   I got a 360 recently to play an arcade scrolling shooter port. Microsoft requires game publishers to have a certain minimum number of those popup achievements in the game before they approve it for production. Cynically, the publisher (a me

   They could do that. Run some portions of the game on the server, which would remove some of the game logic from the client, making any sort of crack to require adding back in instead of simply stripping out logic. They probably will not do

   True. It's a loss for them either way -- if Ubisoft goes out of their way to add this feature, the effort required by the crackers is proportionally smaller. I tend to think most of the draconian copyrape is actually internal political mane

   1. Make your own, free saved game server and alter the application code to use it. This means a lot of work and expense, both to duplicate Ubisoft's game saving code and to set up and maintain the servers. Won't happen. I'm not even a ver

   Rather than the physical hardware of the touchscreen accuracy, nobody seems to be commenting on the software accuracy and, more importantly, latency. Android is much less responsive (yes, even on my Nexus One) than any iPhone model. This is

   It's possible to break Android from just within the OS itself. This also applies to Ubuntu and almost every other OS I can think of. I don't know if this will be the case with Chrome.

   I can't tell if the comments here taking this seriously are being sarcastic or not. Ok, brain hurting like recursive Lisp macros now.

    JavaScript's brilliant solution is to just not have integers. At all. That's better, somehow?

    Then why post it here? "It could exist in a future phone at some point, it doesn't involve you. But here's a link, for you to read." If I shouldn't care, then why should I care?

    Have you ever looked at the Android market? Aside from the porn, it has all of those problems.

    Here are some things to check out if you are just getting into development for the Cocoa Touch platform. There's probably a lot of drivel out there, now that the platform has become hot shit for marketing and corporate dweebs, so there are

    Flash is pretty OK in Windows, generally. I wouldn't have such a big beef with it if Adobe could get its Linux and especially Mac OS X versions at least as fast/non-crashy.

    Yeah I'm just dying for karma. I'm generalizing a lot here, I know there are people who work on Flash stuff and aren't huge dicks about it. When I read most comments in support of Flash, they're usually something like, "Flash gives me the t

    We should allow the Flash developers to secede from the web. It's what they seem to want, anyway.

    Then you should have said that when you replied, not state that it wasn't an outlandish claim.

    For me, Flash crashes multiple times every day in OS X 10.5. Clicktoflash is a godsend for Safari stability without plugin process separation. (offer an anecdote, receive an anecdote.)

    Don't generators have to yield in order to return data? And I never claimed these were eccentric features.

    It's always easy to spot people who make a living programming solely in Flash. It's kind of an interesting phenomenon -- people will suddenly, and vocally, speak up in support of Flash with outlandish claims.

    You think it's weird now, wait until you start building infinite lists or writing recursive functions with no terminating case as part of your everyday routine in Haskell :)
