A death threat is not criticism. Don't take my word, crack a dictionary.
"Customer is always right"?
Bwahahahaha. Try that attitude here in So Mo. You'll get shown the door and told to never return. If you don't leave, you'll get friggin' thrown out.
"What other IT industry behaves as badly and treats their customers with such contempt?"
From years of reading/. - I'd say all of them.
If I pay for a game and it is riddled with bugs - not meager rendering glitches, but basic accountancy stuff - exactly how am I to get a refund? And, if I can't get a refund, why in hell should I not bitch about a shoddy product?
No.. Software is supposed to work - period. If it doesn't, it's a lemon.
I simply don't understand those who rail about programmers that don't know shit in the corporate world and then give game developers a bye on exactly the same practices.
As another commenter said, this presumption falls apart with F2P. They are the most numerous, the most vocal and not at all 'customers', yet for some reason, devs listen to those people and actually implement game changes that are to the detriment of everyone else.
Wrong. "This thing called love"? In fact, if you crack a dictionary, the very first definition (which indicates percentage usage) it is "a matter of concern".
doesn't mean they are. The dictionary definition of talent is so vague (4. a) : a special innate or developed aptitude for an expressed or implied activity usually of a creative or artistic nature) that it's not much more than something you can do with a degree of competence.
Cost savings *minus* the time and money it would take to process 40K photos of watermarks - then relinquish copyright on them. Doesn't sound all that cheap.

I've read this entire posting of threads and not one person suggested it was the only type of feedback devs got.
Understand "red herring".
That was pathetic. Simply pathetic.

Shout fire in a theater and see how far that takes you.

AC troll. No more, no less.
Games do not train people to kill other people. Debunked thoroughly and yet still promoted as true.

Neither of which would hold water as legal employment in court. You're full of crap.
"... the only information they are allowed ..."
Not at all true. If anything, it's locally regulated. They may not *want* to, but they're not (universally) prohibited.
If your personal reference is someone within your previous company of employment, then it's still pretty much asking your former employer.
I always kept my private and professional life ruthlessly segregated. My only references were previous co-workers and supervisors. Never once hurt me.
Right up until you have signal loss.
This has what to do with his actions, as described in the two posts above yours?
It's not a zero-sum game. One can do what one can *now* to protect one's self AND work to create the proper safeguards.
Utterly wrong. It provides the patent creator with the possibility of income instead of rip-off. It's not *extra* income, it's income.
"I can type faster than conversation speed as well."
Bullshit. Conversational speed is easily in excess of two hundred words a minute. You do not type two hundred words a minute.
Yes, yes, been around for millennia - doomed to fail. Likewise, Manifest Destiny is new, but it is the cause of capitalism's woes.
Yet "ironically", you fail to argue it, merely assert.

I can use the about:config, but I hate it. Leftover geekism, in my opinion. Have both.
The thing that *really* pisses me off is when they make one and remove the other. What the hell for?
Simply untrue, regardless of how you meant it.
"I bet he liked being a celebrity when he fucked the entire cheerleading squad"
And you demonstrate that you IQ is equal to your age.

"... until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated to account for the existance of Bitcoin."
The laws *were* updated to account for Bitcoin.
BItcoin just isn't happy with they way the laws perceive them.
