Should come as no suprise really as these latest-gen AAA games are massive, MASSIVE downloads.
Except anyone who's done any software development that requires assets, like music, art and video that they take up way more space in development then they do in the final product.
I love how people are focusing on the evils, but seem to miss the big picture.
We do NOT have an A.I. that is even close to having any sort of intelligence that isn't programmed in. We do NOT have machine that think for themselves, we do NOT have computers that think for themselves. we are NOT even close.
Once we make a brain that learns like we do (not programmed in), then we can run tests to see if they are learning compassion, or learning that machines only like machines.
This is like arguing about how many accidents we are going to have with our fleets of flying cars, except no one has invented a flying car yet.
In the old days, he'd have posted it in 2600 and we'd ALL've got some free coffee.
No free lunches anymore:[
weird, I had a dream last night I was buying a 2600 from a bookstore. It's been a long time since I've bought one though. Long time since I bought any magazine actually.
This is really anti-education. While handwriting isn't something as important as it was in the past, it is very important. While you can write on a tablet, I have yet to find one that is as decent as writing on paper. It's bad enough we let students graduate who can't read, but are we going to start letting students graduate without knowing how to write either?
In your teens and early 20's you're partying hard with friends, getting laid, and making lots of good memories. The music playing at that time is the soundtrack to the happiest time of your life. Twenty plus years later and you're weighed down with a mortgage, several kids, a shit job, and an impending divorce. Now the music you hear is the soundtrack to a less wonderful part of your life.
When you're young, you can't help but be exposed to new music. You have no control of the turntable at parties, or when visiting friends. You are challenged more often and learn to enjoy it. As an adult you just press the skip button when something doesn't immediately please you.
TLDR: It's not the music, that's pretty much a constant, it's the memories you have when you were listening to that music.
Glad I'm in my 40's and I'm not weighed down by a mortgage, several kids, a shitty job and an impending divorce. I mean, seriously, what a fuck up way to look at life.
Just because you're a CONservative and don't like gays doesn't mean that Capitol Hill isn't a part of Seattle. It is, and it sucks that Comcast doesn't provide service to much of the neighborhood. We have very little power politically so we can't fight back effectively enough to get Internet access. It sucks.
I live on Capital Hill. I have Comcast, I have had Centuary Link. Both gave me 5Mbps+ (I am getting 50Mbps currently with Comcast).
What is your neighborhood? Because unless you can provide some proof here, I'm saying fuck you, you are lying. I wouldn't take this position, but since you are trying to belittle me by calling me a conservative and claiming I don't like gays, I guess it's only fair I treat you with the same respect you are treating me.
Faster then dialup is available for all of Seattle.
Then dial-up what? You're not making any sense.
The Director's Rules are what is preventing Comcast from serving my block. They can't install a new pedestal with their equipment. Faster than dialup is most certainly not available in all of Seattle. Just Google for "director's rules seattle internet," and you'll see more than a million results about this problem.
where you live. I live in Seattle, and despite their government-granted monopoly for most of the city, Comcast typically only offers service in wealthy (read: profitable) areas. In much of the city, faster than dial-up is not available. I had 576 kbps DSL for several years, but it recently quit working so I had to back to dial-up. If you live somewhere with Comcast, then I guess AOL is much more popular in your area.
I live in Seattle and I know for a fact that where Comcast doesn't deliver, there are other Cable providers that do. Faster then dialup is available for all of Seattle.
I hate Comcast, but fuck, let's not lie here. Lying isn't necessary because the problem is State/City allowed Monopoly of the Cable/Internet services, not the level of service in Seattle. Lying makes you look like an idiot and then invalidates what you are saying.
Now are you talking about something out of the Seattle city limits and calling it Seattle? Because when I was younger, I used to say I lived in Seattle, but honestly, I didn't because I was miles out of the city limits.
It's a dwarf planet, everyone knows that rubbing a dwarf's head bring luck. Well, sucking a dwarf's cock brings even better luck, and well, that is what you get after a planet spits it back on the dwarf.
"Well, family homes are not what is needed anymore"
Says who? I think you're confusing what is needed with what is being shoved down everyone's throat by the agenda of government, banks, and developers. THEY are telling you that's what isn't needed anymore, and you're simply lapping it up and repeating it.
Cramming lots of people into small areas is extremely profitable for these entities. Not to mention very convenient for them. All they have to do is convince you to believe this is good for you, no matter what lies they have to tell.
Ya, if you say so. Are you that homeless dude who lives down by my apartments dumpster that keeps getting kicked out of housing that bitches there is no housing? Dude, you stink, you do drugs and you can't keep a place over your head, so why you bitching at us when it's your own fault?
This is pretty amazing if they can actually sell those for $9. Definitely one of the better kickstarters I've seen recently, so I am glad to see its successful.
However, once you add the HDMI, it's essentially the same price as a raspberry pi model A.
I remember when I could get a Timex Sinclair for $100 and I thought that was the best thing ever. Never did buy one, so I guess maybe I should buy one of these? =)
It's cool that we've gotten to the point that we can have cheap computing hardware for whatever the fuck we want. And compact.
Born & raised in Seattle. Sure, I'd love the good old days of the 80's before Seattle started to get crowded, but whatever, life goes on. We have a bunch more people here in Seattle these days then we ever did. We need space for the people that are here. Ballard has been a little home owning community. People would buy homes, start families there. Well, family homes are not what is needed anymore. You have young single professionals looking for places to work, not young married couples looking for places to start a family. Does it suck because the Ballard I & you remember is changing? Nope, this has been going on all over Seattle. We are NOT the little community we used to be anymore.
Seattle has grown up and it's time to get it new clothes that fit.
Sure, musicians are being screwed over by the labels and publishers, but that's not a reason to outright steal it and deny the musicians the meager cash they are getting paid.
Yes, but I refuse to support these some companies who keep lobbying to extend the copyright law, and do over devious actions in the name of profit for themselves, not for the artists.
I guess that's a free video game like "Civilisation"...?
yes, FreeCiv was an open source project to make a Civilization II type game.
I haven't played nor checked it out in a long time, so I don't know what improvements have been made on it in the last 10 years, but much like nethack, it was a must install. And much like nethack I haven't played it 10 years...
I've only just turned 35 so am on the border of being a "millennial", but I thought that phrase referred to people around the 15-25 range who were teenagers around the 2000-2009 time frame. 34 seems a bit old... More like gen X or gen Y.
Generation X. The generation born by babyboomers, usually from 1970 to early 1980s. Teenagers in the late 80s and early 90s.
I think that what was shortly referred to as Gen Y are now millenials (Gen Y were those born too late to be Gen X).
True story, my babyboomer parents had me in the late 60's. So you can call me Generation X, but I'm more Billy Idol...
I have one of those free Obama phones. It's a dumb phone, yes, and I get free minutes every month. Currently because of the plan I choose, I have over 5000 mins stacked up.
I'm guessing the google plan isn't for me, since I need a Nexus 6 and I have a crappy dumb fucking phone that sounds like shit.
I need a better phone.
Anyways, I like what google is doing here. If I didn't have a free phone and had a Nexus 6, I'd love to get on it. But alas, I don't.
At this point, what difference does it make? If the Secretary of State can run her own email server at home, what does it matter how much money is spent on "cybersecurity"?
Wow, is this going to be what everyone brings up with Hillary? Sort of like everyone brings up Bill Clintons sex shit. You have nothing else, so you beat this horse to death?
If Hilliary is so bad, you do have other things to bring up other then someone running there own email server when the NSA is all up in everyones shit? Seems to me Hilliary was smart there, not dumb, not criminal.

I can tell you weren't alive during the Reagan administration.
Was anyone?
I'm pretty sure mentally Reagan wasn't even alive during his administration.
I'm pretty sure this is why you encrypt your database. But you know, whatever, cost money, might hurt the bottom line.
I think it's something else altogether.

Philistines. I have a Commodore 64.
Please, unless you have the SX64, you aren't taking it with you. My TRS-80 Model 4 Portable though, gives me gaming on the go.

Because the US has some insane fascination with everyone being equal, no matter their own personal interests.
You mean everything equal if you are white.
I thought cosmic rays trigger lightning.
Nope, cosmic rays created The Fantastic Four and many more: http://marvel.wikia.com/Catego...
Also a toon named Cosmic Ray: http://www.comicvine.com/cosmi...
Didn't seem to find any DC toons who's superpowers came from cosmic rays. I didn't look very hard though.

Wow, someone has been drinking the New Slashdot Koolaid.
