You don't have any radiation shielding.

Why not try surviving under the ocean first? Fail Squad NASA.

Huh? Of course it is art. Look at all the random graphics and movement coming together to form a 3D street animation.

1.) people can take away a lot from the code and animation which makes it a great example of a new art form. The street scene in oarticular conjures up emotions.

2.) just because a group of the Internet does not understand or appreciate art in all its forms, doesn't mean anything at all except they are ignorant when it comes to identifying artwork.

I hope the cops stay non-violent this time.

Good to know that people are prepared for violent, over-reacting police this time around. Bunch of thugs.

Programming is awesome. I noticed your domain says porgrammingisterrible.

Aren't you tired of being wrong all the time? Why are you bothering people who enjoy programming?

Classic troll.

Yahoo did this first. They weren't keen on the peanut gallery making inappropriate comments on serious articles.

I have a peanut gallery, I mean Comments button on my website for my mobile apps. It sends me an email and sits in a moderation bin. They are always support oriented so it works out great. This way spam is also directed to my email instead of the website.

Software needs to up its game. Systems should have prevented the requested parameters.

Jet fighters do the same thing: convert control to the flight systems within an envelope.

Both incidents seem to involve ignition, so that seems to be an issue.

Wrong income stream.

Charge directly. The users have control now, better make with the changes or face loss of business.

Re:Ad blocker that clicks on the ads on Monday October 27, 2014 @10:57AM (#8515812)
We don't agree with ads as a means for 'paying for your hosting and content'.

Charge people for your content and hosting, but this ad business doesn't work because of one reason: the user has control now.

Can't be as shady anymore.

Definitely a Titan game! I like that people are requesting saved progress.

Uh no, you're a cursor, get back out there as a fresh cursor...
