What part of "don't support gentoo" didn't you get? You basically rambled on about users faking their OS, which wouldn't be Blizzard's problem. You can do that now with any OS.
"Linux" is not an operating system, its a kernel. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. are Operating Systems.
As I said before, choose the OS's you will support and follow through.
(Disclaimer: I work for a highly secret govt. agency with unlimited resources).
Basically, a race of aliens threatened to build a new hyperspace-expressway through our solar system unless we provided the capital to bail out the luxury planet building markets. Apparently, the galactic economy recently collapsed and most of the universe is in a pretty bad recession.
Personally, I'm not sure how much of this is true but I agree, it's probably a combination of all three.
For our reference, please post an example of how C# is "more tolerable" than Java.
Please provide the reference with code samples for both languages.

Not only that, but the "standard" is of the type anyone with cash can buy.
The.NET "standards" weren't submitted to peer review, in a fashipn like IEEE. Instead, they were handed in a manilla folder to a cashier with a whole lot of money.
Voila, parts of.NET become a "standard".
Basically getting.NET "standardized" was fancy marketing campaign.

I can't wait until the Mono project completes their clone.

Way to go, idiot mods!
Sorry, that should have read "which is a component."
My bad.
Nope, wrong again.
Linux is a kernel, which is a format that comprises a major part of an operating system.
Jesus, read a book.

It's not that complicated.
Blizzard Folks:
Please release for Linux...Even if it's "as is" and officially unsupported.
Thanks, you'd prove that Blizzard deserves a place with the great game developers of all time!
and "It's a pain in the ass to support," meaning we'd have to write new screens for our support techs to read from.
Linux isn't hard to support, if you define a clear area of support.
Don't support gentoo and the other crazy distros. Only support Ubuntu and Fedora... that's the where the vast majority of users will be anyway.
I play ET: Quake Wars on linux regularly... works great!
Now you're talking!
Sounding more like a bargain every time this article is posted to Slashdot!
In Putin's Russia... it's probably cheaper than YOU think.
Anonymous troll confirms it, PC gaming is DYING!
Apparently, a Cheetah.
Yep, pretty much.
But just remember this old chestnut: No matter how bad things get... DON'T PANIC.
Yep, I've heard those and one other rumour.

Jack, jack jack.
I wish you'd just go back to writing your hilarious cartoons.
Wow, sounds like my boss!
Flash is far slower than Java and C.
Hopefully the new technologies that Adobe is adding with help though. The JIT-based VM should help a lot.
Adobe is turning Flash into something similar to Java but with better tools for design.
Because you're talking about things that take less than a second to do in either case.
This isn't an optimization any real developer would really sing the praises of.
Whats next? ".NET has one less letter in its name. It makes it so much easier to remember and more tolerable than Java."
Honestly, I was hoping someone would post something less trivial.
This doesn't really count.
Did you not read the post?

And I can use GNU/Cocotothorpe.
