@SaintWacko You probably linked to the wrong article to be discussing that point, but the claimed stemmed from Uber skirting regulations that the taxis had to follow, which the taxis viewed as unfair
@SaintWacko I mean, technically they shouldn't be running a business based on exploiting non-employee drivers with false promises, but I guess you meant that more in a legal instead of ethical sense. :P
I am looking for more games based off the 4X genre. I am a fan of games like Master of Orion and Civilizations series and I was wondering what other games there are out there that have this formula. I am also interested in free 4X games that are out there so maybe that can also be recommended as ...
@SaintWacko taxi drivers have mandatory health checks, more checks of the cars than private cars, a certification needed for transporting people commercially, and the Uber drivers don't necessarily have insurance for commercial use
On a fresh save (restarted game for example), when and where is the earliest possibility to receive a Pokemon sent to the game via Mystery gift?
It says Pokemon Center, so I'd assume it's the first Pokemon Center you come across, but where is that located?
I like how first result on Google for "Windows 10" is an april fools article from 2013 of Microsoft skipping Windows 9 and going straight from 8 to 10...
What irritates me is that Firefox won't even let me VIEW the cert I'm being presented... to see if it's being tampered with by my employer, for instance.
@spugsley I mean, I don't know that I have any reason to hate him. Sometimes I wonder how that sea urchin ended up on his head, but I don't find him terribly objectionable or anything. :P
@SaintWacko Yeah, I may end up doing that now too. The Nexus 6 would have had the right improvements in all the right places, but it didn't need to be bigger >:(
I love my Nexus 7, but let's be real. It's way too big to be convenient to carry around all the time. The Nexus 5 is fine. It's hard to judge what half-way between would be like.
@spugsley I have the MAXX, it's a piece of crap that overheats, it does have a decent battery life though. Note is pretty awesome, but kind of bulky. No input on HTC
@SaintWacko I don't know how savyy and willing to risk her warranty @spugsley is; it's just easier to avoid Samsung altogether so you don't have to work around their bollocks to begin with
Ooooh, @spugsley that remindes me. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but Samsung used to not let you turn off the camera click noise on their phones.
That is actually what made me root my phone. It annoyed me so much
Well I Don't Have PSP So I Haven't Played Shattered Memories But I Have Tried Reading It's Story On Wikipedia.
now i'm confused , i don't understand it's story and it's relevant to previous games and it's characters , anyone knows the story and cares to explain??
@SaintWacko I don't think it's fair to say "1080" as the measure. It's more about pixel density than just number of pixels. The same number of pixels in a smaller space is going to produce a sharper image.
I once heard one of the InDesign guys give an amazing tech talk about how to measure that sort of thing. It was insane and awesome. But the gist of it is, when you're talking about stuff like that, we don't have to worry about that limit anytime soon for most anything you use
@spugsley The bigger issue with you for the cameras won't be the MP of the image, but the quality of light and speed of the image taking
Phone cameras are really poor at capturing light because they use such a small device to do so, so they have to have longer exposures, which makes them harder to take steady
Well, it's relative. They take the photo quicker and then apply post-processing I believe. I don't know that for sure, but that's what it seems from the examples I've seen
Photoshops deblur function is magic, but only so much. So basically, your phone will be alright in a pinch, but you're not always going to get photos you can use from it, even if it looks alright when you snap it and view it on the phone
Which is a reason for higher resolution, but most photo applications on the phone don't let you zoom in that much anyway
That said, with a higher MP, you can get away with blurry as it scales down a bit
