    ... and yet in others, they work beyond 70 hours and still have more shit to get done than they can do - and every mistake has the potential to end their career and bring forth the lawyers.

    They might try not publicly trading. There's no shareholders to yank your leash around. Don't jump into the pool if you don't want to get wet.

    There's nothing fun about everyone having every weapon and full ammo always. Make the player work for it, otherwise map positioning becomes of little importance.

  6. Re:Blur on Was Watch Dogs For PC Handicapped On Purpose? · · Score: 1

    Some people are claiming that the mod gets rid of "stuttering", but I haven't seen any hard (meaning video) evidence of that.

    If your FPS varies wildly, this is perceived as a stutter. If you chop the peaks off without appreciably changing the rest of it, you'll find a "smoother" experience even if your average rate has gone down.

    If your crosshairs are not fairly sharp, your scope is not adjusted correctly for the distance you're aiming at.

    Some things it makes sense for, such as looking through reticules or other such items that would actually have an appreciably small DoF.

    Still bugs me and I turn it off, though.

    Sure, Javascript enabled allows them to hijack the browser, and take it over, but that doesn't take over the system!

    Bad assumption, as you'll find out one day when a privilege escalation attack you weren't aware of succeeds and they pwn you. Hell, a few years back there was a bug with libpng that would allow that just by the browser rendering the image!

    Just so long as your headlight isn't the strobing brighter-than-the-sun variety with flashing red on the back.

    That shit is unsafely distracting.

  12. Re:Dangerous on Harley-Davidson Unveils Their First Electric Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    What, like your flashy lights that are distracting enough that I've almost hit people BECAUSE OF THEM?

    News flash: flashing red is Not Allowed. Flashing yellow is not allowed unless your vehicle is disabled. Flashing white should be reserved for dangers to other drivers, such as work trucks.
