In my last rental car they skipped the middleman; there was no 12v port, but there was a 120V AC socket, as well as the usb.

Even if it's technically 'hd' 720p is still an ugly rescaling experience.

They did give India a backdoor, and it seems naive to think that no one else has it.

If they've publicly provided similar capabilities to the Indian government, it seems naive to think that list isn't longer. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/telecom/news/government-to-take-over...

I can kinda see edge cases where 1-1 NAT makes sense, depending on the product, or are they asking for NAPT like most people think of NAT?

I may be the minority, but it's nice that all the exclusives I'm waiting for are PC exclusives.

I haven't read the paper, but in other 'fun with primes' exercises, 1 is often excluded.

You're almost a decade off; 20 years ago Doom was released and the hottest game I knew of. The North American release of the NES was 28 years ago now.

I think that the reason that the taxation rates are capped like that is that they represent a regional differential. You'd be annoyed too if your taxes were ten percent higher than a neighbouring town for no discernible reason.

I don't think that's as large a problem as preexisting exclusive content contracts with incumbent networks.

Why not ฿ and ฿BTC much like we do $ and $USD here in Canada?

I think that the regional city interactions and global market count as 'parts of the logic'. I agree it's not compute intensive, but it is fairly central to the design of the new SimCity. No reason the region couldn't be locally simulate

Steam requires authentication with their servers, and that authentication is cache-able for offline access, for a period up to a month before requiring reauthentication. It is DRM, but I don't find it to be onerous. Individual publishers ma

I am not open to the idea that there is that much more to the simulation. If there was, there wouldn't be reports of people being able to play without connection for extended periods as long as they don't try to interact with the region. A

Point 1 is not entirely true; sites of that nature rather like recurring billing, which bitcoin doesn't do out of the box.

It's already SimCity Online in everything but name, and many gamers who traditionally enjoyed the franchise are exceedingly sceptical about the changes. Might as well call a spade a spade.

I don't deny that, but if I comedy for smart people is thin upon the ground, I'll take comedy about smart people over reality television that's otherwise permeating the airwaves.

I find the same thing from Canada. Perhaps I'll try telling it I'm at a more equatorial location.

Not the person you replied to, but in my experience the other place Cisco shines (relatively speaking) is in hellish environments. This isn't so much applicable to datacenter usage, but to serve some of our satellite offices reqires placing

That is typically exactly what is claimed by the victims, that paypal first completes, and then is later rescinded/charged back for whatever reason; steam then removes access to the account. I've heard a wide enough variety of paypal horro

I encourage you to look at Achron http://www.achrongame.com/ , a RTS with timetravel as an integral gameplay mechanic. It doesn't deal with relativity explicitly, but does have multiple independent timestreams.

Fairly certain that you don't need to be paying, just be able to log into the battle.net site. This was the case for the signup and download for the closed beta.
