i followed the development of the AI for Real Racing for so long, that now i want to play it just to see how well the use of genetic algorithms worked. but most people think $10 is a lot for an iphone game...
Because the user licence that comes with OS X prevents you from doing that.
Technically Apple could come after you for your 1 hackintosh box that you have for personal use but it choses not to (at least so far, but signs so far seem to suggest that they really don't care about homebrew).
What they *do* care *very much* about is people selling them on as ready made PCs with OS X installed, and you're right, there is no technical difference between the guy who does it to one machine for himself and the guy who does it to a hundred machines and sells them to his friends, but it's entirely up to Apple who it goes after for licence violations. It's not like a trademark issue where you must defend any breach or you risk losing the mark - they will probably have an economic vs brand protection chart where "personal use" becomes "hackintosh vendor" and you become a target.
Make no mistake though, you are always a target if you make a hackintosh - they just leave you alone because you're no threat to their business model. The NFL won't care if you tape the game, but it will care if you then sell that tape on ebay.
Ok, ok, bad analogy, the NFL will care very deeply if you tape the game and will froth and foam and rage about home taping taking the food out of the starving mouths of NFL players' children, but you see my point.
Even as a 13-year-old I was highly skeptical of those stories, not because of the technology or the distances or any of the practical difficulties, but because I knew that politics would never function to the point where a decision could have been reached, let alone acted upon.
That's not skepticism, that's cynicism. And if you thought that way when you were 13, you must have had a horrible childhood.
Yes, the country that didn't have the foresight and planning to have a new vehicle ready for the moment the space shuttle retires.
I think you misspelled "public interest and budget".
It has long been, and still remains, illegal to have a scanner capable of listening into police frequencies in a moving vehicle, at least everywhere that I have lived.
A lot of places, licensed amateur radio operators are exempt from that law.
What kind of self-respecting geek shops at "Sear's" (sic)?
Um, Craftsman tools? The only remaining semi-affordable Made in the USA (with the extra precision and reliability over bargain-basement imports, including a lifetime warranty) that that implies?
I get most of my tools at Harbor Freight, but if I want something I know will last (e.g. a socket wrench, because it's pretty lame when you break your only socket wrench while your car's engine is not fully assembled) I go with Craftsman.
This is irritating. I certainly won't be playing any games that implement this. I'm forced to be male despite being a woman IRL, and they want me to pay for the privelege in-game?! They'd at least better have shemale avatars. I pay good money for my meds.
I used to think this until I realized that I was paying Blizzard for the simulated experience of waiting for public transportation.
I could get a more immersive experience by putting on a troll mask and riding the subway. There are even some dialects of Chinese that sound a little like murloc. On the other hand I'd love for my IRL military training to count in call of duty.
If they didn’t know the girl very well and didn’t get the movie reference, it’s quite easy to understand why someone would take it literally.
You have to be especially careful when you’re kidding in print. It still has to be obvious that you’re joking even without the tone of your voice to tip people off.
Saying trespass is ok in certain situations is similar to saying stealing is ok in certain situations.
He wasn't trespassing! He walked up the driveway and knocked on the front door! You don't seriously think shooting him for that was acceptable do you?
As I said, there were NO THREATS MADE.
RTFA. Yes there were. Three separate people felt it was serious enough to suspend her temporarily and investigate. This was not an overreaction.
you still dont get it.
you are setting up a situation in which the machine gun is going to be much more superior. there are hundreds of yards in between the machinegun and its enemies, the enemies dont have weapons to hit him from that range, and they cant naturally close in.
it is little different from placing a rogue with no evasion ability 100 yards from an archer that has rapid shot. if you set it up that way, anything becomes a 'crowd control'. situation is not equal.
in a real life situation the infantry would have bazookas or grenade launchers to use against emplacements.
in ANY case, evne if they didnt, they would STILL be able to at least retreat and try to go around the emplacement, which was the method usually attempted in ww1, in the period where machinegun was dominant.
with crowd control concept in rpgs you cant do anything.
Me: "Hey programmer guy, we need a small program that does XYZ."
PHP guy: "Sure, I can square that away in one caffein-fueled night."
I'm not saying PHP is pretty or that it's better, but this sort of thing is a regular occurrence.
