>No offense to the developers, but there has been very little to no communication. There's been weekly or slightly shorter than weekly updates and a 24-hour status page. Also, most key portal functionality was available not that lon

Core Data, as someone said earlier, has a much steeper learning curve than straight SQLite, but it pays off in the long run, saving you from writing enormous amounts of repeating, mindless code. I dread having to maintain my older non-Core

The central point of the tablet part of the case brought against Samsung was that they had deliberately attempted to confuse customers intent on purchasing an iPad, into purchasing their product instead, while still thinking they were actua

It says in the HTP5 release that Linode was placed in an intolerably difficulty situation between the HTP group and the FBI and were not in a position to make a public statement until they were directly instructed to by the FBI.

I got that at first, opened an incognito window and re-logged in and that appeared to have fixed it, perhaps sessions created from before the maintenance were broken?

If you read the comment you replied to, you would see that at least on one occasion, RPS were supplied exactly the same information by developers that they are now complaining about in the final game, seemingly because there are angry mob p

Obviously in no way does each instance of piracy equate to a lost sale, but even a moderate percentage of instances of piracy that actually lost a sale would be a disappointing total sum lost by the developer, considering the enormous overa

I'm basically referring to the fervent anti-DRM crowd (most gaming sites communities), and I would have expected at least a lower than average piracy rate for a game where the developer basically "gave in" to this group, in an attempt to pl
