has creditcards and paypal. There is no other competition.
O rly? And let's not ignore this looming 800 lb. gorilla, which I'm sure is ready to spring into the retail market soon.

Which is exactly why I'll never deal with PayPal.

Hoplophobia is just a natural extension of zero tolerance (a.k.a. zero common sense) that has infested the school system.

How about summary trials and executions by unpaid citizen volunteers? It'll be a libertarian paradise.
Aside from the inconvenient fact that most libertarians oppose the death penalty. Nice try though.
