If you have to subsidize it, then it ain't culture; it's history.
Like the lord of the rings film? NZ$300 million in subsidies. Iron man 3 got $20m.

There is no judgement involved at all. A developing country needs a growing population, spreading homosexual behavior and AIDS shrinks the population. Just cold hard fact.
There are only so many places you can do that, and they're mainly tapped, at least in the developed world.
The tiny truck went out of vogue in the US for reasons unknown to me.
I think the explanation is pretty simple: the vast majority of pickup trucks and SUVs these days are bought as status symbols and rolling penis substitutes, not as work vehicles.
..are you guys serious? carrying capacity of F150 is 450 kilos? or 500 kilos? what kind of ton are we talking about anyways?
because if it is, wtf? calculated how?? what kind of fucking work can you do with it then??
aren't both of them used in usa mainly for commuting?-D
but it is a laugh that they're trying to sell aluminium use in a car as a revolution..."work" car or not.
and half a ton? come on man, you can move half a ton in a FUCKING A2.
was going to say a beetle but A2 is more relevant I suppose(and yes a properly specced F150 could carry that A2)... steel is just easier to work with and we all know how much american auto industry hates to re-tool since they believe in the ford model of doing business... especially ford.
This is going to play in the midwest about as well as if the government suddenly decided to outlaw beef. F-150's/Silverado's/Sierra's/Ram's are basically standard issue for men aged 18-55 in the midwest, and the commercials are right, F-150's dominate. Chevy/GMC/Dodge are going to have a field day with this.
The fact that Ford is jumping into this with the F-150 too, and not testing it out on a lesser model first, is just staggering.
That is all.
It's impossible. Great for dealerships though as you will be required to have all the 'work' done by them, and by 'work' we mean large scale replacement of body panels replete with specialized welding equipment that none of the slacktards know how to use.
it looks like indies & older titles mostly.
but yeah, it's the publishers donating the money.. unless "profit" means just that they're giving their "profit margin" on it away, the blurb wasn't really clear about that, but should just say "donating games" if they're donating the games totally(since hey, the profit margin % is pulled out of the ass with products like this, it's not like it's milk or something they have a definite buy in value on..).
(OK OK, I read it, "Games are donated by supporting developers and publishers. " on the site, so yeah, they're donating the games/money. however, some of are using it as an advertising venue as well, duh, like fuck I wanna buy 2XP time for a deathmatch game..).
huh.. stasi did a lot of "meaningful" things.
just not any good things.
but there is a law, if the budget of the one who is controlling secrets is a secret, then his budget will be unlimited - and that has consequently ends up being more expensive than it is worth, but it takes the state to crumble to expose that, since where the money is going is a secret.
they weren't trying to match the specs capabilities.
they were _trying_ to match the components 1:1, but failed at even that remarkably. but it did lead them to use 3400 bucks gpu's rather than something on the same spec capability level. those two fucking cards make up more than half of the price!
because apple sure isn't paying 3400 bucks for it's version of the amd chips in the fire version of theirs..
sure there is.
but it's shit, duh, and unless there's some text in there the numbers end up being displayed as blobs.
hieroglyphs suck ass because they're harder to read than a good text is...
The only problem with this is if you use it for gaming. VM = No go for GPU support
