Well, the last time I went to Best Buy was to try out a Kindle Fire. I quickly found out, from use in their store, that it's far too crippled for me to purchase as a general Android tablet device. I had no intention of buying it there had I liked it. I may even have placed the order for one at amazon.com from my phone while still standing in their showroom. Sorry?
The last time I made the mistake of clicking on one of these new Slashdot videos, the video was preceded by a several minute long ad on some ridiculous alternative/new-age treatment. Ignoring the ridiculous length of it (any video ad longer than 10 sec and I'm out...), who thought that was relevant to science/tech/nerds?
At this point, I would say: If they want to be a programmer, tell them not to waste their 4 years getting a CS degree. Study something else entirely and write code on their own time. If they truly enjoy programming, they'll learn far more by just doing and reading all of the vast resources out there, on the Internet and in libraries, as they need them to solve problems. Then when they do graduate, they won't just be another code monkey - They'll have a good start towards some domain expertise and be able to model it with their coding skills.
This is it. Also, if FFXI did well in the west, it was because it showed up before WoW. I remember ditching FFXI a few months after WoW was released and had been somewhat ironed out because it was just a vastly better experience. The FFXI style of game play just seems cruel and masochistic to me now. Not that I have the patience for any of them anymore...
Don't get too high and mighty with your "hands on" job. I can see sets of articulate mechanical arms and hands attached to those tele-presence robot dealies staffing Burger Kings and Hospitals in the very near future.
Don't forget the motto of our authorities: Never let a good crisis go to waste. Just like a good sniper, they wait for loud distracting periphery to take shots.
There's just no second chances in this industry. I can't speak from experience because playing FFXI was enough to leave me with absolutely no interest in any follow-ups, but if it's really that bad then they are finished. People will say, 'Oh, but WoW was buggy at first', and that may be true, but I played WoW on release (the reason I canceled my FFXI sub) and it was a very entertaining game regardless.
Well, I'm pretty blind and I love the new 3D (as seen in Avatar at least; there's some lesser quality 3D going around in other flicks). The plastic 3D glasses conveniently fit over my large and very nerdy glasses. I understand some people have other issues, but I'll bet its a very small minority.
I'm sure it's no different in the UK. Truly qualified and rational people don't win or even care to run for office. It's whatever scumbags that are willing to take advantage of everyone's hatred of the 'others'. Back and fourth.
You're right, Google should blur all airports out and mask their names on their maps. If anyone tries to get directions to these locations, give the directions to the nearest DHS detention facility.
That's probably why I've used drudgereport.com for about the last decade as one of my first sources of daily news. This is despite thinking he and brietbart are a bunch of dirt bags. The site almost always something interesting to read between the slant.
Right on. For the GPP to make such a condemnation of the guy so completely out of context is total bullshit. For all we can know those kids will be better off having such a good first-hand demonstration of that kind of dedication and aspiration. Even if it's just a video. They could apply the lessons to whatever ends up peeking their interest.
It sounds like you want to teach computer game programming to me. If you really want to just teach game development maybe you should develop a pen & paper game. They can write the rule book. Otherwise you're teaching two things and maybe nobody will learn much of either.

Pray to god? Either way..
Bin Laden's Hideout should be available in all games.

Signs was not decent - you take that back...

It's just an excuse to talk about his tits.

By gun, do you mean bo staff or shurikens? And, by someone, do you mean a bear (species yet to be determined)?

Online shopping has no effect on pollution.
You're right, those titles do tip the scales in favor of an electronic device over the live animal.
Any idea what exactly copters they are using then? I wouldn't mind owning one of those. I've only ever seen the tiny little ones available retail.
FYI, Your links don't work. I've tried several times now...
What? The first Terminator was just as much based on time travel and changing the past as the second. You must not have seen it yet...

Well, the application forms for funding are coming to fruition at least...
Crowbars, ski masks and sneakers are gifts for burgling too... I think this point is baloney. It's merely a convenience, burglar or not.
