I understand utorrent for Windows has the "download from beginning" which is a pretty killer feature. On my Windows machine with BitComet (don't laught) it means I can start watching after 15 seconds instead of having to wait a whole 5-15 minutes.
Windows version probably works for WINE, maybe I should use that instead.
Because having Apple hardware has hipster cred, and then when people see the Apple hardware with Linux running on it, you'll have nerd cred. So if you really want to set yourself apart as a cool guy who's good at computers, Linux on a Mac is the way to go.
Ecuador should be perfect for him, as the Ecuadorean government refuses to stop camps that participate in rape, because converting homosexuals into good straight Christians is such a worthy cause and rape is a pittance. I mean you shouldn't do it, but what's really the bigger crime?
If we ever live in an apocalyptic society where paper has lost all its value, I imagine a bank certificate for a shiny metal won't be worth nearly as much as maybe oil or a car or maybe a cool Master Blaster style outfit that comes with a dwarf.
It's hilarious, right? Hey there's some other great new jokes on Slashdot if you look around...wait until you see poll results, where "Commander Taco" is cleverly worked into one of the answers!!! Or, 80 comedian Yakoff Smirnoff's trademark line is appropriated to talk about how much we hate copyrights or the USA! It's so funny!!!
On Slashdot, who cares about financials. As long as the company can keep operating, the profits generated are outside of our concern.
From a game player's standpoint, Nintendo is a step away from dead. They've increasingly come to rely on a small number of franchises that are growing increasingly stale. Exciting new games do not come out for Nintendo.
Bully for their bottom line that they've been good attracting people who don't normally buy games to buy a Wii and then put it into their closet 6 months later.
Do Western Europeans ever get tired of holding themselves up as the measuring stick for the whole world? The whole "hundreds of years of brutal colonization and genocide" thing would seem seem to preclude this.
Sci-fi writers aren't going to be given ticker-tape parades. The best they can hope for is cult success within the genre, and a Hollywood re-make. By these metrics PKD was wildly successful.
That's an excellent choice, if by "underappreciated" you mean "widely read and extremely popular with sci-fi fans, but not quite a household name. Oh, and George Clooney starred in a movie adaptation of one of his novels."
I agree. Surely some random guy on Slashdot with no experience developing games must know more about the subject than a lifetime game developer with numerous classic titles under his belt and who made John Carmack's tech demos fun to play.
Because, Android has bugs! Therefore, piracy isn't a problem!
The vast majority of movies that are created aren't based on pre-existing content. However, the movies people actually care about and go watch generally are. For instance, if you look at Slashdot's "Movie" tags, it's entirely comic books and Star Trek and Star Wars. Not much on "The Queen Of Versailles" or "The Imposter" although these are both supposed to be excellent movies.
Nothing wrong with that, but it's bizarre to complain that you want to see original content, and then not go see the original content that is easily available.
I've heard this expression, but where do you find these pushers? It seems to me there's enough pushers out there you could just move from one to the other getting free drugs for as long as you want, totally ideal. All the pushers I see aren't good enough I suppose.
I need to grow up and stop making jokes about G+? Are you a Google employee?
But yes, of course a lot of people signed up for the service to give it a try, and then quit and never used it again. Actually that describes just about all my friends who use Facebook.
Look at how game reviews work though. Unless the game is a complete debacle, every game will get a positive review, and the game would have a "fresh" rating of 100%
Considering all the campaigning the guy has done about privacy rights, it's totally bizarre that he's recording 24/7, even when he goes to private businesses with a reasonable expectation that you wouldn't be recording. Then when somebody attacks him for it, he mails their photographs and id cards to all the national embassies he can, and posts face-redacted photographs to the internet.
I guess when the shoe's on the other foot, he's actually opposed to privacy rights.
Two totally different things, there's no comparison. Open Pandora is $500 and portable. Nobody would ever buy one for home use, because you'd be better off buying a cheaper but more powerful netbook or desktop.
Whereas the Ouya is purely for home use, and cheap.
I'm annoyed by the idea of ads, but in reality I don't think the ads get in the way at all.
If you start your system with a game in it, press the "a" button and the game goes. To browse the game library, press down and hit "a."
It's not like you have to sit through a commercial, it doesn't even take up screen space that would be better used elsewhere. It's basically a non-factor.
XBLA games that get popular get popular through positive reviews, word-of-mouth, and advertising. Not because people are randomly browsing through streamlined XBox menus and decide to take a chance.
We'll see how it works. I imagine it's an 80-20 situation and that that the most popular items will be available from smaller warehouses, but the more obscure items may have to ship cross-country and will take longer.

You have utorrent for a Mac (as do I).
I understand utorrent for Windows has the "download from beginning" which is a pretty killer feature. On my Windows machine with BitComet (don't laught) it means I can start watching after 15 seconds instead of having to wait a whole 5-15 minutes.

The first person to make the "go at night" joke should be permabanned.

Just because something is shiny doesn't mean it inherently has value. And far from stable, gold's price goes up and down against the dollar. For instance $4,500 of gold purchased in the early 80s is currently worth around $1000, after you take inflation into account.
If we ever live in an apocalyptic society where paper has lost all its value, I imagine a bank certificate for a shiny metal won't be worth nearly as much as maybe oil or a car or maybe a cool Master Blaster style outfit that comes with a dwarf.

Hitler comparisons? Aren't we past this?

Right, it's acceptable for rationalizing piracy, with the unjustic of a pregnant woman having to see a helicopter, but not for gun control.

Well to be fair he only published a single novel.
That's an excellent choice, if by "underappreciated" you mean "widely read and extremely popular with sci-fi fans, but not quite a household name. Oh, and George Clooney starred in a movie adaptation of one of his novels."

Comic book movies are all about action and explosions and special effects. Simple good guy/bad guy stories work best for the medium.

But yes, of course a lot of people signed up for the service to give it a try, and then quit and never used it again. Actually that describes just about all my friends who use Facebook.
And half the people who use it are Google employees, so it makes sense they'd be more positive in satisfaction surveys.

Slashdot: providing anti-social weirdos a soapbox, since 1997!

You're too easily impressed. Indie games are 90% "Super Mario Brothers - but with a twist!"
