Steam switched to "NZ" dollars just before PC GTA V came out. Hence I haven't bought it from Steam. It is NZ$92.

Being NZ this seems to comprise:
- US component of US$60
- NZ dollar conversion: NZ$75
- NZ GST on $75 = $86
- Approx 10% sledge up just..because = $94

My forumla seems to approximately apply. I subscribe to a proxy for US Netflix. I cant seem to work around the Steam thing. It would appear some sites like Netflix turn a blind eye to proxies.

I haven't bought GTA V. I don't want it *that* much.

And should be able to make sandwiches.

"New York's Attorney General says his office will take 'appropriate action' if the data is handed over." So...the data cannot be sold as a single asset, but presumably is ok if bundled with a business as a going concern ala Facebook purchasing whatsApp primarily for the customer phone numbers.

Having been through carless days in the 70's, it is trivial to make evens and odds on alternate days, with maybe Fridays as all allowed. Alienating one group (evens) makes it personal.

Good point.

Not stopping for a police officer who has spotted your autonomous car, and is confused, resentful, and god-fearin' might get you free air-conditioning via several dozen bullet holes.

"...who broadcast complex floating point operations and algorithm design to the rest of the world..." IE live coding like a tech presentation.

Not for much longer now the cat is out of the bag.

Twitch is not a replacement for Justin.tv. Justin.tv not financially viable. Game streaming is, hence twitch.tv

From Twitch Rules: "Non-gaming, non-music content: Video games, board games, card games, fantasy sports, LARP games, and acceptable music content (see above). And while it's nice to take a break and just chill out with your audience, please ensure that your channel's primary focus is on gaming or music creation."

Me Charms are gone! (*said in Irishest of accents)

Hover or mouseover is broken in 35. Something very haywire.

Robonaut, you got new legs!

Quite a few games and systems use the twitch api to stream games. Minecraft is one. Xbox is another. Microsoft will be forced to start their own "windows 8 mobile" version of a twitch.tv.

I believe Google was genuine in their attempts to scope this idea. What Google did get was a lesson in port authorities and waterside workers. The so called secrecy flies in the face of the two traditional groups. Port Authorities do not give up regulatory power, and the workers do not tolerate secrecy. If Google thought this would have been like a land based data center in Oregon or some such place they were sorely mistaken.

Jack was a top rate Kinzler. He will be sorely missed.

True, but some positives did arise from it. Long time Chatrouletter Rich "Tripod" Benson did find romance leading to marriage. Coincidentilly to an NSA'er.

A good hotelier conducts his/her business knowing that a percentage of the clients are there when they shouldn't be, and with who they shouldn't be.

While one could debate ethics, it is reasonable that the client expects privacy as part of the service.

Cameras at restaurants where clients are there when they shouldn't be, and with who they shouldn't be, blows the business out of the water.

Just one headline would be damaging.

I once saw a crowdsourced dance at a foodcourt that went viral. I saw a work collegue in it who was on holiday. All legit but there he was, at the right place at the other side of the world and at the right time.

He'll get his boat back. More worryingly this was the third attempt at delivery. It broke down *twice* before and had to return to the manufacturer when attempts were made to deliver. A bigger entity really does not want him to have his boat! Boats breaking down is serious. You evade storms in a working boat.
