I have no intention of War-Stephen66515 (August 22, 2011, 04:32 PM)

If thats aimed at me, I had zero intention of causing any offense by leaving the title in place. This was NOT written by me (Except the little laugh about their website). This is how I Always Share website quotes, leaving the original title to be used as the title for my post.-Stephen66515 (August 22, 2011, 04:16 PM)
thanks Stephen for that clarification, I didnt want to be offensive myself or start another war or anything
btw I'm not personally offended by it but do find it offensive - if that makes sense (living in Germany you start to realise how big the guilt stick is and to see things from a different perspective). FWIW I would have put it in quotes myself to show they're not my words...-tomos (August 22, 2011, 04:27 PM)
Absolutely outrageous and unacceptable.
I predict the pushback on this is going to be so severe that it is reversed within days if not hours.
Just wrong on so many levels -- not to mention it's going to result in freeware authors reputations being harmed as users blame them for something cnet is doing.
It's just so far outside of acceptable behavior -- the outrage is going to be withering. I give cnet 24 hours before they completely abandon this and being an apology tour.-mouser (August 22, 2011, 04:16 PM)
wheeling out comparisons to Nazis and Hitler when talking about the Facebook like button is ridiculous and an insult to the victims of the Nazis and World War II. Out of proportion even when compared to the arbitrary laws the nazis made...-iphigenie (August 21, 2011, 04:17 PM)
it's an insult to everyone, Germans as well (but of course that's the tabloids main intention, and isn't it great to have someone to insult when you have such a big guilt stick to beat them with if they object, & who gives a toss if 90% of them weren't even born then etc etc)
and as for quoting it with title, seems to me like just saying/doing the same thing...-tomos (August 22, 2011, 04:00 PM)
This really pisses me off since some of my software is listed on that site and now has this extra setup garbage. FWIW, I have never submitted any of my software to ANY site other than my own.-skwire (August 22, 2011, 02:53 PM)
Wow! Did not know they were going around grabing things at random. Good to know, thanks.-Stoic Joker (August 22, 2011, 04:03 PM)
I will say, their inbuilt video recorder is pretty nice and the fact you can jump into "Game-Mode" within the editor and actually run around your creation using whatever objects you have put in. That, coupled with the "Live Physics/AI" option you get while using the editor (Which I suggest NEVER turning on until you place everything nicely on the ground, because if you don't, things {destroyable things} will fall to the floor quicker than you can catch them, and have a tendency to explode and break).-Stephen66515 (August 22, 2011, 10:56 AM)
Unity has a feature like this. At any time (as long as your code has no compile-time errors) you can jump into "Game Mode" and run around and test things out. The neat thing about this is that any changes you make while in Game Mode are undone when you return to edit mode. This allows your objects to fall to the ground and break or for you to tweak values to test them out and then when you're done just return to "Edit Mode" and the things that fell to the ground and broke will be back in their original condition and position.-Deozaan (August 22, 2011, 11:06 AM)
you simply CANNOT share your work with ANYBODY-Stephen66515 (August 18, 2011, 10:23 PM)
I'm curious: why is this? I tried looking on that forum, but I didn't see anything jumping out to me describing why I cannot share anything.
I had seen this and had thought about playing with it, so I would really appreciate you describing the issues you've had.-NinJA999 (August 22, 2011, 12:53 AM)
I could tell it was Stephen because I recognized his writing style. Maybe I need to stop using IRC so much.-Deozaan (August 22, 2011, 09:53 AM)
When we have BC's next destination, someone send me the address so i can send a pack of CodyCards to meet him.-mouser (August 21, 2011, 04:10 AM)
One typically rambunctious UK tabloid labelled the current German administration as “The Fourth Reich” last week – and a German state is playing its part by banning the Facebook “Like” button from all websites in its jurisdiction.
The Eurozone financial crisis has produced far-reaching recommendations from the Germans and France which will impact upon the entire EU, prompting the always over-the-top Daily Mail to carry a headline hailing the arrival of the Fourth Reich.
One of the characteristics of Hitler’s regime – apart from the millions of executions, of course – was the arbitrary outlawing of run-of-the-mill activities such as reading certain books or listening to a particular type of music.
And while the latest thing to be banned in one part of Germany may not exactly be a 21st century echo of that time, it does appear to be an arbitrary decision to clamp down on something people all across the world might look upon as one small definition of freedom – the ability to “Like” something on Facebook.
As well as encouraging the public at large to avoid Facebook, the state of Schleswig-Holstein has ordered all government offices to remove the Like button from their websites and take down any Facebook fan pages.
Why? Because the overlords there see Facebook’s data-gathering technique as a violation of German and European data privacy laws.
Anyone who doesn’t comply is liable to face a €50,000 fine.
Still, it beats a one-way ticket to hell, eh?
