That's what happens when you rapid-fire iterate on new content in the same template with no significant innovations for extended periods of time.

Sad thing is, from a business perspective, they did a great job and probably wouldn't change a thing if they could go back and do it over. At least not besides somehow managing to get those significant innovations magically and without significant investment to impact their bottom line in the short term.

Okay Harmonix, that one's done. What's the next cool design epiphany?

Anyone who answers LESS than 20 is either very spartan or not counting very carefully. Practically all kitchen appliances, any LCD monitor, any TV, every mobile phone, portable music players, media players, game consoles...all times however many chips are actually in the thing!

I easily got to 25...without even counting the desktop/laptop computers!

The Associated Press reports that teens who talk frequently are three and a half times more likely to have sex. A survey of 4,200 public high school students in the Cleveland area found that one in five students uttered more than 120 sentences a day. Students in this group were much more likely to have sex. Alcohol and drug use also correlate with frequent talking and heavy use of neck movements.

But it's the developers' problem and thus isn't a logical reason for Apple to require Objective-C apps.

Oh bull, you pay for Hotmail or Yahoo every time you use them. You also send out ads with your messages. (Unlike GMail, for example...) So not only are you paying for it, the people you're corresponding with are, too. Whereas Apple just made the default signature "sent from an iPhone", which btw, also lets the person you're emailing know you're not at your desk.

It's not a legitimate rant. Sorry.

Indeed.

I have never really gotten the mentality that reasons that "nature", as in life on earth, will be okay in the long term, ergo we don't have to worry or do anything.

In light of further discussion with another poster, my original response to you was extremely unclear and careless. I want to apologize for that. I actually believe all individuals have a distinct purpose in life, and my response did not at all manifest that.

"forum noob?" Damn, that's funny as hell.

For a minute there I thought I was in AV and some kid that had spent the last year leveling his first 55 had just gotten his DK to 60 and immediately jumped into bg to show us noobs/nubs how it's done. Well it used to be 60 anyway. I suppose 59 is correct now.

(I was also confused by the reference to this 'forum' of which he speaks. Then again, those Slavic guys with mono or whatever it was had already strained my tiny brain.)

The original poster is looking for a replacement for a camera that has pan/tilt/zoom controls.

Mod parent up for beating me to it. This is the standard link I give to every person who tells me "You are in the industry? Help me get rich from my awesome idea!"

It occurs to me that, according to most accounts of the past, young people's attitudes towards new computers hasn't really changed at all. We begged our parents to upgrade our PCs all through the '00s to no avail; and were even less successful on the X-Box front.
Now at 20, I've finally got the top-end gaming machine I've always wanted. But what will this computer seem like in another 30 years? Will my 3.7GHz quad core and dual Radeon HD5850 graphics cards seem slow? Will Windows 7 seem quaint? Probably. But at the moment it is my absolute pride and joy. I just laughed at myself as much as I laughed at these ads, when I realised that nothing has changed.

Except the majority of the cost is fixed in the rockets to escape Earth and the spacecraft to reach mars, so a longer lasting robot is always better so long as it remains a minority of the cost of the exploration system.

Personally I was reminded of the dwarves digging too deep and unleashing a hordes of Tentacle demon upon boatmurdered. Have we learned nothing from Dwarf Fortress?

Here, fixed that for you.

For most people:

Good information == information that supports their views

&&

Good voting == voting with an outcome they favor

That's why the "fairness doctrine" is so Orwellian. By definition, it requires some person or entity to decide what is a fair mix of opinion and what is good information.

"Experts" usually love that sort of arrangement, usually because they envision themselves to be the arbiter.

Would you favor it, though, if someone you disagreed with politically had the power to make such determinations?

Could you use 32 bit drivers in XP compatibility mode?
