If a service puts me on a subscription list without asking me, and then at the unsubscription page throws a questionnaire at me as to why I am unsubscribing, I take that as dishonest behavior. Obviously I am unsubscribing because I never su

Is Google Play Services downloaded though Google Play?

Especially the last part infuriates me, I'm now being done a favor by having ads shoved in my face against my will? There is just no way you can spin that as "helping", it's advertisements, nothing more, nothing less.

But are there any realistic alternatives?

Indeed. The clever part though is that since the code is never loaded as text, the normal ways of detecting and combating it will have a hard time. Such an image can be hosted on imgur or imageshack, and anti-virus/anti-malware mechani

Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't this loop terminate prematurely if the array contains any falsy value, such as undefined, null, false, NaN, or 0?

You just need a DRM server which each nanobot must obtain a proper license key from every cycle.

Considering the patents that have been granted, I'm not so sure about that. Maybe it's supposed to be like that in theory, but in practice it seems companies can copyright basic shapes and colors.

...or in an even more cynical view, let's big corporations and trolls to file patents for things that have long been in use but nobody even thought about patenting.

So King is using the argument that everybody else is using against them? (saying that they cannot copyright "Candy" and "Saga" due to them already being in wildspread use)

I disagree. According to this line of logic, if I use Yale's data to find a good class, and I verbally mention said class to you, my roomate, I would be giving you a piece data in a way Yale does not sanction. Making a website that bet

So that's a million dollars every week. I have a really difficult time imagining that this person was overall profitable to the company.

Unfortunately "manager" has morphed in meaning to mean something more akin to "boss" or "chief", both in the publics perception and actual company practices.

While home consoles like the NES has very small game sizes (often just a handful of kb per room), I think arcade games tended to have a lot more space available for huge sprites and music.

No, the point here is that there will be no slowdown, because the browser doesn't need to reparse the entire CSS document every time it needs to refer to that variable value, or anything like that. It reads over the definitions ONCE (w

But that's redefined as new constants again right? The internal representation of the CSS inside the browser would just need to update the inlined values.

by Drakim 13y ago
If the variables are constants, there shouldn't be any slowdown. The browser could just inline replace the variable references with the actual values in it's own internal representation.

That seems rather natural. It wouldn't even be surprising if they sold the consoles at a loss, considering there is a lot of money in owning as much as the market share as possible, due to game sales but most of all the ever growing &q

Is simply "not thinking about it" the answer though? It seems to me that a lot of people deal with death by forgetting about it, and avoiding anything that reminds of it.

It depends. Do most customers actually care about how easy it is to break their screen before they have actually broken it? Will it be on their mind when they are standing in the store looking at smartphones? It strikes me as the sort of th

I wonder if they might bundle them with most Valve steam titles, so that people feel that they would get a lot for their money. (on the other hand a lot of the people excited for the SteamMachine probably owns a lot of Valve titles already)

Apples and Oranges are being compared here. The difference between Steam and web games is like the difference between video files and Youtube. Youtube is always of inferior quality, but it can play almost anywhere anytime. You don't ne

But that's not a road we want to walk down, imagine if every title was meaningless! The point of titles should be to give an informing mini-summary about the topic.
