"i buy pc and consoles i haz money for everything, consoles have exclusives so need to have those to play exclusives" "the graphics don't matter, the gameplay matters"
which is a bit strange, when the article is about a game that downgrades resolution because the publisher thinks that graphics matter that much that it's ok to cheat a little bit on fidelity to get an extra graphical effect into the game.
so, gameplay matters? but the resolution affects gameplay directly! the extra effects that made the downgrade to non 1080p necessary don't matter to gameplay!
also asimov already explored the same themes in his writing.
including the non-expansive civilization(that banned atomic research through time machines and shit and limited discovery of interstellar travel as a consequence), which was a failure in his grand plot thing.
it's really because they have focus groups of old moms who keep telling them that the blurred+film grained + shitted all over with post effects looks better than a sharp 1080p picture.
that's really the gist of things and why they don't do 1080p. it would have been real easy for them to limit things to so that they could have that.
and you fail to see that there has been 30+ games that could replace CS as their game?
I mean, why this game now? have you played any other game after cs came out? I could understand your comment that they might be playing it for a few years if there wasn't such games coming out by the numbers every year.
state employees are supposed to make up reports on if the weather change etc is happening and how much and to ponder if their state budget is sustainable or not.
man, the TFA itself answers it's headline question as "we're friggin cool! we're relevant! please use us!" (in other words).
it misses though bigtime. jmonkeyengine is only relevant if you want to code your game in java.
and you know, what the friggin license is jmonkeyengine under anyways? you have to go to wikipedia to find out since their own site doesn't find it necessary to tell you..
if it was that efficient, they would have chosen a windmill demonstrator.
it's not that efficient, so they chose this demonstrator. if it provided enough power to charge a phone, they would have had that on the demonstrator. all their uses could be done with a tiny solar cell.
well done mentioning an os mentioned in the blurb!
anyhow, could you tell if it has working 3d hardware support? nvidia, amd? few year old cards? there was some hubbub about it few years ago but never catched if they had managed to do it or not.
I ran BeOS dano leaked beta for few years on an irc/mp3 box. it was great and unlike ubuntu if the soundsystem crashed you didn't need a reboot. you didn't need a reboot for anything pretty much and did it's thing on a 300mhz or something box pretty well.
not that it matters now for me too much since I'm stuck with windows anyways, but haiku might be nice for a netbook.. if the wifi works.
to be fair the water can push wherever disrupting the support, their cooling(presumably from sea) and such. it wouldn't probably be much of a concern if they built it well and with though - made it so that the incoming water isn't channeled straight into something critical. but hey, it's pakistanis building it? yes?
it's the possibility of having the the earthquake under the plant that's worse though in probabilities.
that and well the whole unstability of the city itself... though to be fair the unstability of the city itself is such that the plant is probably the least of their concerns!
TOO FUCKING BAD LYNCH MOBS AND DENYING TRIAL is pretty fucking far from being decent. yet statistics and probabilities say that some people in the lynch mob were rapists too.
so yeah, they got a lot of work ahead of them in being viewed as fair and civilized society.
the company by all means should be already bankrupt. its just that french government ownership goes through couple of different ways to it, making it more than 70.
I mean, who the fuck would keep holdings in a company like this other than the french government? it should be bankrupt.
According to Financial Times in December 2014 construction of the Olkiluoto plant has descended into farce as it is currently expected to open nine years late and several billions of euros over budget.[8]
the main problem behind their problems is that they're selling projects at prices they have made up as if cheap movable labor was as efficient as good labor and their prices were not designed for the safety specs necessary AND they didn't even have the fucking design when they were selling it. like, they didn't have the control system designed by the original date the plant was supposed to open. how the fuck do you sell billion dollar projects like that? answer: the french.
should have just bought from the germans.
nothing uncertain about olkiluoto projects political environment except: the fucking french are asking money from Finland from the delays after maxing out the penalties to a level that should bankrupt the company already.
yeah there's nothing else SO LIMITED in the smartphone marketspace. so little choice with devices, so little choice with what you can do with them as an user(or dev).
and yes I have VS2013 open now with a WP 8.1 project.. doesn't change the facts. there's only one country in the friggin WORLD where you might be fooled into thinking that windows phone is popular enough to target and that country is Finland, due to Nokia dumping them on finnish companies on hard sale tactics, giving them free to all mobile sw companies in the country and so forth.
and look man, they used the same exact sales pre bungoshit about windows phone 7, windows phone 7.5, 8.0 and 8.1. about them going to be the breakthrough. well they sure did BREAK SOMETHING, namely they broke Nokia to be broke.
and really take a look at how many manufacturers are bothering with Windows Phone at all. it's now down to one: Microsoft.
so did they or did they not have a running prototype? it seems they did but then they wanted to develop another more expensive product.
the story reads like they started r&d after getting the money. _all_ r&d including case manufacturing options(yes there are other options than injection molding and 3d printing, which are all pretty much cheaper in their unit range) and all code for the micro and choosing another micro..
I mean, how the fuck can you spend so much more on your r&d that you were supposed to already have been done?
furthermore, they didn't design the product to the means they had available - for example, if you're a low run and injection molding tooling is too expensive(and you know that because you've done a cursory google search beforehand, right, right???) you can get of the shelf aluminium cases and such quite cheaply. sure it's 5-10 times more expensive per unit than injection moulding but still would be under 10% of the 99 bucks. lasercutting etc would all be options - they would just have had to compromise on the overall shape of the frigging device. like, fuck, http://www.alibaba.com/product... here's a box 3 dollars + cheap ass shipping. or a bunch of other similar boxes, extrusion they could have cut etc. then the cheap ass method of pcb for the ends( cheap cheap in low run too) to hold the display, buttons etc.
fuck you could even source them as 3d printed pieces nowadays cheaper than the quoted 25$ per case due to the tooling.
really, the whole story reads like they didn't do the development beforehand and promised stuff out of their asses. they wanted to change the product to a more expensive one and do the r&d again after the kickstarter while the kickstarter should only have had to pay for the production of what they already demonstrated.
whats even worse? they're using this as a publiciy stunt for their smartphone apps! that is they have a revenue source, they're an existing company, they just blew a lot of customers money on paychecks to themselves and didn't deliver.
because the piece of shit director thought that would make people distracted from that he was unable to keep even the little bit of SCI (or consistency, or logic) that was in start trek in star trek.
into the darkness.. like, all kinds of stupid shit and plot makes no sense at all.
yeah it's always bad when vocal participants like the client(product owner whatever) wants to add complexity to actually make the product do what it is supposed to do..
and if you actually make an uml diagram that results in hundreds of thousands of lines of java code that does the same thing as 100 lines then you have fucked up quite badly in both making the uml diagram and writing the code.
I think the OP was asking for a solution to do just high level design anyhow, to slash up the work into smaller logical segments - so that they don't end up writing hundreds of thousands of lines of unnecessary code.
a whiteboard is useful that you can draw anything on it. like drawing the flow of the program from ui side for example to communicate to the team what the end product needs to do so the team can figure out what the backend has to be capable of and so forth. if that part is skipped the server guys can for example write some shit that they claim fills the role of the server but is fucking horrible at doing what it needs to do and ends up needing a total rewrite before the product can ship.
they're living in poverty while working for foxconn too so whats the difference?
at least now they'll be hiring more decent engineers. the only reason they were using human labor in the first place in such amounts and in such boring easily automated tasks was that they lacked decent manufacturing engineers. in other words it was cheaper(or easier in their work culture) to hire 40 guys to put in screws instead of hiring 1 decent guy to first make a jig for the work and 1 guy pressing the button to do the work.
Slashdot Mirror
does it work?
would you like new UI better?
on tablets I don't like the double drawer shit for example.
ah but paying ms and then getting the money back in wp, windows etc licenses - and cross licenses - helps samsung.
it keeps the smaller players out from the market.
never noticed how the western phone market is lacking all the new manufacturers? that's not a coincidence and this is how they're keeping them out.

pretty shitty considering that you're supposed to be buying parts that have a known history only.
not worth the trouble. kidnapping would be more profitable. dropped at a chopshop? where?
your friends who still play CS?
and you fail to see that there has been 30+ games that could replace CS as their game?
I mean, why this game now? have you played any other game after cs came out? I could understand your comment that they might be playing it for a few years if there wasn't such games coming out by the numbers every year.

what the fuck? is this accurate? they're backporting systemd but ignoring patches like this? if that's the case, RIP them.
well with chrome you would be shit out of luck to change it if google will not.
with chromium though there should be a patch... or maybe not. googles answer to their own projects has been to backport the patch.
well done mentioning an os mentioned in the blurb!

it's not an ultrabook though since it's i7 core?
desktop replacement laptops have ALWAYS been near desktops in speed. unsurprisingly so.
dunno about that.
many people want to APPEAR good and decent there.
TOO FUCKING BAD LYNCH MOBS AND DENYING TRIAL is pretty fucking far from being decent. yet statistics and probabilities say that some people in the lynch mob were rapists too.
so yeah, they got a lot of work ahead of them in being viewed as fair and civilized society.
it's actually more than that.
the company by all means should be already bankrupt. its just that french government ownership goes through couple of different ways to it, making it more than 70.
I mean, who the fuck would keep holdings in a company like this other than the french government? it should be bankrupt.
quite a few those had human initiated burns to make their their trips, so how driverless is that?
