> AFAIK they were the first to offer refunds Not out of any manual action on their part. All refunds steam offered were 100% in line with their policies from before the game was released.

The automated and entirely machine-driven refunds will reject you for too much playtime, but after that rejection you go further and get it to a human and they'll refund you.

I'm working on a game with my own GL engine, and i found locally even <5ms jitter is noticable, if only because the jitter occasionally causes a "frame time overflow", leading to a skipped frame or a frame being displayed

Even worse, as the article points out: This is a one-time thing. They'll do it again in the future, only that time with a warning in the EULA or something like that.

Just give up on ink. Laser printers are much better in every regard, and are only bought less because they can't be pushed out the door for less than a restaurant bill.

You know what, there can be long and drawn-out arguments about this, or we test it. I've been wanting to give this one a real try: http://store.steampowered.com/app/369530/ Sadly my laptop sucks too much for

That just weeds out the questions that would make SO look obviously bad. It does nothing to affect the quality of answers that look ok, but are actually problematic. And in those cases "spirit of poster" always trumps correctness.

Just load it with javascript disabled. You may need to find a sane browser for that. Opera 12 does that job fine for me.

Should i be seeing anything special on that page, other than a list of "news" articles discussing when Google's birthday should be?

That is honestly a completely different kind of answer, that imo is perfectly fine. Although, it should come as a comment first, not an answer, but deserves promotion to answer if no further info is given. The difference between your phrasi

I ran into the same problem myself recently. Only in my case the original poster didn't agree with the edit either, since the wording was "obvious to him". He recommended i propose an edit and let mods decide (failed twice al

All the "works for me" answers like yours and the articles are just another example of what's wrong with SO. I was tempted to qualify this more, but honestly, if you can't see why "works for me" is one of the w

> editing is open to all users (some need approval). Technically true, factually false, since correctness of an edit does not trump "spirit of the poster".

You could at the very least make it your mission statement to provide correct answers, and remind all of your moderators of this, instead of having them maintain the "spirit of the poster" on answers that are wrong and on locked

> it's aggressive against bad form questions/answers You're absolutely wrong in that case. Particularly answers being "good" or "correct" is not part of the mission statement; and the rules reject fixes

Absolutely this. I ran into the issue today where somebody had posted an ambiguous answer. Mods rejected edits to clarify, the user themselves said "it's not ambiguous to me", and the question itself is locked.

If the 5-7 model fell down inevitably, then Berlin and almost all german cities would be post-apocalyptic wastelands by now.

In case you don't see the problem inherent in even your analogy: If the bakery goes away, or refuses to sell further bread to the sandwich maker, the maker is fucked. And there's less than ten bakeries world-wide. And if the sandw

Are you thinking of the Enterprise version? Pro is available just fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZSHDJ4O/ And my Win 10 is Pro since i upgrade it from Win 7 Pro.

With the group policy editor you can disable the automatic updates on pro and up. The UI won't change, but the setting will take effect.

The problem is, DDG is not a search engine . It is a UI on top of other search engines . (Yes, you may say it has DuckDuckBot, but ask around people who run websites if they've ever seen a hit from it.)

It isn't different. You can tell it to wait with downloading until you click go, or to auto-download and wait with installing until you click. This worked on WinXP, Win7 and Win8. It does not work on Home editions, since the Group Poli
