However, we are still anxiously awaiting a deathmatch-based development environment. Teams are great and all, but one "TKer" can spoil the entire experience. As a programmer, I prefer to work alone. Some idiot will always mess up the plan, be it with bad warthog driving or malformed code.
It's actually better to have your arms off the desk. Go look at an ergonomics diagram to see what I mean. Having your forearms resting on the desk means your wrists are tilted upwards, thus putting strain on the tendons. I got some wicked bad RSI doing that until I figured out what was wrong and raised my chair.
If you've signed a NDA or any other legally binding agreement that compells you to STFU about a particular subject, then you're not allowed to talk about that subject, be it to your family around the dinner table or to the world via a blog. Seems pretty simple...
But not much can be done about it. Games make money. Lots of money. When there's that kind of power behind an industry, the most critics can do is get warning labels on the boxes.
I don't think fuel is leaking in that the rate of consumption is not what is to be expected, but rather there was not enough fuel in the tank to start with.
You moron, a nuke wouldn't do anything. The sun is setting off nukes by itself all the time, it would just become more powerful! The only solution would be to create an anti-sun, an exact copy of the sun but made of anti-matter - and send THAT to the sun. KaBOOOM! No more sun. No more Milky Way either, but hey.
Never give web-executable scripts more permissions than absolutely required. If the search engine has permission to read sensitive documents, and web users have access to this engine... well duh. It's just common sense.
Keep in mind though, you have to rip the CD, fill in all the ID3 tags (CDDB sucks) and find album art, which is usually low quality and off-color. I end up scanning half of mine. Then look at iTunes: complete tags, effin' huge album cover art, all with a single click. My CDs are sitting in a stack, taking space and gathering dust.
Interestingly enough, that single engine is more reliable than the two props that were used before. The probability of both props failing, plus the probability of either one failing is higher than the probability of the single jet failing any time during the flight. (Although if it did fail, it would be rather close to the end of the flight, if you get my drift...)
I especially liked the double "about." Seriously, if the editors ran the submissions through a spell/grammar checker,/.'s cred would go way up. Get rid of the dupes, and we've got ourselves a respectable website.
My neighbor had a wind chime. It got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore, so I waited until they were gone, stole it, and threw it in the garbage. Wind chimes are loud, annoying, repetitive, and no, I'm not a grumpy old man.
I'm wondering why this mysterious matter cannot be detected. Devoid of electrons, perhaps? Looking at the picture...this stuff isn't just dark, it's transparent. Have they tested this image for lensing? I dunno about you, but I find this all very creepy.
Handheld robots however are found to be mostly running Windux. This is quite convenient for a certain company, makers of a certain window-cleaning solution... ah hell, I've got nothing. You?
Seriously. On my side of the fence (OS X), we have Security Updates that are released as soon as possible after a hole is found. Then, we have major Updates (10.3.1, 10.3.2, etc). If you're more than one version behind, Software Update installs a combo updater (including all security updates), and you're good to go after one restart, no matter what version you're running. You're only exposed to the net for as long as it takes to download the package. What's so hard about that? Why this huge fuss over a difficult and long project to cram a huge-update-that-everyone-needs into one "service pack"?
From some random site, the volume of Earth's oceans is 1.3*10^9 km^3. That's roughly 40,000 times as much water as what was just found on Mars. Inferring the existance of even more water on Mars, and taking into account the fact that Mars is smaller than Earth (surface area of Earth is ~ 6.65 times that of Mars?), you might say the avearge ocean depth of Earth is at most 6000 times greater than that of Mars. Not too friggin bad, let's terraform this sucker.

Yeah I am American, but the post was meant as a VERY sarcastic poke at America-centrism. So come on, lighten up.
"Dear GOD, where is my TECH SUPPORT?!?!! Nobody in the call center is answering!" Feel free to mod me -1 heartless bastard.

If you have an unlimited data plan, what's stopping you from listening to internet radio on your cellphone?
And to sound like a broken record, but it must be done, that is correlation, not causality.

Problem is, a lot of corporations use ActiveX for their internal web apps. That of course locks them into IE...

My computer is a circumvention device. I suppose I should stop usi
Funny, but insightful. A search engine should be like a dictionary: descriptive not proscriptive.

I don't know about you, but I stocked up on EyeTV's for the coming nuclear winter that is the broadcast flag...

That's 800*900*0.045. You ARE mistaken, oh punny Anonymous Coward who is never wrong!

I'm sure they'd both sue you...
