i thought that was specifically for the voice recognition ones but apparently not.

dispatching goblins. good luck!

yeah the bloom and the ~brown~ certainly didn’t help.

i remember in the early days of dolphin’s wii support, when this and skyward sword had a weird thing where the size of the bloom didn’t scale with the resolution but the intensity did, so in higher than native a quarter of the screen would just be completely blown out.

it’s a tsunami. uncontrollable, started far away from any normal humans, sweeps up everyone in its wake, and will cause massive damage when it inevitably crashes into a place with lots of people.

ibm is still huge, but mostly because their shitty tactics in the past means that all their customers are completely dependent on them.

seems like microsoft is taking inspiration.

you’re absolutely right! substituting pigeons.

funny you should use that example in particular because i recently had the displeasure of using microsoft’s phone tree. i was trying to close a dead relative’s account and the info on the website was wrong.

they built a phone tree that remembers you. if you try to call in multiple times during some time period (at least several hours) it will just assume you have the same question and skip to your last choice.

“for financial services, press one. for technical support, press two. for goblins, press three. for repairs, press four.”

god this game was blurry.

gotta jerk’em first, get those fluids out

no, i was hired because the previous guy did.

my worst one allowed me to do a python import on an excel sheet.

my second worst script so far is probably the one i had to slow down in an attempt to not crash a hospital.

i think the smallest possible valid program on the 2600 is like 9 bytes, but it doesn’t draw anything. with 14 they got a few static coloured pixels in a corner. don’t know if they ever uploaded it.

Edit: there are nome 16-byte demos for the 2600 that fill the screen, so it makes sense that skipping that step would make it smaller.

i’ve had to deal with situations like that before, not specifically because of gpl but because of international regulations. one of my customers was a digital id provider, and they had one of those super-accurate timekeeping/cryptography servers they needed to move from lithuania to sweden. because of laws surrounding encryption of personal information, the server would count as compromised if there was ever a single second where it was left without supervision. so they had two of their people drive non-stop through poland, germany, denmark and half of sweden with the server on a ups in the back seat.

well then. my argument is moot.

sounds like it says that to me. “we can’t send you the source over the internet because of security reasons so you need to pay us for a plane ticket so one of our representatives can give you a cd directly” is evil and stupid but completely reasonable in a legal sense.

i’m using “on top” rather flippantly here, since orca is AGPL. but bambu may also have separate code running on the machines that is not agpl.
