PS4 games have a mean installation size of around 7.2 GB with a standard deviation of 11.1 GB, while Xbox games have a mean installation size of 10.5 GB with a standard deviation of 12.7 GB. The summary is misleading in saying that games "often" weigh in at over 40 GB. It's quite rare.
The link above breaks it down across "Major" and "Indie" games (division as at the article link). Short story there is: "Indie" games are on average tiny compared to the average across all games, while "Major" games are slightly larger.
Thanks for taking the time to express what I've thought about the culture in slashdot comments for a long time. I also find the stubbornness and blindness to these issues among commenters strange, given the otherwise clear, open and logical thinking people here seem to strive for.
Since I don't work on this type of stuff myself, I may be a bit ignorant, but why not build it on top of APITrace? And in what way is APITrace lacking?
When I was going to the KDE 4.0 release party at Googleplex in 2010 (my only US trip), the pilot failed to put us down at SFO three times in a row. During the first two attempts, I remember thinking "wow, that was pretty close". He finally had to put us down in Oakland instead, where we had to sit on the runway for quite a while before the customs there got their act together and could process us.
This was a very misty January day though, and I have no idea if this is common at SFO.
I ran a book shop for about a year, and then a book cafe for a year after that before we sold the place.
When I started the book shop I bought a pretty cheap Samsung ML-1710 (i think) for the point of sale, it worked without a glitch through those two years. I printed quite a lot, probably an average of 30-40 pages a day since I printed all the day reports on it.
The place has gone through two owners since then (sold the place in late 2007), but I know that as of last month, the current owner is still using it. If the owners after me used it as much as I did, that would be ~50k printouts. I think that's pretty good.
When I needed to get a new printer for myself last month I got a Samsung ML-2571N and I've been very happy so far. It's network connected and was automatically detected my CUPS from both my Arch machine and my roomies Kubuntu machine. It does PostScript 3 and is pretty fast. No color though, but as others have said, unless you really need it, you're only setting yourself up for some serious toner cartridge expenses.
Or well it was a bookshop and coffee shop combined.
Anyway. These were exactly the kind of customers I did not want. People who work or study from coffee shops are the worst customers you can imagine; not only do they sit for hours and hours taking up potential customer space without really buying anything more than an occasional latte, but after a while they'll think they're your friend too. If you're really unlucky they'll get completely disillusioned and think they actually work there.
I had my coffee shop for a year before selling it. I actually had one guy who wrote his whole university D study (don't know what the US equivalent is, I'm a Swede) at my shop, and then had the stomach to brag about the fact.
The best customers are the take away customers. Period.
Efter uppgifter om att den nytillsatta hovrättsdomaren i Pirate Baymålet tidigare varit medlem i samma upphovsrättsförening som den jävsanklagade tingsrättsdomaren, ombads hovrättspresidenten igår att pröva om inte en annan av rättens avdelningar borde avgöra jävsfrågan.
Following information that the newly appointed courts of appeal [1] judge in the Pirate Bay trial has been a member of the same copyright association as the district court [2] judge currently accused of bias, the president of the court of appeal was yesterday asked to investigate whether or not another department within the court should settle the issue of bias.
Idag kom beslutet: Utsedda hovrättsrådet Ulrika Ihrfelt, som jobbar på den avdelning som har särskild inriktning på upphovsrätt och immaterialrättsliga mål, får inte döma i frågan om tingsrätten varit jävig.
Today came the decision: The appointed Justice of the court of appeal [3], Ulrika Ihrfelt, who works in the department specializing in copyright and immaterial rights, is not allowed to judge in the question of whether there was bias in the district court's decision.
Istället kommer jävsfrågan att flyttas till en annan av hovrättens avdelningar och där prövas av avdelningens chef, hovrättslagmannen Anders Eka tillsammans med hovrättsråden Christina Jacobsson och Ulrika Beergrehn.
Instead, the question of bias will be moved to another department within the court, and there be judged by the head of the department, lawspeaker [4] Anders Eka, together with the Justices of the court of appeal Christina Jacobsson and Ulrika Beergrehn.
âSkälen för detta är dels att jävsfrågan bör prövas av andra domare än de som senare kan komma att döma i målet, dels att det, med hänsyn till innehållet i jävs-invändningen, bedömts som lämpligt att jävsfrågan avgörs på en avdelning som inte har specialinriktning på upphovsrättâ, skriver hovrätten i pressmeddelandet.
"The reasons for this is partly that the issue of bias should be determined by other judges than those who might later be called upon to preside in the case, and partly that it, considering the nature of the bias-objection has been found appropriate that the issue of bias is determined in a department not specializing in copyright", the court of appeal writes in the press release.
Jävsfrågan ska behandlas med förtur. Hovrättspresidenten Fredrik Wersäll räknar med att beslut kan komma âinom maximalt några veckorâ, uppger TT.
The issue of bias should be prioritized. President of the court of appeal Fredrik Wersäll, is expecting a ruling "in a few weeks, maximum", TT reports [5].
Hovrätten kommer inte att sätta i gång med Pirate Bay-målet förrän jävsfrågan är avgjord. Om Norström skulle bedömas som jävig kan målet skickas tillbaka till tingsrätten och domen rivas upp.
The court of appeal will not start the Pirate Bay trial until the until the issue of bias has been settled. If Norström would be ruled as biased, the case might be sent back to the district court and the ruling there declared invalid.
Flera av de dömda piraternas försvarsadvokater hävdar att Norström varit jävig, bland annat genom att han är medlem i flera föreningar med anknytning till upphovsrätt. De fyra dömdes till ett års fängelse och till a
Anyone who actually watched the show would know the plot was not like that.
It wasn't some Kung-Fu the Legend Continues. It had a very complex plot with many main characters. Outstanding writing, acting, suspense, and plot development made this the best show on television.
Really? Weird, because I've accidently watched quite a bit of it and it seems to me like a piece of shit, both in plot and acting.
I'm not saying that I don't agree with you to a certain point, and I do lack a formal degree as well and still work as a programmer to some extent, but I think Joel Spolsky has a point worth considering his article "The Law of Leaky Abstractions" [1].
In short; the point is that the shit will inevitably hit the fan at one point or another. The abstractions you are using will leak. And at that point, your ability to roll up your sleeves and dig into the details -- some of which will put those "CS-y" skills you claim not to have any interest in learning to the test -- can be what separates you from the pack.
That said, I also agree that there's a good amount of common sense to being a successful programmer or sysadmin in the real world.
CMYK is not mentioned in the release announcement, nor in the change log, neither have Inge brought it up in his marketing effort. This was probably a mistake by the submitter/editor. Believe me Inge has been using KOffice and is well aware of its support for a wide range of color spaces:)
..and it's really great. My landlord, which is a publicly owned company here in town, ordered the installation as a pilot project for some of the buildings on my street. The connection is 30 Mbit/s synchronous with a fixed IP, and I've found that most of the time this speed is really is what I get. The first thing I tried was to download a Slackware ISO from the Swedish University network just for fun, because I remembered doing that back in the days when 56K modems were impressive beasts. It took 3-4 minutes:)
I live in a shitty little town in central Sweden, but when it comes to Internet I really can't complain.
I'm paying about 54 USD a month for this service. I got no special equipment except for the converter in my apartment (from which I have Cat5). There are a few other operators on the fiber, for IPTV and VoIP, but I haven't looked into that yet.

Get a Samsung SyncMaster 930BF. I like it very much, and they also have a 2 ms variant that is a bit more expensive. Okay it doesn't look very dashing, but it performs:)

Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 5.2 Released!
It is once again my great privilege and pleasure to announce the availability of FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE. Building upon the success of FreeBSD 5.1, this release includes:
* Full Tier-1 support for single and multiprocessor AMD Athlon64 and Opteron systems.
* Dynamically linked root partition for a smaller installation footprint and better integration with the Name Service Switch subsystem.
* New and improved driver support for IDE, SATA, and 802.11a/b/g devices, and significantly better integration with the ACPI power management subsystem.
* Client support for the Network File System version 4 protocol.
* Experimental first-stage support for multithreaded filtering and forwarding of IP traffic. This also provides the foundation for a fully multi-threaded network stack in the next release of FreeBSD.
* In-box support for the latest Gnome 2.4 and KDE 3.1 desktops.
I think people should make their programs work with the keyboard in conjuction with the mouse. Like in Gimp you just press Control and then the wheel does horizontal scrolling. Having to many functions for one hand makes me confused. Then there's always the chap that hinted the masturbation-to-pictures value of a device like this. But I'll leave that to him.
I see people in previous posts saying "Why 128 bit addresses, they can't be remembered" and getting answers such as "You are not supposed to remember them, that's why we have DNS". Really, IPv6 addresses aren't that hard to remember. Having used IPv6 for all my machines at home (>10) for about 6 months I have no trouble remembering all their addresses, eventhough I normally use DNS. Get your prefix, put up some machines, and you'll see it's not that hard.

This sounds like a disguised attempt at bragging about your stereo equipment. Queue Spinal Tap reference.
Haven't we had enough yet?
A big table is hard to interpret. Here's histograms, including means, standard deviations and links to the CSV data that I took from their HTML table:

Nothing should play unless I press play. Geez.

He says in the comments that he's supposed to release the source today.
The source is apparently C# using .NET 3.5, so might take a bit of work to get running under e.g. Mono, should you be on a non-Windows platform.
