I never backed anything on kickstarter yet, but from the secondary information i got, i always thought that you get your money back if the project fails. Am i under a false assumption?

i am thinking "we'll see".
i am very paranoid about the kinect 2, and will not use one until it's hacked - then we will find out. The hackers will be all over this box and will eventually find out everything about it.
I dearly hope it's something major, because that would damage microsoft. Then the government will have a taste of the free market mafia and that's where all the political influence comes from today anyway. *tinfoil hat off
I wonder what the real difference between these drugs could be?
I always thought alcohol gets a free pass because back in the days wine and beer was made by christian monks. And what comes from God is ok, so to speak.
we tested it on a ip4, too. Weirdly, we hat performance problems. It behaved like android 2.0. Choppy scrolling everywhere, laggy interface and so on. Mind you this was just installed and no configuration except activation was done....
i am slightly overweight. i live a sedentary lifestyle. i feel pretty good about myself because i don't feel the pressure to conform to some arbitrary comicbook idealisation of what "looks healthy".
and i don't feel the need to belittle people living another lifestyle.
you have good self control? good for you. now go work on stuff like "respect" and "not being a douchebag about things" because that's where you are sorely lacking.
a few years back, i have seen a demo where they used 2 cameras at the sides of the screen, made some interpolation vodoo and voila, you could look at the screen AND have eye contact. Worked like a charm. I always wondered why nobody included this in their notebooks, as it also worked "one-sided" where the user on the other side did not have this setup.
IANAL, but wouldn't that be illegal in EU?
I never owned an iPhone, but don't iphones register an itunes account with apple? By keeping a database on IMEI numbers of the devices that are sold over a carrier, i would think it to be quite easy to keep track of that?
I don't exactly know and am honestly too drunk and lazy to google it, but if memory serves me right, the time between console announcement and actual appearance on the market seemed to be pretty long, so i think we look at 2014/2015.
Plus i think it is entirely possible that the announcements (NOT the actual market releases) are made a bit earlier this time to get people to diss the Wii U and wait for the "big thing"
OTOH you might get less performance. Wipeout on the FAT was spotless, framerate-wise. On the SLIM, there are points in the game where you get framerate drops now. Nothing gameplay hindering, but noticeable nonetheless.
Justin Bieber got lots of awards, too. That doesn't mean anything.
I am on the "not so good" side of it, too. HL got its praise mainly for the presentation and storyline/ambiente. But compared to other shooters of the time, many gameplay aspects were not good.
The weapon selector was atrocious, the mouse handling managed to feel jittery in spite of high framerates, enemies that pop up like in a shooting gallery via "teleporting" in... and so on.

I read a few articles on the new shiny, but there seems to be no information on how the thermal and related noise situation is. How does the smaller design and needed computing power to drive that screen impact the temperature (under stress)?
My old MBP already gets annoyingly hot and loud when i am doing stuff on it.
i mean, they used the aerial photography to model the terrain and texture them.
somehow i cannot find the setting anymore for reference....
