    Why shouldn't they code for PC instead?

    Guess the Wii U have specialized hardware but rather release such hardware for the PC too then.

    I guess not all of them is all that well-known.

    But also US is a country where more of their goods is sold inside the country / their own market than what is the case over in Europe.

    Here in Sweden for instance exports is a big thing, and trade with the EU, US and of course Asia too.

    BeyerDynamic of course is German.

    Damn a lot of German brands and equipment in these lifts. I don't really know what the others may be (partly because I live in Sweden and Germany is closer I guess but also because it's the #1 economy of EU and fourth in the world (after US, China and Japan.)

  9. What Apple .. do.. app quality. on Is the App Store Broken? · · Score: 1

    On Steam there's the Greenlit section.

    Only vote for what you want, don't vote for the rest.

    However it's abused by developers and bundle makers in that the developers may for instance run a contest where you're supposed to vote it up to be part of it or the bundle makers promising Steam keys if the game is greenlit.

    Hence you get votes for shit.

    If it was more restrictive and shit wasn't let it that might had been a good thing.

    Alternative is to put badges on all the titles where you put gold badges on actually good products played by many, silver on other good/decent products and nothing on the rest or something such.

    Don't expect the hate to end just because you remove peoples chance to vent their opinion.

    I think it should be there and allowed simply because it's opinion and people talking to each other and yeah. Tough like if you don't like them.

  21. Re:Outstanding... on "Magic Helmet" For F-35 Ready For Delivery · · Score: 1

    What I mean is that the plane isn't even in service yet.

    Lots of people say it's shit but I have no idea how much they know about military hardware and the plane and how it has been with other planes and what not.

    I know there's at least some video on YouTube from at least someone who supposedly should know their shit which say it's bad too but I don't know whatever that's correct or not.

    Here in Sweden people made a lot of fun of the JAS-39 since it crashed in Stockholm during and exhibition and there was shirts saying it was the worlds most expensive rooter (rotary cultivator), maybe it have still been expensive but today it seem like enough other countries consider it a good plane at at least more countries are interested in it now when back then (which may seem illogical since then may have been closer to 20 years back.)

    I guess chances are the F-35 is a better plane 2020 and maybe in 2040 people will be as comfortable with it as the current planes now.
