@Beedrill I love Soul Calibur. They need to make another one ASAP. The customization was my favorite thing in 5. Wow, that is a seriously game changing dynamic.
Years ago, I remember playing a couple of versions of FIFA for PC that had a game mode that I loved. My cousin and I were able to each create one player character and play with them off-line (side-by-side) to develop them over time.
It was similar to a player career mode, but each of us could h...
@Yuuki One of the things it introduced is unpopular with the competitive crowd because it invalidates a skill that they spent a long time perfecting, but that provided a huge barrier to entry for new players.
In old street fighter games, there were a lot of combos that required 1 or 2-frame links (i.e. you have only 1 or 2 frames, and those frames only, to press a button for the combo to work).
So the ability to execute combos is extended to pretty much anybody who puts in a few minutes, rather than only people who practice and drill their muscle memory daily.
IMO it's a good change, but people who had already put in the time on previous games were upset.
Most of the other complaints about SFV are lack of features or technical complaints about input lag or netcode.
Bail just means he can go home before the trial rather than waiting in prison. He gets the money back if he shows up for his trial, and he doesn't get the money back if he flees.
The point is that he's not guilty yet because you're "innocent until proven guilty", so holding him with no possible way for him to get out is potentially a violation of his rights.
The bipartisan Stronger Patents Act will protect America's perpetual motion machine: innovation http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2626618 via @dcexaminer
> As just one example: the Patent Trial and Appeal Board – created just a few years ago as part of the America Invents Act – is now invalidating parts or all of at least 92 percent of the patents that are subjected to the approval process. One former federal judge called PTAB judges a "Death Squad" looking to kill intellectual property rights.
> For the first time, the United States has slipped out of the top spot in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's global intellectual property index for patent protection – we are now an embarrassing 10th!
> The Stronger Patents Act also restores funding to the Patent Transfer Office and helps stop large infringers from wearing out their smaller competitors in court by permitting preliminary injunctions
Can we talk about how the article literally opens up with an anecdote about the author actually spending time trying to create a perpetual motion machine?
"Bug reports" abound regarding supposed bugs in the Monkey Island series, though I've found very few that represent actual bugs.
Most bug reports seem to arise from a frustration at the player's inability to solve a particular puzzle in the game. In my younger days, playing through the games for...
Unfortunately I feel like the Good Things are not specified completely enough to outweigh the Bad Things so I might have to make some complaints
It basically restricts inter partes review and prevents post-grant challenge on the basis of anything that could have been determined during the initial filing, unless the requesting party is being sued and/or claimed to be infringing, which isn't horrible per se, but likely ripe for abuse
Then a whole bunch of other things that just make the process harder
But then later it also includes provisions for requiring that cases against individuals/small businesses claimed to be infringing be expedited, presumably to reduce the scenarios in which going to trial is so much more costly than settling even if you aren't guilty
Hmm, it does include an interesting bit about bad faith
This language would actually be good RE: copyright tbh >_>
Like those companies that spam YouTube for stuff they don't actually have a right to enforce copyright over
Hmm it's worth noting that this patent legislation stalled out in an earlier Congress, which apparently led to a bunch of states already enacting similar laws
@Unionhawk It defines it, no worries :P
Well, it constitutes what is considered a violation. I guess if you came up with a plausible explanation for how it was totally an accident then maybe you'd get away with it?
CNN's breaking news bulletin currently says "Preliminary indications are that the Michigan airport suspect said something in Arabic before stabbing officer, officials say" even though the article doesn't mention this at all
"The Stronger Patents Act also restores funding to the Patent Transfer Office and helps stop large infringers from wearing out their smaller competitors in court by permitting preliminary injunctions" doesn't this just make it open season for patent trolls?
I mean, this might make sense in a world where the PTAB has finished burning down 95% of filed patents
@ToxicFrog The text of the bill only touches on this briefly because it's amending an existing code (which I'd have to look at in full, ugh >_>), but the implication seems to be that only in cases where someone was blatantly infringing would the court then now have the ability to issue a preliminary injunction
@TimStone my concern is rooted in the fact that a lot of patent troll activity is rooted in "infringement" that is blatant, but of a patent that should never have been issued in the first place.
(and the patent troll is gambling that most targets will be willing to settle rather than paying 10-100x as much to drag it through the courts and ultimately get a ruling that either (a) the patent is much, much narrower than the troll is claiming or (b) the patent shouldn't have been issued in the first place and is invalid)

I was searching in my old files and found a Minecraft PE world that dates from when the world was stored as chunks.db. I tried to open it using the latest version of MCPE but the game crashes. The problem seems to come from the chunks.db file as it is not supported in 1.1.1. I searched on Google ...
@Dragonrage that's really useful when the array represents, say, coordinates on a grid -- you can make the array coordinate space match the coordinate space of whatever it's modeling, rather than needing to offset the indexes every time you access it
I'm using retextured snowballs and eggs for the different paintballs for two teams in a paintball map, so I can't replace the eggs with snowballs.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy 7 and set up my acct through the trainer
Club. I had to reinstall the program and now it states unable to
authenticate. I am entering my password, date o birth, etc correctly.
any ideas? I am able to access the trainer site on the internet.
Intuitively that seems like the exception gets thrown at the point an object of that type is instantiated, but I don't know what happens if you have a statically initialized variable of that type; presumably it throws before the first instruction of main() and you have a bad time.
Eh, I don't want to feed them myself, I just want to feed momma bird so there's a less chance for her to get killed in the "wild".
Every now and then, I worry that she'll die and now I have three baby birds in my mailbox that I have no clue how to care for and then they'll probably die too.
@Yuuki i was meaning if you are putting food out for the mother to collect. i dont know about birds specifically, but a number of other animals wont touch food or other things that have human smell on them
(as in, crows are smart enough to know seagulls are dumb and they barely need to hide food from them, just put it out of sight, while they'll actually hide food from smart animals)
