One of my favourite cocktails.

Quick, give that man a bucket of meths.

Zenkraft · 2012-02-07T11:24:13.225539+00:00

I'm being technically correct. The best kind of correct!

Zenkraft · 2012-02-07T08:49:41.216718+00:00

Sort of. What people usually think of a mojito is not actually a true mojito. Mojitos are white rum (or tafia), mint sprigs, lime juice, sugar (preferably cane sugar juice) and optionally topped with soda (soda being a modern addition). The lime pieces are not placed in the glass or muddled with the sugar and mint.

Most bars and mixologists do add the lime chunks whole and muddle them with the rest though (as pictured here), similar in style to a caipirinha. This still makes a tasty drink but it's a sort of mojitirinha rather than a true classic mojito. The use of unrefined sugar crystals in the pictured drink again makes it closer to a caipirinha than the first glance would suggest.

(I've been a making cocktails for years).

99 cents?

wirplit · 2012-02-07T06:02:38.725648+00:00

Yes, the name is counter-intuitive. They're largely for copyright reform and do not blanketly support nicking everything for free. Come and ask the party about policies if you can be arsed :)

Oui.

IT contractors here (London) are treated very differently, they're usually paid vastly more and join companies as short term problem solvers and are expected to be at the top of their field.

I assume from your description that's not the case there? Most contractors here are contracting because they've developed enough experience to move into contracting from full time work.

Fair enough, cheerrs for clarifying. I do understand the value of marketing, I spend half my own time doing PR and marketing work as well as development. Development is usually a lot more work.

Good luck with your game.

I don't wish to put you off here but anyone suitably talented to be your coder will likely have their own ideas and concepts. Your only real hope is appeal to something like the FOSS community and hope someone is interested enough as a mutual project, but I can't see it happening. Having an idea, domains, social media accounts and offering to market the project is about 1/50th of the total workload. The designer does a bit but there's usually only so much artwork required for mobile games. All the rest is your developer. Depending on your project managing experience they might be required to design the entire project (in terms of structurally planning it and designing or extending a game engine) as well as develop it. Anyone can "design" an application or concept for a game.

Basically you're asking for someone to do almost all of the work of your idea for free to get a portfolio peice that may or may not go anywhere, with "attribution". Not a great deal. Why don't you have a go at the iOS SDK yourself for a bit then ask people when you hit a problem? It's not that bad to play with to be honest and there's near unlimited help kicking about for when you get stuck.

This was not meant as a total negative comment, all I mean is that you need to make your offer better to attract a developer.

Why would you fence off a public area?

It's widely reported they were going to test these cameras in "trouble hotspots" such as town centers filled with drunks. Outside some guys flat doesn't seem too appropriate.

I'm paying more in rent for a loft-style large (800sqf) studio in London per year than you did for your school.

London is just wrong.

jimjay · 2 days

What the fuck? Seriously? We're deploying talking cameras to "process" people if they walk into "restricted areas" now?

Fair enough, cheers for correction. I still don't want to have to install Origin, however.

What kicked it off was Mass Effect 3 being an Origin exclusive and not being on Steam, if I remember.

Something browser based would probably work, Chromium with the Google chat plugin and Google+ hangouts might be OK.

There are ARM versions, assuming that's what runs on all the Skype-branded mobile phones.

I'd have suggested taking it and giving £1000 each to the 1000 lowest paid staff members in RBS, but yeah similar idea.

Even if they had to wait two years for his stock options to mature it would have been pretty great all round.

But The Science is A-OK if it's to spread the word of jesus! Otherwise it's for fags, yes.

All you need is a media cartel in on the game, 40 years of agressive anti-intellectualism and some dickheads on TV to run about screaming "DER TUK DER JERBS! TERRIZM! HE NO 'MERICAN?!" to get the masses to vote against themselves.

Who knew it could be so easy.

Just finishing this bickering off with it's inevitable final conclusion.

Usually because if you get a phone on a contract there is an obligation you have to use the carrier-approved spam-filled version. Removing it is technically a violation of your contract and therefore illegal. Helping people remove the spam-approved version by writing software to remove it is also illegal. Obviously.

Additionally you only have a license to the software that was originally installed on the phone, I suppose you could replace it with the exact same copy and it not be illegal, but what would be the point in that.

Yeah, there is a lot of difference.

All the benchmarks include the VideoCore IV GPU which can by itself run applications, SoC's like the Broadcom in the Pi are basically powerful GPU's with tiny CPU's stuck to them.

For media, the Pi will compare well to the current smart phones and tablets.

memoryfailure · 12 days

Previous iterations of the Broadcom SoC that powers the Pi have been used in iPods and other popular mobile devices, it's a fair comparison. Power requirements are likely to be similar, the Pi will draw a little more as it has onboard ethernet (on the B model), USB hub and other additional things.

Power draw of the CPU and GPU are equivolent to a modern smart phone though.
