No doubt that porting to PC requires some additional effort to develop and test for various configurations, but it's not that bad, not TWO YEARS TO PORT A FINISHED GAME bad. It just stinks of incompetence, compounded bad decisions (like the video editor, WTF) and possibly a desire to milk as much revenue as possible by releasing the same game three times.
You're really not. On the other hand, an electric motor spinning up makes it sound like I'm in a stinky packed tram or trolleybus, so I definitely prefer the ICE sound.
And that's hardly a secret. Designing a pleasant engine and exhaust sound has been around forever and everyone (appliance manufacturers excluded) is doing it. What is fairly new however is straight up faking it by playing pre-recorded audio through the sound system. At this point I think it's time to give up and admit that you're in a crappy 3-cylinder diesel shitbox that sounds like a tractor.
Yep, and my citation is watching the stream. They did mention "windows as a service" or something like that, which is what got misinterpreted, but it was fairly clearly referring to a whole larger infrastructure with Onedrive and other cloud crap, various mobile devices tying together to provide a comprehensive "service" to the users.
The summary is wrong. What they were saying is that you can upgrade for free during the first year after Win10 release. Then it works as usual, you get automatic updates etc.
>Seems to me that the problem is people wanting to complain over nothing. So what if an album (and it's not like it's something offensive) gets added to your iTunes account as a 'purchased' product?
Excuse me, you do realize we're talking about U2 here? That's not something I'd want my friends or coworkers see in my library.
It's a minor piece of trivia that was certainly not worth posting on slashdot in lieu of another Raymond post, but it's something I would've enjoyed reading when going through his blog. Check it out, there's tons of interesting technical and historical information there.
If you RTFA, you'd see that they referenced ISIS PR videos, so it's not just "oh that looks like it might be training camp" but "these geo features from the videos correspond exactly to this thing here on the map" type of analysis.
Do you really believe the USA governments health agency carries an US citizen into the US if it was not perfectly safe? In what paranoia 1984 world do you live?
Is that the same USA governements health agency that deliberately withheld treatment and information about syphilis from infected patients to see what would happen, or a different one? That was a while ago so probably not. But perhaps it was the one that exposes its scientists to anthrax? Or avian influenza? Or leaves smallpox samples chill in a random warehouse?
Yeah. I don't really dislike superhero movies, but honestly the constant stream of super avenger-men movies made the whole thing kind of boring. It's like when all games were WW2 FPSes, except worse because Nazis are more interesting than comic book villains.
You're welcome! I actually came here expecting the most obvious joke to already be made, but nope. I guess if you really want something, you have to do it yourself:)
Why does everyone assume gull-wing doors are somehow particularly bad at this?
Here's a video of a guy opening one next to some truck or a wall. If it does require any more space than a regular door, it's not significantly so, but I doubt even that is the case. Remember that a door is maybe 10-15 cm thick, so that's the minimum you'll need to have for a single mm of clearance with a regular door, not to mention all the inches for your fat ass.
So they have 800,000 machines all running microscope software? And what's the excuse for still using Exchange 2003? They're using some special x-ray carrier pigeons?

Thanks, captain obvious! :)

yeah it's bullshit that no one should care about.
The real mystery is what the fuck are they doing with the PC version that it takes them two years to port.
Why did you get rid of the projector, then?

The same way it did for Apple - by scrapping the stupid idea in the next version in favor of native apps.

Yeah I've seen that too.

Hey, us corporate fucks have travel budgets to watch, too!
I worked on a PDA-phone hybrid 15 years ago. These things are ugly and useless and expensive and will never take off!
They made the calendar useless. But thankfully you can install it from apk on a KK device if you really want to!

MH17 got shot down by the Russians though?

It's perfectly safe guys, please move along!
Do you like movies about ponies?
Yeah. I don't really dislike superhero movies, but honestly the constant stream of super avenger-men movies made the whole thing kind of boring. It's like when all games were WW2 FPSes, except worse because Nazis are more interesting than comic book villains.

Send Bruce Willis.
He's already trained and isn't doing us any good here on earth anyway.

So what's your arbitrary criteria for actually being a programmer?
Ok, let me shut this shitshow of a discussion down:
It's now officially cool to endorse Hitler because you agree with his views on vegetarianism.
