Precisely. What would our founding fathers, specifically Alexander Hamilton, who wrote at length on this subject, have thought of our powerful central bank?
This is completely a non-issue, the majority of people are on the main builds and you can specify in your program what firmware and hardware it requires so that it doesn't show up for people that can't run it. I'm not too worried about developing for the 3 people running Bub's AOSP Magic "Original" v 0.3.3. Fragmentation is a boogie-man and nothing more.
I can think of worse things to happen to gaming, but not many. Until the Internet is as reliable and widespread as electricity there isn't much chance of this happening and working.
I'm surprised there isn't a press release telling us Kim Jong-Il programmed the majority of the OS himself in his spare time, it is the type of thing the Glorious Leader usually does.
The industry doesn't like to change and switching a system that has worked for years is a big process. In a big organization the decision making process for a change of this scale can take years.
Also many places are so technically illiterate that something like this is akin to magic.
It really depends on the system, the problem and the people involved. The system we run where I work has changes put into it in production daily with turnaround times anywhere from an hour to several weeks depending on the change. We have some customers where a fix can be worked on and implemented over the course of weeks due to testing and they have no problem with that and we have customers that expect things to be fixed later today.
The real question to ask yourself and your team is is it reasonable in your product or system to be able to turnaround something that fast?
I use the cordless version and it is far and away the best mouse I've ever used. Having a cordless mouse that you can use anywhere regardless of surface is so nice. I recently ordered several more online for my other computers and I can't be happier. It would be nice to see stores actually offer them again, I never see the cordless version for sale offline at all.
I also dislike this game a great deal.
The combat system drives me nuts, keeping your characters alive in a fight is a chore in itself as they go about using their gambits. In any real fight you have to control everybody individually anyways, simple making the change in the combat system pointless.
Licenses are another huge problem for me. The beauty of a system like that is being able to customize your character exactly how you want them to work and not having to waste too much LP on extra skills. The reason this doesn't work in FFXII is that the license board doesn't give you any information about the abilities you can gain unless you have a square directly next to the ability already filled. It's like your given a map with no labels and told to drive to some random town, you can see the roads, you can see the towns, but you don't know which one is the one you actually want until you are right up near it.
I honestly do like the story so far in the game, and that's what has gotten me to play it as long as I have, but the combat and skill system is just to much for me anymore.
I believe what he's saying is that "municipal broadband" would potentially hurt the telcos, thus it seems strange that they'd be pushing something that would help create it.
What's wrong with this article is that the laws can only apply to artificial intelligence, and highly aware artificial intelligence at that. Robots as we have these days don't even come close to having that so it doesn't much matter if they ignore Asimov's laws.
What's wrong with the comments are the people all dismissing the laws. Someday it's entirely possible we will have highly aware artificial intelligence, and these are the first strong steps towards developing the basic morals and ethics we want the AI to include. Just because he's a science fiction author doesn't mean his ideas are entirely invalid.
I'm glad that people in my area of Wisconsin are apparently smarter then that, Russ Feingold keeps getting elected and he was the only senator to vote against the original and continues to vote against it. He's virtually the only politician that truly seems to care about the people's well being and his principles.
I read through the bill at the link provided, it's not that bad. My only problem is that they should define what the criteria for this is better, are they following the ESRB rating exclusively or are there other determining factors for what might be sexually-explicit or ultra-violent? It would seem to me the best choice would be to follow the ESRB ratings strictly, that's something you can cut and dry enforce, otherwise people selling these games can't make good decisions about whether they should sell a game or not.
They were talking about something similar here in Wisconsin several months ago, and I would fully support it, nothing wrong with saying a 10 year old shouldn't be able to buy games meant for 17-18+ year olds as long as there is strict criteria the seller can follow.
Now if we could just devise a good way for a Do Not E-Mail list to work things would be great!
Though I guess as always we could just go the Russian route
And of course all the big companies will scramble to comply with this so they can make all that extra money instead of trying to stand up against such a thing. Sadly most big companies are probably in favor of this.
How do you think it affects a byte's self esteem to be deemed the least significant? From now on it should be referred to as the EBI, End Byte of Importance. MSB should then be reffered to as IBI, Initial Byte of Importance, this way self esteem inssues in our bytes can be avoided.

Gamergate was degenerated from the beginning, there was no helping that one.

We need more like the ones from this gal named Abby Normal.

Well were talking about his goldenrod
Worst videogame NAMES, several of the games on the list are pretty good, but have goofy or bad NAMES.
Wow, it's a Navi, nice.

But it will lead to sexy cyborg bodies, so rock on!

We all know Archimedes was just Nikolai Tesla using his time machine so he could go back and test his magnificent death ray.
Demigods huh, where do I sign up for this lucrative and no doubt enjoyable lifestyle?
