  1. Edge needs to fix its bookmark toolbar. You can't arrange your bookmarks by dragging and dropping them. And the limitations on bookmark text because they still are NTFS file system files needs to die. NTFS filesystem character limitations need to die.

  2. He may be using a less common definition of "corporatism", but the more common definition is irrelevant because he is trying to illustrate a state of affairs. You may disagree with what that state of affairs is, but that is a different argument than the one you have presented.

  3. Based on limits to which people can consume. Companies exist to create more consumables. Once the amount of consumables reach the point where people just won't buy them, there will be no more jobs created.

  4. And your problem with that is? I suppose if that includes violence to other people that would be a problem, or if that meant not teaching job skills in an environment where people were actually valued for doing work instead of automating it, you might have a point.

  5. There are time pressures. But some articles fail to present any indication they are worth reading and one way they do so is a failure to be able to apply critical analysis of the subject matter.

    It's better that they are studying the situation rather than saying, "Meh, we'll simply not do that again" without really coming to an understanding of what they actually did that went wrong. I feel like that's what manufacturers frequently do. That being said, I hate the thin form factor as my hand wraps around the phone in such a way that it accidentally touches the screen sometimes.

    Well, one way of looking at it is that he did a business use case to determine if there was competition and determined that AMD simply wasn't competitive.

    You ARE a Slashdotter! Projection much. I don't care about your supposed awkwardness, It's a perfectly cromulent way of phrasing the statement, and concise as well. I am not "defensive"; I'm definitely in the attacking category. And I attacked the stupidity of failing to be comfortable with the phrase "baby Vincent".

    Well excuse me for focusing mainly on indies. You lose a lot of your potential audience by focusing on the sorts of gamers that GamerGate appealed to. Oh, and Square-Enix, lots of Square-Enix. And forget Konami, because I don't cuss and Jim Sterling uses the cuss word variant, so you should know what I mean. MGS is a Konami game right? Oh, I still play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, though and a few of the other Castlevanias, so whatever.

    Well they are going to run into problems down the road that will force the world to take a hard look at the messed up economic system that forces people to create financial obligations they won't be able to live up to in order to get the situation they want, but unless they want to do that looking now, who cares about the non-live-up-to-able obligations?

    But school education is just sad in general. I had to learn a lot of things on my own that if schools hadn't acted oblivious to the reality of certain aspects of what they were teaching, I wouldn't have had to. Then they basically "teach" the same thing over and over again. A lot is wasted.

  13. In the Smalltalk post, the idea that Smalltalk's pure object-oriented supposed goodness was simply ideal for learning programming. In this one, the idea that there's no downsides only upsides to Instagram.

    And the saddest part is they don't cover how to react in school.

    Whether or not psudonyms are "real names" depends on the person who has the psudonym and whether we can agree on what "real" even means in this situation.

    I agree. Wait, this isn't Facebook, my bad.

    http://www.ign.com/wikis/best-... says their game of the year is Witcher 3

    http://www.gamespot.com/articl... also says Witcher 3 and shows an image with a woman wearing clothing that is selectively revealing.
    So what is this game you are talking about again?

  25. Well, then if people aren 't being censored, then why did you say "Game of the Year" instead of saying whatever the name of the so-called "Game of the Year" is. Many games have game of the year editions and I wouldn't be surprised if various game magazines have awards they call "Game of the Year". So, out with it, what is the name of the game?
