Well Vaclav, look at it this way. Ping is a round trip so you really are looking at 7.5ms to get to the server. If you completely and absolutely ignore routing, packet processing, computations, dropped packets etc plus have a mythical carrier medium that is laid arrow straight and works at...

Where the hell are you in relation to the server that you are getting a 15ms ping consistently? I ask because unless you are next door, it is almost certainly a reporting error. It isn't a question of bandwidth or routers, just that the physics doesn't work.

But why do this for a console? For a phone game or a handheld or something there is a constraint on size and hence on processing power so offloading some of that makes sense. It is an expensive trade but one that solves a problem. For a console there isn't a restraint other than cost and in...

FFS, I thought we dropped all this "cloud" shit already. It is not new, it is not revolutionary and it does not make sense for many, many of the use cases where it is being deployed. I'd include gaming here for damned sure and especially sincedistributedprocessing makes more sense andlocaldata...

Hey, you can pronounce it however the hell you want. I won't stop you. It is properly pronounced jiff though.

Yeah, damned directors are always having actors do that stupidity. Makes me want to throat-punch a bitch.

I am pleased.

I think they are going for the Windows release model. One kickass version, then one shitty version. Rinse and repeat.

The fuck it is.

Fuck that guy. Seriously.

Of that there is no doubt. I just hope someone non-shit is free to finish things up.

Final for the season 1 pack. Depends how far along BL3 is but I'd expect at least two more and quite possibly a full set of 4 or whatever. It is a pretty good return on dev time after all.

The cause of most plane crashes really.

Yeah, that statement confused me too. Thought he was the smart one...

Out west I'd agree. Back in Ontario though, the private school thing is very accepted and most upper middle class people aspire to send their kids to one for at least part of their education. It is more about networking than education though and often more directly for the parents. I'd...

Well, MMOs decisively win for me although it is tricky if I work in opportunity costs. EQ and even WoW were hundreds (or, fuck me, thousands) of hours of play for relatively little cost. Still, I did occasionally skip money-making opportunities back in the EQ days so that should count against...

baga... nt

Well, yes and no (as always). No you can't successfully sue the feds for this sort of thing. They get immunity from almost everything because, well, they wrote the laws and all. You'll get bounced early and probably get pounded for fees on top if the judge is well paid. On the other hand...

Ding ding. Cute card, too late. One can make a bomb of anything and making it mostly open mana means nothing at all at that stage.

Guess what? Sometimes the radical terrorists actually have a point! Not so much in this case but seriously, people that will blow themselves up or set themselves on fire in protest *generally* have something to say. Agree or not with the message, if someone is willing to die for it, I'll...

Haha! Totally useless interviews with the uncle are starting to crack me up. He just seems so genuinely puzzled by why these stupid people are asking such stupid questions.

Scary thing? They still have nearly three million subs. I guess this is their demographic!

I am fucking loving this commie they have on CNN here! Perfect accent and demeanor, plus he's not even slightly nervous about saying whatever the fuck he wants. "I go on AOL, see bad thing!"

Now that is some crazy shit.

Well, most firefighters, paramedics and nurses *do* work in their own communities. A lot of them even do it for a paycheck or the social gratitude. The more removed a group of people is from your own group, the less you care about them in general. That's just the way we are wired. It doesn't...

Well, given the history of the area, I don't think it is entirely fair to ignore how the Taliban came to have their power base in Afghanistan. Nor Saddam in Iraq and so on and so on. But whatever, it doesn't really matter I guess.

Well Tuco, I guess it depends on how you define "massive publisher". Valve would be the obvious /v/ love company but Rockstar or CD Projekt RED or Naughty Dog or hell, many others are well liked. EA and Blizzard-Activision are really the only ones I can think of that are hated by so many...

Yeah, went cage for my playthrough and never had her lob lockpicks at me. She'll point them out if you miss them but it sounds like that's standard.

Hell, I thought we were supposed to be pissed at the old guy for being a pussy about it. I'm a hippy Canadian communist and I'd have shot that dumbass too. The old "oh, let me walk over close enough to hand you my weapon thing" doesn't cut it in a zombie wasteland and honestly, if you are too...

Played a little bit. The new mode seems a bit irritating and I'm pretty much loaded for bear with legendaries. I mean, it isn't really *that* hard or anything but fuck the new slag mechanic for solo play. Even with a commando using super-quick weapon swaps and/or slagging turret, it is just...

For what it is worth, I've not slept 'right' in 30+ years. I'm 43 now and I don't think I've ever slept 8 hours straight since I was 12 unless I was blind drunk. Normally I'll be down for 3-4 hours, iffy for 10-15 minutes (or an hour if I get up) then back down for 2-3 hours of patchy sleep...

I do. Of course, I am Canadian. When I was young(er) I fought hard against having to pay for it though. Then, *oil* and I wouldn't even have to pay for it if I wanted to do so. Well, outside of our usual socialist "pay for stuff" through VATs and so on thing. Works fine for me, although I...

Well, if it came time to nuke something, I don't think you guys really need a plane to deliver the weapon(s). B-2s still carry a pretty damned big conventional payload don't they?

Do you even DT bro?

Fresher food *is not* healthier by default. Tastier? Absolutely. Science gives no fucks about tastier though really (other than how it influences diet of course) and the human body sure as hell doesn't care when it is busy breaking that stuff down for fuel. GMO is just a ridiculous label...

It is too soon to tell. Still, one of the top three things I've ever seen on the Internet. Note that I still spell the Internet with a capital 'I' for context. Top three is insane praise.

Digging the link but lost to find more? Shit lad, normally good at this but a hint would be all plus+.

A very true statement. Still though, there was no need to get all funky here. The cannon plotline is pure Greek tragic standard shit... why fuck with it? There's a reason that it has been rehashed for thousands of years after all.

All right, that was entertaining! At this point though, I do hope it somehow bites the favorites in the ass.

Well, that and we *really* don't know what habitable means anymore. We've found life pretty much everywhere we've looked on Earth, including in many areas where we still have no idea how it lives. Assuming we are not a surreal fluke, we'll probably find life off planet and perhaps even life...
