Yes, "Degrees of Freedom" defines the number of ways a rigid body can move in three dimensional space... so in this case rotate x, rotate y, rotate z, translate x, translate y, translate z.

This isn't a school where there is a mandatory graduation/etc. People enter and leave development projects all the time. In this case life priority differences got in the way of them continuing on Star Citizen (they didn't want to move to LA). If there were problems/bad blood why would Chris Roberts publicize their new kickstarter? They are neither drop-outs, nor rejects... they are game developers who moved onto a new project.

I think the fun part is it isn't just a 32x32 maximum, you can subdivide it and have 4 or 8 teams so 8 teams of 8 could be fun as hell.

Huh?

I use Pandora when I'm in my car, at the gym, or running, and quite a bit of mobile web. I use a good 4-5GB every month. That's WITHOUT using any YouTube or Skype or SlingBox or anything bandwidth-hungry like that.

If AT&T has a problem with that, they can give me my $60/mo back.

This is exactly the kind of reaction which is causing the hubbub but has no basis. If you happened to switch to the 2GB plan (which right now you dont have to)... given your usage numbers above you would be spending between 45-55/mo which is cheaper than the 60/mo you are spending now. 2GB for 25USD/mo + 10USD per 1GB after that so 4GB = 25+20=45 and 5GB = 25+30=55.
