Source was never "awesome". idtech4 came out before it, for christ's sake.
Source is saddled with tiny maps/levels that are exceedingly slow to load. The graphics are OK but seem to require hardware that is capable of producing much better results using other engines like CryEngine or UE3. Finally, and this is changing now, but it was targeted way too strongly into DirectX.
Minor quibble: the IOS mobile authenticator app won't run in the simulator because the IOS sim is not an emulator. You need to compile an app specifically for the sim.
The Android sim is actually a full-fledged emulator and so can run any app, but is obviously much less performant because of that.
An NPC is definitely not a bot. Bots are PCs being controlled by macros and/or programs.
The most common bot you see is one that queues for PVP battleground, but then just targets another friendly player and follows them around to soak up participation/victory points.
More sophisticated ones fly around the world gathering resources by actually being programmed with the location of resource node spawns and enough logic to be able to determine if they're present, click on them if so, then move to the next.
Oh, and I can't believe I forgot Andrew Bolt. Whether you hate him or not, if there was truly free speech he would have been fine.
No we don't. Look at the guys who get fined for making anti-Israel protests or who make racist jokes on youtube.
If people are merging on and off that much then the speed limit doesn't matter one bit because the conditions will dictate it rather than the sign.
Which is exactly what the GP says in his post.
Look into how the High-DPI scaling works. It's still sharp.
They get a plus from me for splitting the numpad + key, but a minus for keeping 4 meta keys to the right of the spacebar and another for not putting the lights into the respective lock keys.
If they would only have some real media keys, then I'd get one.
Using the same logic, driving while impaired is only considered a crime because you may end up killing someone - hence we should decriminalize driving while impaired and only arrest people when they run over and kill someone - which is the real crime.
Yes, that's correct.
The block of wood story was actually about John Sculley's jacket pocket and the Newton development.
People in Australia got retardedly-high feed-in rates (ie. every kWh they feed into the grid provides a power bill rebate of ~50c compared to every kWH they pull out of the grid costing them ~15c) as well as state and federal government subsidies that made the cost of the panels extremely low to begin with. The blow out in costs was several hundred million in my state alone.
Without either of those things the ROI is much, much longer. You can check it out yourself now that they've ended.
There are no forced updates on iPhones.
Not that I support Apple's IOS versions making older phones unusably slow, which did happen.
You're confusing your bit depths.
TN monitors are typically 6 bits of colour per channel, not IPS.
IPS monitors have the "full" 8 bits of colour per channel.
CRTs had the same "full" 8 bits of colour per channel. "32 bit" was always a bit of a furphy because 3x8=24.
Don't forget Win+Shift+[Left|Right] to snap a window instantly between screens.
The GPL is not a software licence and it would not have been affected at all by a pro-Psystar ruling in this case.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
