There are countless games coming out that don't use draconian DRM. "The future of gaming" is a lot less monolithic than the two of you would suggest.

I actually legitimately hated Spore for its gameplay. So much promise and hype...such poor execution.

When I first started using ST, I thought the map would be really helpful. In the end, I typically use it the way you do...as a sort of placeholder and scrollbar. However, the ctrl-R feature has become my go-to tool for finding a subsection

I think the point he's making is that you don't need to find a jQuery-like library for PHP because you can just use another language. I personally say nuts to that. With all of the latest projects, PHP development is actually getting to be

Google has had 3D buildings for years. That video is only the latest in a long series of improvements on this feature. The level of detail in that video far exceeds what others are doing, but it's still rolling out throughout this year.

>Someone mentioned that it's a $700 cost It was some guy higher up who provided no sources. We don't know how much it actually costs Google. There are so many factors involved that I highly doubt $700 is what it costs.

>Then again, I first learned about it in an economics book in the 90s ... and I think that book was from the 70s. Well that explains why you have such an average grasp of the concept.

Thank you for clarifying that.

I personally wouldn't use any single event to mark the "start" of private space exploration. It's a gradual process, not something that happens all of a sudden.

Thanks for explaining that!

Simple. Make two game modes: Indestructible Cabin mode and Hardcore mode. In hardcore mode, if you get into an accident and the cab happens to crush your legs, you have to finish the rest of the game in a wheelchair.

It depends on the game. I think we're right at the point right now where some developers are making a huge push toward absolute realism (see: LA Noire's facial models and Battlefield 3's destructible environments), but it's still in the ear

Could you expound on this a bit? What attributes would you have to add? How would you calculate scores?

This flight on its own isn't "disruptive", but the process that it's a part of might be. The purpose of this flight is just to prove that the technology works. The process might be disruptive if it continues its cost cutting and space fligh

Not sure if you're aware, but the big "fork me on github" link at the top right isn't pointing at github.com/atdt, it's pointing at github.com/you.

You appear to be confused. They're not talking about the cancer-destroying t-cells, they're talking about the DRACOs drug suite to kill viruses. Two totally different stories.

Well that's exactly the point...most people don't want to learn , regardless of geographical location. The trick in traffic engineering is to devise solutions that are inherently simple and require little or no training. To use the modern

Massachusetts has the worst drivers in the the country - that is a fact - MA has the highest accident rate in the US. A high accident rate is not proof that Massachusetts "has the worst drivers in the country". I've lived in Massachusetts

You might think so, but everyone says this everywhere in the world. For example, this is the top argument that people use against the implementation of the generally-safer, higher-throughput modern roundabouts. Without fail, every time a mo

Android, as an operating system created by Android, Inc. and incubated and promoted by Google, is not "charitable" per se, but that's not the point that martythemaniak is making. As a free, open-source piece of software, it effectively acts

In that case, I don't really see any validity in the complaint. The search function is a temporary UI addition with a single purpose that goes away the moment you hit escape. Better yet, if you hit ctrl-f again, it comes back with the same

Continuing assault on the address bar. (First they came for "http", then they came for me.) Could you please explain why this is an issue to you?

I see your point about #3, but to be honest, I've been using Chrome since v1 and I have never once had this be an issue. Not a single time. There is simply never a case where what I'm searching for is in the very top right 10 pixels of a pa

And one of the big weaknesses of Wikipedia, at least in English[0], is that few Wikipedia editors go beyond Google or their own personal experience in sourcing articles. I guess you can count me as one of the few. I was in my university's
