With machines, just remember the "clicks" or "notches" to compare progress. You'll never really know the real weight because who knows the maintenance on them and the amounts of friction per machine that are inherent let alone the pivot points that allow for leverage that can vary.

The system could only display 400-something colors at a time. Once you reduce the number of colors that can be used, you lose gradients so one color doesn't ease into another color. Due to this, art styles were typically different and used contrast to "pop" the characters and items visuals in game since being more realistic wasn't an easy (or possible) option.

Now that we can have millions of colors, you can do whatever style you want.

A similar thing happened as polygon counts went up.

I agree, but I think it's more than that. Even if you think Trump is telling the truth and all of this is a made up lie (even though there are other signs like cheating on his wife to sleep with porn stars and being caught on a mic saying he just grabs women by the pussy), IT'S EXTREMELY DUMB for him to keep talking about it!

Trump should be renamed to Xenu.

See guys - he just looks like a turtle. He's really a pussy.

Careful Nintendo. If backing up a game I purchased and playing it any way I want is stealing, then I might as well skip the first step.

I only partnered with people for projects where we were forced to work together (this was rare). I've asked a few questions during office hours regarding some work. I could absolutely do both of these things from home. It may be better to do in person classes for some people who like the interaction and overall "college experience," but that comes down to preference. If people knew they could do all of it from home for free AND they could take a test to prove the knowledge, many wouldn't definitely take that route.

If that's your definition then it's the same as college. Most courses I took had 200-300 students in a large auditorium where we just sat there a listened to the professor, took notes, read the book (that cost $300) and took a few tests. I also took a few online courses in obtaining my degree. Educating myself later was faster and more efficient.

I learned new programming languages online using courses like those. I use them fairly consistently at work. I also went to a 4 year university prior to that. Learning online was both cheaper and faster. Also, a few university classes I took were 100% online. No difference except for cost.

I test those that I hire now with real-world problems - all of which have college degrees due to company policy to limit which resumes I can see based on requirements. There's a huge difference between these people - some don't know anything and some are fairly well-versed. This standard education thing isn't working.

I've never heard this one! Hahahahaha! wow!

This doesn't put education into the hands of corporations. It's here already... on the internet. You can watch entire Standford or MIT courses for nothing right now.
