True, but not for under 10 watts...
it's all about trade-offs.
And these are the people we want to trust making decisions about our healthcare?
I love C#. I program in it every day. It's plenty fast, and it's a great language.
However, there are two reasons I would suggest looking to another language.
First, the hottest market for gaming right now is mobile. While it's possible to compile C# for iPhone or Android using Xamarin (along with Windows and OS X), it's not exactly a native experience.
Second, C# (like O-C, C++, etc.) is a general programming language -- it's not in any way specific to the domain of game programming. So, while it's *possible* to design complex games in any modern language, you're probably going to spend *way* too much time dealing with silly stuff like tracking graphics resources and animation loops and simulated physics. You'll have a higher chance of success if you use a language and platform that is more game-specific out of the box.
I would suggest looking into Swift -- it'll give you access to the lucrative iOS market, it's C-like, and it has features that are game-specific. Sure, it's a new language it doesn't compile to Android, but by all accounts it looks like a great language with first-class support for gaming, so you can focus less on infrastructure code and more on the game.
Another option would be HTML5. Depending what sort of game you're looking to build, Javascript and HTML5 may be just the ticket, and there are a number of libraries that can abstract away browser differences and assist with the plumbing needed to make a game run.
They should just contact the NSA. I'm sure they've got copies.
Non-damaging to the drone
These inexpensive toy drones are pretty lightweight. I doubt a paintball *wouldn't* damage the drone...
The summary misses a key point. Yes they scan and store the entire book, but they are _NOT_ making the entire book available to everyone. For the most part they are just making it searchable.
Agreed that it's not in the summary, but as you correctly note, it's just a "summary". Anyone who reads the underlying blog post will read this among the facts on which the court based its opinion: "The public was allowed to search by keyword. The search results showed only the page numbers for the search term and the number of times it appeared; none of the text was visible."
So those readers who RTFA will be in the know.
But without anything like iTunes behind it.
Not having iTunes sounds like a feature...they should charge a premium.
This is why we still have HTTP with cookies, HTML, JavaScript and Flash rather than a new protocol.
Flash can be safely ignored, because it's going away.
That leaves HTTP, HTML, and Javascript.
A new protocol that did all the stuff as a transport protocol, markup language, and scripting language would be a bloated mess. There's a reason that the functionality is separated this way. People often use each of these technologies separately.
With variable length, no less
but why should I do all the work?
Not sure if this joke was intentional or not...
Which is amazing, considering that android apps are mostly emulated when they're run *on android*
Why not just write android apps? Why wait?
If you'd use both, you'd see that they are really not as similar as you'd think at first glance.
