5% royalty after the first $3,000

Is it just me, or does this seem quite generous? Certainly the cost of building your own engine from scratch would be more than 5% of development costs.

I guess it depends... It sounds that way to me too, but I saw a post on Facebook where a couple of developers commented that 5% of the gross (versus net) can kill a small developer's profits after a service like Steam takes its cut.

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

"Whut the he-il?"

Car had it coming, but him being on the phone isn't helping matters any.

The comments speculate he actually didn't see her, but it looks 100% deliberate on his part. What I can't believe is that she didn't see he was doing it before they hit.

Why not just ban me if it's such an annoyance? Or does the admin ego require regular inflating?

I'm assuming you've been banned in the past. The 'you shouldn't feel bad about this when this other possibly worse thing exists' schtick has a familiar ring.

is it true that colorblind people have better nightvision?

I don't know the science, but my personal experience suggests this is true. I have excellent night vision, and have had MrsBlue remark while driving at night that she couldn't understand how I could see where we were going amid oncoming headlights and such.

It was a gutsy move, and I applaud it, we are talking about a horror movie after all. "Feel good" hollywood subplots have no business being in a good horror film anyway. (Or in anything else for that matter)

Just to clarify, I don't think that the Newt subplot was weak in Aliens. It wasn't, it was an essential part of the film. However in Alien3, killing off both Newt and Hicks, also served the plot of the film greatly. First of all it was unexpected, and secondly it once again cast Ripley as an outsider even more isolated and vulnerable than before.

i'm not even sure anyone cares about the Aliens franchise anymore... it's been so long.

I'd say the response to this news and the collective horror at the failed promise of Prometheus suggest otherwise.

Man that would be cool. Wait. Hey! I actually liked Alien3. I guess I am alone on this planet in thinking it was a great film that put one of my favorite directors on the map.

You are not the only one who thought it put Fincher on the map, but yeah, the meetings of the club where it's considered a great film are probably going to be a bit lonely.

Charles Dance was awesome, as usual, though.

Why can't we delete our own posts?

You can edit them with the comment "derp" and it's the same thing. Pretty sure "Delete" is just for the admin.

Delete is indeed just an administrative function. And all it does is replace the text with something along the lines of *Deleted*, which you can do yourself by editing if it strikes your fancy.

How have you been able to get him used to the boots, Blue? I've been trying to get my doggies to wear them, and the second I put them on they just go into spazmo-paw frenzy until they can get them off again.

Explaining to them that "Now your paws will freeze and you'll whine at me that you're too cold when we need to go outside!" doesn't seem to help either.

It's all about the Gunnar-man's "unstoppable demeanor" I mentioned, as it took no effort on my part at all. I put the boots on him and while at first he stepped around oddly by carefully placing each foot, he quickly recognized that he could still get around and that was that. He's just not the type to let something stand in his way if he can help it, so they'd either have to be causing him severe discomfort or be chained to an anchor to stop him from going out on his adventure.

We're quite lucky, as he's a *very* easy dog to get along with. If it wasn't for his desire to mark the stove, he'd be about perfect.

out of idle curiosity, what's a largish breed that's basically a lazy bum and is otherwise low maintenace (low shedding, no slobbering, etc).

You sound like a possible candidate for a rescue Greyhound. They are apparently quite content to be couch potatoes after all the athletics.

I'm not sure if the Boxer recommendation was a joke, but to my experience they are pretty crazy.

They're energetic within their own space. They're family guard dogs so they're gentle with children and other pets. But they're a large breed that doesn't shed (well not like a long hair dog sheds) or slobber and they spend most of the day loafing about.

Here are some videos, showing their restrained energy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qlBn-nNIc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQVkYaaPO6g

I've got no personal experience from which to draw, I'm just going by what's said about the breed. A lot of what you describe sounds right, I'm just not sure that it's "basically a lazy bum."

Boxers are a bright, energetic and playful breed and tend to be very good with children.[4] They are patient and spirited with children but also protective, making them a popular choice for families.[4] They are active, strong dogs and require adequate exercise to prevent boredom-associated behaviors such as chewing, digging, or licking. Boxers have earned a slight reputation of being "headstrong," which can be related to inappropriate obedience training.

Clearly, the rational thing to do is leave this amazingness and return to the snowy hell that is NYC. Just signed my offer letter, I move back in March or April! Please, snow, be done by then!

Congrats. No worries. April in New York is beautiful everywhere but Citi Field.

I've been spending a lot of time of late with a dalmatian. It's one of the friendliest, sweetest dogs I've ever met, which goes against everything I know about the breed. They're so unmistakeable, too.

My impression of Dalmatians is that they are friendly and sweet, but not necessarily super smart, but that the perception of their lack of intelligence may stem how many of them turn out to have hearing loss.

Interesting, I would think the people who currently qualify to go on one way trip to Mars lack the survival instinct to return, thus should be disqualified as they do not represent the kind of individuals that are needed long-term to survive, discover, progress and colonize the planet. My logic sounds backwards but give it some more thought. Essentially, the candidates are willing to commit a 'glorious suicide', but that's not what humanity needs for a sustainable future. It would be the equivalent of testing mice in a maze and passing only those who are willing to jump over a ledge to a lower level (unable to ever return) in order to get the cheese. Sure the mouse got the cheese but in the end it died from lack of foresight -- not exactly a genetic trait that desirable to pass on. The best mouse would be one that is willing to get back and store the cheese for later.

So the people going on a suicide mission aren't suitable because they lack long term survival instinct?

Your logic sounds backwards because it is. Your weather trolling is much more solid.

Actually it was a stroke, but as far as I know he's made a complete recovery.

With California facing one of the most severe droughts on record, Governor Brown declared a drought State of Emergency in January and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for water shortages. The state has continued to lead the way to make sure California is able to cope with an unprecedented drought.
