I blame ethics in game journalism. Because bitches, man....

How long will it be before "scientists" say exactly the opposite again?

I've lived long enough to see everything become unhealthy and then healthy and then unhealthy again. And it's always based "on science".

The fact is, everything will kill you. That's why I only eat bacon, chocolate ice cream and bourbon whiskey. I may start smoking again, just to be ahead of the curve.

So, you're telling me the $300 I paid to the Journal of Experimental Onanism to publish my findings was a waste of money?

Damn. I've already printed up my CV and that paper is at the top of my list of publications. I suppose I should have been suspicious when I saw that the editors that were assigned to peer review my paper were Jack Meihoff and Richard Gazinya.

Yeah, what's up with that? I usually see at least a half-dozen JEs from you ever week. They're my excuse for drinking early.

$450 million is nothing to Apple. They find that much under the cushions on the sofas in the Apple lounge. They spend more than that every week on KY and poppers.

They can "plan" and "call for" all they want, but EU has no authority over a US company and banning it from doing business would violate trade treaties. They can certainly set rules for doing business that apply equally to all foreign and domestic players. Why don't they focus on that instead of useless and inflammatory rhetoric? It seems that Europe has it's own tea party.

As to "why" part, where is the lock in? All major browsers including Chrome support a choice of search engines. Internet Explorer has Bing as default and soon Firefox will default to Yahoo. It sounds like EU government wants to put interests of its own big businesses over personal choices of ordinary citizens. Again, same as US, but so sad.

Seems like a horrible and unusual experience. In a sane organization, getting fired would be a very extreme response to not participating in a single project. You will likely be transferred to something more to your liking. If it's your constant attitude, then yes you will have problems. But then how do you expect to work in a place if you can not make yourself useful?

The last thing you want to do is quickly release an application that people do not understand and that doesn't do what is needed. A delay in release is much preferable. Multiple prototypes and user studies may be needed to clarify those vague specs.

Yes, discipline is needed and indecision can be taken to extremes. But most apps/services fail because they have not been adequately thought through rather than by launching late.

Yeah, me too.

I'm pretty sure a DS is sort of an updated version of one of these things:

I already know what I'm gonna do with mine.

Boom, motherfuckers.

I can't speak to the accuracy of your argument or your citation, because I just don't know, but out of admiration, I'm going to end every one of my Thanksgiving political discussions with family members with "Boom, motherfuckers."

Firefox, with its marketing deals and in-browser ads is no longer "it". It would be great to have an independent project driver by developer enthusiasm rather than anyone's business needs. Linux kernel and many other projects manage that somehow. Only then the software can do uncompromisingly right things for users and web developers. Why silently pick one search engine when query can be submitted to several in parallel and user given a quick tool to compare results?

On developer side, we need a truly great and modern language rather then ever more arcane Javascript libraries and optimization engines.

This isn't so crazy.

I know for a fact that having a hot girl blow on my dice helps me make that eight the hard way.

I bought my XBox 360 for a third of that 4 years ago, it runs at 1920x1080.

No, it doesn't.

The native resolution of the XBox 360 is 720p. It can be upscaled to 1080i, but it's nowhere near as good as native 1080p.

Plus, Dragon Age Inquisition (the subject of this article) is not even available for XBox 360 and even on a brand new XBox One, it maxes out at 900p.

But I got tired of dropping $500 on a new videocard

Are you buying your video cards at Bloomingdales?

Right now, you can pick up an ASUS Geforce 970 for around $300. I guarantee you will still be playing all the AAA games on high in 2018.
