Its so the game can run on machines like my nephew's Celeron 1610 with ATI 7750 (GDDR5). I built it as an experiment in low power gaming last year. He says the game runs GREAT. The devs said that if they used compressed audio, dual core machines would churn an entire core on decoding the audio.
Did you ever play Dreamcast? A screen on a controller is bloody BRILLIANT if you can pull it off. The only reason they are pulling it is because of economics, not lack of features or functionality. The X doesnt cross between functionality vs cost, that doesnt mean its useless or dumb.
Exactly, the commerce clause specifically prohibits double dipping taxes between states. If you are getting taxed in one, it is deductible in the other.
NO its not justified. Our cops are WAY too trigger happy. We need to stop teaching our cops that its ok to fire at the slightest thought of danger. That officer should be arrested and charged with murder for firing on a non-threat.
NO its just a fucking joke trying to compare Microsoft's malfeasance with Google's. Microsoft pulled some TRULY evil shit back in the day, and continues to this day with some pretty stupid restrictions on its OS.
Correction, their job is to protect the STATE. The citizenry is protected as being part of the State, but not like you would think or expect. The State > you.
Keep in mind MS first party studios are a joke compared to Sony's. Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Polyphony Digital, Sucker Punch, Incognito and Guerilla are going to WIPE THE FLOOR with Xbox One in terms of graphical fidelity.
Intel and AMD were never fighting. Intel allows AMD to exist, flat out. Intel isn't just Goliath to AMDs David, its 10 Goliaths on steroids. Intel DWARFS AMD.
Most of the time, if Apple locks you out of something, its for your own good. If Ms locks you out of something, in the OS, its because they expect you to pay more. Group/local policy being a HUGE offender.

MS and Respawn are hand-tuning the game to get it to 'first-party' level optimization. That was probably the absolute best they could get out of it.
240 GB Crucial M500 SSD is $119 on amazon right now. $.50/GB for future tech storage. Stop complaining or use HDDs.

The only thing the VLC Metro app does is crash.

Anyone who complains about the browser thing OBVIOUSLY doesn't know the reasons why that was done.
And why is that my concern? It will be as hard as WE AS A NATION decide it to be. Did you ever think WE DONT WANT TO MAKE IT EASY?
Not only that but now the machine will have THREE personalities. Win 8 desktop, Modern UI and Android.

Noooooooo, ALL Xbox peripherals have to be signed by MS. (except flash drives etc)
Kinect is definitely some cool tech, but its price/value proposition sucks.

To be fair, MS WANTED it to be integral, to the point of sticking the Xbox One in a loop until the Kinect was plugged in.
The Kinect is like a badass engine with no transmission. Yes the tech is great, but MS ham-fists it pretty badly.
You summed up exactly why i got a day-one PS4, even after they shit on my PS3 Linux and stifled Geohot. They listened, and its very apparent.

You can legally photocopy the book and store the backup as long as you retain the original.
WIth the current state of copyright, its impossible for content creators to claim the moral high ground you are attempting to stand on.
A better argument is to ignore copyright altogether.
If you are going to spout law, at least get your terms straight. Improperly applied licenses is not stealing in any sense of the word.
Doesn't matter. Once the file is on my device, Amazon should NOT be able to remove it without a court order.
