Not every game has to be Call of Warfare or Modern Duty, which is sadly all the big studios want to fund. If they can make a profit at $1 million great! Not every game is going to make or needs to make 400 times that.
That is for 2006 only. 20% of all Federal energy subsidies went to Nuclear.
I like nuclear power, I wish private industry did as well. I wish we could make a post office of electricity and have it build these reactors instead. What I don't like is people bashing sources of power private industry is actually adopting.
If you mean failure to make money that seems impossible, since they are getting their money upfront.
I would love to see more stuff done like this. We will make Movie/Show/Game X if we raise funds in the amount of Y. If not we refund the money and the entertainment is not made.
So he mentions MONKEY ISLAND, and you mention psychonauts. So if I say Alan Shepard was on the moon are you also going to point out that he plays a mean game of golf?
Private companies are building plenty of the former.
Nuclear power is great, but so far private companies have shown no interest. They even get insurance from the government and still no takers. Solar panel subsidies are never going to come near the amount of money the US govt has put into Nuclear power.
Normally this is for stuff outside your core market. For instance the company I work for uses an open source DB, we have a guy who commits fixes upstream. We are not the in the DB market, nor do we want the cost of keeping our own fork with the fixes we need. So we upstream it.
The fact that you are too greedy to see the advantage we gain by having only one guy instead of a whole team needed to keep a fork alive is your own fault.
I have only 24 hours in a day, I guess that is my fault. It is fine though, since I get paid well for being so specialized. Congratulations on being a jack of all trades and a master of none. I would rather find a job that pays the same than take a paycut to stay at the same employer.
I doubt they would want to pay my current wage for me to learn about MS stuff. I am assuming by the summary that all the unix/linux stuff would be abandoned. Meaning my position would be gone and a junior MS one would be available.
His employer switched to a platform he does not have enough knowledge with. He should find a job he can do ASAP. This is normal, happens all the time. I am a linux/unix sysadmin, I do some windows work as well, but I would never take a job were that was my main focus. It is outside my field of expertise, nor do I want to do that job. I will not take a job flipping burgers or digging ditches either.
The economy has nothing to do with it, I am getting 2+ recruiters calling me everyday for the past week. What your skills are matter far more than the economy.
We had better hope these bad guys never get curtains. This is not for going after bad guys, those are hard to catch. This is for going after people doing things that should not even be illegal while in the privacy of their own homes.
I have that too, but they are another option that appears the default option with long press is numbers. Sounds like the ipad keyboard is not very user friendly. Is it easily replaceable like the android one?
Something designed for this is going to cost a hell of a lot more than $500. Paper charts are far less convenient. Try doing a search on a paper book, for a term not in the index.
This seems like win win. Taxpayers save by using COTS tech and crews get ipads.
You generally cannot role out your own apps for ereaders. Each book can be an app, this means you can update them using the enterprise app stores and all that jazz.
Because they gave it to the greeks. The Germany economy is the largest in the EU and the fourth largest in the world. I think you are the one who needs to check his facts.
That is only the fuel, you forgot the cost of printing those books, distributing them, making sure the latest version is on each aircraft, replacing damaged copies, etc.
Linking to the heritage foundation for news on this subject is like linking to stormfront for news on white folks.
Even in your little blurb they say "communist" when it has nothing to do with it. The operator was in a communist nation, but that does not mean he was a communist.
Then you too can forever be polluted in a way that makes you unable to work on any other OS, WINE, or dozens of other commercial and free software projects!
Who in the hell would want to hire someone exposed to that to work on their software? You would be living in fear of the MS lawsuit.

They are still taking money.
I would have donated, but Windows only is a no go. I would have even accepted ps3 as an option.

Good for you.
Different strokes for different folks. I would not be willing to take the pay cut that comes with going from the Sr guy to a Jr.
I spend 8+ hours a day working, it had better be something I like doing.
You are a dickhead.

I only have an android tablet, but isn't it just long press on certain letters to get numbers? That is what my android tablet does.

I bet the program is not that big, and not many people who get into it end up working on this sort of code.
Sure you can look at NT kernel code and then go dev accounting software, that is not the fear I have.

No, but there might be some unforeseen consequences.
Were you dropped on your head as a child? Did your mother smoke crack? Are you just the typical moron
Next time before rushing for that first post, try google.
NRC in this context is Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

No need to guess. They break the sheeps' legs. This is why animal testing exists.
