Considering the price premium on electrics, and that this is a daily commute car not a long holiday trip car, it's probably far more economical to get a small, gas powered car. As your second car. I live in a country smaller than a lot of US states, and it's still too big to use something with 150 miles of range on holidays. So you can't even consider it as the first car. Or what am I supposed to do, stop in halfway and recharge for 8 hours?
Oh. He WORKS for EA. Go hide under a rock, worm. There's this gem of a presentation in the article comments on Polygon, done by the same person defending F2P: http://www.slideshare.net/bcou...
Whoever defends the current "free to play" is defending the new Dungeon Keeper and PvZ 2. You have to have serious mental problems to do that. Maybe the article author hasn't taken his medication lately?
Even the free community edition supports Android development. No need for the Android Sudio thingy, i've been using IntelliJ for ages. As for Eclipse, I don't think I have a computer powerful enough to run it. It's only a Core i7 with 32 Gb ram
I've been trying to switch my gaming purchases to GoG anyway, mainly because it's a pain to game on both a laptop and desktop with Steam. This is just another reason for it. All GoG needs is to start supporting Linux...
The beta crap has annoyed me enough to change my signature for the first time since i registered on Slashdot. I'm not even going to try the comments system, but please make your designer eat all his whitespace. We're not buying 24-27-30 inch monitors to stare at patches of white.
The problem with products bought by Oracle is that if you're small and they suddenly decide to ask for a lot of money for what was previously free, you're screwed. Better to take preemptive action and switch away from them as soon as possible.
If anyone is willing to give any money to EA... i've got a bridge i wanna sell to you. I don't care how many donations they make to charities, most of their games, especially Sim City, are shit - and not only because of the always online mode. Remember the old Bioware RPGs? Now they're cover based linear erm... something. Not shooter, not RPG, less than either. And those games somewhat worth playing are tied into their useless online service, for which I can't be bothered to sign up.
Actually they don't have a huge catalogue, since it will supposedly run Linux. Unless they'll provide a lot of games prepackaged with a version of Wine customized to run like lightning on their hardware... hmm...
Been a KDE user for a loong while, but that's not what I'm posting about. As a programmer, i'd very much rather write an application for Qt than for GTK. Qt (at least until version 4) was much easier to work with, not to mention much more cross platform than the GTK ports. I'm probably not the only one who feels that way. But they're probably a bit right. I contract, 80% of my work is Android software, the rest is command line Linux. No one wants me to build a desktop app for them, although they see the desktop programming experience from a few years ago.

Now where are my 2Tb+ 2.5" hard drives?

Good thing I run FlashBlock :)
And this makes it better how?

One can always release Confection Made With Sugar And Often Flavoring And Filling Crush!

Isn't that the charger for older aluminium powerbooks? Barrel plug and a light at the end...
... as easily as the current microUSB connector?
And this is one of the reasons I'll get my PS4 next summer at the earliest.
The other being that there are fuck all games to play on it at the moment.
Subject says it all.
All games will disappear when the publisher pulls the plug on the server, not only the ones from EA.
How about worrying about the future of some innovative games people actually care about?
On further reading, apparently not. All "modern" 3d shooters are the same...

... why explore space at all? Even robots aren't cost effective, are they?
What ever happened to "because it's there"?

The only person that could write a sequel died in 1982. This will automatically be a steaming pile of shit.
If you need/want 3D performance you should still get a discrete video card.
Agreed. There's no point in looking at anything but NVidia with their proprietary drivers if you want 3D performance and stability on Linux.
