So what do people think about this...

I was not going to purchase anything, as I have already played Trine, and have no real interest in the other games, but with that said, I figure a donation of $5 is better then nothing right?

I donated $5, even though I probably will never get the time to play more than 30 minutes of any of them. But what the heck, it's better than buying fast food tonight for the same price, haha.

If you already own some of the games then I would just factor that into the amount you chose to pay. Having no idea how I would enjoy them I paid $5. If I enjoy the games then I will top up my purchase price like I did with the second bundle when they added in the first one for free :)

I love how the average Linux donation is almost double the average PC and Mac donations. Represent! ;)

I already have Trine, but I think I might just go ahead and drop $10 on this anyways, just to support the cause. I've skipped my daily coffee enough times this month to justify the purchase :laugh: .

Purchased.

The downloads from the main Humble Bundle site are indeed very slow, which is to be expected, so I just activated the key on Steam, and am getting my normal fast Steam download speeds.

Figured why not check out Shadowgrounds: Survivor. (Y)

Hey... every penny helps. Even 1 cent is better than nothing... no? (It's not much better but still hah!)

Under a certain threshold - the transaction fees outweigh the amount pledged so no, they end up out of pocket if people pay $0.01.

No, a 1 cent donation is actually a loss to them due to fees incurred in the transaction.

If you want to be cheap, at least kick in a buck. It's less than what almost anyone would waste in a week.

I'm not sure about PayPal or Google Checkout, but Amazon won't let you donate an amount so low that they'd end up losing money. No idea what the threshold is there though. And when I bought it yesterday, at the time, they said Google Checkout was having issues with amounts under $0.30. And PayPal was acting like a git; when I logged in, it would not let me pay with my bank account, it wanted me to transfer ?5 into my PayPal account, so I had to pay as a guest. :pinch:

Purchased.

Trine looks nice, and those two Shadowgrounds games could potentially be about as fun as Dead Nation (even if probably not as polished) :unsure:

Well worth $20, IMO.

I love how the average Linux donation is almost double the average PC and Mac donations.

And here was I thinking that we were the cheapskates :whistle:

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
