When I was a young'un we had a bunch of games on the family computer--which was actually a DOS box--and I played the crap out of most of those games. Except there was one--I think it was Super Huey--that I couldn't figure out f

If you read more closely you'll see that I did not say anything attempting to justify the proposal for .dev or indeed any other TLD. Nor did I compare the .gov restrictions to a completely-closed TLD. My purpose was not to argue for a

Obligatory disclosure: I currently work at Google but I don't do anything even remotely related to TLDs or the discussion at hand. These comments are my own and don't necessarily reflect the company's views, etc. I'm go

You're still missing the point though it seems the reason is that you've mistaken the context of the original "the relevant number is not their net income." To help spell it out: 1. seanp2k2 expressed doubt that a $600,

There's nothing wrong with linking different schemes as long as the user is expecting it. Most users click links without first examining the URL and the default assumption is that a link points to another page. If you say "click

My favourite algebra professor always said something to the effect of "we always have to be careful about abusing notation but if we make good choices of notation we can abuse it right." Definitions are sort of the same deal.

First, if you think I'm complaining you may be misreading. I'm explaining the difference in perceived ethos but I have no problem with HB at all. Second, I think you already realise that your analogy is only analogous in that the

It would be one thing if it felt like EA had decided they wanted to do a charity event out of the goodness of their heart or at least like the charity was the point of it. As was, it felt more like EA didn't think they could get away

If it makes you feel better, the ad was also taken down very quickly. This would be much more meaningful if you hadn't already stated that you took it down because you already got the information you wanted.

Perhaps it's just my personal feelings towards the relevant companies but I felt like it was a totally different affair than the Origin bundle, though you are right that it was different from the original ethos. The main similarity to

Did you tell her about it/get her permission beforehand? Or did she say something when you met her that indicated it would be okay? If so, great. If not, this is still in the creepy / douche canoe area and the fact that she hap

As the guy who submitted the front-paged link to the Origin bundle, I thought it was interesting because it was a significant departure from the usual Humble Bundle fare and perceived ethos. Submitting every bundle that's offered, howe

Considering games one already owns and games one doesn't want, that's what not purchasing this bundle is for me.

Clearly you aren't that interested in the games in the first place, and it's not really an Origin issue. Clearly how? You are correct that I am not sufficiently interested in order to go through the additional hassle of Origin.

I'm not the person to which you are replying, but as I have the same attitude I can at least answer for myself: I already own the games that register on Steam that are interesting. I would only be interested in the games that don&#x27

> I wonder if people would appraise it quite as highly without context That's a really silly idea. Context is as much a part of art as the actual piece itself.

Uh, E = mc^2 is not the full equation. That is, in fact, a special case for an object with no momentum in a given frame. The actual equation is E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2, where the p is momentum. And, unsurprisingly, the old "p=mv&quot

That's pretty much a question of what the divide between zombies and vampires really is. They are, in essence, very similar, especially compiling variants of the myths. They are undead in some way feeding off of humans in a manner th

Anything else would be simply untrue. These companies obviously give limited data (not server access, not direct) to the government when required by subpoena and whatnot so they couldn't say "we give no access to any data" o

I found these lines curious: Get labelled a “Failure” and it can ruin your life. As a pedagogical methodology, embracing failure is the last thing these kids need. So rather than telling these kids that failure isn't a bad thing and tha
