which they don't have, so this is only going to end up with frenzied REEEEEEEEEEEEEEing from one group or another. It is going to be hilarious if you don't give a shit.

Why waste time turning air into water when we already have the holy grail of turning air into alcohol?

When you come from a lower income you are quite possibly the first and only person from your family to go to University, or maybe even finish high school. Even after doing well in High School you have no clue what to expect, and no reference points. The idea that even as a graduate you may be paid more than your parents combined is hard to get your head around for doing something you enjoy studying.
Having to do part time work to cover the costs your parent cannot doesn't help, but more than anything else there is the nagging doubt that you shouldn't be there and should go do manual labour and retail like your family was raised to do. You wonder when you will get caught and told to go back where you came from, so you tend to keep your head down and not make best use of the support systems the Uni already has in place for everybody.

You just got to be a stubborn bastard and keep at it, but any encouragement does go a long way since you just don't know how the system works.

It is built on predicate logic and algebra. Anybody who successfully learns to be a competent programmer knows a lot more maths than they realise, they just have not learnt it as a discrete topic that they are able to name the parts of. It is maths, unless you want to go old-old-school and lump it back into philosophy, then you can call it arts.

Totally, the smallpox mutated dinosaurs are going to be unstoppable.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

fuck beta!

Can we get a shock collar for timothy, to encourage him to RTFA a bit closer before posting summaries :) Just a little shock... not too often...

But seriously, I was here at the start and I would like to have a reason to come back to /. It got taken off my start page and into a once a week catchup folder a few years ago. Can you take Taco out of cryo storage and reboot him? Mind you, the patch list would be a total bastard.

They were billing the government/military, everything had an extra zero added to the end of the cost.

A difference here is that Frontiers Developments are Europe based and bound by the consumer protections there. Things that cannot be signed away or over ridden by what KS saying in their terms.

They made a number of unambiguous statements that the mode would be available and these are almost certainly binding. Such as this 1 week before the KS closed.

That is strong grounds for a refund and they really do not want to get the consumer protection regulators involved, or generate bad will for release day reviews. The KS may have funded development, but additional sales are needed to keep the servers running and review score will decide if that happens since it is not planned to be a subscription game.
The game looks great but I will still be surprised if they are in the very small % of server based games that still have their servers online a couple of years later.
