in my opinion, Steam should either require that games save to a specific location in order to be available on steam, or (unsure this is actually possible) they should disallow games from writing outside their game folder, intercept calls to do so, and have some sort of virtual thing where it actually writes to a…

looking at the video, it really doesnt look all that much better from a next-gen standpoint. Look at her fingers when she's turning the dial on the tower (towards the beginning of the video). Her fingers still look blocky and meh (in a cutscene!). Sure the particle effects and lighting might look better, but nice…

Syntactically, or in order to get someone interested in programming in the first place, I would say python all the way.

As much as I like C#, I feel like (as least as far as I know) since so much code is written for you on an initial program, it tends to be bad for learning. Not the least because of visual studio's fantastic auto-completion, but moreso because of things like project files, and whatnot that are automatically generated…

The game looks great, but I wonder if I'm the only one that thought double dash was fantastic, the one for the Wii was a big letdown (bad) and this one in terms of gameplay looks very similar.

I want to see the inside. For the ps3, Sony had a really cool looking custom airflow thing, that looked cool for the sake of looking cool, and the 360 didnt.

it took a lot of configuring to get winamp or the others to be alright to work with, while MusicBee was very easy. Its fast, not bloated, and nice looking, and easy to uise

For me, the lack of ability to have something like Swype exist on iOS basically means that I can't use it.

I have never really been impressed with Handbrake, which I think is the fundamental flaw in these Top 5 things. I like the article that shows the top 5, because you generally get at least 2 that are less well known, but are very good. However the "Most Popular" article, invariably has the most well known,…

This would be especially useful if you removed the br-drive, extended its cables, then put that (in an aesthetically-pleasing-way) in an easier-to-get-to spot!

but it would require me to have the space for everything I want to sync, on the pi. I just want enough space to store the differences so that as clients come online, they always will update with the latest files

What I'm really looking for is a file syncing solution that acts as a small (1Gb lets say) cache, that will only upload changed files and syncs the changes them to all clients when they are available. What I don't like about current solutions (dropbox, skydrive) is that they only have so much space, so im out of luck…

I use Swype, and am generally Anne to just Swype the first 3/4 of it and it gets what I'm going for and I can select it. it's great

the sad thing is that in my experience, having been on a co-op where I am essentially doing the work of what actual other employees(software engineering) I could do the job now, before having completed college (and tbh before having stepped foot in college). it's kinda of sad. so it probably takes college degree to…

Yup, I decided the other day that if utorrent is going to be that way, then I'll find someone that isnt.

This list seems rather superfluous to me. I already know about all these apps, and either I have them, or Ive deemed them unnecessary. I'd rather come here and see a bunch of apps (like ResophNotes, good job!) that I'd never heard of before, that do the same or better job than all the defaults ones that are the first…

Demoing products slash seeing them in person is the entirety of why people buy things at brick and mortar stores at all. They put out tens of $500+ laptops/tablets/dslr cameras, and more. Adding headphones to that list (and slimming down on the laptops since half the time they dont let you use the actual OS on it…

What does the female of this species of pokemon look like?

If we're not going to sell it as if it was a physical good, then the digital copies of games should be lower. It's not even as if the people making the game have to deal with the cost of the digital downloads. A $60 game where you're not buying a physical cd that doesnt need to be physically shipped to me or to a…

Not that I haven't bought used games before, but probably on the order of 90% of the pc games that I've bought in the last year have been steam games. I'm not too worried about restrictions on used games (though I'm not sure what it will do to game renting), im more concerned about artificial always online…
