I like and occasionally use Powershell, but it's hard to get excited about it, knowing that it'd probably sink with Microsoft. I'd be happier if the source were published, like other shell languages. I don't want to waste time on a skillset that's tied to a single company.
Legally this is problematic, as without a license, nobody has any permission to distribute the software. Github can, certainly, as the author gave permission explicitly, but copyright is "default-deny" - there's no distribution permitted without explicit permission.
So, an eeebil corporation (or anyone else) can't take your work at all. They'd be in the wrong if they did. Similarly, if you took the work, changed it, and redistributed it, you'd also be in the wrong. Plain copyright applies unless overridden.
I had not heard that Simcity was going to be always-online DRM'd. That's a little sad; I was looking forward to it. I hope that they change that policy.
No contest. Theft-resistant, cheap, flexible, light, and did I mention cheap. Having been to many a conference, I've never needed to copy anything out of my paper notepad that would have been significantly easier with a tablet.
YMMV I suppose. If you haven't developed a writing callous, doing anything more than brief point form notes every few minutes will hurt.
I'm sorry, I don't speak whatever language that was, and Google Translate doesn't recognize it. If you can read this, please translate or find someone to translate it for us.
You kids and your newfangled five digit slashdot UIDs and your fancy toggle switches. We had to walk uphill both ways to get our ones from the butcher, and the zeros were delivered by the donkeycart every second Tuesday.
Grow up. When you want to deploy software to hundreds or thousands of machines, you have to be pretty sure that you won't get paged in the middle of the night because someone's favourite web page doesn't work, or because FF broke a plugin that hasn't had an update yet.
It's not about the version numbers, it's about having stable point releases that we can rely on. FF's new release cycle doesn't give us any assurance that their newest version is simply a maintenance update, or introduces new features that could cause serious issues.
I work at a university library, and the staff here are big fans of Firefox, but it's my job to make sure that I don't roll out software to them that causes problems for them. If I just roll out every.0 version, I am being irresponsible, and if the Mozilla people roll out.0 versions every month instead of putting out bugfix releases, it causes me a major headache.
I liked the Kobayashi Maru scene, though this old-school Trek fan would like to point out that Kirk beat it by reprogramming the sim to make the Klingons believe that he was this incredible war hero, and back down based on his reputation.
Yar. Consistency means you have to carry less ammo, and you have to spend fewer seconds rooting around for the ammo you have. It's simpler logistically, making supply easier and supply chains simpler.

Love or hate the guy, he's certainly earned degree equivalency. Business Administration, most likely; they said in the article that Harvard doesn't announce which subject in advance.
If it's computing science, then I'd probably have a few words to say.

Nail on the head. What about old games makes them bad? If anything, the time filter eliminates the bad ones.
And for those of us who've always gamed on Linux, being a few years behind is fine with me. I get new-to-me games cheaper. :)
So, better DX9 layer? Huzzah, my existing games run a little bit better, and maybe it opens up some new ones! That's a little exciting.
Odd that they wouldn't use the excess electricity to pump water up into a storage reservoir for future generation. That's what BC Hydro does.

I know, right?
That was a good lunch. I had toast.

Same reason I have to drink 710ml and 591ml bottles of Coke Zero. :/
You should do something to alleviate the shortage of hot men in IT.

If nothing else, there's always USB keys. Now pushing 128GB. My coworkers and I trade entire television shows pretty regularly.
Who needs fileservers? Sneakernet is becoming more and more efficient.
As of posting, there's no MSI installer for the new version yet, and the .exe installer doesn't seem to support silent installs.

That probably won't work - there's a limit to the number of files you can expand on the commandline with bash.

Christian child's music really does a job of indoctrination.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the awesomeness that is VGAP. Long-term, 11-player space exploration/combat/conquest game.
