The End of E3?

Ground Glass writes "Next Generation is reporting that E3 as we know it is finished. The games industry has lost its most glamorous show." Update: 07/30 21:18 GMT by Z : A reader wrote in with a link to an Ars Technica story saying that the event is to be downsized, not cancelled. From that article: "At the end of the day, the reason is very simple: ten years ago, you needed a big trade show to generate buzz and hype. It used to be that COMDEX was a special event because so much new stuff was unveiled, and this was the only way to see it. Now, however, information comes down the pipe faster than ever, and companies are wondering if there's really any benefit to spending the big money on displays only to share the floor with other competitors looking to out-wow attendees." I guess we'll see in a day or two what the future of E3 looks like.

Why is FP Redundant?

Sorry, but can someone explain to me how this is "impractical"? This is the core functionality of an SCM. What exactly is the point of using an SCM then, you may as well just use a shared network drive.

Do you guys all use ClearCase or something? Even ClearCase, despite being a horrendous pile of shit, can manage branching and merging decently.

I apologize for the extremely poor grammar and bad spelling above. Poetic, I reckon, rushing a response about E3 without reviewing it while trying to do other things.
