For example, Uncharted: Drake's Whatever offers non-gimmicky controls then, out of nowhere, stops you cold with a screen where you have to (and I am not even kidding) hold the Vita's rear camera against a bright light source. I was playing this in Washington State, in a bus, in November... where the holy fuck was I supposed to find a bright light source?!

Actually I enjoyed Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. But it's also on DS, so that's not really an argument for buying a Vita...The only other game on it that I'd consider good is Mutant Blobs Attack, which is also on iOS and PC so that's not really an argument for buying a Vita...

@joe.edwards said:The obvious solution to me would be for it to not link to a repository but rather to a given tag (eg v1.2).No. It's a terrible idea. For many, many reasons.
I wouldn't completely agree. The php composer tool works on a similar principle: there is a json file which tells the composer which library and which version/tag to download (you can say something like "2.0." or "<= 1.6. and > 2.0.0").
We're using the composer where i work and i find it to be a pretty cool thing.
We got bit once when a 3rd party library introduced a bug, but it was caught in the testing process and we simply fixed the library to the last working version.

Context managers / thewith
statement is nice to know about. It's pretty much Python's equivalent to theusing
statement.
yup the tutorial didn't mention the context managers and although the one time evaluation of the parameter list was mentioned, it didn't occur to me that it could be used as a static variable

Shamus tries Linux. Finds it's an unusable mess. Big shocker.
there are numerous tutorials on how to start programming in c/c++ on linux including installing a compiler, (one of) the IDE(s), necessary libs, headers etc.
so i guess his mistake was he was expecting to automatically know how everything works on linux just because he did the same thing under windows.
i recently wanted to try python. although i'm extremely proficient in several programming languages, i first did a couple of beginner tutorials to get the basic
principles (although many were familiar) and installed the development environment using a tutorial. since then i have switched some tools with alternatives,
but not being arrogant and assuming i know everything about development saved me a lot of nerves.
i don't think the comments are an appropriate measure for the popularity of an article.
that being said, errord are becoming increasingly lame

they take my moneys and send me an email with the scanned psn card.

Nope, I use Windows at work every day and Linux at home. The specs of the machine are similar, although I a wider variety of things on my machine at home. The Windows build is fairly new (less than a year old Win7 build) and my OS at home is Fedora 14 (comparitively old by Linux standards) and guess which one I have more crashes/freezes on? That's right, it's your lovely Windows. Kinda blows your argument out a bit doesn't it. The only way I could use this Windows machine every day and not have problems with it is if I don't actually do much work or just severely slow down my output. As far as I'm concerned, if the computer can't keep up with some simple work that I'm doing, then there's a problem.
ok i'll bite the trollbait ... what are you doing with your win7 machine that it crashes every day ?
(i run shittyadobe products every day and haven't managed to crash it once in almost a year)

In terms of Brit comedies, check out the following (if not already done so):
- Blackadder - season 2 was the best, and the ending of 4 is regarded as one of the finest closures to any series ever devised.
- Monty Python - precursor to Fawlty Towers. Seems the idea of Fawlty Towers emerged when the Python team spent a week on location filming, and their treatment by a customer-hostile B&B owner inspired John Cleese.
- Coupling - underrated series written by Steven Moffet (of DrWho/Sherlock fame). It went abroad but failed miserably in USA.
- Benny Hill - completely misogynistic sexist schoolboy bollock. If only to give an idea of how far we've come, and those antiquated 70's attitudes.
- The Goodies - 70's drug-induced nonsensical mindfuck that still pretty abstract by today's standards
- Drop The Dead Donkey/Have I Got News For You - topics news stuff, but it's time-constrined to events that took place that particular week. Last time I caught repeats of Donkey, they opened the programme with a brief summary of current events to put the humour into context.

Are you sitting in front of a desktop computer right now? Try holding your arm up and lightly resting a finger on the center of your monitor. Now hold it there for, say, a minute. Now imagine doing that all day.
Touch computing works fine for handheld devices, where operating them takes little more than wrist movement. For the desktop though, it's an ergonomic trainwreck.

The problem here is the lack of distinction between being "technically correct" and the "real world". The former is what you're arguing, as are other people, while the latter is what it is. While it is technically correct that Amazon's services should work with low TTLs, in the real world they do not because it is a well-known fact that there are services out there that do not respect the TTLs of DNS.
