These people are parasites, and leeches, whose evasion is helping to drive UP the cost for everybody else. Public transportation is en expensive service, mostly subsidized through taxes, these hypocritical parasites help make it that much more expensive for everybody else.
I hope the Swedish authorities take an idea that was floated when the same was about to happen in Denmark.
The fines the "organization" pay, are to be treated as taxable income.
I'm recalling a story about the production of Uncharted 2, also by Naughty Dog, mentioning that this is definitely about the shaders and other graphical effects.
The game engine is not just general gaming code, pulled apart and optimized, it was written for the specifics of the Cell CPU, and the PS3 architecture, then optimized at a byte level. One of the tricks Naughty Dog learned, was to leverage the 7 active SPE's in the Cell CPU to assist the GPU in rendering the scenes. They have the SPE's do some of the tasks the ageing GPU can't, as well as physics. Besides, the GP CPU in the Cell is not an x86 CPU core, it's another relic, a PowerPC core, and not a particularly fast one at that, IIRC its primary job is to manage the 7 SPE's
I can only speak for Denmark, but the wind and solar producers get only about 1/3 of retail for the power they put on the grid. In times where they consume, they pay retail for what they receive. The power companies apparently make a lot of money on this asymmetrical exchange.
Sure, their player numbers soared when they did it, and continue to do so, right?
Ok, I'll admit that it seemed to work the first few times they dumbed it down a bit, though I think that that was more due to the traction it already had at the time.
MS pulled a fast one at E3, wehre they used high end PC's to demo the XBox One. IIRC MS later claimed that these were "representative" and also used for development. However, if these were the machines the devs were using to develop their game, it's no wonder they exceeded the available resources on the console. http://www.techpowerup.com/185...
It may be that it helps in the short term, but what about in the long run? When the stressed individual need to be waned off the childhood delusions all over again?
Apple does it, and like it or not (most likely not) Samsung have to do it to protect themselves. And yes, I'm aware that they are all litigious bastards. Apple just seems to be the worst, with the least substantial patents.
As in mutually assured destruction. I hate it, and I hate the need for it, but if Google/Samsung etc. don't build a portfolio of essential patents, litigious bastards, like Apple and other patent trolls, will steam-roll them in the courts.
One current example is the subtle weakening of the RNG's which in turn is claimed to reduce for instance 128 bit symmetric keys to effectively just 32-bit strength.
I can't recall where I saw that stated, and I have no idea how that would work.
Whether NSA breaks it or not is actually irrelevant, wikileaks could even send the key to them without trouble. The question is, do they (NSA) dare risk that the rest of us get access to it.

Please consider the amount of dumb things they'll try ON the golf course.
Because "dumbing down the game" have worked SO well for Blizzard and World of Warcraft..
I'm being sarcastic.

They won't be happy before they put a 4K screen on a 5" unit.
Then they'll aim for 6K or 8K, just because the number is larger.
Definitely Android Studio. When I used Eclipse for Android development, it felt as if I spent half my time fighting the IDE, rather then my code.

It seems to me that the real "glass holes" are those without Google glass.
A very good explanation. Thanks.
Make it 10.0.0.0/12 for private networks, and reclaim the rest for public networks?
OOXML MUST DIE!
I've have my share of fun decoding that crap. It is not a good format for anyone but Microsoft.
I'd say at least have the ability to set if the requested permissions are read only, or read/write.

That's cute. Come back when your ears are dry, if "time around here" matters one iota.
I do recall a story about Maersk moving their data centre from the US to Denmark, using one of their planes as a carrier, filled with harddisks.
One current example is the subtle weakening of the RNG's which in turn is claimed to reduce for instance 128 bit symmetric keys to effectively just 32-bit strength.

If the file contains anything of interest, it might even be in wikileaks interest to let the NSA know what is in it.
