Then by definition, that would not be the same chapter... it would be a new chapter that is reusing the old name.

They vowed that African-Americans will "never" be allowed to join the campus chapter, and they stayed true to that vow by getting the chapter closed down.

Not that for a second I condone such attittudes, just saying that from a purely literalist standpoint, they certainly weren't lying.

Honestly, if it weren't *THAT* much higher than any of the other feature requests, I might even buy that as plausible.... but when it has more votes than the next six most popularly voted for issues combined??? With that kind of gap, it is almost certain that they are getting more direct requests for that feature than they are for any other feature as well.

I mean it's POSSIBLE that the feature requests forum is entirely orthogonal to any unbiased random sampling of unity users, but there's no particular reason to suppose that were true. Given that their entire comment itself which said that they cared about democracy actually only tied it in with the notion of keeping costs down to increase the number of people that could utilize it, I am inclined to think that the folks at Unity Technologies just don't actually know what the word "democracy" means.

... of asking somebody else to take a picture of you at some location.

Some would argue that they have the added benefit of not requiring you to actually be in any way sociable with those around you.

You and several others have been pointing this out to me... so it appears that some things have changed. I will have to check it out in more detail later.

Looks like trying to do any team development, even for a very tiny team of two or three people might still not be possible, however.... it looks like the personal edition might still be a headache for sharing of assets even between just two people.

Of course, but then why bother tallying "votes" for an issue at all?

FTA:

"Deep in Unity's culture is the principle of Democracy. "

I laughed out loud when I read that.

In the feature requests feedback forum, making the editor available for Linux is vastly more popular than any other feature request for Unity,. beating out the next most popular by about a factor of 4, and Unity Technologies has publicly stated that they have absolutely no plans on ever porting their editor tools to Linux.

If that's the business decision they are comfortable with, that's one thing, but considering that in the article where they are bragging about how they are promoting democracy by tying it in with how the product was being priced, rather than what people have actually said that they want, I'm pretty sure that I can safely conclude the developers at Unity do not have the foggiest idea what the word "democracy" actually means.

If you even want to *make* products that are practical in any kind of general sense, it isn't free. In my experience, the personal edition is quite seriously feature limited from what you get with the professional edition, and isn't really practical for anything beyond introductory hobbyist level experimentation... to become at least familiar with its capabilities. I can't imagine any serious developer not outgrowing the personal edition and being frustrated by what the professional edition can do that the personal edition cannot within their first year of Unity development, if not a whole lot less time than that. And that might be long before you've ever made a dime of profit.

...There are no royalty payments associated with it either. It costs money for the professional tier but the engine has the same feature set.

No, the personal edition does not have the same feature set.

Other than what this article links to, who else has suggested that Unity 5 was free?

I completely agree that DST should be abolished, but time zones themselves are still useful, since they still (generally) measure the time relative to when the sun comes up locally. If I run a nation-wide call center that services calls from all over the country, and routes each call to a local answering center, I can say that my hours are 9 am to 5 pm local time. and regardless of where someone is intending to call from, they will know what the local time is, and therefore know whether or not anyone will answer the phone or if their call will be directed to a recording that informs them of the business hours and maybe gives them an option to leave a message. If there were just one time zone, then I couldn't just say "9 to 5, monday to friday, local time"... I would have to say between between 1700 and 0100 gmt on the west coast, 1800 and 0200 gmt if you leave in the midwest, 2000 and 0300 gmt if you live in central usa, and 2100 to 0400 if you live on the east coast. Which is easier?

Also, how well would the date changing for a lot of people in the middle of their day work?

They don't owe you money if you refuse to accept cash... but neither do they owe you the services or goods for which you may have wanted to pay for in cash... in which case they are typically asked for immediately in advance of such services rendered or goods exchanged.

I don't think the parody exemption for copyrighed works applies to things protected by trademark, which I wouldn't be surprised if the Power Rangers are.

Then you have the low end shovelware crap being made with the likes of Unity 3D. Although their days are numbered now they got greedy and chose to screw over devs.

Really? What have they done?

I always wondered how the heck a pair of glasses could make it impossible for everyone around him to realize that he was Superman...
