Ah a drive by troll. How refreshing. Today I am bored enough to respond.
Once there was a Mongol army of such power and ferocity that it came close to wiping out western civilisation as we know it. So you are suggesting we should worry about that happening again? Are you really worried about getting nuked today, or tomorrow? I'm not. But then again I associate the frequency of an event with the risk of it reoccurring. I guess that by your reckoning we should not, and that all events that have ever happened are equally probable in the future, so we should treat them all the same.
I will now start worrying about herds of velociraptors raging across major cities causing carnage and destruction. After all, it is about the same level of hysteria as complaints that the one-time mob attack of a paediatrician is relevant 15 years after the event.
How much experience do you have, and what is it worth?
I've seen hundreds of students who try to learn to program. Some of them have the right kind of mind for it and most don't. The ratio seems to be about 40:60, which is what has been recorded in the literature as being the norm for most samples.
The right kind of mind is not necessarily that clever. It is not a 'special mind' in any kind of wonderful precocious sense. It is normally people who see through superficial explanations, that have a knack for modelling cause and effect in abstract systems that they cannot manipulate directly. I'm not sure how it relates to other clusters of skills that people may possess, but I have never seen any effective way to teach it to somebody who does not possess it naturally.
I've tried various methods of teaching it directly to students that do not have it. None of them have worked so far. I still hope that it is something that can be taught, although my experience so far suggests otherwise.
I don't get it, if you have three fingers up top what is left over to accidentally brush that strange button that you've never configured that just seems to make the x server freeze for long to start to worry you before it comes back to life?
This car has a 6000cc engine. True, only 5500cc can be used at once, but if the main engine is switched off then the little 500cc engine on the side can do a golf cart impression pretty well.
I'm using an Asus PB287Q with a GTX970. It sits on the boundary, so Elite Dangerous and Wolfenstein are comfortable in 4k. Far Cry and Metro need to drop to 2560x1440 to hit 50-60fps. Anything under 40fps is unplayable on this combo, not so much to do with looking bad, it feels like the input lag jumps below that rate.
The monitor looks alright at 1440p, a little soft and washed out but still better than my previous monitors in their native modes. In 4k the picture is unbelievable. At this size and sitting about 50cm from the screen it has a cinematic feel, but 1080p is painful to watch.
I can't quote directly as my phone is playing up, but is the evidence really that clear cut? I found three studies that claimed the opposite: famous controversial one from the 80s, a Canadian one from the 90s and a later American one. I also remember that when we were finding a place for our child there were specific guidelines limiting hours per week at different ages to prevent developmental problems.
Yeah, but the effect is that both parents are in full-time work by the time the child is two, who is then raised 7-8 hours a day in daycare. This is not exactly improving the child-parent relationship compared to one full-time carer until they reach school age.
If I was would that provide a connection between your comment and mine? If I was not would that provide a connection between your comment and mine?
Is the issue of origin taking information without asking for it related to my comment in any way, or was it specifically about the previous poster doing exactly the thing that he claimed was wrong?
In a comment about how spying is not stealing you then go on to suppose that it steals your privacy!?! How would that even work? Are you suggesting that origin actually has your privacy after taking it from you?
Only if he is close to the first echo. Otherwise it could be any volume when it finally passes him by. That is just the price that he pays for his privacy.
Sounds kind of strange - America is not the only country in the west and as a brit I learned that the basic concepts of algorithms and algebra were invented in the arab world, although the actual forms that we use today were developed in the 19th century. The eastern front was where nazis were sent to die (from the historical documentry Allo Allo probably), and stirrups came west with the Mongols who used them as a decisive military advantage.
So you could equally conclude that American education is uniquely crap in the western world.
Given your level of understanding, it is probable that you have nothing useful or interesting to add to this discussion. Have you considered just reading other people's comments for a change?
The program knows your name. The program stores your name.
Anthropomorphification is not much terser. However it is wrong - the intentional form implies many things that are not true. The non-intentional form indicates that the program works with a copy of the information. The difference between the two is where most bugs live.

It happened once. 15 years ago. Stop recycling it.
Well yeah, those gold cables weigh a bit more but the speed of the extra conductivity is worth it. Helps to give a desk that touch of bling as well.

No, but I would if I could. A mouse button that interrupts processes would make me a little bit erect.

Interesting cases, thanks for the reply.

Is that in Surface Detail, or do you mean the opening to Excession?
I see your google query, and I raise you one:

What reviews?

Is that some kind of copyright thing with the console version?

Where abouts on the spectrum do you lie?

Somebody with a Nobel Prize would disagree with you.
So you mean that they would need some way to stop people from seeing the reports that the torrent is fake?
Kind of like there would be some good content (accurate comments) and they would need to hide it somehow, maybe using some bad content.
Hmmm...... perhaps this is already a solve (non-)problem. We should get the astroturfers on it right away!
