I’ve played video games for most of my life and got into this research because I couldn’t believe that violent video games could make me do something I didn’t want to do, that is, be aggressive. My attitude has changed somewhat. These days I find it totally plausible that violent video games could influence people’s behavior, but the real question is whether their influence is harmful, and I’m not yet convinced of that.
Aren't Android apps written in Java syntax with a Google version of the JVM?
Zynga's lucky he treated the barrage with a sense of humour.
He could have easily gone into "rant mode" about how people got his email address, torn a strip off them, and pissed off their customer base right royally.
No surprise that Zynga screwed up, though. They're kind of famous for doing that -- as well as ripping off other designer's game ideas.
The US harmed itself with it's egregious spying.
All Snowden did is expose the bullshit. He didn't cause the bullshit. That's squarely on the backs of the NSA and the US government's "secret" legislation.
Agreed. It kills me that one has to shell out $1,495 to get Quantrix Financial Modeler to have that sort of interface w/ the numbers, and it's still bizarre to me that Lotus Improv didn't succeed.
Actually, the UI for Lotus Improv was quite nice and won some awards.
Its (spiritual) successor, Quantrix Financial Modeler seems to be selling well enough, even w/ a $1,495 price point.
I wish that Flexisheet (an opensource take on this sort of thing) would get more traction.
Configure all of your devices to proxy HTTP and HTTPS traffic through that intercepting proxy.
If your device does not complain about your self-signed certificate enabled HTTPS proxy, then there is something seriously rotten security-wise
If you can load your self-made CA cert onto the device and explicitly tell it to trust any cert issued by that CA, then everything is fine. Obviously if you don't do that, a MITM attack should cause scary warnings.
So maybe Apple or Motorola or someone do have a copy of the infamous Rob Ford Smoking Crack video in their archives.
Only the worst of Java-script heavy pages slow down on modern hardware with any of the browsers. 99.999% of the time the "slow" is because of AJAX queries to an unresponsive website, and there is bugger all the browser can do about that.
I tweak code performance beyond reasonableness, too. It's a "hacker thing." But it's not something the user can really see or notice once the first rounds of tuning are done, though. But there's an ego involved in producing the best and fastest code possible, even if no one else can tell the difference without a nanosecond stopwatch.
Wait for the DVD or Blu-Ray to come out and watch it at home without all the annoyances.
I don't understand why anyone still goes to a theatre today with all the rude behaviour from the audience. You can't enjoy a movie at the theatre any more.
