Or some similar deal with the content providers. This would be my guess. Or maybe it's just easier this way. I sure wish I could "binge on" my subsonic server though....
IMO, asynchronous internet access for most destroyed any true net neutrality long ago. Your average home user has slower upstream and blocked ports to contend with.

And let the cable companies have the death they so richly deserve. Better yet, let's pull some eminent domain on their infrastructure.
We probably won't have a choice. They will increase their prices and impose data caps to make up for the loss of advertising revenue from cable television.
Good bots might actually be the best reason to buy this game. I think bots should be standard equipment. Seems like the FPS programming gods tried 10 or 15 years ago and then gave up. Unreal vs bots was good fun and they are a good way to acclimate to a multiplayer game.
The big problem with EA shoooters, other than the uninspired game play that I experienced in this beta, is that.... they will sell DLC, you will buy DLC, you will get to play the DLC for about 1 week before all the servers are back to running the same handful of maps & game types over, and over, and over again.
EA is too cheap to host their own servers to provide reliable access to all the content they will release.
" How boring will it be to be "driving" a car that can do 99% of the driving by itself but insists on you paying attention (at least intermittently) to do the remaining 1%"
This. You can bet that some of that 1% driver responsibility will happen after the driver dozed off or turned around to get something out of the back seat. I'm afraid this is an all or nothing proposition for most.
Just how, exactly, is partial autonomy supposed to work given human nature? If if we want drivers to keep their eyes on the road at all times then there better be no tech that would allow them to do otherwise.
I can only assume that it's naive investors and/or non-technical managers who listen to them. In the 30 years I've been aware of Gartner, I've found their proclamations to be either obvious, irrelevant or wrong, with numbers pulled from thin air.
Not as well as 7 on most of my devices. I will admit it does work fine on single use machines like my HTPC but, even my Surface continues to annoy me with bugs and inconsistencies. They should make unifying (or perhaps completely duplicating functionality) the schizophrenic control panel situation a priority... I absolutely hate the "touch friendly" controls. Toggle switches are an abomination.
I'm all over the $35.00 Chromecast audio dongles as I've got plenty of good speakers lying around. Would have been nice if they could be battery powered... we'll see how long one lasts on the usb charging port of the Klipsch KMC1. Even so.... we can now get synchronized, multi-room sound at a far more affordable price than a Sonos system.

Hopefully not the same patch that broke about a dozen other things to the point where most people uninstalled it.
That does seem reasonable, on the face of it.

The core of capitalism is private ownership.
For the few... then rent for everyone else. Kind of like feudalism.,,,
Marx was right.

+1 Accurate.
....a "big "fuck you" to the American mainstream media who spun this in that prick's favor all week.
We'd probably all be better off with no news at all than this click bait bullshit system we've ended up with.
You should have a long conversation with your next Uber driver.
These are ex-military, tax payer trained pilots.
The fans and the attempted catering to them ruin everything in the end.

That's actually 249.99 for a GTX 970 including an AAA game. Free shipping.

It works equally well for every situation!!!
Mod +1. This is what I do, more or less.
Gun owners who resist any attempt to reasonably regulate guns are tools.

Seriously? Call any government agency to report a problem and let me know how far you get and how long it took you.
This is about CONVENIENCE. Also the report is automatically documented. ''
