What the? I had no problems getting games running on the Wii. Actually properly using the PS3 would be really hard, because of that crazy CPU. Something that the 360 shares partially, by the way.
Sure you can use the same codebase for *WINDOWS* PCs and Xbox 360es (which happen to be what comes out when you put a PS3 and a PC in a blender). But what about PCs with other OSes. OS X, Linuxes, etc. And mobile phones running Symbian and J2ME (ok, and that shitty BREW).
Those are the real targets of indie developers. Cheap to code for, cheap to design for, not that many good games competing with you... I think you can make much better money there, than going straight against EA & co on the really fat systems. I mean as an indie, you will never work 3 years with 30-100 people on HD graphics, models, maps, etc.
Are they? Nah. We have professional psychology experts in these modern regimes. People that know exactly how to influence and manipulate people into not only accepting things, but *wanting* them too. They do not say "Now we enforce this, despite you all not wanting it!". Nowadays they say "Well, OK! We did not want it, but because you all want it so badly, we will make it a law now."
They *get* completely stupid? I thought that constant extreme stupidity (grunt style), was the very reason they were hired in the first place! ^^
Seriously. Add the factor that it is very hard to punish a cop for his errors, when he should be punished just as everybody else. And you got the problem.
Well, if you of all people state that, then it must be true, mustn't it, managing editor *with a huge interest in the site not looking bad* "Chris".;)
But let's just say, after all the problems with your tests, I can not trust you any more. If you want to re-gain that trust, try to make your testing methods really clear, and do not fall for so many beginners errors and strange things, that the first person in the comments can point out in about five minutes. ^^ I recommend getting some feedback from external people, before you put an article out there. That way you can fix these issues in-place. (Oh, and better have comments pointing out errors, than having no comments at all. Everyone with a bit of web experience will avoid sites without comments, for obvious trust issues.)
Well, this all can be boiled down to one simple rule: Nobody gets hurt by those "raves", and even less so by the party. So it is not illegal. Period. The law is illegal. The makers and enforcers are illegal.
Now you could say that this only works, because they are stronger. But are they really? I mean count the people in the whole UK. Minus most of the police forces and politicians. (And maybe the army too. Then take all those Police/Army/Politicians, and compare them to the rest. I bet you are getting something between 50 and 1000 people per P/A/P person. And if you think they could stop that many people, you are seriously brainwashed. ^^
So what is the real reason? That nearly all people still find this behaviour* "just ok"/"awww-right"?
___ * No, I'm neither from the UK, USA, Ireland or any other English-speaking country. So I don't know about the fine differences. (But from what I see, we will soon all speak English only here in Germany.;)
...how this is even close to be thinkable as being legal? I mean, in simple words: Who is the one who got hurt here? Because if nobody is, and nobody could be, then this whole thing by itself is illegal. (Because the police clearly wrecked the night for those 15 people.) The UK gets more and more like 1984. Raids before a "crime" even happened. Surveillance. Harrassment by the police. Etc, etc, etc. And apparently, the threshold for real riots because of this, is far from reached, is it? How far are you from a revolution up there? (Remember to not let your feeling on this be influenced by the "they are stronger" fear. Because in fact you are always at least ten times more people, and not only therefore always stronger.)
Why does nobody get, that you can put things up such a site and expect them to be private too, IF:
You can configure privacy rules for every element of that data. Separately. For a fine grained self-definable set of rules over groups. Just as a firewall or other proper security system.
I do not think that they will keep it private though.
But I do think that private data should have a huge price tag on it (think infringement), and that Facebook should then be sued for it, and for making money out of it.
So much that they not only go down, but will have to work off debt for the rest of their lives.
But there is one more rule: Give them one, and just one, chance to fix it. A month should be enough, and be realistic. Also bugs are not intended breaches of privacy, and have to be handled differently. (=hurt much less, but still hurt.)
If you are talking about the voice actors: What if what they would get would be a total ripoff. Where do you draw the line? At 1 cent per gig? If you are talking about the TV network: You know that the only reason of existence for those companies is money, do you? Everything else is completely irrelevant to them. Half the world could die, and they would still try to make as much money out of it as possible.
Uuum, every tried the option under "settings -> content -> extended..." in Firefox? Disable the right-click menu-hiding functionality, and you're good.
Oh, and Firebug always helps, when nothing else does.
I raise you the third reich, politicians in general, religions/cults, movements, and just about any other event of a strong reality of a loud person dragging half the country with him.
I wonder how often that was re-discovered already...
Wow, respect! I know how incredibly hard it is to get back on track! You have my full respect! And from the notion of "quackery", I know that you really know what psychatry is. ^^ I hope they soon are able to base psychology on a proper neurologic foundation, and can then throw away what we call psychatry, and many of thosp pseudo-therapies of psychology, and actually cure people, instead of just muting their brain functionaliy or talking and talking without results.
About the music: If you think your stuff is crazy, you clearly do not know Aphex Twin. check out the videos to "Windowlicker" and "Come to daddy", then the teaser video "Rubber Johnny" and the track "Omgyjya Switch 7" from the album "Druqs". Then look at this picture: http://navid.radiantempire.com/pub/pix/aphex_twin.jpg
And he is called one of the greatest geniuses of electronic music!
Then think about stuff like Marilyn Manson or Eisregen (German gothic psycho "band").
All in all, I think you're good, no matter what music you do.:D
I agree. But your problem is that you are trying to attack schizophrenia with logic. I recommend trying to argue about something with someone with schizophrenia for an hour. Then you see that logic does not help here. My brother worked with a guy, who insisted that he was able to control the whole world. He ran on the highway, stating that nothing would hit him, because he would control everything. He got hit by a car. He landed in a hospital. And the first discussion when he could talk again, was that this happened, because he *wanted* it to happen. Then he did make up a story about why he wanted that.
The good thing is, that if you know this, you can create scenes where he has to argue that he wanted things, that you want him to want. So usually (because you want to help him), you change him in a way that he wants do to what is really good to him. But this is long, hard, and will not even really cure his dis-association from reality. (For that you need a lot more than a simple therapy!)

Best. Centerfold. Ever?
No, you understand thin wrongly: It's good that it is news now, where it was so common to be expected before. This would mean it's an exception now.
But of course this only is true, if it actually was an exception. And we can't prove that, or the opposite, can we?
Beware, for they might contaminate your businesses precious liquid assets!

It's their share pot for code, I guess.

So you have the Ministry of Redundancy Ministry, abbreviated as MiniMin?
I bet people are calling it the MiniMin ministry.

Risk the entire show for some money?
If you are talking about the voice actors: What if what they would get would be a total ripoff. Where do you draw the line? At 1 cent per gig?

But if you were hungry, wouldn't you think of actual *food* instead? ^^
I raise you the third reich, politicians in general, religions/cults, movements, and just about any other event of a strong reality of a loud person dragging half the country with him.
I wonder how often that was re-discovered already...
Depends on if you, the judge and the jury as stupid enough to believe it!
No, really! A rule that is made up by someone, is only as true as the people who believe in it.
In reality of course, the person who did infringe the copyright, is the one to talk to.
Or else you could sue the company building the street, for murder, because someone on that street got killed!
...to, you know, "haunt" the RIAA a bit?
Or is Freddy friends with other demons from "deeeep down under"? ^^
What? Lawyers with a heart *and* a conscience? Unpossible!
Can someone check if Satan plays Duke Nukem Forever because it's too cold to go outside in hell?
