Warhammer sucked. Just trying to log in and log out was a chore. You would think that at least they could get that right. WOW was one click to log off. Warhammer was a series of click and a giant pain in the ass. I guess they though that you would some how play longer, but instead of watching the stupid splash screen for the 1000th time, most people choose to never login again.
With their changing focus mid way through XP from the end users of their products to a marketing strategy (crap ware for movie and music and everyone besides the person using the computer) they have alienated developers and people don't want to deal with their product. That has set them up for everyone to jump ship at the first chance they get and that is exactly what is happening. Google's strategy did not start this.
And this is where Blizzard has completely mis-calculated. Instead of providing an expected feature (local LAN play), they are trying to force everyone to use battle.net, which a lot of people do not want to do. I expect this missing feature will be hacked in days after release and instead of Blizzard having a chance at a sale, people are going to download the LAN enabled version for free. Bad move by Blizzard, hope their shareholders are paying attention.
I would download linux distributions on P2P until they sued me then counter sue for emotional distress or whatever seems as stupid as their claim. When I get my million dollar settlement I could then retire and move to somewhere warm with a beach.
P2P is not a hardware. And if they are dumb enough to try and block it, a new shiny software package will probably be out the same day works around any restriction. It would be an arms race that the ISP is hopelessly out matched and resourced to try and win.
EVE PVP is a social game. You have to play with others in order to do well at it. And you don't need lots of skills to do that, you need lots of people on your side. (and that also makes it more fun)
They are expensive and come up with this kind of stuff that is hurting their business. So save money dumping corp middle managers and go back to their nitch selling electronic parts and equipment and get people in the stores that know about electronics. And stop asking for phone numbers, I stopped going just because of that and drive to Fry's even though it is a long way from me.
When you buy music, make sure to check http://riaaradar.com/ to see if the album is from a company that funds the RIAA. If they do, don't buy it and stick it to them a couple dollars of lost earnings at a time.

If you look at the discussion for almost any stock, they are all stock scam span. Having seen Google catch most of my email spam and news groups are pretty clean so this is a bit surprising.

Bing is inferior because Microsoft tampers with the search results to try and benefit its initiatives. I would rather have a more neutral search engine so I would never use it.
That reminds me of school. We would have these assignments in computer science and some folks would ace all of the theoretical stuff on the tests. Then when we would actually build programs, people would sometimes make fun of my code (I started later than others, many had several years more coding), but mine always worked and I had several theory aces come back later and ask how I figured the assignment out.
Certainly groups like the RIAA are going to play that up while they secretly freak out they are not longer losing control, but have completely lost it to services like this.
My thinking is that you can use hydrogen as a renewable fuel. Instead of trying to get batteries, that cause huge amount of pollution when they are made, to magically do something they are never going to be able to do (recharge in 5 min without being dangerous) spend that effort to make electricity. If a hydrogen infrastructure was in place, you can take advantage of green technology and better methods of making electricity as they become available without having to replace every hydrogen car on the road. At the rate of progress with electric vehicles, you will need two cars to use one (unless you never travel more than 200 miles) and that is just not realistic.

local lan play does not require an account. Try again.
Murdoch has no clue what he is doing on the internet. Look forward to see less of his yellow journalism.

Don't give the RIAA a penny.
Sounds like you nuclear attack practical response is how you are choosing to live all of your life.
Unless Red Hat goes out of business.

Right, a company would never ever cause one of their Customers a problem. Or go out of business.

Big Pharma will price this so high that people that could really benefit from this will only be the rich.
Bleeha! They should reboot Fallout with the original game mechanics. Fallout 3 sucked.

Know that there is a lot of folks involved with Armadillo Aerospace, but at first glance it looks like Carmack just has a gold touch.

making acid and lead does not cause huge amounts of pollution? Sure you understand what that involves? I do.
