Wow that's all sorts of gay.
Aerobraking on return to Earth would expose them to 10G of acceleration and that could even be immediately fatal.
by the time they get back they surely could take the space elevator down, right? right.
I don't play the game, but these guys just forfeited 2% of their profits. And you're saying "about time"?
they mostly did it for the greater space good, but if you wanna be a jew about it I'm sure GTC/PLEX sales will offset that lost revenue (not profit) pretty soon. the farmers were not only raping server resources, but were also competitors.
The Source engine typically produces scenes which more closely resemble the real world. Which is its primary problem. People are playing games to escape the real world.
I thought people play games to have fun. you make it sound like everyone lives in a fucking turkish prison.
also, TFA and the thread are discussing engine features not visual styles. you not liking Valve's art deparment doesn't make the source engine a bad engine. and speaking of artsy fartsy, HL2/Portal/TF2/L4D look very good esthetically speaking. visual style, props, settings are all top notch.
Unless Valve take steps to add such capabilities to the engine and, more importantly, develop a game that demonstrates those capabilities, the Source engine is going to be left behind over the next 3 years.
I really don't see how adding neon lights (to sum up your post) would make their engine/games any better.
but in-house tech genious to tech genious, I wonder what kinds of conversations they are looking forward to with Carmack.
I imagine Carmack would laugh at them for using third party engines while flexing his awesome nerd muscles.

Text messaging is actually just one service of the SMS bearer, and it can also used for sending binary content like configuration messages.
this is correct, I've had the (mis)fortune of working with OTA provisioning in the past, and you can do some pretty crazy things to people's handsets. and because of the hugely incompatible standards and models out there not all will require the user's confirmation.
Before the iPhone came about putting apps onto a phone was annoying and awkward for the average user. You had to download the
all the apps on my Nokia have been installed by "clicking" on links from the browser. I never had to do any of the crazy shit you're talking about. it even has a thingy that lets me browse various categories of applications and install them with one click (kind of... like... an appstore... HOLY SHIT!). I never even have to plug the damn thing to transfer stuff because of bluetooth.
That's the difference between a study and an uneducated guess.
I can confirm his finds. I have studied these things extensively.
