sold at it's RRP then.
God forbid if you have to be the IT grunt that has to explain data loss from a document that wasn't saved prior to them going home.
That's a pretty easy explanation. 'You lost your work because you didn't save it before going home, you idiot. Even if the machines don't get auto restarted expect them to crash at any instant and save often'
Ditto, warned people away, even bought my friend cs:go after I initially had him buy BF4, so we could still play together
You evil, evil bastard.
I kind of have a hard time feeling sorry for people who bought BF4, the pattern was there clear as day. Caveat Emptor as they say.
Hey, when it works bf4 is completely awesome and brilliant. It's just a shame it only works about 10% of the time. But they consider the game fixed enough to add in customisation on parachutes yet the 'kin game never saves your loadouts (at least it don't on the xbone)
Reinforcing an already existing ban was to make sure foreign markets don't try to muscle in and sell direct.
What happened to the American mantra of competition is good? capitalism forever and all that. Or is it now we can compete against you but you can't compete against us?
The government's just hungary for money.
They'd better Czech how much they can make.
I am a doctor in real life and so is my wife.
I'm Brian, and so is my wife.
The only thing responsible for a "lack of women coders" is that fewer women than men are interested in software development as a career path. So what? I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why this is a problem, why this is something to be concerned about, or why millions of dollars are being thrown around in an attempt to change the situation.
ummmm,errrrrr, well, you see, because....equality? Yeah that's it.
As a quick stats update, to date Microsoft has received over 250,000 pieces of feedback through the Windows Feedback tool, 25,381 community forum posts, and 641 suggestions in the Windows Suggestion Box.
And like and good corp they will ignore every single one and do whatever the fuck they want anyway.
The article is not saying that nerds are not welcoming women. But.. there are some really bad examples of women in technology being treated really badly. Look at some of the latest gaming activism against female game journalists. If you really want to look behind the surface on what happened, it is thoroughly disgusting.
I think that's more to do with the fact the main pusher of that doesn't know shit about games and is talking out of her arse and any gamer can see it. But because her videos have some half decent production values and lots of big words everyone else eats it up. And we are all accused of sexism when we try and point it out. Yes there are some bad apples helping to prove their 'point' but that is true of everything.
Yes, it is an insignificant figure considering they said they would get $184 million. Do the math, that's less than a quarter of what they said they would get (21.7% to be exact).
But thank you for playing and proving my point of people's hypocrisy when it comes to something they don't like (red light cameras) and things they do like (legalizing marijuana).
When something you don't like doesn't meet its expectation it's a complete and utter failure. When something you do like doesn't meet it's expectation it still got something.
Look again and you'll see I never said a word about speed cameras, just that $40 million is a shit load of cash in anyone's book, or at least it should be.
Colorado made a big deal of how much money they would take in by legalizing marijuana. They, the state, predicted they would take in $184 million in the first year and now it looks like they'll be lucky to hit $40 million.
Wow only $40 million? What an insignificant figure
Australian Physicists Build Reversible Tractor Beam
No they didn't. Not even remotely.
the ANU tractor beam relies on the energy of the laser heating up the particles and the air around them
Exactly. If I built a system that deployed a wheeled robot controlled by RF signals to drive over to something and push it toward me, that would be as much of a "tractor beam" as this is.
If you did it without the robot and only used the rf beam in some way sure. This may not be a true tractor beam but at least it is a beam and it does tract. So your remote controlled fetchbot is just that. Did they say in Star Trek "use the tractor beam" to which some red shirt gets in a shuttle to get whatever they wanted?
