One of the great things about programming is that you don't need any formal education to do it. There are enough resources available to you that you can teach yourself with the help of Google. I might actually recommend Java [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html] as a starting...

I don't know that I'd go with "fanciful science fiction" so much as "blatant disregard for the laws of physics and logical reasoning." The ring of magnets does not cause it to spin endlessly. What it does is cause the central object to sit perfectly still and be absolutely uninteresting. In...

Torrentfreak is a news site. They don't even host torrents, let alone help people pirate things.

The snow and rain capabilities are already in the game (though not active. The textures have been available since before the halloween update.) The lightning is not.

Have you considered that perhaps it's just shit? I haven't played it myself, so I can't say for sure, but that is generally a reason for bad reviews.

If he posts on 4Chan, there's about a 75% chance he'll get a bunch of "Not your personal army" and "fuck off." The other 25% chance is that his thread dies without getting a single post.

In what way would this hurt the fan base? Anybody who isn't buying or selling gold won't be affected...

In my never-ending quest for Cobblestone with which to build my fortress, I have started a tunnel to nowhere. It is 3 blocks wide by 4 blocks high. It is currently 460 blocks long, just under half a kilometer, and was formerly occupied by 5520 blocks of stone, dirt, iron, and coal. Being a...

This is nothing new. ISP's have been doing this since they were created. Now they just have a justification for it. It's really not that big of a deal. You probably already have one, and just didn't realize it. Actually, you almost definitely had one, since if you live in Canada, your...

No, it's just far easier for the stupid to make themselves noticed than before. The average is the same, but everybody is actually paying attention to the stupid section for some reason.

Not professionally. I took CompSci in High school, but I mostly do it as a hobby. I've used both Java and C/++.

A fox. Definitely a fox. Ever seen a fox hunt in the winter? It's adorable.

It's still 6 minutes to 12 here. I think it will probably be water though. A boring start to what will likely be an equally boring year.

Not sure if they count as "Weapons," but every plasmid from Bioshock other than the Electric Shock one. Shock enemy to stun, shoot in face. No need to ever equip anything else. Even the developer seemed to realize this. As you get into the later parts of the game, Thuggish Splicers (the melee...

Fixed that for you. Sorry, can't have you being blatantly wrong in front of me. Simply won't do. Only Microsoft actually uses NTFS. As to file sizes: Apple Uses HFS+ (max file size 8 ExiBytes) Microsoft uses NTFS(Technically capable of 16EiB/file, Limited by Microsoft to 16TB/file) Linux...
