Is there anything else except running and gunning? Is there a plot?
From all the videos I have seen, it is so repetitive. You seem to just run into coffee shops, effortlessly gun down civilians, cops spawn, you shoot them, repeat.
I would be bored after about 20 minutes of this. That is the length of time before violence just stops being special. It's like takedown animations in games: At first they are sublime, but after seeing them three times it just becomes annoying delays in the gameplay. Like quicktime events.
Nothing in the field of technology can make something pretty for everyone. For it is so damn subjective.
However in my experience SSD made desktops substantially faster. Like day and night fast. Give that slow box 4 extra gigs of RAM and an SSD and their only complaint will be that it is ugly.
Now pay attention kiddies, for this is why Linux is not on desktop yet. If you want someone to pay attention to you: Make it easier for THEM rather than yourself!
All it takes is a charismatic asshole yelling "follow me!"
You are correct. Charisma is the key.
However, if an asshole got charisma then he has no issues finding a job and getting promoted through the ranks. It is all about who you know and networking after all.
When charismatic are rich, who will lead the poor?
Even if it works perfectly, it is too late. Particularly for the rhinos. I do hope they focus on shark fins before the great whites start entering endangered levels.
Every country has some weird traditions. USA's is electing a clown as president.
I am sure it will not be as bad as most people think. After all president is constrained by the budget set by congress. Neither can a president declare war without their approval. I am sure that if he really starts to act out then impeachment is on the table.
Still, you have to wonder about the voter disillusionment to get such a result.
This is why I buy refurbished, off lease Lenovo computers.
However, that means Lenovo as a company does not get a cent from that sale. Why should they continue making solid-engineered, easily-repaired devices when in the end it hurts them by losing potential customers to refurbishers? This is how planned obsolescence works. I hate it with a passion, but it is hard not to see the reason behind it.
I love my Thinkpad. I could of bought it used off someone, but instead I spent much more money to buy it directly from Lenovo. Just to show my support.
I got into computers because I don't want to be around people.
This used to be true, but no more. The age of solitary developer working in isolation is long gone (If it ever existed at all). Developers need to understand the business requirements, communicate with wide variety of stakeholders from all business levels and work together as a team. Politics, clear verbal and written communication skills, and people-skills are all mandatory requirements for anyone in this industry.
You may find the environment you seek doing open-source development or perhaps (Rarely) some entry-level positions.

Because Slashdot will support unicode at the precisely the same time as Linux will take over desktop: Never.
"that ugly and slow box"

Why? Perhaps that is all that he has and all that he needs.

Now THAT'S a link!

I miss the status bar! This release broke the Status-4-Evar plugin.
Oh well. Lets see how many of us will be here when they turn off the lights.
Indeed. K'breel posts are sorely missed.
Thank you so much for sharing! Sent a donation their way.

It is easy to compute the total cost of ownership for a missile.
How do you even start calculating TCO of a woman? :-)
You are doing adulthood wrong.
More stories like this one please!
Indeed.

Indeed! This is very exciting!
Biotechnology is making some huge strides in the last decade. It is an interesting time to be alive.
Never! My love for you will win out. You will come around. You'll see!
If not, I will break her legs! :-)
No I did not. I do not reside in the US.
Touche.
I honestly did not expect Trump to win. This was quite a surprise.
There is one fact that is consistent with any candidacy: Promises made during elections never get fulfilled.
Sure some of your points will happen, but not all of them.
Have you no pity for the poor female interns?!

WTF is std::vector[bool]?
Don't you mean std::vector<bool>? Or am I missing something? Are booleans really being used as index these days?
Thank you.
