The companies want to sell you something, so they make changes even tho they are not required or even requested. They add thigs, change things only on the basis of making changes, because they need to sell you something... it make me think about Windows media player which was great at version 6 but after that... only got poorer and poorer because they changed it when they shouldn't have.
Thats the problem with our economy.
Ok since Hyperloop is presurised ( no air in the tube ) if there's a leak its easy to detect pressure will drop rapidly so the train or pod will be forced to stop or at least decelerate since with air in the tube it wont be able to maintain its 700 MPH speed. So the tiniest leak should be pretty easy to know. Then its easy to stop the pod before something fatal happens. If the failure is mecanical well then it all depend on how they designed the thing to do. I suspect that there will be redudancy on all key systems and parts that are vitals. ( second sets of wheel in case primary fail and so on )
im pretty confident it will be safer than a train can be.
Don't forget the environment is crutial for hyperloop so it will be monitored much closely
This is not the case with a train.
At the same time tho I dont think youll be spared anything you have in an airport. I mean an explosion would be as much devastating in a hyperloop than in a airplaine... can you imagine an explosion at 700 MPH how far would the debris goes!
Amen my friend amen, I know what you mean. I played to many FPS I can't even look at one without being disgusted... I played soo many MMORPG I get nightmare about starting a toon at first level. I too dont have the time to master games like StarCraft, AoE and other RTS. I like racing game a lot because thats the game thats sooo easy to let go and then come back and know where you're at. I still like RPG (non MMO) since they are story driven but the latest Final Fantasy make me think about the old Mystic Quest on the SNES... easy as hell without a hint of challenge. So yeah I understand.. my latest game is not so much great but its fun, its indie so Im helping a fellow coder and its cheap enought. Hegemony, Philip of Macedone. Good game, could have been better but the game play is simple enough and its still a bit adictive. But I've been playing it for only 3 sessions so I know im at the begging so I cant tell you if it stays good in the long run.
It is sad that the sieasta is going away. They should market that much more and force the rest of the world to accept the siesta for themseles instead of loosing it.
Power to the sleepers!
I have to agree here.
Also they should not count kids and young people who dont yet have a revenu.
Its sure that kids and youngster without jobs wont buy and they will pirate, they dont have money to buy.
I would resume this in one simple question:
Of the material you have pirated that you can remember, how much would you have brought, that you didn't actually brought, if it were sold at a resonable price?
Because there are three things that make ME pirate.
1. I want to know if I will like it before buying
2. The price is unresonable ( ie 70$ for 1 season of ST-TNG) (I brought all seasons of SG-1 it was only 25$ each)
3. The thing I would not buy because I already know I dont like it enough, but from time to time its entertaining.. (ie: Buffy)
( I watched all the buffy, but damn I would have never brought it and if I couldn't pirate it, it wouldn't have changed my life is I didn't saw it)
I have an idea... we should put a timer on the ok/continue button.. but not to prevent them from clicking it... no.. to know how fast they clicked it...Imagine..
Error message sayong something, user click ok.. other screen saying you can't have read that error message in 1.23546 seconds... that impossible... please read the error message carefully before continuing... then the ok button would bring back the last error.
Oh here I have to say something... Deadlines... you dont know how fancy and neat every program would be if we had the time we need to finish these up.. but management dont care... they want ti on the shelf yesterday... not when its ready!
I just realized that what made me soo good with computer.. you know the kind of guy that get called by his whole familly, and even the families of friends... is that I know how to read an error message....
The real probleme is not that the video appeared on youtube, the problem is that someone was stupid enough to beat another human being, be it down syndrom or not. The syndrom has nothing to do with it.. and in my opinion its good that the video appeared on youtube for two reason. 1. If it sickens enough people they will realise that the problem is not the video its the act. That the only solution is not censorship its education. 2. If enough people criticize the one putting the video up well they might just realise how stupid they were and change. Again... hiding things dont help.. showing it and saying.. damn this is stupid, do you realise what you have done? Put yourself in the shoe of that person !! THAT is something that SHOULD be done. Not hidding it... thats just hiding from your monster.. not confronting it.
I dont CARE about graphics... I mean, I've been playing X-Com for the last few weeks... I want good gameplay, something fun dont need to have uber realist graphics... what would really change something for me is immersion. Give me a nice 3D environment.. and by that I dont mean something more shiny or more realistic on a screen... I want to turn my head and see whats behind me... IMMERSION... not even more realistic graphics...
I always tough I would perform really great in shooters if it weren't a question of aiming with a mouse but aiming with my hands!!
Give me something to make me feel like im inside the thing...
Im soooo bored with those comment "but the graphics are so nice." Yeah so what... Its like the only thing that changes in modern games is graphics...
Damn it..
In other words... they put the glasses on the screen.. it makes me think of the little toy they gave out in cereal boxes where you could see spider-man jumping when you would watch the plastic thingy under different angles...
Also some one has a point... lets say some hacker want to bully Ubisoft into paying them ransom... what if they DDoS their masters servers... you wont be able to play even if youre online because their server is down... have fun
Are you serious? WoW IS AN ONLINE game.. you cant play when you're not online. But if I play settlers or other solo games in a 12 hours flight... well oups I can.. even if the game has nothing to do with being online... and WoW doesn't do this to stop piracy.. the game is flexible. THat mean your connection can drop for a few second and if it can reconnect well you wont get disconnected.. you will resume as if you'd lagged quite a bit. Also WoW doesnt require you to save... you cant loose progress... When you dont know a thing... dont comment...
The most anying thing with DRM is that in fact it just annoy those who pay for the game. Those that pirate it, dont have that hassle.. and since I do pay for my games, well that just mean I'll stop buying Ubisoft games altogether. Maybe i'll just go knock at their door to tell them. They have an office 2 floors up from where I work.
I use gmail for 1 reason... ok maybe 2... but only one that really matters... It is fast and lean. If you fatten it up with useless networking crap its going to get slower, no doubt about it.. my second reason is that I had my name as an email address..
So I have only 3 fingers in each hands... that makes me a pedophile if I understand correctly...
Yeah I mean I prefer my women with small breast because I like it when it fits in my hands...
So in australia I would be deemed pedophile because I was born with small hands...
This HAS to be the MOST REDICULOUS thing I have ever read.
The funny thing about this is copyright dont help you get a retirement fund, you do it yourself.
Fine I have an idea, change the copyright law. From now on every bit of money you do from copyriht goes directly to a retirment fund.
You wont make a cent while youre working but god damn you'll be ritch when you retire at 65.
I wonder if they would prefer that or no retirment fund but short term copyright.
Forever minus one day... I hope they will realise how stupid that sound?
How do you define forever in the first place.
Is it forever for the material?
Is it forever for the human kind?
Or is it forever for the planet?
Or even forever for life?
Forever for the material, so it would get public domain one day before every living being forget it exists. Then no one would remember it exist so no point in making it public.
Forever for the humand kind, so it would become public one day before the apocalypse, great I'll have time to rewrite the end of this novell the way I wanted it to finish. Tomorrow a gigantic asteroid is going to hit the earth... do you think I have the time?
Forever for the planet... so even if not human being still exist, one day before the earth is destroy everything will fall in the public domain. Great but no one is there to care anyway.
Forever for life itself.. so when the last thing alive in the universe dies the next day, they will probably not be able to enjoy what humanity had created before it disapered, before their planet was destroyed...
That news is just soooo... unimportant.. I mean what 110 000 unknown artist haven't been paid, thats nothing. You want news? The MPAA is screaming that the movie industry is loosing billions of dollards. I mean thats a lot of money.. who cares if hard working low budget artist dont have money to get food... The bottomless pucket from the movie industry are loosing billions... Thats a lot of money... they could probably feed 10x 110 000 underground artist trying to make a living, but thats no matter... They need more money.. they wouldn't know what to do with it except re-invest it.. but thats not a problem... the problem is that they should have had more...
Am I the only one seeing a problem here.
The more I think about it, the more I see only one solution to all those nagging problem.
We need a revolution!

But there are far worse on TV.. I mean ghost hunter... who the hell watch this show... Please.. just stop the spinoffs.. be original.

Happy new copyright and merry suing to everyone of you :D
We should burn those patent trolls on the stake and rejoice in having rid the world of such evil.
