Gears, Oblivion, FFXII, Bioshock, and almost ALL other visually appealing games are repeating the SAME concepts and even formula that were discovered within the period 1993-1999. but they are being increasingly visually loaded to 'awwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeesomeeeee' the players, and being pushed into the market.
the cd and windows 95 at 1995 have started this trend of 'industrialization' and automation of game production in game sector. and things have been the SAME since.
before than it was experimentation, fun, testing the untested, adventuring, because gaming companies were small bunch of programmers together. after big buck and 'shareholders' moved in, noone's taking any risks, rather than hashing the old concepts with 'better' graphics and sound and craving for gamer buck.
nintendo did it. they took a chance and did something just like the old school gaming companies (like back in their heyday, blizzard, westwood, accolade and others did) and they hit it big time with games actually putting FUN gameplay on top spot rather than 2nd, or 3rd.
actually wii advertisement spending was much lower compared to the other consoles from what i know.
and this IS a games sell a console situation.
for the first time in around, like, 8-10 years, a major brand (nintendo) came up with the now-forgotten idea of making FUN games instead of ones that has loaded sounds and graphics and repeats old concepts.
That was the name the non-it people in the antitrust hearings have nicknamed the open source crowd with. "The Hairy Guys" they said, put forth some good arguments. "The suits" they said, have paled in comparison.
you should know what you all are, people. you are "Hairy guys" who are on the same side, against the evil software cartels. you should act like one of the "hair"s, and not fight within.
Does Mr commissioner know that something cant be totally blocked/filtered on the web, since one who is bent on finding what s/he wants will eventually find a way to find it ?
and just like the real world, programming is in fact something that comprises of MANY fields and areas. These fields are just like jobs themselves.
For example if you are a C++ programmer (or the language you are best at), you are like a mechanical engineer. if you are very good, you will find a very good job. if you are just ok, you will be just another 'engineer' in some obscure manufacturing plant or technical drawing room somewhere. if you have just jumped in the field for 'cash' or because your parents pushed you in, you will have problems finding a job.
if you are an assembler programmer as expertise, you are just like a painter. it will be VERY hard for you to find work, but if you are good, you will find work that noone can find, and it will be solid as hell, you will have to turn down many people. but, you have to be real, real good.
if you are a PHP/MySQL developer as expertise for example, you are like an industrial engineer. if you are good, you will find very good salary jobs. and always think of leaving and setting up your own shop. if you are just ok, then you will still easily find jobs, although not as good paid, but you at all times will be able to take on work via the internet and do freelance.
it all depends on which profession you choose. MANY cs, software engineer grads, programmers scorn php/mysql for example, even at times arguing php is not even a language (it may be, or it may not be thats not important) but this combo is whats hot on the net for a few years now, and even now the demand is nowhere near satisfied and increases. judging by the amount of free/low cost software enabling individiuals, ordinary people, very small businesses (heck, even ma&pa shops) are enabled to come on the internet and create businesses, communities, services and stuff through the php/mysql road says that the more the supply of programmers the more people will be coming in by that lane because prices are kept cheap.
you just have to choose your field accordingly. its just like choosing a business. dont go choosing a university/college that doesnt have good reputation and then learn asp,.net programming and stack up msces and expect to get a job in a microsoft shop - because of the tradition these shops tend to be rather picky, and even if you are good you might have hard time just because your college is not well known.
on the other hand of the spectrum check out php/mysql developer ads, even at slashdot. they do not even require any kind of bs grad. they gather up the exact specific requirements for the job, and EXPERIENCE. because this field and what it should do and what one needs to do stuff in that is well known and defined, and when you get such people you get your work done.
therefore its all choices. programming, it is a world in itself, with MANY professions. it doesnt matter a bit if you say you are a cs grad. its like saying that "i am a human", in the midst of 7 billion people
what really are you ? a LAMPer ? a.NET junkie ? a C++ nut ? an Assembler monkey ? Database freak ? just decide on that, and start working towards a position.
Have you ever went hiking in Yellowstone? Not the tourist crap but the back woods. Have you spent the night under the stars in Yellowstone? I have.
Have you free climbed a 200 foot rock wall? Not the shit you see in the malls with the safty lines and shit, but the real thing. I have.
Have you rode a wave in CA? I have. Well I tried too. It's harder than it looks.
Have you taken a picture of the morning sun coming up over the bay? I have.
mate, im living in antalya, turkey, near the coast of mediterranean. where i live, worlds top rated blue flag beach is just 15 minutes slow walk away from me, by just hiking for around 30 minutes after waving on a bus which passes by one of the main streets facing the blue mediterranean, i can just reach another top rated blue flag beach which has totally different nature from the first one.
and if i just continue the journey 30 more minutes, i reach ancient sites, in which ionians, bergamans, romans have lived.
if i get a hike 30 minutes in ne direction, i reach a waterfall that has no other like it. if i take a hike 1 hours west i reach the start of the famous blue cruise, with unimaginable forests and beaches mixed together. if i hike just 30 minutes NW, i get to some odd mountain that is always snowy even in 40 degrees celsius summer and can ski. and then go 30 minutes south and swim in the sea.
im in western turkey. the stuff i have done, stuff i have seen, both nature wise and history wise, are incomparable with what you have in united states.
i have seen sunsets and sunrises that you would not be able to even dream of. i didnt take pictures of them, because i can see them anytime i like.
i have done these enough for me to really get satisfied.
so, i pity you, in that you are just at the start of the road to satisfaction.
Have you made love to a woman, Crazy Bitch, under the stars in a canoe? I have. I also have little reminder from that event. She just started the 5th grade. Have you ever went swimming while attempting to make love in a canoe under the stars? I have.
you should come back later when you have grown up enough that one person's idea of romanticism does not apply to all.
Have you jumped out of a prefectly good airplane with nothing between your ass and the ground but a nylon "tent?" Well, neather have I but its on the list of things to do.
just go do that. i have done stuff thats perilous to the extent of being lethal. i dont feel the need to repeat similar stuff.
Forget you. I'll take real events over made up bullshit anyday. Sucks to be you.
forget YOU. apparently you are rather behind on the road i have passed through.
Gaming is not a hobby. A hobby is hiking, photography, woodcraft, astronomy, even fixing up an old junker. Gaming, let me be specific, video gaming where you spend all your time alone staring at a monitor is not a hobby. It's a waist of your life.
so carving a piece of wood with a knife is a hobby, but gaming is not. which international commission decided that ? they didnt notify me.
Put down the joystick, turn off the xbox, come out of the basement, and go out in to the Big Room. Feel the sun on your face and wind in your hair. Get a Fucking Life!
yea. when you start gaming, they instantly put 2 bodyguards in front of your house door so you cant get out to "feel the sun on your face and wind in your hair". if you try, they beat you down. cut the stereotype bullshit.
Get a Fucking Life!
you mean work in an office from 8 to 17 like a drone, commute back in 1.5 hours to home, watch tv for 3 hours, go to bed, rinse and repeat for 20 years while paying security in order to be able to go fishing while waiting to die at the end of that ?
the fact is i see web development as a service to people. they have dreams, they come to you and they expect you to realize it. so i dont discriminate between them, and take any jobs.
So now the new change applies only to weapons ? it wasnt like that when they announced it. reaction, probably.
dont worry, they will make it so that it will apply to everything in time.
also i was told yesterday that season 1 items were going to be buyable by honor points, when season 3 items come up. and season 3 items surpass everything. see the pattern ? grind bg to get acceptable gear first, then grind arena to get top gear. and when you get it and use it for only 2-3 months, new season comes.
He was an inventor, but he didn't invent the internal combustion engine or the automobile, in that context he was primarily a skilled manager and salesman.
inventing mass production line. its an invention by itself. lets say it wasnt. even then he would be exempt from the rule since he is an innovator, and would be less dependent on investors, sponsors or clients than anybody else probably. that was the main idea i was talking about.
If you don't think it's a relevant quote, try asking a client what they want rather than helping them determine what they want. Most of them want boring, annoying flash intros, background music, annoying sound effects, all-flash layouts for what is essentially a brochure, etc. They're not stupid, they're just lay-people who've been exposed to 15 years of terrible websites, just like consumers at the turn of the 20th century who've only been exposed to horses for transportation.
well you gotta give them that. and then the other stuff.
well, henry ford was an inventor. he is exempt from this subject, since inventors are people who go against the advice, and make something that is not done before and make it big - its pointless, they generally are not subject to any serious supervision.
it behaves differently on every client hardware / software combination and installed programs. and some registry stuff. and some settings. and then some more stuff.
You really can't win in this situation - say anything and you're wrong for arguing, do what they say (even if you said it won't work, it writing, in triplicate) and it's your fault when it doesn't wor
no client is able to object when what happened was due to what they have requested despite being warned about.

thats the deal. noones gonna stop nintendo.
actually im a cautious person.

thats why wii is outselling all consoles.
its relaxing
just what are you trying to say, i have no idea.

client side scripting = gambling
no client is able to object when what happened was due to what they have requested despite being warned about.
well, thats a dirty trick isnt it ? 'sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence' on part of at&t people.
they probably noticed this setting worked despite when device was closed, and fixed this. i wonder how many million $ they made.
We all know their methods equate with concept of crooky practices passing as 'business'. But this time, apple is caught in the mess too.
everyone does that. however client has the last word.
