    Yeah the XML part doesn't make sense. It's like he thinks, "Json is for web, xml is for server side". I'm not aware of a compelling reason to convert json to xml unless you're doing so for compatibility. I've never used it but I'm sure: Json.NET - Newtonsoft isn't worse than Visual Studio's...

    40 Superhero Movies in the Next 6 Years/Superhero Movie Bubble?

    I think the quantity of superhero movies won't be a problem. But I feel like it's already getting a little formulaic and exhausted. I can't be the only one that doesn't want to see a origins sequence for the top 10 superheros (the batman/superman/spiderman/ironman/wolverines) ever again...

    Is your argument that the muscular variation between the two actors is not possible within the constraints of the unsullied lifestyle?

    The Astronomy Thread

    Have they ever answered why they don't use a parachute and use their rockets for re-entry? I flew a few hobbyists rockets as a kid and they had parachutes, so I'm an expert on the matter.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's a realistic build, and true to the fiction. They're slave hoplites with no testicles. They never have enough of a caloric surplus to get swole and don't produce enough testosterone to build muscle easily.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't understand the feasability of it either. It seems like the additional weight from re-entry rockets necessary to control the landing is so much more limiting than wings, parachutes etc. I finally watched Interstellar last night. The

    Your boss sounds like, "I hired two senior developers and they can't work like senior developers. Time for a developer battle. Two men enter, one man leaves."

    Haha. When I see shit like that I think of a bad developer having worked at a previous place where good developers made a system that worked really well for everyone. Then when they move to a new job they see another system that does the same work but differently, but because they're bad...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    My guess: He starts off being closely tied to Stark's original creation. Calculating, snarky, thoughtful. As he upgrades himself he loses the humanity Stark created and devolves into more of a psychotic killing machine. His voice is an allegory of that. This continues until his final form where...

    I think it's only interesting because it's the first day since Library opened that we won most of the Halcyonas.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Duke Nukem Forever isn't a good comparison because by the time it came out people had already moved on. And DNF was never as close to release or publication as SC is now.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    The problem wasn't showing Hulk being able to slam a lightpole through Ironman's armor, the problem was them showing Ironman shrug off a tank shell. That's the kind of 'feat' that you really have to ignore for any kind of power continuity. With Ironman especially, being so mortal, you really...

    I'd feel nervous about making a glass door review at my current job even though I'm super happy and would write positive things. As for whether it's insightful, this is a community largely driven by anticipation of the next big MMO. Often you see MMOs get destroyed when the company suddenly...

    The scenes encompassed all the fights, which were over within the same period of the broadcast because both forces were generally aggressive. Anytime the gankbus force had the advantage they pressed it and wiped us, and anytime we had the advantage we pushed and wiped them. Editing can always...

    Yesterday we ran 3 huge Halcyona pushes. All were successful. We captured video of the last one, which was a huge battle that we emerged victorious under. The East has been getting wrekt in Halcyona recently (and was also easily destroyed on the halcy after this one where we were busy with...

    I'm a little confused here, Furry, are you equating genetic predisposition with genetic disease?

    That's an interesting swing. A small minority use javascript. Probably because this seems to focus on more, I dunno, core 'computer science' people instead of 'web developers'.

    Oh man. It's like the worker's pots all over again. I really hope it's not a dupe and just a guy being very dumb with his credit purchases. Or someone banking on immortal XP tonics becoming much more expensive after the 55 patch and that didn't come true.

    No discussion of the leaked episodes in this thread, please. The quality of it sucks, so I recommend people wait till the release. If you want to discuss them, use the spoiler thread. If you're a non-book reader and want to discuss them without being spoiled by the books, make a new thread...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Downloaded it, not worth watching in low def. Please keep spoilers in spoiler tags, but I won't be opening this thread anymore, nor looking at reports for this thread. My recommendation to people not watching the leaked info, stay out of this thread and stay in the no spoiler thread.

    Witcher 3

    Looks excellent. I really hope they stretch on the sandbox part of it and make it so that not only can you 'rescue' towns from monsters, but that towns can be okay, then go back to the 'monster' state. And choosing which towns to rescue will change some larger global part of the game. Maybe...

    I think you'd have to explain what you mean by the 'science' part of computer science. Someone creating a new way to rasterize some polygons in a scene with heavy fog could be said to be doing bonafied computer science as well as engineering.

    Yeah but you're not reacting to new information as you see it, you're forming your splines from a prior knowledge, so everything looks clean, smooth and slow.

    Yeah I think you're so good at it, it makes it look slow, since all your corrections are extremely steady. Plus there are no other players.

    I never played Eve so I'm speaking from ignorance here, but there's two basic problems with this: 1. The attackers have nothing to lose by attacking and no investment to trigger the vulnerability. This is a critical point because if the attackers don't have to pay anything to trigger a siege...

    Vitality, making it such that you can take keeps at any time means that the fights will be decided by who can alarm clock harder. Or which group has the stronger oceanic/EU force. Which sucks. They can just make them occur during NA primetime. This sucks for oceanic groups who probably won't...

    lol @ the shitty auction house implementation being an anti-bot measure. I feel like there isn't a excuse for bad design you won't swallow and repeat, Resco. ESO had some funny bots because the quests were so easy to bot.
