This is definitively a great game. New twist on the old light cycle game. As far as I know, molehill, adobe's 3D engine is not yet released so I don't think it's fair to talk about WebGL vs Flash yet. We will have to see if molehill can sol

That should no longer be required. Some cards are blacklisted due to older drivers. Try updating your drivers to the lastest ones from NVIDIA or ATI. If that doesn't --ignore-gpu-blacklist might work but if your card is blacklisted it might

Yeah I tend to agree that the in the last year and half web technologies have exploded in capabilities. And looking at what was traditionally only possible on the desktop, that category is slowly starting to dwindle. Part of my job has been

It's obvious that it's discriminatory but at the same time there is a limited number of immigrants that are allowed into the country every year. It's probably best to take those who can easily get integrated into society. For example in th

Wow the comments on that article feels like being in a separate universe were everyone seems to find a crappy analogy that doesn't make any sense.

That's an important thing to note. Becoming a master programmer takes more than 4 years. If you don't learn outside of school you are doomed.

Tron Legacy was incredible visually and musically, I'm sad the story didn't live up to the rest of the movie. I hope Disney can look pass that and maybe make a sequel. I hope this guy does go ahead and create a OpenGL UI toolkit. He should

There are other options, in Quebec they have a couple of universities doing co-op programs where students work (paid) half time and go to school the other half, the schools find prospective employers and work out the duties the students nee

That's all fine and as the University has stated they found nothing in his records that would show any kind of misconduct, personal use of ressources etc... My point is just that the Professor in question shouldn't have been surprised by th

It's mostly due to delware (other states are very different). The state of Delaware uses its lenient coporation laws as a way to make a ton of revenues for the state. These laws attract most corporations (for foreigners some of these laws a

I don't think incorporating was a mistake, I incorporated a c-corp last year and read that getting 5K shares was the maximum while remaining at a minimum franchise tax. From my understanding, the initial amount of shares is not a big deal a

If you are suing 5000 people could they not pool up resources and get a good legal team? I think this might play against the studios in this case, it's large enough that it might start getting real media attention and maybe just maybe some

@timmyd: But there is innovation in the search space, some companies are making efforts to have features google doesn't have currently. Duck Duck Go, wolframalpha... I wouldn't say any of those doesn't have a chance to become big.

Even basic fidelity was not possible due to some really complex issues (excel date format) which were not documented anywhere. Look at the PDF format, it's a very complex format that almost no one fully support, but the 95% of features peop

You could download all your emails with pop or imap if you wanted. This has always been supported. It would have been nice to use WordPerfect but as you mention people wanted a conversion that retain the layout of the original .doc When I c

Wow, I mean, I'm young but I do remember the late 90s where every document had to be in .doc format (last I checked it's still pretty mendatory) or else no one could open it and Microsoft did everything they could to prevent other from reim

No,a friend of mine worked in a large call center it's usually the opposite, you have a quota of how many people you help in a day. Calls that run too long can hurt you. If you consistently take too long they assume your not helping and fir

I think this is enough for me to switch from protoss to zerg. Just the idea that I'm playing a Mac race is going to affect my psyche enough for me to stay in bronze forever ;p

Yeah I would not be doing it unless it was necessary. When I wrote that I was parsing a large file using javascript (from the client filesystem) and the round trip to the server would have been longer than this little function takes.

In the town where I went to college, you could easily make 20$ an hour as a delivery driver. This not including tips. Because the town had a high rate of drivers having been killed in robbery attempts. I think it's safer to work as a lumber

Exactly what I'm thinking. If you remove the and there are two interpretations ( blame english for this). both ineffectual and perpetual or just perpetual or just ineffectual.

Well I think there is a major difference, you can be a perpetual grad student but get good stuff done. Usually you end up as a post doc for a while but never get a real prof position for whatever political reason. I know a lot of good grad

Doug Engelbart isn't listed on any of these patents, funny but I'm pretty sure his NLS system would make him the inventor of most of this.

Anyone has a list of the patents in question? It seems like if the description is right, it has something to do with the UI. I was expecting something like the usual patent suit over the FAT filesystem used on SDCards or something like that
