I so agree with this, but actually I think it is Microsoft Marketing folks (who Ballmer is a part of) that is causing them to go belly up. They are so concerned with marketing initiatives that they have completely forgotten about who the actual Customer is and how to make them happy. For example, they want to partner up with music companies, but then put draconian DRM in the OS that no Customer wants to deal with. There are just too many examples of this to be a product that people actually want any more. And they have run off Developers as being all, but unimportant and break all compatibility and then wonder why no-one wants Vista. I do not think they will recover.
Next time you play the game watch the intro again. Do you remember heavy guitar rifts at the end of anything from Fallout 1 or Fallout 2? It totally breaks the immersion. These kind of changes are the same as Hollywood "improving" things like I am Legend. Don't like those "improvements" either.
I thinks "some changes" is an understatement. If I wanted a first person shooter I would buy one. Why Bethesda needed to bastardize a great franchise that they did not create into a FPS I will never know.
I think it sums it up best to say "When all you have is a hammer, everything becomes a nail" and all Bethesda has is a FPS engine.
The minute I hear that from people I stop listening. The "grass is always greener" is usually from people who just want to argue theoretical mumbo-jumbo and not actually fix anything. On the scale of the internet, starting over is not-realistic.
When you have an argument with someone you can always tell you have won (or at least it is over) if they resort to calling you or something you are discussing Nazi's. We have to do it "for the children" is the new Nazi.
Guys like this don't understand that you cannot beat zealots. And I am using that word to not mean a negative thing. Someone who truly believes that open source is the way and gets something from it will not be turned to only build souless projects for a buck. No matter how many of these articles they pump out or how many chairs are thrown.
I started playing EVE and tried WOW. After the trial was over, I went back to EVE. It is just more engrossing. Has a functioning economy and you don't have to have the really rare gear to be effective. (actually, people hunt those that get anything rare). I find EVE a lot more fun for the exact reason it is not dumbed down.
There is a crazy girlfriend option for Asterisk that you can have a blacklist and the phone never rings either. Actually, you can have rules as complicated as you like.
I lived with two Grad Students that did astrophysics and they worked 24/7. They used the bandwidth and they did a lot of their work at home. And since the school I went to has a very good Astronomy Dept, I think this is something you would want.
You realize that data for a project in astrophysics almost never is generated at the University correct? For empirical work, it is usually collected at remote telescopes.
There are valid uses of a student using high bandwidth in a University. Actually, a lot of reasons for it. And the University gets a lot out of it if the work leads to a significant discovery.

Refactor when needed. That way you keep a working project and can expand it as needed (or as quickly as possible).
Would not want anyone of questionable ethics that would steal or worse help by counting votes. /sarcasm

Like Star Craft 2? I don't think isometric is going out of style any time soon.
do you even know what isometric means?
How hard is it to see that first person is not isometric. Geez.

And they give back Fallout to Brian Fargo and crew.
How are your dreamcast games doing? Oh wait...
and buying any game that is published by EA is just dumb. Bad decision making and screwing people seems to be all EA does.

Stop it already. I beat the crap out of my computer with a golf club.
wow it still works...

It is FUD from the console manufacturers. They are trying to convert the stupid and clueless to consoles so they spread this rumor.
Yes, Whoosh. My point was, the Roman Empire was an empire and they way I used the word zealot is an idea. Harder to kill an idea.
There are still zealots, but not the Roman Empire.

and Seagates are quieter than almost all others
And now they are hemorrhaging and trying to stop piracy, probably to keep their profits up. This really looks like the twilight years for Microsoft.
How about Mohave? I heard it is soooo much better.
