    My PC has 32 GB of RAM sitting unused by the game as it reloads the areas from disk over and over again. If I enter, exit, then reenter the same building, the areas are reloaded from disk every time.

    Sounds like your OS has a major bug. Free memory should be used as disk cache. There's no reason a user program should be trying to keep stuff in memory, that's the OS's job.

    And to make sure you enjoy them, especially the rotating items on display during loading, the engineers brilliantly injected a random delay of up to 1 minute each time you enter a building or fast travel.

    Well the new hardcore/survival mode partly fixes that -- you can't fast travel.

    Fallout 4 at anywhere between $150M and $250M

    Considering that gamers are entirely unimpressed with it, thats really sad.

    I've yet to meet a single person that cares at all about Fallout 4. Its just another New Vegas ... which is to say: Its a let down for all of us still hoping to get that feeling we got from Fallout 3 back.

    Hi, Fallout 4 fan here. Now you've "met" one.

    It's strange to claim that Fallout 4 is "just another New Vegas" -- the complaint from all the Black Isle/Obsidian fans is that Fallout 4 isn't like NV, Fallout 2 and Fallout 1.

    In French when one says something like "The elephants" it is normal to attach the "S" sound of "Les" to the vowel of "elephants" -- "Les elephants is pronounced like "lay Zelephants".

    Which leads to the childish joke -- when asked to name an animal with a name starting with a Z instead of replying "Zebra" as expected you reply "oh, there are lots -- les Zelephants, les Zautruches (ostriches), les Zhiboux (Hiboux, owls, the H is silent)..."

  16. No it isn't. It's the C library.

  17. No, I'm not talking about copying source code.

    I'm literally talking about some fly by night "consultant" copying /usr/lib/libc.so.1 from a UNIX system to a Linux system so that their crappy app written for SCO UNIX could be run on Linux.

    This actually happened. Go look at the very first filings from TSCOG and you'll see that that was what they were first complaining about.

    But then they went mad.

    They sold SCO UNIX and UnixWare to Xinuos.

  19. The joke is that the original claims from Caldera had some truth. It's just that someone went insane and thought they could sick up IBM for money.

    If you go back to the very beginning you'll find that what was happening was that some unscrupulous consultants were porting applications from SCO UNIX to Linux by copying the SCO shared libraries to Linux systems without a license. Somehow, by a convoluted system of chinese whispers this got misunderstood as "Linux contains UNIX code", and some crazy person at Caldera's eyes lit up with flashing dollar signs.

    And the rest is hysteria.

    Duh. I once asked an executive why they didn't sue another company who had given them grief. Executive said it's a good way to waste your employee's time and your company's money. He said suing isn't a good business plan. SCO should have listened.

    Oh, SCO listened. That's why they sold their rights to sell UNIX to Caldera.

    They must have long gone but founders Doug Michels and Larry Michels must cringe everytime they hear someone mention SCO.

    Doug and Larry have nothing to do with TSCOG.
