I seriously doubt that anyone who wanted to play the game a week ago couldn't find a beta key floating around somewhere to play (there are about a million key giveaways on reddit, etc). I think that Valve getting rid of the beta statu

I think the reason I like telnet is because I control what is being sent down the line. It's not like telnet has any contextual knowledge of what I'm sending, so it can't do any translations on it; I get to choose exactly how

Considering that XCode uses a version of clang (which is open source) for it's compiling, I wouldn't say that the main compiler is proprietary either. I think that what people mean is that all of the "usefulness" of Obje

For the record, you can't manually upgrade the RAM on a Macbook Air (it's soldered to the motherboard), so selling a RAM upgrade on them is reasonable. On the other computers it is important though.

I use fish. It's pretty fun to use. It has some pain points (most notably missing things like subshells and inline variable exporting) but it's in beta, so we'll see where it goes. I love the completions though, and it's definitely worth ch

But the bitcoins are still in existence. It is impossible to distinguish between a bitcoin that can be spent and one that cannot. Unless you could actively tell the bitcoin servers "I am destroying these coins", nobody can determine which b

I'm not saying it does, just pointing out the order. I agree, no matter which way it happened, it was bad.

She took the picture before she got the pycon people involved. You can tell because of the times on her tweets. The picture was tweeted at 10:32, and she started calling for the pycon staff at 10:34.

It does say in the code of conduct that you shouldn't handle it yourself. Also, due to "offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spa

It looks to me like they're just obfuscated words. If you look at one of the hierarchies, you see "TUdKmf-xhiy4-haAclf", then "TUdKmf-xhiy4-DKlKme-haAclf", then "TUdKmf-xhiy4". Seems like they're just taking a normal class like "note-body-w

Again, I'm not saying "the game is working fine", I'm saying "I know that the servers are not completely shut down because there is at least one person who is able to play consistently". I agree, the game has issues (of which some have been

I'll agree that EA did a terrible job of explaining to people why the new game was different than the old ones (i.e. why it might require always-online). I think the key point comes from this (taken from the OP): > Players who want to r

I think it is data. People are claiming that the game _does not work_, so if it's working for somebody, then the servers must be doing something. People are claiming that the servers have literally been down for the past week and a half, wh

That is a good point. I've avoided it, so I forgot that it can be a large part of the game. However, one could argue that Maxis will likely be releasing DLC/Expansion packs for Sim City (seeing as they've done this for every other Sim game

Guild Wars 2 sells an actual MMO as a one-time fee, and they're doing just swell. I've heard most people claim that as one of its benefits, not a downside. Not sure what that means, just wanted to point out that people often do enjoy single

Considering that about 90% of the gameplay comes from interacting with the other cities in the region, I really don't think this would work out as well as people think it would. The cities are small enough that you can't supply all the powe

I regularly get up to about 30-40 tabs. I'm a spacial thinker, so I can remember where the content that I want is relative to it's position in the tab bar (+- about 2 tabs usually), so having the icons disappear doesn't bother me. I just co

I can assure you, this CAPTCHA will not become widespread, because most people don't know how to play chess. It's specifically on a forum about chess, so it's reasonable there, but anywhere else would be ridiculous. I will agree that coding

Yes, but we're not talking about encouraging people to become an English major, we're talking about introducing people to these subjects. Do you think people would learn more logical thought doing a year of coding or a year of reading?

And if they hadn't, people would be confused about whether something's supposed to be a pointer or an array. I think I like the current syntax much better.

Mind pointing out any constructive arguments against it? I recently switched over from hand-built makefiles to cmake for one of my projects, and it's been a breeze.

Hmm, I don't see any ads, even with adblock turned off, once I run that line.
