You throw money their way? What's that like, mailing a couple dollars? I'm use to the old fashion way of paying the developers i guess. I doubt you pay at all though. Unless you're forced to because you want to multi-play with friends who are legit. It's faster to read a review or just watch a "let's play" on youtube to make your purchase decision than to pirate the game.
Agreed. Vigilantism is still a useful tool. He might be right if we lived in a perfect society (he just says civilized). But at that point the government would have done something and you'd have no need to deal with the criminal yourself.
If you want two separate threads to draw to the same window then you are doing it wrong. I think you do not understand what is going on in your game. If your 25% cpu load is because you have four cores and only one is being used that means there are zero dedicated rendering threads. The ai, game logic, content loading, physics, networking, user input, and rendering are all taking place within the same thread. That is not an openGL problem. They likely designed the game to render frames synchronized with the game state. Rendering at 200 FPS when the game is only changing 40 times a second is a worthless. I do share you dislike of being thread bound though. Let the ai pathfinding algo have an entire core for all i care. I bought it, so let's use it, lol.
Just launch them a browser in Sandboxie and you'll be fine. The free version is all you would need. When the browser closes it will take everything with it.
It's a tough one (in my opinion). From a military stand-point you have to be as uncompromising as possible. If your guys keep getting wounded from sniper fire from a town. Do you keep risking someone getting shot or do you cordon and search the town? You can ignore it if you have higher priorities but eventually you'll have to search that town from top to bottom. Which may cost you way more guys than just leaving the sniper alone. Long ago i was in a convoy that was ambushed at night. We had 8 HMMWV (mounted with 6x M2.50 cals and 2x M249 SAW) and two armored trucks called ASVs (dual mounted with M2 and MK19 a 40mm automatic grenade launcher) armed to the teeth and plenty of nightvision. The ambush was a total failure, zero casualties and no disabled vehicles.. we just rolled right through it. We rallied on the other side and the convoy commander said we'll just keep going and ignore the amushers. That had to be one of the stupidest calls i've ever seen. His reasoning was that we all made it, we shouldn't risk any lives to kill them. We made it, sure. What about the next group rolling through? He was a pretty weak leader, imo. He is also responsible for any future deaths by those ambushers.
My little story does apply a little bit to this situation. If someone makes the call that it's not worth it to remove DPRK as a threat. They are liable for all the deaths that will occur after that decision. It should never be so easy to brush away human lives as not being worth saving. That being said, there are impossible situations where it's a suicide mission. Only the stupid and the brave will attempt it. Trying to remove the DPRK is damn close to a suicide mission. The US would be stupid to try it. So here we are, in an impossible situation and continuously saddened by the deaths of DPRK's victims.
That's a good point! I'd say no. But honestly i have no idea what a patent license looks like. We've all seen copyrights though. Could you bake a patent license into a copyright notice that allows it to create new license copies? That sounds really odd.
I agree with you that DPRK has a loud mouth but it has resulted in deaths. Not only of it's own people but South Koreans as well. Opening dams to cause flooding, torpedoes, and artillery have killed South Koreans. Those were intentional acts. But i suppose some amount of killing has to be ignored, right? It would be silly to go to war over just a few deaths. DPRK will have to kill a lot of people before it becomes worth it. Which is unfortunate.
"them" could be anyone, including you. Spinning up Apache is something any beginner developer can work through. Or even better, just pay 3$ a month for a place to host your stuff. Now you are one of "them". I understand your argument but it's like saying we shouldn't use wikipedia because they could nuke the website tomorrow to spite us. I don't want to go back to Encarta on a CD.
I don't think you've tried Android then. My girlfriend wrote an app that looks for "emergency" and "help" in an incoming text. Then it takes the phone off silent and maxes the volume. Took her two weekends and it's the first thing she's ever written in java. Give it a shot : )
Isn't that the same as saying that if you bought a patent you could void all current licensed copies in existence? Each of those licenses was a contract of sorts, right?
It was probably the way you brought the Bill of Rights into the discussion. Likely they wanted to argue with you but couldn't because it would undo all their moderation on the page.
If it's an open source project, then it will be safe for those companies to use it. This shouldn't have anything to do with the end-user. It's about the project. Oracle, Microsoft, and Apple cannot fork map reduce and sell their own version. They can fork it and develop their own free version though.
So true. There should always be some kind of error or warning. If the developer then chooses to suppress it, that's on them. I do like MySQL errors though. Much more descriptive than the MSSQL ones i get regularly at work.

Oh god, could you imagine DayZ? It can be over a kilometer between towns sometimes.

Most pilots suck, that's just the way it is. Leave you feedback and watch another : )

TL;DR Yes, you're right. It would be silly.

I'm with you but i remember this story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_planes_bomb_plot

You must have forgotten VRML and ActiveX.

If google had a digestion system then you better do everything in your power not to be given a tour of it.
Why wait? There are plenty of companies you can buy voting shares in and then cause permanent damage to.

That does sound more like developer problem than a mysql one though. You should touch it.. a lot.
