Sort of like Fidelity National Information Services, a company no one has heard of. Yet they've got their hands in everything financial and know everything about you regarding your money.
I've had pretty much all of those things happen with AMZL delivery. I have my street number posted in FOUR places around my corner lot and they still manage to screw things up regularly. I don't have much faith in Amazon competing with existing carriers. Not with the caliber of their current drivers.
Police beat and kill people (and pets) on a regular bases and hell has yet to be paid. Why would anything change when they start wrecking vehicles, electronics and pacemakers?
Exactly right. Based on numbers provided by Steam, DirectX10 is currently the majority of what players hardware supports. So guess what developers are targetting? Sure some AAA studios are going all out but a lot of the smaller developers are still putting out DirectX9 games.
Of course the NSA sees everything regardless of privacy settings. So unless you trust the US government, it's probably best not to post anything that would be interpreted [by a moron] as a threat.
How Did You Learn How To Program?...I never stopped learning!
I started on a TRS-80. But I too give thanks to my real beginnings to QBASIC. Instead of my dad, it was my older brother that introduced me to it. He eventually gave up programming and became an outdoors man. I on the other hand have been coding for the past 20'ish years:)
It will happen eventually. And then we'll have to hear the whole debate all over again. All the while hundreds of people will die in a war that most Americans have forgotten is taking place.
I'm wondering if this will shutdown the sale of used games on ebay and the like. That would be shame if so. Pretty much every game and console I buy eventually gets resold (they are mine so I ought to be able to sell them) to someone who will get use out of them after I've had my fill.
The upgrade dragon isn't as bad as it used to be. A lot of gaming tech has plateaued in the past few years. Buy/build any decent PC these days and you're good to go for some years.
This is interesting from a developer standpoint as well. This means we are wasting processing time rendering frames and are only displayed for a handful of milliseconds. These frames could be dropped entirely and that processing time could go to use elsewhere.
Thanks for posting that. I've been looking for a replacement to my HTC G2 but have yet to find a T-Mobile phone with an acceptable keyboard. I don't know why phone manufactures mess with the standard keyboard layout so much. Trying to code on the G2 (even just HTML) is a nightmare (it doesn't even have..yet they include a www. key???). The Relay's keyboard looks great. I think it's the only T-Mobile phone to have 5 rows since the long dead HTC G1.
My only concern with the Relay is that it's made by Samsung. It seems like all I ever see in Play Store reviews is how various apps crash on Samsung devices. I can't say I'm too confident in the brand.

If I recall correctly, Clinton disabled the lower-accuracy for non-military. Possibly because civilian devices were being used by troops.
Also the US is currently deploying satellites for it's own next generation GPS system with higher accuracy than anything out there.

Either way, he now has an arrest record for the rest of his life.

Not to mention a person in a public street has no legal expectation of privacy.
"a business where a lot of WP8 users are"
Good luck finding one of those!
And cops never screw up!

That said, I agree with you. The problem isn't the devices. It's that stupid people use them irresponsibly. We should ban stupid people from driving.

LOL My kingdom for mod points!
"Besides, the whole rant is based on the assumption that most women disapprove of having scantily clad women running around.."
THIS!!
Women are beautiful. Men like looking at them. Women like looking at them. Who is complaining?
I believe most shops these days make their money doing repair and virus removal. With the occasional upsale.

I was disappointed by this as well. It's more like a replica of a replica. I was hoping they made something more detailed.
You guys get to look out windows?
Why wait for a tree to grow it when you can just print the stuff?

They simply merged it. There is no longer a DirectX SDK to go along with a Windows SDK. It's all just Windows SDK.
That said, the market hasn't even caught up with DirectX11 yet.
They took it down for a day or two after launch.
I guess EA convinced them to put it back up though.

Where I work, you would be on a final notice. That means being one cold away from termination.
