Far more of your money is wasted by pork than tax cheats and dodges.... By sheer numbers your hate should be directed at federal pensions and military spending, not people trying to avoid paying for all the pork. From my perspective, you are looking at the wrong side of the equation.
He is saying that internally, they dont want to do a single player campaign. They feel this is the past, HL3 has to bring something new or they are not interested.
Lugging around workstation class hardware that gets hot and is VERY expensive is not my idea of forward thinking. $2000 in server class hardware is not AT ALL the same investment as a laptop gaming book, you are kidding yourself. Keep the big iron at the home base, travel with scouting gear.
Yes and no. I do use some of the apps, like Plex. It would be nice to use those apps without an MS account. Its weird to me that my PC has executables i cant do anything with.
NO need for that, the options are all there at install, even with net on. You dont HAVE to make an MS account, but you have to be diligent and look for the local account at creation. They hid the local account creation in GFWL, Win 8 and Win 10. In each instance you have to scroll down to see the options to create a local account. The point is MS is being shitheads about local accounts so its understandable people dont know about them.
To be fair, creating a local account is very discouraged, hidden AND you have no access to the Windows Store. You dont get the full OS without an MS account. Its an ok solution to a shit sandwich.
This is a signal to noise problem and has to always be accounted for. Every feedback mechanism has to accept crappy inputs and filter them. This is not new or unique. Be happy those people participated at all, the automated feedback from them is still valuable.,

Yes it does. Anyone that takes a life in cold-blood is a murderer, even when the State does it. Im ok with INDIVIDUALS enacting their own vengeance, but dont you dare ask the State to do your dirty work. If you want to kill a man, do it yourself, dont ask society to do it for you.
iTunes is a compromise between Apple and the music companies. More than anything, its the underlying reason why the music companies licensed to Apple. They could promise full end to end control of the music (at that time). Itunes is what it is due to political forces FAR MORE than technological ones.
Things use the bluetooth for audio so i can listen in bed with headphones or controller support, or run Plex client. You now the most basic shit a box like can do. I have 3 Apple TVs rotting in my closet because they refuse to innovate on it AT ALL. Every TV in the house had an ATV on it, until i got sick of them doing nothing. I replaced them with Chromecast, Android TV Nexus Player and Fire TV stick. ALL of them beat the pants off ATV.
"Take away the opportunity, and you take away the crime."
The motivation or need to steal will still exist, it will just wait for the next opportunity. Most people dont steal just to steal, they steal because they need something. While you and I might not agree with their needs, its real to them. Your statement shows a SHOCKING ignorance of true crime behavior.
Criminals dont have a quotas, but their needs/wants dont just disappear because they are turned back a few times.
What is not fair is expecting that every single person is a possible customer, and if that person hasnt passed you money, you deny him something that cost you nothing to reproduce (notice i didnt say 'nothing to produce', my issue is with trying to license 7 billion people).
The business model of making something and expecting infinite licensing needs to die, NOW. IP is not real, and should be discarded as we move into the Information Age. Find new business models, stop restricting thought for profit. Provide a better SERVICE.
Do you know WHY Google doesnt pay anything for Linux? Do you have any clue as to the drives and motivations that made that come to be? It came from the selfless pursuit to help mankind.... Believe it or not, there are humans who will gladly work for free to help other humans. This is Slashdot 101. If you dont know this, why are you here? You chose a very poor example.....
The true burden is not the cost in dollars, its the incredibly onerous control required to make it all work. Stop locking content behind paywalls. If your content is good, people will gladly pay you for it. IP is a prison, not a marketplace.
This is funny because i was just talking to my wife today about getting 2nd phone (a cheap winphone with Win 10 preview on it.) because my main phone is now so intimately tied to my private network that i need a 'clean' phone that doesnt have all of my details or access to deep into my network. She wanted me to put Uber on my phone, but i dont trust them to exist as an executable on my personal pocket computer. The 2nd phone will also act as a GPS tracker for my backpack and emergency backup. Your argument is flawed. If I, a lowly IT worker can see the need for separate physical hardware to get this level of privacy, why cant the experts she hired?
There is a kernel of truth to it. Console players are inherently limited in what they can grow into. I get what you are saying and PCmasterrace takes it WAY too far. Regardless of the history you think supports it, the MODERN console market is VERY different from the Nintendo generation. Nintendo games were hard, its a false comparison to say today's CoD player would be the same kid that played Battletoads or Lion King.
Consoles are toys. I say this as someone who OWNED a full size stand up Asteroids game when i was in the 4th grade. (post-crash purchase for $100). Pardon me while i unhook my 144HZ monitor and hook up my triple-head monitor system for some racing immersion using a steering wheel from the Playstation 2 era.. Try that on your console. Consoles are cool, but they are still jsut toys compared to a proper PC.

Get her a proper tower workstation/server at a desk that she can offload big jobs to and a cheap laptop to connect to it.
o god, i had no idea.......I wasnt promoting Formula E, i think its silly, but what you posted takes silly to a whole other level.
Formula E? http://www.fiaformulae.com/ You got Branson on the front page talking up how Formula E will bring tech breakthroughs.

I cast from Chrome on my Mac to Nexus Player on the TV in my office every single day......
