See Baldur's Gate. You have a maximum number of slots, and a maximum weight. If you go a little over the weight, then you slow down. If you go a lot over, you can't move.
Suing your own company for a perceived lack of compensation is the best way to build resentment and to nail the coffin shut on your future with that, or any other, company.
While I agree, if the company you are working for isn't paying you what they are supposed to be, then that's another thing entirely.
while we think working 15 hour days is ridiculous, let's keep in mind that a lot of people in China pray for any employment... remember that China's population is measured in BILLIONS- there's just not enough work to go around.
Then doesn't it stand to reason that they should be working shorter days?
DirectX is Direct3D, DirectDraw, XInput, DirectSound, DirectMusic and DirectX Media.
Direct3D and DirectDraw are what you use OpenGL for. XInput is for 360 controllers. Everything else is handled by windows messages. DirectInput has been deprecated, and not even Microsoft recommend using it. DirectSound, while I'm not sure if it is widely used, I am sure that there are a LOT of games that use 3rd party libraries anyway - which also support linux. DirectMusic you can use those same 3rd party sound libraries. And DirectX Media is just stuff for web apps and such.
I wonder why Microsoft did not stand up and offer anything remotely as reasonable as this considering their size when they were going to shut down their DRM servers.
Well I doubt they're going to just tear the place down as soon as the Olympics are done. But I don't really see the problem. Every here is always crying about how capitalism is even better than sliced bread, and here it is at work.
Isn't it a corporation's goal to maximise company value? And most (particularly American) corporations deem that to mean short term. Now if he went around saying that he had cancer, then a lot of shareholders would bail (otherwise this wouldn't be an issue at all), thus reducing the value of the company. That would mean that it is his duty to not say he has cancer (by either releasing records saying that he doesn't, or withholding records saying he did), for the good of the company!

All predictions aside, I'd be surprised to see this ever happen. After all, the first one built in Arizonba never did fare that well.
Yeah, because if the first one doesn't work, there's not a hope for anything else even remotely like it.
I saw that on TV so it may be wrong.
What?!
You don't win friends with salad.

If the game is limitless, there are limitless opportunities for TV shows and movies.
Right?
Right?
What exactly are they censoring?
Apparently using morphine will turn us all into serial killers or something.
(meaning they'll have to pay a few bucks extra to get an import or just pirate it)
Actually it's almost always cheaper to import games than to buy them in Australia.
So God is a cat? Why, now everything makes so much sense!
They have a revisions tab with this for spreadsheets at least. I've never used their other stuff, but I assume it would be the same.
You're all wrong! The Earth is a line!

the deadline for switching is 2014
Interestingly, XP will be as old then as Windows 95 is now.
They only know legalese.
If you're a competitor to said company, it could well make you a profit.
It changes from a 125km drive to a 450km drive. That's pretty bad.
I've heard the number of Usenet users has tripled in the last six months.

You do?!
ride a bike from the tip of france to the most eastern point of russia.
Any reason you want to start in France and not Spain or Portugal? If you're going that far you may as well do it properly.
Perhaps Elaine Roberts will give the answer then...

It's our right, as humans, to do so.
No when you are a public figure and so much people (users and investors, depends on you.
Why not?
