Has anyone notice performance degradation in 3.5? Opening a slew of bookmarked pages into tabs tends to make it feel like my internet connection has slowed down. Yet when all the tabs load, they all respond snappily.
And sometimes certain sites act sluggish when opening the same exact site works fine in Safari.
If utilising your imagination leads to automatic loss of all of your self esteem, perhaps you need more self esteem.
My point is that if a work of entertainment requires me to imagine myself to be insultingly dumb without a good explanation then immersion simply fails.
I'm not saying you can't have a plot device to fill in the gaps or a universe that has fantastical things, but if we have a setting that requires me to forget the laws of universe without some crutch (either magic or sci-fi) then I'm not going to follow the story.
Which is why it is easier for me to follow Harry Potter than it is to say follow Speed or your average action flick.
One could mark a legitimate business' unsolicited email as spam, but that doesn't mean that purchasing a product because of the material in one of those emails is newsworthy.
Unsolicited email from a legitimate business is SPAM too. Just a less evil spam with an opt out function that works.
Though sometimes its easier to just not even do that and block those messages just in case that opt out is a trick to see if your email is alive or not.
But yeah unsolicited email, no matter who it is from, is by definition is spam.
Since when is EVE a shining example of a MMO UI? EVO works (for some people) very much *despite* the cluttered, poorly laid out, typographically flawed UI.
You need a wide screen monitor with a resolution of 1650x1080 to really not feel cramped in EVE.
But if you got one of those then its not too shabby.
Near? As near as maybe microbes on Mars or Europa?
Perhaps you mean intelligent aliens?
Discounting all alien life near us discounts even the simplest forms which of course as we've seen tend to be possible in the most hostile places on earth and so therefore quite probable on near bodies in our solar system.
Uh, I don't follow you. For a large company good control of deletions is mandatory, but how that makes this a non-issue escapes me. Does gmail provide for guaranteed deletion?
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure litigation has the upper hand here.
Using a well regulated email deletion system to avoid getting a subpoena can be contempt of court if that was your intention. Of course they have to prove that was your intention.
Of course they have to prove you are malicious rather than just a cheapskate who didn't want to make backups.
So we have a router that does stateful packet inspection and prioritizes traffic based on internal rules. Aren't we supposed to be against this?
I dunno. If the router is designed to look at packet flow rather than the contents of said packets or its source and destination, then you have still can have net neutrality.
IBM on the other hand brought an OPEN system to businesses along with the IBM name, people introduced to the computer at work then bought the same for home use.
Hahahahahaha.
Little do you know of history of IBM.
IBM tried to proprietize the IBM PC with MCA bus back in 1988.
It failed even though it was technically superior to ISA and VESA mostly because it locked out 3rd party hardware vendors.
Serious question. Do you have any imagination? If I say imagine you're a trogladite in a territory war, what did you have for breakfast? Can you tell me the story or are you lost in a see of "why?" and "WTF are you on about?".
I don't know about OP, but I have found myself putting down games simply because I did not agree with the premise of the character's motives.
If the trogladite was doing behaving in a way not fitting with my personality or in ways that I could not relate (like constantly having to do things that I would consider retarded) I would loose interest very quickly.
Which is why I liked the Fallout series simply because it gave me this freedom. I could of course did things I would have considered retarded but the game didn't force me to play that way and I would have to have personal motivation for my choices.
My GPS is good at reading a map, but it's a complete moron when it comes to actual local knowledge.
Personally, if I'm traveling to a new location I will often use Google street view along with GPS to see what the destination looks like simply to confirm that the GPS isn't off the wall or sending me into a bad spot of town.
People like you drive me nutters. The human brain has billions of years of evolutionary programming built into the seperate layers of the brain, there are so many built in functions that we don't even realize it in normal everyday activities. For example, your brain is "hardwired" from birth to recognize human faces,
I'm not sure why people modded you insightful because the the GP was more right. The human brain doesn't store information of what a human face looks like, but rather the information to recognize what a human face looks like.
On a side note, I'm one of those people with a condition that everyone looks familiar or looks like someone I know. Evolution be damned, I just have to deal with it but its not life threatening. I won't be able to remember your name at a party because you look like someone else I know or at least I think so.
Its not knowledge as much as it is lack of programming... Just saying.
Why do we need to adjust our lives to that? Whats wrong with driving hummers or big vehicles? If people can afford it, then let them.
There is nothing wrong except that eventually no one can afford to drive them without alternative energies.
If gas ever hit $5 or $10 a gallon, even the very wealthy will most likely move into cities and use public transportation. Hell they can afford a nice city home and they know how not to waste their money. Its why they are rich in the first place.
The people who took out loans they could not afford to drive the Hummers on the other hand...
Before you get your science kits together to make it rich there are three caveats.
One... It requires a nuclear reactor. Two... It products only a few atoms of gold far less than the cost of energy to make. Three... The Gold is radioactive.
But if you got a nuclear reactor and plenty of urianium and mercury to burn, go right ahead.
"I didn't cancel it," Pickens said after a press conference on Capitol Hill. "Financing is tough right now and so it's going to be delayed a year or two."
Here's a crazy idea: how about nuclear power? Oh, that's right, the word "nuclear" is too super-scary for the science-based environmentalists. Never mind that they actually are better for the environment than anything else.
Have you seen a nuclear power plant at night?
Personally I like them, but in the same kind of way I like Fallout 3.
I'm not sure about the neighbors who can see the thing from 10 miles away.

It wasn't like this in 3.01

Clients are over expecting.
Salespersons are over promising.
Developers are over outsourcing.
It's called suspension of disbelief, and there are times when it's a good thing.
If I, the player, have to actively suspend belief at the expense of my self esteem, the entertainment has failed.
Yes, because we all know that every locale has magic electricity faeries just waiting to produce low-carbon-footprint electricity.
Its called solar power on rooftops that were manufactured using power with nuclear energy.

I stare at a spreadsheet all day. Then I go home, boot up EVE and stare at a spreadsheet.
(In his best melodramatic voice)
Spreadsheets in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!

My mother lives in the country.
Your mother is neither "most people" or "most people who are gamers".
Unless she is some little old lady who happens to be hardcore FPS player screaming "Boom! Headshot!"
When was the last LAN party you went to?
Hrm... Come to think of it, I haven't been to a LAN party since 2002? Then came the career, girlfriend, family...
Wait a minute, this is a trick to make me feel old isn't it?!

and the ability to run apps outside of the browser.
Sounds like a virus?
...how pilots experienced in the area and are still alive know that these downdrafts can rip the wings off an airplane?
Experienced pilots experienced the phenomena by experiencing the event from a safe distance because they were experienced.
The fact is, most people who are concerned enough about these issues to look at them are, actually, educated about them.
When you are on the wrong end of a jury... Just remember these are the people too stupid to find an excuse to get out of it.

Not to say IBM tried the same thing as Appple ;)
Now, be honest. How many of us had our first computer experience with MS-DOS or Windows 3.1?
Whaddaya mean "we"? I was using IBM PC DOS on a PC jr in 1985.
Yeah well it was technically cross licensed, but no where did it mention Microsoft ;)

Well which did GM go bankrupt?
They're also working to develop a process that allows the transformation of gold into lead.
Actually, not to surprise bubble... But It has been done via nuclear transmutation in labs since the 1970s.
Before you get your science kits together to make it rich there are three caveats.
One... It requires a nuclear reactor.
Two... It products only a few atoms of gold far less than the cost of energy to make.
Three... The Gold is radioactive.
