I'm executing this FQL query to search the wall posts on my own timeline:
(Sorry for the link, it didn't appear nice)
Is this not supposed to return all status updates I have that includes the string "metallica"? Am I doing something wrong? The older posts (1-2 years old) don't return. Is this because:
Each query of the stream table is limited to the previous 30 days or 50 posts, whichever is greater, however you can use time-specific fields such as created_time along with FQL operators (such as < or >) to retrieve a much greater range of posts.

Top 10: Ways To Befriend The BartenderThe local pub is one thing: You probably went to school with the bartender, maybe he's your kid's godfather, there's a Bud waiting for you when you cozy up to the bar, you have a tab that doesn't require a credit card -- ever.
But going out to crowded bars in big cities is a whole different game, one that requires a combination of patience and social grace. For some people, noticing social cues and gaining favor with the bartender comes easily. For others, the waiting game can be frustrating or embarrassing.
AskMen spoke with bartenders to find out what makes an ideal patron.
Here are the top 10 ways to befriend the bartender.

The 7 Most Baffling Products Ever Released By Famous Brands
While you'd think a Girls Gone Wild apparel line would consist solely of the tear-away or crotch-less variety, the catalog is surprisingly filled with options a respectable skank could legally wear into a 7-11.
Also a full line of tasteful pants for amputees.
Long-sleeve shirts, sweatpants, leggings -- you can buy all manner of items intended to cover tits and asses stamped with the official logo of of the man who's committed several crimes trying to get them bared.
But don't feel left out, fellas: GGW offers hats, shorts and T-shirts that will let the whole world know "I'm down with pornography with minors and adults who are unaware of being filmed and/or too inebriated for proper decision making," well before you make your court-appointed stop at your neighbors' doorstep to tell them in person.
#2. Evian Water Bra
Ladies, do you have breasts? Do those breasts frequently burst into flames? Well then the Evian Water Bra is for you! Meant to "cool humid breasts," Evian is actively pursuing that valuable market of swamp-dwelling, giant-breasted she-moguls. If you were a bottled water company, what might you branch off into? Home purifiers? Flavored beverages? Swimwear?
Nope! Climate controlled boob-harnesses, all the way.
But hey, they're providing a valuable service here: No longer will your fiery bosoms immolate you, your loved ones and all those around you. Not as long as you simply fill the Evian Water Bra with as much cool, delicious Evian Water as is necessary to cool the heat of the thousand suns that dwells within your mammaries. Fret no more!
Well, we suppose you could just fill an Evian Water Bra with tap water, denying your breasts the expensive but pure, crisp, delicious taste in favor of slathering them in foul peasant water, but why would you? After all, what good is a cool breast, if it must come at the expense of refreshment?
#1. Kellogg's Urban Wear
The Street: A place where life can be bought with a handful of bullets. The only way to live is to live hard, and your rep is your only shield. Street-cred is the difference between standing your ground and laying dead in the street. And what says both that you are not a man to be fucked with--and that you understand black culture because you have lived the life--better than children's cereal?
Kellogg's "Under the Hood" urban wear lets everybody know that this hood is Tony the Tiger's turf, and if you step up you're likely to get a cap Snap, Crackle and Popped in your ass.
Though you undoubtedly look tough in your Honey Smacks low-riders, perhaps emblazoning the words "Dig'em" across your ass-cheeks sends the wrong message, suggesting less that you're a "hard-ass, big-ballin' gangsta" and more that you're, well... no, that's pretty apt, actually.
And that's not one isolated product and an unfortunate photo shoot: They really went full-bore trying to convince wannabe thugs to replace the gun and pot leaf patches on their ass with colorful parrots and suggestions that they like to be "frosted:"
Full Disclosure: Now that you're through laughing, you should know that all photo models pictured died mysteriously after repeatedly falling on moving bullets. Don't you feel bad?

1946 Chevy Truck - Black SatinWritten by on January 22, 2007 Contributors: Rich Boyd Nell & Rik King's '46 Chevy Shop Truck
We can relate to the oft heard tale of 5 to 5. If you're scratching your head with befuddlement, permit us to explain. We're referring to working on a truck from 5 p.m. on Friday evening to 5 p.m. on Sunday evening. Why would someone undertake such a difficult task, you ask? Have you ever owned a daily driver that was your sole means of transport? If the vehicle breaks down, the only way to get it back on the road is to work from 5 to 5. That's if the machine doesn't go south during the workweek. Then you might be looking at 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day. You get the picture.
Rik King's '46 Chevy shop truck didn't break down. Rather, Rik's a rake of a bloke. Standing tall at 6 feet 3 inches, he wanted room to stretch out in the Chevy's too-confined cab. One Friday evening he put the silver and blue pickup in his shop, Street Rod Concepts (SRC) in Clute, Texas, and set to thrashing. The Chevy emerged from SRC on Sunday evening all welded up and wearing suede, ready for the many workweeks ahead.
Throughout the next eight years, Rik spent most of his time growing his business. The '46 provided reliable transport much of the time, except when Rik and his crew could steal some hours improving the pickup
Improve is a gross understatement. For the chassis, SRC boxed the framerails' center section, welded on a '80 Camaro front clip and custom-built the frame's rear with 11/44-inch sheetmetal to form 2x4-inch rectangular tubing. They enhanced the IFS by replacing the Camaro's stamped control arms with Fat Man Fabrications tubular upper and lower control arms. QA1 coilover shocks were employed at each corner. Rik located a Posi 3.80:1-geared Ford eight-inch differential with a Panhard bar and a custom four-link.
Rik purchased a low-mileage used '96 LT1 engine from a swap meet to power the pickup. Apart from its awesome eight-velocity stack and custom-built air cleaner lid, the mill was left largely stock. With 19,000 miles to the motor's credit, it's nicely broken in. All SRC did to enhance the included 4L60E transmission was to equip it with a B&M trans cooler.
Years passed before SRC modified the Chevy's exterior, with the exception of stretching the cab for comfort. Rik did a massive amount of fabricating to get all the exterior panels exactly the way he wanted them. He built the tilt-forward hood and hood sides from scratch. His custom-crafted bed is double-walled, which moved the rear fenders out 2.5 inches on either side. This meant he had to fabricate custom running boards from 14-gauge sheetmetal and exhaust tubing to get the 'boards and the fenders fitting fine. When Rik was satisfied that all his fabricating was finished, he had his able painter Frank Reyes spray several coats of DuPont Hot Hues Satin Black on all the exterior panels. Once the paint had cured, Rik put the pickup back together and installed an all-new greenhouse from ulf Coast Glass in the Chevy's cab.
Fellow employee Philip Boykin wired the truck and installed Dakota Digital instruments in the custom dash. Rik didn't let the fact that he'd never done any upholstery work deter him from stitching the headliner and door panels using black ultraleather. When it came to covering the '93 Corvette bucket seats in the same faux hides, he had Shawn Cook of Cook's Upholstery in North Dallas, Texas, do the trimming.
We first saw Rik's Satin Chevy at the '05 Goodguys Lone Star Nationals. Considering how menacing the truck looks and how great it sounds, we gave the '46 a Custom Classic Trucks Top Ten award. While shooting the Chevy for a feature, Rik shared that the pickup was an off-and-on project in sync with the ebb and flow of his burgeoning street rod shop-totaling more than eight years of work. Without the help of his employees and friends-Philip Boykin, Chuck Johnson and Frank Reyes-the shop truck project would have taken much longer. Realizing this, Rik thanked his buddies almost as much as his wife, Nell, proving he's a very smart husband and custom classic truck builder.

Rik built both the bed sides and the bed floor. The bed floor was constructed from 18-gauge steel. Notice also the fuel filler door in the floor. SRC made the 11/48-inch-thick aluminum fuel tank and installed the 25-gallon container behind the differential, under the custom floor and between the rear custom SRC framerails.The owner's handiwork includes the custom roll pan, the third LED brake light under the rear windshield and the frenched LED taillights in the custom pan. Rik says the '46 Chevy is once again his daily driver and the Street Rod Concepts shop truck. Outstanding!Dakota Digital instruments and a Vintage Air Gen II Super Cooler for large-sedan HVAC registers fit the interior's modern theme perfectly and work even better.You already know the story behind these eight breathers, but we thought they looked most sanitary against the Frank Reyes-sprayed DuPont Hot Hues Satin Black paint. Wouldn't ya love to hear that mill howl?To fabricate the velocity stacks, the owner utilized eight exhaust tips and cut 'em short. The saucy Chevrolet shroud is comprised of a stainless steel salad bowl, electrical conduit and flat sheetmetal. We kid you not. The flat air filter underneath is a '76 Ford truck component. A Vintage Air Gen II A/C compressor enables the Chevy to cruise cool at will. For optimal air crossflow, a 36-inch-long aluminum Afco radiator was mounted as close to the Chevy's grille as possible. Accordingly, the '96 LT1 runs quite cool, too.Cook's Upholstery concocted some sweet stitch work on the '98 Corvette bucket seats. Black ultraleather worked wonderfully.
Hoosier meats wrap the American Racing Hopsters. The front wheels have a 3.5-inch backspace and are 15x6 inches. In the back, the 15x15-inch wheels have a 7.5-inch backspace.Despite the fact that the owner had never done upholstery work, he trimmed the door panels and the headliner with black ultraleather after borrowing his wife's Singer sewing machine. His Street Rod Concepts logo is emblazoned on the door panels. A little advertising never hurt any great pro hot rod shop.


text: I saw some art on one of those sheets of peel and cling Halloween window decorations in the store the other day, and I was looking for any ideas that I might have missed in the Halloween department. To my surprise I have covered basically everything. Everything except one thing; a drawing of a crescent shaped moon with a black cat standing on the ledge with it's back spiked. Today I will show you how you can draw a Halloween moon with simple steps. In the original picture on the clingy thingy, the cat was taller, slender and more cartoony instead of anime-ish and the moon was thicker with a face. I cut out the face and made the moon slender and cat thicker. I think you will enjoy drawing a cat in the moon the way you see it here. I still have one more lesson coming your way so stay tuned in.

Great show once again guys. Although I disagree with Mike about the Watchmen ending. Judge Brett Cullum explained why it works a few months ago :
I say the squid versus what hit the screen is apple and orange. Back in the Cold War the squid made sense since it was the only threat that could stop the escalation - a common enemy from space. But with today's modern sensibilities it makes more sense to have a weapon of "mass destruction" like Dr. Manhattan be a scapegoat. We like it because it fits the current era that much better, but back in 1989 or 90 I doubt it would resonate as well. I get why each one did what they did with the ending. Jury Room topic

I would like an example where the maximum principle fails in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ where one has a solution which is not $C^2(\Omega)$ to $Lu=0$ where $L$ is elliptic and linear. This obviously must rely on the coefficients being discontiuous for the elliptic operator since otherwise one can do interior regularity estimates. All of the examples I have tried to come up with turn out to not actually be weak solutions so I'm stuck on this. Perhaps maximum principles extend to the non-smooth setting? Any insight on this would be appreciated.
Yes indeed, the maximum principle extends to the non-smooth setting. I am not sure that there is a complete theory, because so many situations can occur. But at least let me mention the following situations.
Maximum principle, in general, can be applied in the viscosity solutions setting (in this case, the viscosity solution is only continuous). You can have a look at the excellent paper by Crandall-Ishii-Lions as following: http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9207212

I've been reading up on NoSQL, but I can't figure out one thing. Is it meant to be a replacement for traditional SQL, or is it meant to be used in conjunction with it?
Basically, what I'm asking (I think) is: if you have some structured data that could be represented in an SQL database with tables for each kind of object and connections between them (e.g. users, messages, friendships, whatever), are there any advantages / does it make sense to store all of it in a NoSQL database, or should you just store it in a traditional SQL database and use a NoSQL one just for the stuff that needs to be accessed more frequently (e.g. cache)?

We hit upon the same problem. Should be fixed in an upcoming version of Sencha Touch
16 Apr 2013 11:15 PM #12
I haven't updated my app yet, but looking at the source code it looks like this issue hasn't been fixed in 2.2.0.
It's closed, so unless somebody reopens it again it will never get fixed.

This bug also affects stores using memory proxies. Then you can just do:
It's obvious that no data is a valid, non-error condition, and shouldn't be treated as an error.
3 Jul 2013 12:10 PM #14
I'd like to second this bug. It's not just with Ajax proxies; it affects all proxies. Here's an example:
Ext.define('User', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', config: { fields: [ {name: 'id', type: 'int'}, {name: 'name', type: 'string'}, {name: 'phone', type: 'string', mapping: 'phoneNumber'} ] } }); var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { model: 'User', data : [], proxy: { type: 'memory', reader: { type: 'json' } } }); store.load({ callback: function(records, operation, success) { console.log(success); // logs "false" } });

|Literal English
|Village Hidden in Hot Water
|English TV
|Village Hidden in the Hotsprings
|Village Data
|Land of Hot Water
Yugakure (湯隠れの里, Yugakure no Sato, Literally Meaning "Village Hidden in Hot Water") is the village that the Akatsuki member Hidan originated from. It lies in the Land of Hot Water.
Once a ninja village, Yugakure decided that it didn't want to stay a hidden village and transitioned out into a peaceful and prosperous village instead, calling itself the village that has forgotten wars (戦を忘れた里, Ikusa o Wasureta Sato). However, Hidan, growing up, already showed a tendency towards violent Jashinist ways, disagreed with this and slaughtered his neighbours before leaving the village.
Part II
Three-Tails' Appearance
In the anime, when Kabuto Yakushi and Yūkimaru are on a journey, they stop here to rest. Yūkimaru meets Naruto Uzumaki in a hot spring and talks with him about how hearts can communicate. There wasn't much seen from the village in the episode, but it seemed small and had no protective walls, like other ninja villages had. It is possible it was merely a simple hot spring village unassociated with Yugakure.
- In Naruto episode 37, when the Third Hokage is providing an explanation for the Chūnin Exams, a masked ninja with a symbol similar to Yugakure's is briefly shown.
- Although Yugakure is no longer a hidden village, one of its shinobi, named Kazan, appears in Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison.
- Shinobi of this village are recurring enemies in Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles.

I hope that something will be put on the case about this activation method, It certainly stops me buying the new game as I have no internet at home so couldn't activate it.
Poor Move
I hope that something will be put on the case about this activation method, It certainly stops me buying the new game as I have no internet at home so couldn't activate it.
Poor Move
I have purchased EVERY version of CM/FM with only perhaps 3 exceptions since the original Championship Manager in what, 1993? I had also even booked time off work to play the new version, which shows how much I was looking forward to it. But I am now seriously, SERIOUSLY considering not buying this version for this reason only and no other. I am purchasing one piece of software in FM, and do not expect to be dictated to in any way by the makers of that software as far as what other software I do and don't have to have installed on my PC in order to play it. This is not a case of being "worried" about installing Steam due to bad experiences I've heard of others having, or had myself, it's simply a matter of principle. The computer I use is built by me, has only programs and software on it that I have elected to install, and what I do or do not have installed on it is, quite frankly, no body else's business, be it yours, or anyone elses.
Again, I'm not saying at all I am concerned about what Steam as a program itself, but with the money I will pay for this game, the game I have spent a good proportion of my life playing, now also comes a diction that I must install a secondary, third party piece of software onto my computer because some people don't pay for the game, thus meaning you lose money. It would not be considered acceptable if, for example, I purchased a CD or DVD which I wished to use/watch through my computer, and it did not let me unless I used Windows Media Player, so I don't see why this is considered acceptable.
If this move/decision had been taken with the environment in mind, ie. digital download through Steam ONLY to cut down on the plastic/packaging used in shipping a game to shops, as well as the carbon footprint that leaves, then fine. But such a decision would potentially cost you money because casual gamers may not know where to obtain the game from, so that's clearly not an option. Far better to dictate to hundreds of thousands of your customers what other software they have installed on their computers to use your product.
I have to ask as well, these people who are worried about having to be connected to the Internet, are you never able to download the official patches either?
Look, if someone gets your account and password, they can get into your account. Regardless of whether or not you set the application to offline on your computer. Your games are saved on Steam servers. It is an internet based application.
Look at it this way - if you don't have the internet at all, then you can't use Steam. That is not a local application, that is an internet basned application. Steam requires the internet at one stage, or another, in order for it to what it is designed to do. I can't possible make it more clear. It is an internet based application.
How many things do you register for on the internet? I bet you give out your email address on a weekly basis. Buy stuff from Amazon? iTunes? Buy anything from eBay? Put your credit information to attend online seminars? Or to buy a video or music? Buy Plane Tickets online?
If you do any of these things, then Steam is perfectly safe for you.
If you don't - it's your loss. Steam is totally secure. If it has security issues that you are concerned about then Contact Steam.
And you accuse me of spouting misinformation.
Steam is secure.
maybe alittle off topic here but...the Price for FM 2012 on steam is £29.99.....the price on play.com is £29.99 - the same.
Surely if im purchasing the game through steam i should expect to pay less, after all there will be no packaging, no disc, no user manual - All this additional cost which SI will not have to pay for, meaning more profit per game sold on Steam.
My question is will you be making the game cheaper on steam?, say £19.99 that would be a fair price IMO.
Thank you
I'm planing on buying a new PC for Christmas so my question is, if I install the game on my PC and then i switch to a better PC, can I install Steam and Football Manager in that other PC?
This is not an issue for me has i already pre purchased FM 2012 on steam
Haters gonna Hate even for dumb reasons
If you buy the game on Steam you will install it through steam. And if you uninstall it you will have to install again via steam and an active internet connection.
If you buy the CD however, you don't need to do this. So if it's about installing the game through Steam, then don't buy it through steam.
You can install through the CD - open Steam Online for 2 minutes to activate the Game and be on your way.
Do you understand this?
I guess I'm not buying the game this year.
This is . The game will be cracked on release day, if not before. So, as always, only paying customers will suffer.
Read. Please. I'm at the point of begging you ffs.
Anything that you need to register with over the internet needs to be secured appropriately. I am not saying that Steam is a security risk, I have never said that despite your poor attempts at understanding..anything I've said about anything.
What I am saying is that anything that requires a username and password has the potential to be hacked, therefore it is a security risk. This goes for any webservice that you sign up for. Any webservice at all.
Can you please try and understand that? The fact that Amazon also requires an email address and password is irrelevant.
I'm not against the this move as I stopped using disks for anything ages ago.
But the reasoning you will combat piracy is absolutely ridiculous. Every single "steam protected" game has been cracked.
Whoever used pirated games before will go to the same place to get their new copy and wouldn't care less if you changed the protection. So effectively I don't see how somebody who pirated the games before won't do it now. To really change this you have two options:
1. Use a copy protection which hasn't been cracked. I know one and it would probably cause even bigger outrage.
2. Ask why people are pirating - they are either too lazy to get to the store (digital distribution) or can't afford the game (lower price).
Publishers really had a chance to kill two birds with one stone using digital distribution, but they opted for keeping there even higher prices than the brick and mortar stores, which is financially illogical.
You can reason that Steam is cool and bringing a lot of convenience, but combating piracy? Don't insult our intelligence.
The only thing you are achieving is annoying people who hate change and ultimately they may opt for the pirated version, which won't require any pesky activation. I'm saying you could have marketed this decision better.

Well this is ridiculous. My Steam in Offline Mode wishes to reconnect every 20 minutes by CLOSING everything open and then reloading Steam. I've changed settings, I've had Steams HORRENDOUS technical help attempt to fix it, i've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed laptops and installed it, and it still bloody does it!!! So if I'm playing a game in offline mode it throws me off after 20 minutes and I have to reopen it, and half the time I lose any game progress. Its immensely annoying and frustrating.
Steam is a 1000000% unstable platform offline. And half the time I'm travelling and playing FM. I don't have internet. What am I meant to do?
Horrendous decision SI.
Besides that, that was not the main point of the example, which I'm sure you know.
It was a minor example demonstrating yet another way in which it is an internet based application.
I also think this is an attempt to stop or shrink down the second hand sales. I.e, you could buy FM and activate it via steam then sell it on, but the user would have to use it with the disc in drive.
Sounds perfectly fair to me.
Granted, some people are going a bit OTT with all this. I have said that I won't be buying FM this year as I won't be having Steam on my PC and that's that. I accept that this now means I won't be able to play FM12 but I can live with that no problem.
For you to come on and say that though and sook up SI's ass is just pure immature - get a life!
Why can't people read?
Can you read the first bolded part?
Anything that requires an email and password needs to be secured properly. It's not even a major point, it's just one that Eugene feels he has a foothold on because he can't counter anything else with something that isn't misinformation.
It's not just anything with a username and password that can be hacked. You can be hacked by simply being connected to the internet.
Yes email accounts and services you subscribe can be hacked.
Same as someone can through your rubbish bins and take your credit card information or whatever you have.
Same as someone can rob you at knife or gun point and take your wallet and force you to withdraw your account
Yes people steal things. Even on the internet. Is that your point?
If that's your concern then unplug the internet right now. Don't go outside again. And lock your doors and keep that shotgun loaded. (might want to get some cats to throw at people as they walk by too).
I've had to re-install steam when it's completely stopped working, can be a nightmare at times.
Guys, please stop throwing around insults.
I have always bought the original game and like many others i was very excited to play FM 12. I even pre-ordered it 1 month ago with amazon. Now i just don't want it anymore. Not even for free. Steam? You must be joking! I'd rather type in 10000 serial numbers copied from the back of the box than to register with steam. Enought for me now.
You're demonstrating that you're afraid your account will be hacked. Well it might be. But you might be robbed tomorrow. Or the next day. Or you might have your ATM card scammed.
What are you going to do, not use ATM machines anymore? Walk around with wallet full of cash until you're robbed? Then what?
Billions of people securely use online facilities everyday without being hacked.
Sure you might get hacked, then you most probably will not.
Steam is great anyway, its unintrusive, automatically downloads any updates to your games, can be set to "offline mode" so you dont even need to be online ( bar the activation ), has loads of great bundle deals for other games. There is no negative to this, all you need to do is download a little program, literally nothing to moan about
This is an awful move, FM is the one game you can play which doesn't need your entire focus, so i always have the game going in the background while i play other games (mostly via steam) - however now i won't be able to because steam will only let you open one game at once. I don't have a problem with steam itself, i play a lot of CS and other online games (for which steam is good, because people can't play on verified servers without having a legitimate account, and steam even simplifies the difficulties once had with various online games in actually getting online, configuring and playing against other people), but it seems stupid for the ONE single player game i actually play, to restrict me to solely playing that, unless i buy a second PC and play it on a different steam account?
Even so, for the reasons given, it's a bit of an ignorant decision anyway - the main reason steam games are "more difficult" to crack and copy than other methods is because of the fact that when you connect to a server, they're connected to a master server and if you're not on a legitimate account then you're unable to play online. For single player games however, the steam launcher and GCF file system was cracked years ago, and you can simply download a different client and play without having to connect to anything - it's just a launcher for the way steam store their games.
For FM, a game predominantly played single player, with very little online need, it's just going to simplify copying it. The cracked steam clients even DOWNLOAD the game for you from the official steam servers, no need to search certain websites, crack the game or whatever anymore, and hope it works for each patch; just boot up the launcher, download the game and play.
Of course, it won't impact the sales - the majority of people who buy the game won't browse these forums, and won't be aware of the fact steam is necessary now. But i'd just hope people realise how much easier playing an offline game is on steam than a standard one. You don't have to crack the actual game, but the steam platform (which is already done).
Still gonna buy it to support the game, but i'm more than likely gonna have to play a "different" way so i can still play other games on steam simultaneously.
Let me summarise.
I said, to start with, as it requires an email address and password, it should be secured appropriately.
You said "it's not a threat to online security".
I said, no, but it needs to be secured properly.
You said "it's not a thread to online security"
I said, no, but it needs to be secured properly, like every other web based service.
You said "lock yourself inside with a shotgun because you could also be mugged or have your rubbish rifled through."
Why did you take that line of argument, and continue to take while completely disregarding what my point was?
Of course steam will not save to the internet if it can't get to the internet, it was just yet another way of demonstrating how it is an internet based application, it having internet backups and all. I am not particularly worried about having my account hacked I am merely stating a list of things that people need to be aware of.
I don't want to have to type that out again, please just read it and process it.

FFS SI do you not listen to those of us that do actually buy the game. Shame on whoever made that decision, I'll wager a Sega directive rather than an SI one - if I am wrong then you, SI, have really lost touch with your people!
For the prpose of this email this tone is very very restrained from what I actually think.
I always figured this was the end-game.
I've been using Steam pretty much since it's launch, and I've only bought a handful of non-steam games.
I've got no problem with Steam at all.
Steam has an offline mode as well, so it's no big deal.
You can install from the disc anyway.
I wonder if it's going to end up on the 'new download content' side of things.
I think this is a really poor decision. Many people such as myself dislike Steam because having to have it's stupid client open drains system resources, which is particularly annoying on the lower end computers. I note that the below average PC's of FM users have long been a reason for poor high-res support and lack of 64-bit amongst other things, but I see this has now been discarded. It also means that I have to connect to the internet to start the game, and given my net is intermittent at best this will be very aggravating. I am by no means against having Steam as an option, as I can see its benefits and why some people prefer it, but forcing software on us is not cool. And no, it won't stop piracy - that has never ever been done by anyone, and Steam has continually failed. The best solution is to convince people not to pirate it by making it as easy to install and unintrusive as possible and accept that some people will anyway. This just hurts honest consumers and increases piracy as people want to do things like play it on multiple computers or without Steam. I know it would be foolish of me to state that I will pirate the game here, but I can honestly see many people doing so just to avoid the hassle and convince SI not to make this kind of move in the future.
there's really no point in arguing this at all. you can see how much SI/SEGA care about their core fanbase simply buy the replies of 'don't buy it then' (pretty much) by the staff on here. (i thought they were trying to stop a decrease in sales. obviously dont care too much by these replies!)
You don't have to connect to internet to start the game. Just to activate it. Put Steam into offline mode once activated and you can play without even being connected to the internet.
You must have a very poor quality computer for Steam to have any affect that is noticeable on your system resources.
I think this is absolutely appalling.
I have a steam account and it was once hacked/stolen. In the time taken (2 weeks) to recover my account i was not able to play any games associated with that ID.
I have bought every edition of CM/FM from the very first but I will not buy this one. If it was up to me I may very well activated it on steam, but to not give me the choice is a step too far.
If you have bought a disc that should be verification enough.
I REALLY hate Steam... But I already have it on my PC to play 'The Last Remnant'. I'd rather avoid having another game on it because I did run into some issues with it (Steam not updating, for example).
But whatever, you gotta do what you gotta do. I love FM too much to pass up on it.
Digital distribution is increasing, but not to the point as to where the physical copy will be eliminated.
If caps on broadband in this and other countries publishers wont get rid of the physical copy just yet.
Even the next gaming consoles will be, in my opinion, physical media based.
My broadband is capped at 30GB a month for around £19.90 monthly fee. What if I wanted to download legally the Star Wars blu ray that's just been released? How big would that be? Plus not everyone has mega download speeds. I don't. I don't live in an area with a massive LLU presence and my download speeds are around 260 kb/s or kbs. I don't see massive change in the near future on that front. I don't see bandwidth caps being abolished for the average broadband consumer.
The list of games you have purchased is stored on Steam servers, that's it.
IMO this is a smart decision of SI to at least try it out to see if it helps. They have to do something and IMO Steam is a good option to choose. If you disapprove, then dont buy FM2012..
Ignoring that point the fact still remains. FM's fan base has been one of the most loyal for a long while and over the past few years they have felt increasingly aggrieved by SI and it's policies towards them and the community. Fact is the whole SI community and Affiliate scheme is the biggest joke ever, ideas like this are the biggest joke ever and yet you still wonder whilst people still feel aggrieved and unfairly treated by SI.
Will I still be able to install the game from the disk? In previous years when I've bought the disk and installed through this apparently apocalypse creating bit of software otherwise known as steam, it downloaded the game instead of installing from disk (unless I did something wrong in my haste to play) when the game was sat in my disk drive!! In the end I gave up and installed without steam due to my impatience not paranoia.
Saying it needs to be secured properly means that you need to give it a decent password that is not the same as your email password. That is securing it properly, that applies to every web service you sign up to. This is my point. Not that Steam itself is a security risk, that has never been my point.
Em, you do have one need for it.
I am not sure what the fuss is about with steam.. I have used it for a while and think its great. access to game without having the disk all the time, can play on other computers as well
Brilliant !!
That should upset a few people but hey ho :-)
If it will really help to piracy to decrease, then I appreciate but I do not think it will help, especially in Turkey. Instead of giving such amounts to play (it is really really expensive in Turkey), people can just give up playing Football Manager. At least FM2012.
I use Steam for 2 years, so I have no problem with the decision but just want to know, do you really think that it will decrease the piracy? If you think so, I will be just wishing that you're right.
So basically your forcing people to get Steam to activate, and also your alienating people that dont have an internet connection. Just like FM09 when I didnt have one and was forced to phone a premium rate number to activate my game. Absolute farce.
I wont be purchasing this years game now. I was contemplating it anyway as its just crap feature after crap feature, and bug after bug because of said poorly tested features each year, but this has just tipped it over the edge.
i dont like the fact that to play my favourite game of the year every year i have to install a third party software which in my previous experience has used a lot of resources (all be it on laptops with 1-2 gb of ram) an i feel that a lot of people playing the game will have a lot of crashes due to having to use this.
also one other point if there is only one way to activate the game is through steam then there is going to be chaos with loads of people trying to activate the game at once which will surely lead to more people being annoyed because it was bad enough a couple years back when we had two options to activate the game and it took me best part of a whole day to activate so surely with only 1 option to activate it will take twice as log to be able to activate.
The law usually says if you buy something you own the title and can do what you like, and putting it on two computers isn't against the law no matter what the "EULA" says. Especially if he doesn't circumvent any copy protection to do so.
Don't quote me on that, but I'm just saying that the reality isn't going to be black and white.
Anyway, I already pre-ordered on steam.
I really don't understand what's all that fuss is all about.
When I discovered, that I could register my FM10 with Steam I was delighted. Especially, since I play FM both on Mac and PC and before Steam I had to keep DVD in my Mac's drive.
I think only three kinds of people will have any problems with this -
- Those, who buy one copy and use it on couple (or even more) computers, sharing the game with friends etc. In other words, pirates.
- People paranoid about privacy etc. And I really mean PARANOID, not 'aware' or anything like this. That kind of people who don't use gmail, because 'google reads their email, so the ads are relevant to the mail's content'.
- Those who just don't understand what steam is and are scared of new things.
For any other, normal, user this move makes total sense. Steam came out like 5, 6 years ago? Maybe even earlier, I don't remember, but it's a really good program. Millions of people use it every day and have no problems with it.
-And yes, you can't resale game. That's true. But what's the resale value of FM11 now? 5$? Cmon.
-If anything happen with your account you can easily get it back with help from their help support, the only thing you'll need is the cd-key of the first game you registered there.
-It requires internet connection only once, to install and activate game. Then, you can turn on offline mode and stay in it for months (at least, never tried that for longer then 2). And if you're going to say 'I will not remain logged in on my personal computer because it's not safe' - you're paranoid. That's it.
-Steam has the ability to store savegames, but I don't think FM will use it - their saves are too big.
-You can use any datapacks, facepacks, kitpacks etc when using FM on steam, it'll be just in different folder.
-This program uses hardly no resources at all, so don't be afraid, that your computer will run slower.
-Game autoupdates when online, which is really convenient.
-There is no reason why there should be any problem with activating FM on the first day - first of all, it's not the most popular game on the earth and secondly - Steam really has experience with this.
And the person who asked wheter you can buy FM on Steam - yes, with CC, paypal or in some other way.
So there's that. Good move. Thumbs up SI.
And anyone, who is unsure because some people say it's the end of the world - don't worry, Steam works great and you all will be fine.

I live in Rural Shropshire and do not have access to the internet! Does this mean that because of this I cannot play football manager???
Also are you selling the game in shops with the Disk? If so what is the point if we have to use steam anyway? Really not happy with this news and may be the first time in 12 years that I do not purchase the game!
More people play the game pirated each year than do legally. To say that piracy helps sales when that's the case is just rubbish. Piracy is illegal and it threatens the continuation of any creative product including FM.
FM selling more games is to the benefit of those who buy the game legally as well. The more we sell, the more is invested into the studio and the more progress we can make with each iteration.
This thread is ridiculous, think people are massively overreacting.
19,853 current FM11 players on Steam will be fine with picking up FM12 on Steam.
It seems like the only way to play this game without steam is by waiting for the pirated version..
I really hope that the one time steam activation will combat piracy, but do you have any figures that prove that steam activated games are less pirated? To me the decision seems to be more based on nudging us towards the use of steam. I would not at all be surprised if Steam pays you guys for the extra signed up members, because everyone who downloads steam will see the ads. This makes the decision perfectly logical, but hardly made out of security reasons.
These are just my 2 cents and I may be completely wrong, but a quick search shows that all the popular Steam titles are available on the common torrent websites and makes me doubt that the nuisance for paying customers is worth it.
- On a completely different note: When (And I say when because I will buy it) I activate my CD through steam, does that mean that I no longer have to play with the CD?
If people were only willing to pay what is required in full & not exploit loopholes to get a free lunch then we would be in a much better place but I'm afraid such a place is just a pipe dream.

Piracy is a big problem but the games industry (and other industries) need to think of better ways to overcome it, or earn money. In game advertisements would be one way (as even pirates are exposed to them, if they can't be turned off.) - although some people will see that as an even worse move than using Steam
Bertie BG - "More people play the game pirated each year than do legally." - Complete crap, now SI are even resorting to bull to try to wriggle out of this one.
To answer your question. Once activated through Steam you won't need the CD any more.
No overreaction here and no hysterics. I just don't want Steam on my computer. I've installed it before, didn't like it and have never installed it since. In this day and age, it is nice to have a choice to be honest. I don't like having to pay my hard earned money for a game then be told I have to install a piece of Software I don't want, to be able to play it.
I've bought every single game this company has produced and even bought extra copies when i've been stupid enough to lose a copy. Piracy?
You've just lost a customer.
And if everybody needs internet access and Steam to activate anyway, people may aswell just buy it through steam. Are you sure you havent taken any money off Steam?

Construction project closes stretch of West Carson Street for 2 years
Nearby business owners worry about financial impact
The outbound lanes of West Carson Street from the West End Bridge to McKees Rocks are closed as part of a construction project that is expected to last two years.
PennDOT said the detour route went into effect at 6 a.m. Saturday.
Drivers will be detoured on the West End Bridge, Route 65 and the McKees Rocks Bridge, while inbound traffic will stay at a single lane. The construction project is expected to be completed in late August 2015.
Nearby business owners are hoping the project won't also detour customers.
"Road closures, a lot of times, hurt us more than help us," said restaurant owner Valerie Clancy. "Folks around here like to get their food in a certain amount of time, and if all of a sudden we have to go over an hour, that could negatively affect us."
Fellow business owner Chuck Schneider said he's also preparing financially.
"I've heard of it taking down other businesses in other areas where similar things have happened, so it's always a bit of a concern," he said.
PennDOT said the project includes replacing a structurally deficient viaduct that supports part of Route 51 between the West End Circle and Stanhope Street. Other work will include wall and sidewalk rehabilitation, road reconstruction, drainage upgrades, signal improvements and utility relocation.

There are never any more entries in 'myUniqueProxy-0' other than the one I want, however it looks like there are tons entries for '0' in 'myUniquProxy'. Apparently one for every save despite it being the same record.
Here's an image of what I'm seeing (don't pay attention to any malformed data, I modified it for this post):
My proxy is setup like this:
proxy : { type : 'localstorage', id : 'myUniqueProxy', }
{ name : 'id', type : 'integer', defaultValue : 0, isUnique : true }
Am I doing something wrong to get so many entries in the 'myUniqueProxy' entry?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi there,
I was wondering if you happened to find a workaround for this? When you reload the page do you automatically get more entries in local storage. There should only be one entry in localstorage which we update, but it appears to create new objects upon refresh.
Thanks. :-)

All I can remember is a man is running through a city where he is seeing colorful CGI looking blobs/objects in the sky. but i think only he can see them. I thought I remember it being about companies doing mind control to make you buy things. They find out he can see these things and chase after him. Any ideas?
I should have added it is not They Live. I think it's more recent like past 3 years. I also thought it had something to do with the word "Logo" something in the title. I could have completely dreamed this as the more I think about it.
The blobs/objects of different shapes were seemed to come out of buildings. the blobs also start attacking him. (for some reason I start to think of bees similar to the bees from "Lawnmower Man")

I make a fair amount of small mistakes when I code (things such as getting an angle bracket to the wrong direction). It adds a fair amount of time to my coding because I have to debug several times and iron out the dinks. Have you got any advice on how to stop these mistakes creeping in?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The best method I have found is to follow test-driven development, and just write or change a small amount of code before running the tests. Then if there is a failure, you only have to analyze the small amount of new code. This means that every interesting method needs a test.
Here are a fiew options to eliminate annoying and common coding mistakes:
Some editors and IDEs will auto-complete lots of small things for you, such as adding in braces, brackets, parentheses, as well as partial code structures for loops, etc... Yours might have that option and it might help to learn how to use it and take advantage of it.
Pair Programming is great for catching small mistakes. The downside is that it requires a second developer. The upside is that you get great code quality.
When my company did some experiments with pair programming, my partner and I would often get code that worked correctly the very first time it was run.
The Personal Software Process, from the same folks who created the CMMI, has a methodology that I find useful in ferreting out the kinds of coding mistakes that you are looking to eliminate.
The PSP provides a checklist of common coding mistakes -- missing semicolons, unbalanced parentheses, and the like. The PSP mandates that you perform this check of your code before you even compile:
The key is to only look for one type of coding error at a time. Narrowing your focus leads to much more effective detection.
The other key point is to customize the checklist over time to include the kinds of mistakes that you are most likely to make.

A relative has given us a Hasbro card game called Ratuki - the rules for which can be found here.
I just can't decide how the RATUKI cards are meant to work though. In normal play, a stack must be started with a 1 card, and a stack can only be added to with a card one higher or one lower in value than the current top card. If you play a 5 card to the top of a stack, you shout "RATUKI!" and claim that stack.
A RATUKI card "counts as any number you like" - so you can start a stack with it, and play it onto any stack.
My question is, does a RATUKI card once played keep the value it was played "as"? e.g. if you start a stack with a RATUKI card, is the only valid play on top of that a 2 card? If a RATUKI is played on top of a 2, do you have to specify whether it is a 1 or a 3 and does that information persist (possibly quite a challenge to enforce, in this fast paced game).
The other option is that a RATUKI card can be played as anything and immediately counts as anything. But if this is so, can you essentially slam a RATUKI onto any stack, immediately shout "RATUKI!" and claim that stack? If you start a stack with a RATUKI card, can you immediately claim that stack at the same time?
Are there any card games with an analogous mechanic that shed any light on how the designers probably intended this game to be played?

Mosaic's preference is to locate the proposed plant adjacent to the company's existing Faustina fertilizer manufacturing operations in St. James Parish, Louisiana. It would have a capacity of 2,200 tpd.
Mosaic on Thursday awarded Technip with the front-end
engineering and design (FEED) contract, as well as preparation
of the corresponding engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) proposal, for a
new ammonia plant under consideration in

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Here is the question:
Question. Show that the equation $$x^2+y^2+z^2=16(xy+yz+zx-1)$$ does no have integer solutions.
I know a nice and easy (actually, an obvious) way to solve this problem. But I'm just wondering can we solve this using infinite descent method? I remember I saw a solution using that method, but it was wrong.

"A spellbinding and eloquent story of tragedy, courage, and the triumph of one man determined to see that his shipmates did not die in vain." —Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down
In 1983 the Marine Electric, a "reconditioned" World War II vessel, was on a routine voyage thirty miles off the East Coast of the United States when disaster struck: The old coal carrier sank in the frigid forty-foot waves and subzero winds of the Atlantic, and of the thirty-four men aboard, only three survived. Until the Sea Shall Free Them recounts in compelling detail the wreck of the Marine Electric and the legal drama that unfolded in its wake—a lawsuit that led to vital reforms in the laws regarding the safety of ships.

In America, the phrase "cool nerds" is an oxymoron.
"A geek suggests a person with special expertise, while nerd suggests social ineptness ... neither are cool."
Because of the brainy stereotypes associated with courses in math, science, and computer science, Anderegg said, young people "sabotage themselves in these fields, and the nation's work force is suffering."
Anderegg, who authored the book Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them, said the answer to this problem "is to put to bed [the words] 'nerd' and 'geek.'"
The story, which can be read here, has sparked debate on news sites and blogs (including his own) around the world.

Individuals looking for a job in the shale oil and gas industry can access job openings by visiting the online directory at www.shaledirectories.com/marcellus-and-utica-shale-jobs.html.
Developed by Joseph Barone, ShaleDirectories.com brings the oil and gas industry together with local businesses in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and New York. The website has a database of 160,000 businesses in the Marcellus and Utica shale region, which includes the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.
"While jobs seekers have seen numerous new stories about tens of thousands of jobs coming with the drilling, they have been frustrated because these jobs have not been easy to find," Barone said. "These jobs are posted on the websites of many of the oil and gas operators, but the websites are difficult for job-seekers to navigate. On most websites, the jobs are not identified as Marcellus or Utica shale jobs."
Barone said ShaleDirectors.com has a section of job titles, descriptions and education/experience requirements from the American Petroleum Institute, information job-seekers need to help determine which jobs best fit their education and experience.
He said they currently have listings for 26 jobs, but points out that many of the companies need a number of individuals for each job posted, so the listings in actuality represent "hundreds of job openings."
"We understand the plight of today's job seeker and have made the jobs very easy to find and apply for," Barone said, adding the need for workers "is only going to increase as Pennsylvania and West Virginia's drilling activity remains active and Ohio begins to ramp up."
