This is completely wrong. I am part of an indie team and Nintendo has offered us much more than Microsoft or Sony. They have changed their stance towards indies significantly in the past 12 months. No one is really friendly with homebrew c

This is a bad idea. Makes bitcoins seem less legitimate as a form of currency. Also as far as I can tell this only helps out people mining coins, which is not at all the purpose of these currencies.

Yeah but I think it is silly to suggest he has retired on a 25k a year pension. I mean have homeless people retired? Have people on food stamps retired?

25k/3 people is like a welfare amount of money to live on.

You should really understand more than basic statistics for most science. How are you even defining basic stats?

These claims are just conjecture. I mean if it is ok for a scientific paper to be made up of unproven conjecture then I guess it is fine.

High school is too late. It should happen in 6th-8th grade, but I'm not sure what class you would bump to make that happen. Maybe let it alternate days with foreign language?

That is very different from a loan to buy videogames. They can take the house if you default.

These are two different markets that we are talking about. I don't think the goal of the xbox, ps3 or steam box ever has been to distribute a bunch of low budget $1 casual games. This is a potentially lucrative market, but it hasn't existe

I think you are sort of right. I think that maybe apple's console entry could become a bastion of $1, low budget casual games. Not because it couldn't handle the hardcore games market, but because the store will be setup with the same pro

What OS/browser are you using? I have no idea what you are talking about. The only time I have ever seen anything like what you are describing is when maybe something is messed up with flash or an external pdf viewer. But even that doesn

I have never once seen app install monetization not be evil. It is one thing if an installer advertised a piece of software like how you see get firefox buttons. It is another thing to try and wedge some app install agreements between a

All of the various telecom companies are state owned. So I guess there is net neutrality in the sense that you can expect the same level of censorship on each state owned ISP which is really the same ISP. Yeah, China is really showing Amer

I agree. They start out by talking about video and phone integration in apps. But then they are like, you have 1 million api calls, and it will translate text for you. Please pay us money for our babel fish. Also we will populate forms

LINQ is pretty sick and if obj-c has a similar feature I have never seen it.

Honestly right now to make something using phonegap that matches or nearly matches the look/feel/quality of a native app is harder imo than just making it in obj-c or c# with monotouch.

How is this fundamentally different from using phonegap with ios/android? Are there more apis that tie into native functionality? Cause you can just hook a lot of those up with phonegap anyway. From this example I can't see any differenc

Has anyone here actually tried using OnPatient? Last time I used it it was terribly laggy and seemed like the programming was being offshored or done by interns or something. Also it was really unintuitive to use. I'm not sure what was go

Oh well unplayably choppy is more subjective but I was going with the true problems a large dt would create like collision detection failure and controls not working. I can't think of a framework that doesn't have a fixed timestep except fo

No, you are talking about adding all of these operations per object in the game world. It doesn't stop at gravity either. Virtually everything in the game world is moving via acceleration. If you were going to do this in a consistent mann

That is my point. You are sacrificing the accuracy of a double for the speed of a float. You are already storing all these values in floats which is inherently inaccurate. Also if the dt becomes very large you have bigger problems than gr
