What's the first paragraph of the description say?

"...making Workshop mods now have the *option* for the developer to lock them behind a paywall..."

I understood it to be 25% goes to the mod maker and the remaining 75% goes to valve and bethesda (splitting to 30% to valve and 70% to bethesda). But maybe its 30% to valve then 70% to mod maker and bethesda (splitting it into 25% to mod maker and 75% to bethesda)? Either way its stupid.

Do you think auto repair and service centers should pay the car companies a percentage of their profits when they paint your car or make modifications to it?

The fact is modding has been grand for the last 30+ years without anyone doing it for the money. Some have gone on to make full games based on their mods and sold them, and there's no problem with that, because the mod still remains free.

Game companies like Bethesda release mod tools because it is good business for them. It extends the life of their games, grows their community and brings in more people who buy their games FOR the mods. Just go and have a look on the Nexus to see how many mods there are for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games.

Both Valve and Bethesda are now just in PR mode and trying to put out the fires. Do you think their sole intent was purely for the money to go to the mod makers like they say? Then why is the split so heavily in their favor and the mod makers are getting a pissy 25%. Its contradictory.

And if you think it's "playable fan-fiction" then you obviously have no idea what you're talking about

Sure, but with the latest Chromebook Pixel being USB-C, Google hinted that the next Nexus would also be USB-C.

USB-C is pretty cool, actually, so it doesn't bother me that much (already been from proprietary->mini USB->micro USB as far as chargers go anyway, plus custom variants of MHL ports). I'm looking forward to this all being standardised and approve of Apple going for a non-Apple proprietary port for once.

Nexus Lexus (dunno how it's spelt or written) was something i heard at university and it has to do with some sort of database of academic articles. So they will be from various journals, papers, magazines and similar publications but also research papers from universities and similar. Obviously those particular publications depend on the field in question. Nexus Lexus itself is a kind of learning and/or research tool for students and academics, it's the kind of thing your university set you up with an account for.

It seems that my votes only count if I am logged in, most of the time anyway. I've tried voting before at different computers without logging in and most of the time it shows the vote as working, but if I open a different browser to the video link (firefox to chrome, for example) it shows that the vote did not register.

I first noticed it when I was on my Nexus 7 and didn't feel like typing in my password, later I noticed the video had not went up in votes. Then I figured it might be because it was on the same router as my computer and it was to prevent people from 'gaming the system' and doing multiple votes for themselves. I then tried it on some of my friend's computers at different times and it was repeated there. It seems to be hit or miss, sometimes the vote counts and verifies in another browser, sometimes it doesn't.

For instance, today I tried to vote on http://videosift.com/video/How-did-the-car-appear without logging in. It showed the upvote in firefox, but in chrome it showed that it still had 9 votes. I logged in and voted and it went to 10, which chrome verified. I don't think it is a time delay either, because as soon as I am logged in and vote it goes through immediately.

Anyway, I thought you might want to investigate it. If someone has already pointed it out or I am just seeing issues that are not there, ignore this.

I believe in Stateless society, but I don't believe in privatization under a capitalist system. We need to find a balance between profitability and equal compensation for provider and receiver.

There is a role for limited government, but I think it's limited to a nexus for regulation, and nothing more. Let everything else be privatized, but to a very limited extent. Honestly I really think that everything should be non-profit, but I don't actually know how to propose something that isn't leaning towards communism.

I will gladly read the essay you linked to tomorrow, but from my understanding of human nature and history, I don't think there is any way to balance a for-profit enterprise without succumbing to the evils of man.

so I'm just going to own up to my SC2 newbishness. why did Dune quit?

he only had a probe or 2 to kill and he would have had free reign on the last nexus. It would have been insanely hard for Necros to mine anything wouldn't it?

Also a glaring bug I mentioned earlier in the big thread which I guess got lost in all the other conversations...

When I view VS from my Nexus 7, there are no options to advance to the next or previous page.

I primarily do my web surfing on my tablet or phone now. Since the upgrade, I can't use them to view VS reliably.

This may already be mentioned (TL; DR) but when browsing on My Nexus 7 tablet, I don't see page controls allowing me to go to the next page. They show up on my Samsung Galaxy S3 though.

Also I get a bunch of empty space at the end of each page (after the content, but before the footers).

@yellowc I think we're on the same track really. I do think a case of comparing devices based purely on specs is a bit infantile. But it's something that Apple invites with their hyperbolic presentations and marketing. If they didn't describe every part of their devices as 'Revolutionary' or 'Unsurpassed' or 'Magic', then there'd be no need to pick them apart. Google didn't do that with the Nexus 7, they went with the 'experience' angle, and from what I've heard it hits those marks (as you've said too). AND it's stupendously cheap. It almost made me want a tablet (I really see little use in tablets for tablet's sake... which is why the Surface excites me, it's a tablet and a laptop without lugging around a keyboard/mouse as a separate thing... but I digress).

Yes, I think we both agree that Apple do something just 'right' that hits a chord with so many people.

What gets me more than anything is their horrendously self important marketing (it started with the Mac vs PC pushing untruths about how Macs never crashed and Windows PCs always did), and how people just believe it to be true, how I hear people mindlessly regurgitating the Apple marketing spiel about how iDevice X has the best Y ever... and how Apple invented feature Q.

I don't think anyone can deny that Apple created this smartphone world we live in, the iPhone was a landmark device, but that doesn't mean that everything they do is the best.
