I've found the same to be true of software engineers. If you want to get the truly great engineers, the ones that love the field and not money, you really have to offer lower salaries.

If you can't find anyone reporting the same issue, then how is your issue getting closed as a duplicate? ;)

The story has always taken itself fairly seriously even in WoW (for the most part). The game, however, never really has. The easiest thing to point to is the script from clicking on the units in the RTS games, which goes back to Warcraft 2 for sure. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans I can't recall for sure... Also, clicking on critters until they explode (yeah, that's an easter egg but still). Certainly, WoW takes it to a new level but I think that is because Blizzard has made it more a part of their identity in all their games and WoW just has loads upon loads of content to put stuff like that into.

Just imagine the "ammo" this would give anti-game violence arguments. They shot civilians in game to practice shooting civilians in real life!

I can't believe I'm actually posting on a WoW thread :P but have you actually tanked or healed seriously before? My main was a warlock way back in the day (vanilla WoW) and I played as a priest/warrior/druid in BC (main tanked 20 man raids, healed 20 man raids, solo healed a couple runs of karazhan for fun:) and while you are right about being "judged" almost solely on your DPS.. that is because your task is so much easier that all you have to do is damage the right target as much as you can without pulling aggro. Also, if you think tanks don't take shit from healers for not mitigating enough damage or not building enough off-target threat to keep every mob's attention then you're just in the dark.

Do minorities get better internet access? Balls.

I don't know what up-converting a DVD has to do with frame rate, but those 120/240hz features on TVs do it by "faking" frames and I think that is why they appear unnatural. I haven't seen anything professionally produced at a higher frame rate but hold out hope that it will actually look good. It will definitely take some getting used to, though.

Hey guys, PopeRatzo is right. I mean, come on. Yeah, come on!

I wonder.. did you go to Iowa State, or is that a common thing for universities to do, or is it a common rumor students make up to excuse their guilt for walking on and destroying the grass? :)

Your first clue is that you refer to them as "users" :)

You mean you're a QUALITY ENGINEER, right? This comment brought to you by Caps Lock!

ActionScript isn't like JavaScript? They are both based on ECMA Script, they are very similar as languages.

I've (unfortunately) written a lot of both and they are extremely similar to each other. Yes, there are a lot of features inside that bloated Flash runtime, but that doesn't mean ActionScript is not like JavaScript.

The answer is because the only time their Android phone nags them is when their is a new update to install.

Perhaps for computers that are shipped as appliances and use a web app to configure them. The company I work for does touchscreen kiosks that run Windows and would probably be interested in turning that ability on. That is a slim use case, for sure, but a valid one :)
