Century Link enforces their caps just fyi. I had a 300g cap, and the only way to increase it was to swap to a $500 business line.

And if he's the one doing her taxes, does that make it like double-fraud?

Unreal has just been pretty terrible at marketing itself to indies. It's basically been free-ish for a while. Unreal 4 has been $19/mo (which you can cancel immediately and retain access) for months, and prior to that, you could use UDK for no up-front charge in return for a 25% royalty on...

It will play equally well on every platform!

34 weeks into development, no clue about tech, no technical people (or anyone else for that matter)... So Ut really is Brad? O.o

Holy shit Khama! so many old names! (Andvari was the bard btw). Crazy nostalgia flashback! As long as we're bringing up old shit, I take some blame for the Brahma thing. I sort of flipped my shit on him, but then I never did like people taking their ball and going home. Khama was always the...

Skill in EQ was a weird thing since what that really means depended so much on what your role was. The "real" skill in eq was management, and if you were involved in guild leadership at pretty much any level, you were playing an entirely different game than most people. Your game wasn't...

Ah good point, though even if "forever" is a goal, it would probably still be a good idea to try a place (or a few places) for a few months first. From my experience (lived outside the US for most of the last decade), you don't really know how the pros and cons of a place will affect you until...

Everyone seems really hung up on visas, but if you're just looking for new experiences, why worry about settling in somewhere. Stay somewhere as long as whatever the easy visa option is, and then move along. Most countries have 3 month tourist visas (which you get automatically just by showing...

No, there's no tipping at Subway. And I guess maybe we just have different expectations, or maybe it's just worse here. Either way, the difference between a really bad server and a really good one can make a big difference in how enjoyable your dinner is, and with tipping, servers are...

Living in Scandinavia makes me happy to tip when I visit the US. The service at restaurants here (at least in Norway) is beyond horrible compared to service in the US. Not to mention $50 for a shitty pizza + $8 for non-refillable cokes... but ya, fuck tips, lets pay waiters $20/hr no matter...

Anyone know of a prepaid that handles international roaming fairly well? (ideally with not-entirely-insane rates)

There are lots of ways to spend your money on customer acquisition, so why invest in a property you don't control?

If you want to be really safe, just gradually reduce the amount of carbs you eat. Start knocking off 10-20% per week until you get where you want to be and you'll probably never notice a difference.

Are you forgetting that they raised almost $100M in VC?
