It wasn't a real system; he was just throwing ideas out there. The reason this was brought up (and this interview occurred LAST May) was simply an off-the-cuff example of a mechanism of rewarding players who give back to the community. The fact that they haven't actually implemented that exact system should clue you into a possible reason why they didn't actually do it.
It's not a real proposal; it was taken out of context (this Q&A happened months ago). He was just throwing things out there.
Ribbon? I just use keyboard shortcuts.
Because they originally wanted $2 billion. Seriously.
>Then they should simplify since Apple shows it does a better job of making money.
Apple does a better job of making money because they ignore the business market and sell consumer products at high margins; this isn't a criticism of them, but a statement of fact: Apple would never have done a $300 netbook.
You know, Apple has separate two operating systems that share a good deal of code as well: OS X and iOS. Would we even be having this discussion if Metro wasn't in 8/8 Pro and Windows RT was officially called something like Leaf OS?
From the article:
But these outings were focused more on introducing the general public to the basic tasks of each organization. The proposed projects in the works now are being designed for trained professionals to further hone their skills.
Not recruiting, training. The government has two options when it comes to employing virtual environments for training purposes: write their own specialized code, or take something from off-the-shelf and mod it.
"Dont get me wrong, games can be high stress, but not nearly as high stressed as one wrong move and you cease to exist, games a have reset button and a spawn location"
Well shit, I guess we better give up on all training because you can always restart a training session and it won't have as much urgency as the real thing.
"And since they were stupid enough to put Intel chips in the machines they don't even get a power/battery life advantage."
Oddly enough, the latest Chrome OS prototypes that were leaked were running on ARM.
"The problem is the whole net centrism of Chrome OS."
The average computer user -- i.e., not you or me -- these days spends most of their time in the browser, so this really isn't as big a problem as you think it is... for the average computer user.
"Don't think Chrome itself is available on Linux/ARM but the unofficial Chromium almost certainly is."
Considering that most of the Chrome source code is drawn from Chromium project, calling Chromium "unofficial" is somewhat of an insult.
Turns out, the capitalists won't be selling the rope with which they'll be hanged. They'll be paying for it themselves.
From the press release: "Moreover, they should also be aware that although anime and manga is legal in many areas of the United States and Japan, etc., to possess and utilize..."
The hell? Makes it sound like all anime and manga have naked children in them. Also, Matheson didn't get off scot-free: "Mr. Matheson has agreed to plead to a non-criminal code regulatory offense under the Customs Act of Canada."
"A more practical short term solution may be to use the debit card number for your checking account."
That's a fantastically terrible idea. There's a lot of fewer protections if you debit card info gets swiped than for credit cards. You might as well use a prepaid cash card so that the only money you lose is whatever was on the card, and that's assuming you aren't able to revoke it.
"Overuse"? Preventative? Pray tell, what is the preventative function of taking antibiotics -- which kill bacteria -- to treat a cold, which is caused by viruses?
When you have two EMTs, there is no interruption. One guy does the compressions, whereas another uses an squeezable apparatus (the name escapes me at the moment) to pump air in.
"First, there are disputes over how to even perform CPR for maximum effectiveness, with some saying that chest compression alone produces better outcomes than a mix of chest and breathing."
There is pretty close to ZERO dispute over how to perform CPR. Compression-only CPR is intended for untrained individuals who may be under stress; it's easier to just simply keep pumping than to keep track of "how many compressions have been done, oh, now it's time to take a breathe". The average person may be more reluctant to put their lips on a complete stranger; it's also more difficult to alternate between breathing and compressions if there's just one person available. Paramedics, EMTs, etc do both compressions and ventilation.
Given that damnation is supposedly eternal, the plus or minus few extra years isn't going to make much of a difference.
One small step for man, one giant stumble for mankind.
