Thanks - I wonder why it doesn't show up in the "All Deals" or "Free Deals" pages?-mwb1100 (July 23, 2012, 02:58 PM)
Given your usual approach to all things Windows I am somewhat surprised that you even had stock in Microsoft.-Carol Haynes (July 23, 2012, 10:11 AM)
Three survivors of the Colorado movie-theater massacre escaped with minor wounds, but were left with broken hearts because their heroic boyfriends died saving them.
In final acts of valor, Jon Blunk, Matt McQuinn and Alex Teves used their bodies to shield their girlfriends as accused madman James Holmes turned the Aurora cineplex into a shooting gallery.
Blunk’s girlfriend, Jansen Young; McQuinn’s girlfriend, Samantha Yowler; and Teves’ gal pal Amanda Lindgren made it out of the bloodbath — but they would have been killed had it not been for the loves of their lives.
Hmm. I'm mostly okay with avoiding religion, but "politics" is becoming harder to avoid, because it's starting to cross over into requiring the educational services of techies (which is what you are) or techie-wannabes (me!) to form the coalitions necessary to stop the rabid new Big Brother pushes. Some of the best posts I've yet seen on these topics are here, starting to edge out Slashdot, my prior go-to zone.-TaoPhoenix (July 21, 2012, 12:08 PM)
How can you disagree with someone personally preferring something for their own use?

By using words.-Tuxman (July 19, 2012, 08:12 AM)
1. We use scratch projects, often having no more than main() to try out stuff. Or we just checkout to a different working folder. And the degree of modularisation in our system is very high, so we can work on just a specific part of it.-phitsc (July 19, 2012, 02:53 AM)
3. VS has Find All References (Shift + F12) which works very well. Its more the presentation of the information that is lacking.-phitsc (July 19, 2012, 02:53 AM)
4. Totally agree. That's what I meant with 'some of it already done'. Again, it's the presentation of the information and the way to get to it that doesn't work.-phitsc (July 19, 2012, 02:53 AM)
I'm not against innovation, quite the contrary actually. Nevertheless, I think VS still has potential for huge improvements with real productivity gains, without having to throw everything over board. But with release cycles every two years I just think the improvements don't come fast enough.-phitsc (July 19, 2012, 02:53 AM)
Hey! Be nice to the newcomers.-40hz (July 18, 2012, 06:38 PM)
Just possibly Noteliner?-rjbull (July 17, 2012, 04:24 PM)
well said, though i don't think people who have't used the ipad for some time will be able to appreciate how awful this restriction is. it is a very artificial and painful limitation that you eventually come to really resent, and it's a major drawback of the apple devices.-mouser (July 15, 2012, 09:03 PM)
I wish i could do something about google and yahoo sending the newsletter to spam, but as you might expect, big companies like that don't care about us or what we want. It's their world and they make the rules.Tis why I only use my POP3 service on my ISP. Most all are completely configurable in how they treat your email, right down to a whitelist.....-mouser (July 11, 2012, 12:08 PM)-Tinman57 (July 12, 2012, 09:13 PM)
| OUYA: A New Kind of Video Game Console | |
 | |
| Goal | $950,000 ($4,176,987 as of this posting) |
| End Date | 2012-08-09 |
| Project Creator(s) | OUYA - who is Julie Uhrman has been in games for a long time, at Vivendi Universal, IGN, GameFly, and other places. Yves Behar is the award-winning designer of Jambox, One Laptop per Child, and many others. There are plenty of other people involved, but some of them would get fired if we tell you who they are. |
| Excerpt | It's time to upend console gaming. Let’s open this sucker up! It's time we brought back innovation, experimentation, and creativity to the big screen. Let’s make the games less expensive to make, and less expensive to buy. With all our technological advancements, shouldn't costs be going down? Gaming could be cheaper! We're handing the reins over to the developer with only one condition: at least some gameplay has to be free. We borrowed the free-to-play model from games like League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, Triple Town, and many others. Developers can offer a free demo with a full-game upgrade, in-game items or powers, or ask you to subscribe. OUYA: The revolution will be televised OUYA is a new game console for the TV, powered by Android. We've packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to OUYA's open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer. Best of all, OUYA's world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try. |
