It was one of the very first space RTS that was truly in 3D space. Not some illusion where everything is on the same plane of existence. You can tell your bombers/fighters to attack from above and below where ships didn't have AA guns while your capital ships attacked straight on etc. There was turrets with certain…

Actually my current main client yes. One of my side clients from about a year ago wanted everything back to IE6, I declined his job offer and refused. They never found someone to do the programming job for them because no one is that desperate or insane.

Browser security is another issue which if you want to bring up,…

Interesting article, thanks for the link however the easier to snoop on still stands. Considering the government built in backdoors.

No I don't do shitty programming, but when my boss says Support ____ Browser, that means supporting all versions he wants, including specified older legacy ones. My boss is a great guy to work for but he's stubborn on certain details.

Welcome to IT world interactions with management 101. What did you expect? That I'm…

I can tell the IT calls already:

IT support: Hello, IT help desk, how may I help you?

Caller: She's DEAD! She's not responding!

Yeah I agree. Well if you are designing a website for a school, university, hospital, I would do compatibility for all versions of IE because it would be required in my mind by default. A niche company that mostly provide services to apple users does not make IE on the must-have list on things to do. Especially when…

Well you may not considering what they pay me. Good guy to work for however, but limited in budget.

It has little to do with bad programming.

Fortune 500 company =/= to a less than 30 people regionally focused company whose idea of IT is having extremely worn shoes with shoe strings for a budget.

They pay me by the hour and they are the one who signs my paychecks. Not you or anyone else. In the end, my boss will…

Of course, but how often does Internet Explorer update? Not very which is why I consider it more insecure.

Actually no, for my clients, it puts it into third for their web usage. A school or university? It would make sense to have compatibility for it. No, I would say it would be a requirement regardless of the percentage. I have no qualms dealing with the latest version, but I will not waste my time and my employers time…

user perspective... it has alot more potential to be insecure, easier to snoop on etc. From a developer standpoint, it's one of those browsers as a web developer, if I can avoid it, I Will. It's more of a pain in the ass it's actually worth (measly 17% according to wikipedia). When I show my clients the statistics for…

You see that divide North/South in Maine? Yeah that's a bitch. Colleges are more likely to be on the coast line which means if you live more west, you'll have to drive through up to 2ft of snow to go to class. Cause you know, it ain't snowing 2ft on the coastline.

That reminds me of Maine's highways/roadways.

I agree with everything but the specs. For $400, I agree that it would be match to match specs. Any priceline higher? Doubtful.

Well another flaw indeed if you want to nitpick the physics. Unless you want to get some quantum mechanics involved. Ways around this side effect would depend upon how the time stop would happen. Is it simply a form of human super speed? Altering the way you and others would sense time? etc. Does it alter just the way…

Haha, tis fine. Not many people pick a part time stop abilities as much as super strength or super speed.

The ability to eat four cheeseburgers and fries without it affecting the waistline. Super power indeed.

I agree but my point is that super speed and strength simply worked back in the 1950/60's more easier because there wasn't a ton of science to back up what can go horribly wrong with the law of physics. That is my point of the curse of knowledge. Sometimes ignorance is more blissful. As science advances, we're going…

Yeah I agree, it is nit picking. But if we're at that level of nitpick, then super speed and alot of other super powers is out the door as well. Your point does have merit however. It's why I didn't dive too deep into how the power would work beyond an concept stage.

I agree with you on Gandalf and similar characters. But then again, most of the powers wouldn't work on an concept level pass in reality. It's why suspension of reality exists. Alot of the comic super powers we are talking about when they put into comic form, the science wasn't what it was today. I like to call it the…
