I'm hoping you're actually working on the service you just described? Between the delivery of meds and labs, it is "interesting" how much hospitals pay just to get things from A to B - though the custody chain tracking certainly plays a par

Not sure that most of these are unique to game studios, but certainly are true of most small shops. The feedback one in particular is crucial - if you can find a way to get useful feedback (beyond just "it's good" or "it's bad"), you will b

In this case the article seems to be taking the approach (for fun I suspect) of "If you wanted to be a Mad Despot, and part of your plan was to cut off the Internet to achieve this, which countries should you target". While Ireland and Gree

For the same reason it tends to get used in Alternate Rock? A way to say, "we both know we're hipper than the average dude, and can use this word to shock Joe Q Public while just adding an inside emphasis for us cool dudes who won't over re

Although for most purposes you can tell it to just use the "defined" Documents space (effectively user/MyDocuments) which means you shouldn't HAVE to worry about spidering down directories for your save files and such. Not associated with M

DeFacto Standard is Visual Studio Express (free with basic info). Allows you to develop in any of the Windows 8 UI supported languages, including Javascript. About halfway done with my first game (a visual novel), and I could see where down

Anyone with a PGP background who could comment on how well this works, and how likely this is not to leave information open to either the email provider or the app provider?

Curious about your "fast" comment. Tried to get in twice with the "Login with Twitter" option and things just spun and spun until they timed out. What are you commenting on? Speed of adding new articles or... ?

Unfortunately the problem isn't whether you know and respect them, but whether your boss does. I've worked for folks where they want to be able to point and show that you were doing "something" when a release is delayed, and the fact that y

Could someone point me to a similar Win 8 comparison?

Why not? I mean there are certainly folks doing "off the grid" experiments that are moving this way, and I can certainly see a future where you create enough power for most of your home needs locally, including using some version of a 3D pr

You are probably blocking some ports it expects to communicate on. WiFi or Ethernet?

Am always reminded of a quote I saw when I stumbled across a survivalist forum after looking for an emergency kit on Amazon - If you aren't armed, and know how to use the weapons, you're just building an ultimate safe house for the guy down

Ummm... that's kind of a broad statement. Are you looking for folks who can use Unity to create desktop games? Mobile? Looking for stuff compatible with the web player? Unless you were just using that as an example and don't have a current

Couple of concerns here, although I went ahead and applied just in case. First, I tend to keep my programming "persona" separate from my "regular" persona. That avoids issues with places I've worked or may be working. Second is that my GitH

The presumed model is that the manufacturer will buy fleet insurance since it will now mainly be design flaws causing accidents rather than needing to prepare premiums based on each individual driver. And yes, that will probably be a smalle

On a Latitude 10 running Win 8 I find that a travel 3-port USB hub and travel sized mouse and keyboard is rather efficient. Of course I found that for a lot of things on my Android tablet a mouse made a world of difference as well. The real

As an owner of one, I would point out that they do accept full sized SD Card. So you get a fast 64 GB SD card, and you find that it is actually fairly usable. That said, the 2GB limitation means you are still going to be doing more Office t

I just have to ask, where do I contact these companies in China looking for US programmers, and is Mandarin a requirement? This sounds a bit like the offers to make a good living teaching English overseas, where the reality is a bit differe

I think timescale may be applicable here. Some key programs for large companies will spend several million a year for several years - particularly if you are taking your Mainframe applications and trying to restructure them to have more eas

I will avoid the "easy" joke that it's because so many sites balk at running properly under IE9 (oh... guess I didn't after all), and point out that I do believe that Microsoft understands they need to regain a certain amount of cred if the
