Why, then, is it that near every game comes out with an extensive modding platform if it is worth nothing to them? Your logic might make sense if you exclude the mountain of evidence that nullifies your whole point.
Pretty sure the Beatles own the trademark for "Apple", and that this has actually been a legal case in the past WITH Apple Computers. Ironically, the agreement was that Apple Computers could never use their "Apple" in association with music... iTunes = whoops?
Microsoft gave up on copy-protection software? What universe do you live in? I still get checked for Windows Genuine Advantage anytime I install something from microsoft.com. Windows Games checks your serial numbers of games for pirated licenses, so on. Palladium Lives.:D
I, personally, would like to see a period Batman film, set in the original 30s in a Dark Deco setting reminiscent of the ol' Bruce Timm animated series. I'm getting tired of "modernizations" of classic super heroes; genetically altered spiders, cell phone imaging computers, al qaeda terrorist caves, etc.
Congraturations, you get award: Reading Fail.
TFA's title = "Fork history does not favor OpenOffice.org"
OPENOFFICE, not LIBREOFFICE. No contradiction.
A fork in this context is when someone takes the code from a project and "forks" it on a different development path, like a "fork" in the road. OO.o went one way, Libre went the other.
Have a nice day.:)
Great job reading the article... "The service for Fedora and Ubuntu Desktop is free of charge. For other distributions, the subscription fee starts at $3.95 per system a month, after a 30-day free trial."
.Net tends to have a good performance. So far our apps have only been bottlenecked by the data storage backend used. Initially, we had used SQLCE because it can encrypt the entire DB easily, but this takes performance hits like SQLite, when you reach approx. 30,000 records in a table, it crawls. We have since migrated to SQLExpress and use per-field encryption, there is a considerable performance improvement. Like Java, C# has excellent garbage collection.
I think this area is mixed depending on the group. With the advent of Windows Vista and Windows 7, I foresee a much larger adoption of C# for app development. But one also has to consider the problem deploying a commercially-available software in C#. C#, at least in.Net, doesn't really fully compile, it packages (not unlike Mac's.app files). And unless you employ a source obfuscator, the entire source code and code logic is available simply by "unzipping" the.dlls. My suggestion to Microsoft is either allow a full binary compile in WPF/.Net, or build the obfuscator into VS as it is currently a real pain to employ.
On the one hand, you are right in not seeing much PHP in enterprise. However, your assessment of not seeing LAMP much in enterprise is bogus. The difference being most enterprise LAMP models are Perl or Python for the P, not PHP. And still others use Ruby. And many, many are hybrid models. Google, for instance, uses a lot of Python on their servers, but for many of their web pages they use PHP. Google is not an Enterprise? Yahoo uses PHP extensively, is not an Enterprise? Gag where you want, but get your info straight.
Now, I like C#, and so do many developers I know. But I, and many of those developers, strongly dislike ASP.Net. Where I work (yes, in the "industry") we do both app and web development. We use both LAMP and.Net extensively, depending on the case scenario. And I know many, many developers whose employers use the similar deployments. And we have "real jobs".

This package has been superceded by the package nintendochannel, proceed with install? [Y/n]
How much does it cost me if they have no data because I don't play much PVP FPSes?
Dwarf... Fortress... nuff said. People laughed, Toady did it anyway.
Like Sony cared much on how much money we spent on PS2 games when they took out the Backwards Compat on the PS3. :\
What is FB?

Dunno if you've noticed, but /. isn't exactly a "Front Page, Headline, World News" source. If you came here for that, maybe you should try CNN.

not to mention males!
open, standards-compliant, H.264 video.
What about H.264 is Open? Nada.
I read Opera also announced dropping H.264 support. I guess IE9 and Safari will be the only ones featuring it.

RTFA. Or even the stub. "Modern computers go too fast." It's not just about Operating System, it's also about hardware.
Like Mazeoid?

What's .NET?
A TLDN, duh.

Because, with preinstalled linuxes, NO problems is my experience.
Acer's spin of Linpus is horrible.
I use WPA2 at home on Arch, Moblin and Debian, works like a charm.
