The point is to standardize the system. For example, will the walking dead play on my sister's 4 year old laptop if I give it to her this christmas?
I had the privilege of trying to install stream from behind a hotel firewall/router. Still doesn't work. Would download at under 16 kb/sec and there is hundreds of megs to download. I seen to recall that this is because it only uses a single tcp connection when there is a firewall and basically steam wasn't designed with this in mind. Remember, steam is fundamentally a web browser and file downloader. I know a few games where the stream based server browser also is very spotty. Firewall/NAT issues are pretty common, so if valve is aiming for mainstream then they have so far failed miserably. You need system administrator privileges to get stream to work.
Why stop at 10? I can think of 21 points on my male body to poke the screen with.
Has half as much ram as my work laptop and twice as much as my cell phone. Since a lot of games already reach 2 gigs easily this again will be the wii u downfall when it comes to porting games across consoles.
With flash memory dirt cheap and hdd even cheaper I'd say I'm surprised they went skimpy on the storage except it's nintendo so I'm not surprised at all. With consoles as old as they are is it really that hard to imagine not having one concession?
They are the same thing. Lot of job titles are software development engineer so that they get applicants who call themselves one or the other.
Better question is what constitutes a senior engineer...

Ut2004 is a chaotic game. Very bot friendly especially since you never see a player's perspective (judging was done in game using a tag gun). I'd be more impressed if a bot could recreate the muscle memory twitch and intelligence of a counterstrike player via the first person perspective.
I agree, most "CS" or software engineering jobs are actually IT jobs, and most IT jobs seem to require a lot of depth in someone else's technology or a series of technologies. It doesn't help that companies don't let you do your own on the job training. Most CS graduates with proven job experience can learn anything if you give them the chance.
Maybe there wouldn't be such a mercenary culture if companies wouldn't all conglomerate in Seattle or San Fran. $90k can go really really far in most of the US.
Stupid swype, evaluation should be evaporation
There's no way the planet got to where it was without a cooling mechanism. More cloud cover is likely one. More heat means more evaluation means more clouds. The ice caps don't cool the planet, they help keep the temperature stable.
As earth heats up, cooling mechanisms should increase. It's not instantaneous of course. Until the cooling mechanisms outpace the heating mechanisms, ice is going to keep melting year after year. The speed ice melts probably has more to do with surface area, ice depth, and cloud cover more than ambient temperature.
Yes there is, because you could create it on demand rather than carrying the gases with you all the time.
