Some Senator's kid maxed out their data plan in a few days and now they're writing an angry customer service letter.
I really hope the outcome is that cell companies are forced to get rid of caps but we all know how much money telecom companies donate to prevent this kind of regulation.
Another short video by the BBC about the same incident with an interview with Sasha Lazutkin, one of the Cosmonauts on the station at the time but not the one controlling the cargo ship: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p028l07k
The article seems to ignore why many people buy a console over a pc (aside from price). When you buy an xbox or playstation you know that it should play all of the games released for the next 5 years or so.
Coming out with an xbox 1.5 or xbox 10 that obsoletes current gen consoles midway through a generation would be the biggest change ever to the game console business. Probably the worst thing they could do would be to make a new "low-cost" xbox that can't run games that are already out.
I can see Microsoft experimenting with doing small hardware improvements in a mid-cycle revision but I doubt they will make drastic changes.
The Independent Games Festival gives awards out to plenty of games no one has ever heard of.
Even the Game Awards, the most Oscar-like award show that video games have, gives awards to smaller, more "artsy" titles. For instance "Her Story" won best narrative for 2015 over more mainstream blockbuster titles like "The Witcher 3".
A simple trick: For 11 x a 2-digit number you can simply take the first digit of the 2-digit number then the 2 digits of the number added together then the last digit of the 2-digit number.
Ex: 11 * 12 = 132 or 1, 1+2, 2. 11 * 45 = 495 or 4, 4+5, 5. For numbers which sum to more than 10 add the carry to the first number ex: 11 * 59 = 649 or 5, 5+9 = 14 so add 1 to the initial 5 and keep the 4, 9.
Imagine there's a place you want to get to along with a lot of other people.
It starts as a nice queue and is pretty orderly but then some people start pushing in and trying to jump ahead in the line. Other people see this and try the same thing. If there's no good exit or crowd control then the back of the crowd slowly pushes against the front until disaster occurs.
People in the back have no idea that there is nowhere to go but they've been standing for hours and want to keep moving forward.
When you complete a tile shape using smaller tiles the game zooms out and the shape you just completed is falling into a new self-tiling shape. Inception Noise
It's funny how commercial Banksy's art has become. People track down his art, rip it out of walls and sell it for millions of dollars to the very people that the art is mocking.
I like what Max Tempkin said in regards to selling people literal crap for $6 a piece: "... [T]here's no protesting capitalism. There's nothing you can say about capitalism that it won't subsume and sell back to you." [1]
