Yeah, and Valve could be better regarding that specific scenario. It actually is a weakness they face specifically compared to their competition with consoles. The entire game list acts like what is licensed, not the individual game. In Europe, they're putting (or have put?) a game lending/reselling function that sort of works.
You idiot, my definition of rape is quite clear, from the top of the thread "non-consensual sexual activity". I'm sorry you've bought into the myth that rapes are mostly perpetuated by homeless people hiding in the bushes or whatever kind of story is in your head, but that's not how reality is.
See, but the way game controls are actually created, the dpad is for slow, methodical, or long-term tactical functions, and buttons are for "twitch" actions, like throwing a grenade or switching weapons or melee or whatever(note that none of these combine with requirements for precise looking that the right joystick is usually bound to).
No, I refuse to mod up. It's not trolling, but it lacks a meaningful insight. Steam approaches the DRM question from a different direction by detaching game ownership from physical devices entirely.
When you buy a disk, and have an install limit, or an offline game, with an always online requirement, it turns the thing you think you have into something less valuable, and uses a legal fiction to justify it. Steam gives you a person license that you can use as part of an account independent of the machine on which its installed, with some flexibility regarding internet access and physical media. It's a license that actually acts like a license, you can use it freely, yourself. It treats the underlying legal fiction as actually representative of usage, rather than an excuse to limit you.
I don't mind the trackpads, they could be alright. Maybe. But the fact that they expect you to alternately press buttons with either hand makes me feel like it could be hard to simultaneously move and act in a game.(This must be how lefties feel all the time)
Touchscreens are a big enough step down from mouse and keyboard for getting utility out of computers. Can we just skip all the steps until AI conversation/mind reading? Thanks.
"Chemical industry" isn't a thing that exists, is it? Most of these are from agricultural run-off, aren't they? The article certainly seems to suggest that. What you're really hating is modern farming practices.
It could also be argued that java has no place in browsers given the modern flexibility of javascript. The UI features are worse, the performance differences are negligible, legit code is sandboxed either way. All you're left with as an advantage for true java is threading.
It seems wrong, because it reflects a fundamental lack of concern for what securities represent. It is another step on the road of investment being more valuable than insight, labor, or creating meaningful value.
The underlying purpose of the stock market is the valuation of companies and what they do, but we see more and more evidence that the metadata outweighing the data. It's a subtle incrimination of corporate capitalism, that those involved really don't want to acknowledge.
To be told that something works by an academic is nice, but it is hardly satisfying. Without the data, rigor, or representation, we have no pragmatic way to see how useful this actually is.
But, see, how else is google going to push their unwanted social network on us(besides bugging you every time you watch a youtube video, modifying your search results to promote google+ results, emailing all gmail users, and never shutting up about it)?

Lots of stuff is degrading, but come on now, rape requires force, in the mechanical sense.
This is a thing a lot of rapists say. "Oh, sure, she said no, but she didn't fight back."
Yes, but as a degrading, non-consensual, sexual thing it seems like a convenient shorthand for the category of harm being done.

Not all rape has any of those, and in fact most rapes don't. Rape doesn't have to be violent to be terribly degrading.
And blackmail into sexual activities is rape, even if it doesn't meet the legal definition. Seems like it would violate a person in all the same ways.

As long as we ignore the success kickstarter has had with fans helping to produce actually good games.
Not to worry, there's plenty of awesome and incredible kids programming that far exceeds that of my youth on today. Not on Disney, though.
So, regardless, the main point of any article with anonymous or off-the-record interviews is that red bull sucks?

Ultraviolet, the real chemical buster of our sun's output has substantially better penetrating power than visible light.

The most advanced you've played has no bearing on the most advanced you can play. WebGL is fine.

Except HFT is causing bigger spikes on stock prices, helping the speculators and hurting the investors who decide to get in or out at the wrong time.

Getting money from a different source that leads to a more open development process=excessive greed?
Sometimes you should explain your opinions.
Well, nevermind, that completely invalidates my post earlier. Slashdot needs a "Sorry, I was wrong" button, if not an edit button.

Yes, because when I have insider information, I act with only milliseconds of warning compared to the public.
If someone talked, why would they need to wait until 2? They could "speculate" ahead of the curve.
