You seem to be in agreement with the person you're replying to. They're saying that there's a compatibility shim so that more IE6 users can 'see the light'.

That's the gist. This is the lawyer having (even more) fun with the lawsuit, because why the hell wouldn't you have fun in a job like this? I'm pretty sure that he and the judge both know that Okrand's claim was a fictio

But the difference is not just semantic. VR experiences will necessarily lose a lot of cinematography (particularly that regarding shot composition and framing) because the viewer is in control over the camera, and they almost completely lo

Well I don't know the guts of Stanford's CS program either, but the term 'introductory computer science class', particularly pluralized, could easily be a course of the form 'Introduction to X' where X is some

The article doesn't mention the author's programming experience before university. The author also has a CS degree from Stanford, interned at Facebook and Google, and is currently a software engineer at Pinterest. Even if your ear

You don't have much choice when your friends or relatives post about you on Facebook either, and there, lying to Facebook is out of your hands. Privacy isn't transactional, it's environmental.

As well as the point made by the others, part of why he opposed (big C) Communism was that they were counterrevolutionary and suppressed the actual socialist revolution that was happening in Spain at the time. In short, the Stalinists were

It's time that people stopped using the term 'Windows' for this operating system. The Free Software Foundation created the bulk of the userspace, under terms that allow anyone to share, modify and fork the programs, and then

Worse than that, I'd say. The new revamped Dead Kennedys are essentially complaining that they're finding it too hard to make serious money from 30 year old material. In the 15 years or so since they reformed, they've not app

Please use the same terminology as everyone else. Windows has always been an open platform (that is anyone can write and publish software for it without being coerced into some sort of a contractual relationship with a third party). This is

Not that it alters your point in any way whatsoever (except to date third party engine-reuse even further), but Hexen used a variant Doom engine, not quake. Hexen 2 was the one that used the Quake Engine.

The Sinclair Spectrum port of Elite did something like this in the tape loader where, while loading off an audio cassette, it would load a new tape loader code and jump into that, and the load a bit more of the game, before grabbing yet ano

That's a bad example. I'm sure the CoD developers generally think they're making some of the best games ever, and they have the sales figures and the plaudits to prove it. Gamers like to sneer at CoD, but I'm certain the

Both are general purpose engines and can be put towards a wide variety of game genres. Out of the box, UE4's editor comes with about half a dozen templates (FPS, top-down, side-scrolling platformer etc) for rudimentary intro projects.

That sounds like Unreal. Unity has a free version and a pro version, the latter is either a subscription-based one, or a one-off payment of $1500 or similar, which does sound awfully cheap to me.

It's not the first instance. Harald Welte, a member of FSF-Europe and an IPtables contributor, did spend a lot of time enforcing the GPL against violators in Germany, as the driving force behind the late gpl-violations.org.

The 5% Epic takes is from of the gross product revenue rather than the net. In an age where some AAA games can sell a few million copies and still not turn a profit, Epic is smart enough to pick the model that avoids losing out to Hollywo

That's a grey area surely. Much of Valve's output has been people making completely new own games out of existing games - CS, TF2 and Dota all began life as mods to very different games. I think that they'll have monetisation

Firstly, Hitler liberalised German's gun laws slightly. He actually removed some of the restrictions and allowed Germans even to own some types of gun without a permit. Of course, Jews were banned from owning guns entirely, but in Nazi

You would. But the camera owner owns the equipment and all the physical materials your copyrighted work is embedded in, so he or she owns the only physical copy; you'd find it hard to make yourself rich with it without the photographer
