How is this the future? It's just yet another multi-platform framework. There are plenty of others that can give the same desktop/mobile coverage. They are a dime a dozen and have been for years.
Actually, yes, the way the merger went down does guarantee that for Blizzard. They were not bought by Activision as they turned down Activision when they attempted that.
One of the intriguing things about the old Vivendi structure was that, even when Martin Tremblay joined to run Vivendi's publishing, it was specified: "World Of Warcraft creator Blizzard Entertainment has been designated a stand-alone division reporting to VU Games' CEO, and is not part of Tremblay's product development mandate."
And it's the same deal, more or less, in the new system - Mike Morhaime will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Blizzard Entertainment, and no explicit reporting structure is even discussed in the release. Blizzard will continue to plough its own furrow, then.
You can believe me or not. I couldn't care less. Everything I've said is easily found in public information about both the merger deal and Blizzard's autonomous status and the fact that it is its own publisher.
Their name is still Blizzard Entertainment. Their name is not different. Also, their autonomy was part of the merger deal which they vubtarily agreed to. There was no forcing of anything.
See, unlike everyother distro, when you install something on Ubuntu, it'll work (sample: everything I've installed) - and I mean using the distro's software manager - even Windows can't make that claim. Calibre for example. Updating Calibre on XP involves uninstalling and installing again; otherwise if you don't do the uninstall f the old version, when you run it, you get the old version. Ubuntu just upgrades with no hassles.
Then that means Calibre's installer is broken. That has nothing to do with the OS.
Right, because the Khronos Group has never produced over-engineered standards before. Did you actually type that without having to bust out laughing? Because I sure did reading your post.
Activision doesn't publish Blizzard's games. It is its own publisher just as it was before their merger. It is also run on its own separate from the parent corp. Bobby Kotick doesn't run Blizzard. That was part of their merger deal. Get some facts before spewing shit.
No, they did not confirm it. As I said, they had nothing at all to do with the "fix". You pulled this whole "EA confirmed the fix" out of someone's orifice.
So as was pointed out, she was being a hypocrite. This would be like claiming to have been an abolitionist yet owning slaves and saying "Oh well, the system allows me to do so". It's fucking bullshit.
Slashdot Mirror
Firmly mediocre. Yep, that describes Slashdot to a T.
And yet when people used it on the Nexus 7 it was horrendous as a touch interface.
ParityNews is just a regurgitation blog, anyway.
Again, what relevance does that have to the review?

And also he was referring to new age music not new age religion. And, tes, many refer to her music as being part of that genre.
It was a terrible attempt at a joke. He was not being serious. Take the stick out of your ass.
That is said in regard to hard sciences. Not the soft, "social" sciences. Trying to equate the two is to try to muddy things.
There is no perhaps. It is broken.

Emphasis added by me.

So I should buy a $100,000 electric 'luxury' car for a five milte commute to work each day?
No one is telling you to.
That's a drive to visit my girlfriend's parents, which we do several times a year, with a five minute stop for fuel along the way.
So basically the vast majority of the year you'll never hit the mileage range limit. Gotcha.
For $100,000, most people expect a car that they can actually use without having to ask the manufacturer whether they can turn the heater on.
They won't. Most people don't do 300 mile trips on a daily basis.
Because you aren't driving 200 or even 600 miles most days without a stop? If you do, then clearly this isn't a car for you.
And you and the GP are irrelevant minorities.
They didn't popularize it, though. It was already popular long before they made an iPhone or iPad.
Even better is when the editors actually do try to edit and then end up adding in their own typos and shitty grammar.
No, they did not confirm it. As I said, they had nothing at all to do with the "fix". You pulled this whole "EA confirmed the fix" out of someone's orifice.
We can hope for a future of working machines and humans enjoying themselves.
Hahaha, good joke.
EA was not involved in that "fix" at all. It was some guy jacking with his game files that created it. Want to try again?
His point was that EA didn't post the fix. The link is to a third party website.
So as was pointed out, she was being a hypocrite. This would be like claiming to have been an abolitionist yet owning slaves and saying "Oh well, the system allows me to do so". It's fucking bullshit.
