I can't grasp the concept of people thinking lab grown meat is grosser then something that has been rolling in a field and tons of antibiotics jacked into it, etc. The logic escapes me.

NoSQL does have some advantages. If you have 2+GB of data in a relational database table and you wish to update a table doing some can take a long time during which your services will be down. Since non-relational databases allow for schema less data, you can simply add the extra column in the code and add code for what to do if the new column doesn't exist (i.e. old data) then deploy it with zero downtime.

These points don't really come into play until you have a huge dataset however so for most stuff I still recommend relational databases.

It's an unconvincing argument to make, as an nvidia user i've never needed to use support, it just works.

Sounds to me like "analysis paralysis", or at least typical management where people are too busy playing politics instead of trying to create something awesome.

Yes, that pretty much sums up the FSF for as long as I can remember.

It's like starbucks and coffee snobs.

Yet few argue about what Gandhi did for the world. It kills me to hear about people complaining about RMS's views on C++, on which he happens to be mostly right,

No, I take the 12+ year maintainer over the guy that hasn't done any serious coding in a decade (one liners to emacs lisp plugins don't count before you come back with that shit).

I think governments would definitely ban 3D printing and successfully before it becomes ubiquitous. Once everyone has a 3D printer then print what you want, but it only makes sense to probably hold off trying to print guns and other politically sensitive items knowing how ban happy governments can be. Once 3D printing becomes a political issue it will be banned in the US for sure due to the gun control and how it hurts industry and product distribution.

because politicians and privacy groups upset about cookie tracking went way overboard and fucked the web for everyone.

game except shoot, shoot, and more shooting....I'll stick with games like Skyrim, and Mass Effect.

So your complaint is that's it's an FPS and cite you'll be going back to RPGs? Seems like a perfectly valid complaint to me.. ugh..

I have mixed feelings about this because my experience of this went so well. I went from picking a character to kicking ass in less then 2 minutes.

It's not Sony. It's Sony Online Entertainment. It's a completely different company from the one that made the rootkit.

That is the problem I have with micro transactions in games, there is NOTHING micro about it. You can play for free... you just will die a lot unable to kill others because your gun does half the damage. If your lucky.

BS, play the game, the paid weapons do not offer a distinct advantage over the free ones except the rocket launcher for the flying vehicles in which case you have to give up extra after burner to fit them. This game is very balanced to the point where even though I have money i'm not going to bother buying weapons because they don't offer an advantage.

If you look at some of the weapons it's hard the argue that they're actually better anyway compared to the free weapons.

Yes, how dare they attempt to make money to keep the game everyone likes playing running. The assholes should be giving everything away for free!

The game is a true first-person shooter, using its MMO nature to bring a persistent world into play

uh what about planetside 1?
