Also Day of the Tentacle only gets a passing mention. However, as stated, this article is more about the key developments of the genre rather than necessarily it's greatest games.
In 1991 the average wage for a male American worker with a bachelor's degree was 2.5 times that of a high-school drop-out; now the ratio is 3.
Isn't this more an indiciation of a widening income gap between working class and middle class backgrounds? There are a lot of not-so-smart people with degrees.
I'd love to be a talento that gets paid to eat nice food and say 'oishii' all day. Unfortunately I am not a member of SMAP or Arashi so it's a non-starter.
These days, any externally facing facet of your organisation can be part of its PR. If you have lawyers acting for your company, your lawyers become your PR. That's dangerous. I hope they learned a lesson here.
My mileage definitely varied from yours. I did a CS degree with not a lot of maths and now do IT in a bank. I specialise in time-series database (KDB) for market data and quant analytics - coincidently, I learned this both on the job and in my own time after university.
I don't do a huge amount of mathematics day to day but I find myself writing functions using probablity and other similar levels of maths.
He needs to walk away. If he's being paid less than what he feels he is worth, let the market decide. If the company wants or needs him bad enough, they'll match any offer he gets externally.
You're talking about 'security through minority' which is different. In other words, it's safe because it's not visible/important enough for anyone to care or notice.
Security through obscurity means it's supposedly safe because not many people understand how it works, which is what Steve Chang is talking about. People opposed to this view point believe that many eyes will help find and close bugs, as in open source.
Moreover, security isn't a function of desirability. A shitty bike isn't safe by itself without a lock to secure it. If I want to, I can still walk up and ride it away - that's not security.
It's scary that someone of his seniority in the computer security business would be pushing 'security through obscurity'. Doesn't he have access to Google? The only fear uncertainty and doubt I have is about Trend Micro.
I'm a KDB developer at a large financial institution. Most banks using KDB store today's stock market data and an on disk store of everything before today. The theory goes that there is the most to be gained by manipulating the most important data in memory, namely today's data. You need the history but the speed of the on-disk partition is always going to be slower.
Selling more copies of the game and further DLC seems to be the order of the day. Also, I wonder if the fact that this generations hardware is already close to it's limits in terms of performance that can be eeked from the various engines has something to do with it. It's not possible to push the "ooh shiny" factor so hard when you divide the processing between two frames. It's a lot 'easier' just to through the thing through a local ethernet connection or xbox live.
Having said that, local multiplayer gaming is some of the most fun two people can have with their clothes on. I'm not sure why it's not being promoted more these days. It's probably that the format of gaming has moved away from Street Fighter, Bomberman and Contra to things like Call of Duty. At least Call of Duty still has single player for now...
All of what you said is true but nowhere in my comment did I say anything about the effectiveness of those laws. If anything, what you say highlights the ineffectivesness of further legislation. I simply proposed that we need not 'accept' child porn in order that freedom of information not be countermanded by additional controlling laws. Sorry for not covering all the bases but I thought that was obvious.
If you are not willing to tolerate toddler porn being transmitted then you are saying "censor anything you want on the internet".
I don't think we have to prepare ourselves to tolerate child porn in such a way. Child porn is already illegal in it's own right and should be dealt with using the laws we have available for it's removal from society. Same goes for inciting terrorism and other kinds of 'distasteful' stuff including, like it or not, copyrighted material. Freedom of speech isn't a concern relating to these, legally anyway.
I think when a politicians ask the question, "Can we have a filter?", your answer should be, "Ah, you mean like China and Iran..."
The impact to civil liberty is more clearly understood in that context.

That sorts out the driving around part, but what do you do to simulate picking up cheap hookers? I think your Sim Kerb Crawler needs more work. (but subscribe me to your newsletter)

Probably not. Bankers have degrees and thus would be included in the average.

I wonder what this means for the Japanese Government sponsered TV Streaming App:

I'm glad you asked. I was going to send all their kit to Nigeria. I'm sure that data will be safe there.

I'll show them how to destroy it for half the price.
Say what you really mean!

I bet her kids are mal-adjusted with no social skills. Unemployable basically.
Anyway, didn't youtube start out as a haven for piracy? Keep going I say, maybe you'll be work something as a legitimate business one day.
There's an app for that - it's called Illegal Rendition. Ask your local CIA representative for details.
I also remember when a phone was just a phone. I think it's better this way.

I think it's more accruate that we don't work anywhere. So why should the office be any different. :)
