Not bad, just not how the law thinks you should do it. (So copyright law wasn't designed to scale, that's all.) And yes, I still think your approach is a good one, because even if someone sues you it'd be probably far easier and ultimately cheaper to settle, than contacting every developer individually.
Difficult? API, versioning, long term support. Graceful degradation. Wrappers. Seriously, thousands are cursing each and every day because of the fucking focus refactor delay, because a simple (optional/configurable) workaround was deemed difficult.. for YEARS.
If their network guys work like the ones I know, 00:47 is just right before lunch time.
There are human errors, sure, but the worst one I've seen come from management trying to rush things, so the network guys "just stay until it works", instead of leaving it in a known good state and go and take some rest.
Yes, that's why a handy, easily discoverable, fully functional GUI is not some luxury, but a very dire need especially today, when literally millions want to be software developers, and want to acquire skills fast.
It's just like Portal. It takes a while, then you're thinking with branches, trees, commits and git.
Though the whole Git SCM really lacks a all-in-1-click solution, so you can actually manage your source code. A competent merge tool would be good for starters. Built-in pre-commit warning about unresolved merges (conflict markers left in files), not just the "chmod +x the.git/hooks/whatever if you want a warning". And some visual branch/rebase/cherry-pick management would be nice too.
Just to put 1000 USD into perspective, Hungary's Gross National Income per capita in 2008 was estimated to be 12,810. While New Zealand's was 27,830.
I've had to look up how much an iPhone 3GS is (currently officially available top-of-the-line device from Apple) and it's roughly 680 USD, however one has to enter into a 12 month contract with T-Mobile so it's not even unlocked.
Yeah, I remember, the E70. It came shortly after I simply stopped caring. The low end Nokia phones become sluggish thanks to the not so smart Symbian of that era, and it lacked many features Sony-Ericcsons had. Also that was the year I started burning money thanks to a particular female and fancy phones were out of the question:)
The credit crunch seriously hurt Europe, especially those who are employed. They usually can't afford iPhones and top-of-the-line Androids, not that any of them were available for too long, thanks to idiotic market partitioning.
So, we have Nokias. I've two, and lately I don't even know how much these cost because the company just negotiates some special price list then hands out phones when someone's departs to the GSM afterlife.
Regarding your questions about enthusiasm, we used to. Even laypeople were quite familiar with the product line numbers and wanted the new 63xx or 8xxx or whatever they thought would be good for them.
Nowadays, it's just apathy. Apple is massively overpricing, especially for Central- and Easter-Europe, HTC is just plain expensive and generally not that available, same goes for the Droid for example.
You could even create a shockwave, that'd travel faster than the speed of sound.
Then the crystals break up, it becomes fluid, then, with enough force instant phase change into plasma. (See the Z-machine)
With enough force you could eventually compress the thing enough to start fusion, then if you could somehow push it more, it just becomes a neutron blob. Then quark-ball, then see wikipedia for something called a Q star:)
For the record, I've no problem with the theory behind genetic engineering, however this whole corporate filth that's surrounding almost any new technology is simply disgusting.
Wave functions and infinite frequencies aside, the important thing we should reproduce is the response from the rod and cone cells. And maybe we could find a better basis for our color spaces, than RGB or RGBY and whatever specific frequencies are present in TFT displays. (I don't know anything about emission spectra of plamas and CRTs, but I guess they are also very limited in terms of producable gamut.)
We don't have to invent anything for an automated mine-factory as opposed to fusion plants.
Starting fusion is one thing. Sustaining it, injecting fuel, collecting the resulting energy is a common problem for almost all fusion schemes. For ICF figuring out how to fire the lasers 10 times a second, manufacturing pellets, targeting them, keeping them cool, keeping the star chamer clean are very big causes for head ache. For ITER and other tokamak designs keeping the magnets cooled, collecting energy from the resulting neutrons are the big problems.
At the end the episode of BBC's Horizon which deals with the NIF best guesstimates for commercial fusion is 2040.
I'm not saying we shouldn't pursure fusion, but in 30 years we could make quite a few round trips into space and spread out a few square kilometers of thin film PV and support mirror material.
Joe would need to rent server space next to the NASDAQ data center to get on the same level. Joe would need to pour millions of dollars into hardware and software.
It's a little more than just unfair. This is a completely other side game played on the same exchanges between computers.
Why not go closer to the Sun? At 0.3 AU total energy is about ten times as high.
We could set up a remote factory on Mercury. It probably has the materials. Then it's just a matter of time until we have a nice black body, covered with thin-film PV and a few microwave energy transport towers.
And it's not necessarily more far fetched than a commercial fusion plant.
Valid point, I wasn't too specific. Of course it's either look or lean, or maybe a hybrid of the two, whereas trying to look behind the wall results in leaning. So, while you're holding the "lean button" one axis of the mouse controls leaning, but you're free to look up-down.
Also, it's just a matter of habit, I think. For example: player rushes to a cover, taps Q, leans & semi-aims with mouse, and if more freedom for aiming is required, then just releases Q, and he's free to aim, the character won't move, until he presses WASD.
As far as I can see, the problem is simply the fact, that in some situations our two hands are insufficient to control complex motions of our avatars. Maybe with a headband with two infrared dots and a sensor control of the camera could be moved away from the mouse.
That's not a full listing. For example they have some servers in Budapest, Hungary, (here are a few traceroutes, just scroll down a bit http://suckit.blog.hu/2009/10/14/van_e_a_google_nek_szerverparkja_magyarorszagon ).
Huh?
It's steadily increasing according to these graphs: http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/3M_HEAT_CONTENT/heat_content55-07.png http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/3M_HEAT_CONTENT/
Yes, precisely. More kinetic energy, more mass. That's how you get to infinite (or zero, if you started with zero) mass at lightspeed, after all.

Citation needed on HFT causes destabilization.
Tax on transactions would be bad, it'd harm people's ability to effortlessly donate, pay etc.

Survival instinct?
For that Ponzi scheme bit, could you sketch a proof maybe later? Sounds interesting, thanks!

Just searched for "monsanto waste" on youtube, haven't watched it. If it's not legit, then sorry for wasting your time.
Got me on the energy transfer. Haven't even thought about beam spread out.
Regarding nuclear, I'm a big fan of breeders, let's hope governments will come to their senses soon.

NTP already does this. (Slews the time if the difference is less than 128 ms.)

Honestly, I can't estimate how hard it would be to control two analog devices at once, and one with just one finger.
But this gaming pad looks far more convincing than the Logitech G13.

Also, it's just a matter of habit, I think. For example: player rushes to a cover, taps Q, leans & semi-aims with mouse, and if more freedom for aiming is required, then just releases Q, and he's free to aim, the character won't move, until he presses WASD.
As far as I can see, the problem is simply the fact, that in some situations our two hands are insufficient to control complex motions of our avatars. Maybe with a headband with two infrared dots and a sensor control of the camera could be moved away from the mouse.
Just make Q a modifier key. While holding Q you control the amount of leaning by your mouse. You can still fire with left mouse button.
Or Control, or Shift, and you can still move around with WASD while maintaining the lean of the body. No need for another analog device.
