In my experience, most people are too excited to even be playing the beta to engage in any sort of cheating. There was one guy, out of all the thousands of people who were playing, who was definitely cheating. He had invincibility. It was just the one guy though. In fact, when it does get released and people don't have to worry about losing access in 24 hours, we might even see more cheating since more people will have the time to explore those options.
I honestly don't care if they have not solved the c10k-equivalent problem, or any problem. I just care that they made an extremely fun experience possible.
Seems to me that when you're dealing in money, you don't want to assume that the card factory shuffled the deck before shipping. I know that I would want to secure my investment, so why not shuffle it again before playing?
I wonder if the author was aware of Patient R before he wrote the article. Patient R is a man who had extensive brain damage to three areas of his brain considered critical for awareness, but who was still demonstrably self-aware. Patient R challenges the assumption that certain brain regions are necessary for awareness or even consciousness, and some see this as supporting the theory that awareness, consciousness, and other higher level mental processes are distributed throughout the brain instead of localized in specific regions.
If consciousness is a distributed phenomenon, how developed does the brain need to be before consciousness arises? Why does consciousness persist in the wake of traumatic brain injury, especially in exceptional cases of hydrocephalus?
We'd like to make it easy and say, "this region controls this, this region controls that, and tada, consciousness," but nature is just not that easy. If it was, the string theorists would have falsifiable predictions that would have been proven or disproven by now.
I think when you buy Apple products expecting the quality you get from Apple products, wanting the headphones to be high-quality is not unreasonable. Why does he even care about the Apple headphones? Because he wants them to be better, and one of the more important aspects for a headphone in his opinion is physically embedded markings.
I have to agree. If they're not physically engraved, eventually the markings will blur out. Then I'll be lost until I listen to something and find that it's off. It's better to have physically engraved markings and avoid that hassle.
For how meticulously the App Store is curated, it's amazing so many developers misuse the UDID's to the point that a good amount of information can be found on any one person by using their UDID and comparing to UDID's stored by developers.
And I have to join The Mactivist in asking, just what was the FBI doing with all those UDID's?
They should just have the "Choose another stance" options available anyway without an extra click. Make it more convenient. On many of the questions, I couldn't answer just yes or no, I had to answer "yes, but..." and so on.
The webOS way of app management just makes the most sense to me, it's miles ahead of anything Google and Apple can cook up. There's no ambiguity of which apps are open, no need for a task manager. It's all there for you to see. It's especially great when you can get card management as responsive as shown in the video.
You must be paying the old rate. The old rate was at $3 per month. They added new tiers at $6 per month or $60 per year, and at $9 per month or $90 per year. You'll need the latter tier, called Grooveshark Anywhere, to use the mobile apps.
I supposed if you really think it's too low, you could start paying the newer rate if you want.
