No, the data updates once per turn. Things like animations (not sure that freeciv uses any) and moving the map around for a different view can happen many times in the interium, and of course as you send it all the commands each turn for what to do, loading UI displays and such, all of that is running at 8fps too.
It will be by the end of the year, the new look isn't much different than IE7 as far as I've seen, and it comes with the most popular OS on the planet. Dropping support for IE8 is a most idiotic thing to do, regardless of how shitty it is.
But they didn't say it doesn't work, and the alternative method means you can use IE8 to try it. The did however say that Opera doesn't work.
Since more and more things are going to use Canvas it doesn't matter how IE8 gets supported, just that it does since its the most common browser out there, and how it performs in those cases.
Neither me nor any other normal user give a fuck about how it works in this particular case, just how well it works. This sort of additude is so typical of douchebags like yourself.... OMG IE DOESN'T SUPPORT SOME ALMOST-STANDARD SO YOU HAVE TO IGNORE IT EVEN THOUGH MOST WEBSITES WORK THEIR ASS OFF TO HACK TOGETHER SOMETHING TO MAKE IT WORK!!!!!
You don't rule it out just because it doesn't do something the way you want it too. You're an idiot if you write IE as a web developer, unless you intentionally want to cut your potential audience to less than half from the very start.
I did read the article first, thanks. Either way, your post reeks of someone entirely disconnected from the real world of what gets used on the web, and I'm positive that you're not a web developer, at least not one thats worth a shit.
Wow, really just WOW. I don't know what to say at that comparison. I don't care if it uses some feature thats slow as balls in IE8 for a very good reason, thats still completely unacceptable.
I wonder how MS's online office stuffs benchmark in IE8 compared to other browsers.
Its not a federal law in the US, but I know certain states require you to give help in life threatening situations if you are capable of doing so.
CPR is a perfect example. In Florida for instance, if someone dies in front of you and CPR had a good chance of saving them, don't let anyone find out you are CPR certified (which every highschool student is at some point) as you will be punished.
I really don't have a problem with it. Too many people will stand by and watch someone die or get mugged and do nothing to help, not even bother to call the cops, but they'll take pictures on their phones. And yes, I've seen that happen, I have pictures! Mind you, my friend was calling the cops while I was snapping pictures of it.
On that same note, let something happen to one of my loved ones while you stand by and watch and you better prey to whatever god you worship that I don't find out. I have no problem with revenge against useless fucks too lazy to do anything to help others. No, I don't expect an unarmed person to go after some guy with a knife or gun, but I do expect an appropriate response such as calling for help or calling a doctor. Not everybody is a hero, but everyone SHOULD be a responsible citizen.
Its illegal, you are not supposed to do it, but kids do, and the process of not getting caught often means they take precautions that break them into drinking slowly rather than going all out instantly.
Basically, if you do it and don't get caught, no one really cares, so you learn quickly to be careful and consider your actions, even when drinking, or you get punished and learn that way.
Personally, I think we need to flip flop the drinking age with the driving age. I'd much rather kids get over their first legal drinking binges BEFORE they get the right to drive a car.
I'd much rather they get falling down drunk and learn how out of control they can be BEFORE they start driving. Its far better to fall on your face drunk and pass out in the front yard of your parents house or sleep hugging the garbage outside (don't ask, it was one hell of a party) than it is to put your head through a windshield because you hit a minivan with a mother and her 2 kids and unborn baby.
Like it or not, appearance are an indication about the person. It may not always be right, but its right more often than not, which is why we evolved naturally to be able to detect things based on looks.
You CAN tell with a high degree of certain by looking at people that they are sexually deviant for instance. You can bitch, moan, talk about how bad it is, or anything else all you want, but if you think its not true you are either entirely ignorant or lying to yourself, either one is just as bad.
Should you convict him based on the way he looks? Of course not, but there is a reason we notice such patterns, denying it is just stupid.
I'm for banning flat chests, I like the titties. It should be a law that all women of sexual maturity have tits at least big enough to fill my mouth or hand.
Considering DNS servers are generally close to the user outside of the geek circle who has a relatively small group of people that use non-local servers its not really an issue.
My DNS server is less than 20 feet away from this machine, and they share the same address as far as the Internet is concerned.
Likewise, my ISP's name server is 1 hop away, and directly between me and the rest of the Internet, so once again, using my providers DNS server IP for geolocation is as good as using my IP for geolocation, the result should always be EXACTLY the same.
Their going to reduce the data used by their DNS server by adding more data to each request they get? Somehow I think you and I have different ideas about what 'reduce' means.
Alternatively they could introduce a different extension that gave the client an option of determine which IP to connect to based on location.
The information can flow both ways if we're going to change the protocol. Instead of giving information to Google, Google could give the information to you (or your upstream server).
Probably less efficient, but theres no real specific reason it has to go either particular reason.
If you're that afraid of your government, you should probably work on fixing it more than hiding from it. That IS your responsibility as a citizen and a human being.
I'm so sick of 'the government is evil so I'm going to go hide from it instead of do something about it!'
The proposal is that your ISP's resolver will pass your approximate IP address when doing DNS a request on your behalf so that you can be sent to a close-by server for your actual TCP connection.
Of course, since people tend to use DNS servers close to them, that is almost as good as the ip of the actual client.
How many times did you get your ass kicked when you were a child for arguing the difference between affect and effect with people who didn't give a fuck?
Yea, different companies that have the same owner. Just because they play some corporate legal sheltering doesn't make them any less of the same company for all practical purposes.
The most important fact is that no one actually gives a shit about your phone calls so even if they could listen to every word any time they wanted to, it still wouldn't matter. The sooner you realize you aren't that special, the sooner your paranoia will go away.
Okay, so with the right technology in the hands of the hacker, my cell phone has the same security as the old POTS line running into my house.
Pardon me if I don't freak out about it. For years all I've needed was a handset and a knife and I could listen in on peoples phone calls. This is still harder than that.
Sorry if I'm not concerned about something thats not ever been a problem for me or anyone I've ever known even though it has been trivial to do.
Yes yes, its wireless and its easier to hide, but guess what, once again I have to point out... NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, YOU AREN'T THAT SPECIAL.
I don't use a unix desktop anymore, but I swear I was doing this at least 10 years ago in FreeBSD myself. FreeBSD desktops at the time were a ways behind Linux (waiting for porting to FBSD), so I can't imagine its been less than 6 years. I know I was using 4.0-CURRENT, 5.0 hadn't branched yet, so thats at least 7 on WMs that had been ported to FBSD.
I'd say its probably closer to 10 if my memory serves me (it probably doesn't), this is definitely not something new.
I'm sorry to break it too you, but I can tell every god damn time I talk to someone on VoIP if the call has any length to it at all. I've got to the point where if you call me from a VoIP line and I realize it, I'll hang up and block your number. Keep your shitty cheap ass phone service to yourself. If you can't afford to make a phone call, don't make it, at least not to me.

Its actually rather sensible.

This is true for 99.99% of the world.
Well, if this was Southpark you'd just say ...
TIMMAH!!

You realize MasterCard and Visa are really one and the same ... right?
Okay, you're paranoid. And delusional.

You can do what he says he's got and what he's asking for in OS X 10.5 or newer. I don't really see the point of duping the menubar though.
Of course, as has already been stated, you can do it in X with a proper setup or in Windows as well.
God, no sane person uses cygwin.
Putty and MingX is the way to go.
Cygwin is just a horrible horrible excuse for a collection of ports.

VoIP service sucks everywhere.
I'm sorry to break it too you, but I can tell every god damn time I talk to someone on VoIP if the call has any length to it at all. I've got to the point where if you call me from a VoIP line and I realize it, I'll hang up and block your number. Keep your shitty cheap ass phone service to yourself. If you can't afford to make a phone call, don't make it, at least not to me.
Current VoIP offerings suck ass, cheap or not.
