I'm not super high-end, but my audio interface works fine under 64-bit. So does the professional studio I use. I don't want to make assumptions about what you bought, but I'll just say that the state of drivers (regular updates, supported platforms) was the #1 thing I looked for when I bought my interface because I know those music equipment companies can be super sketchy. FWIW I have never gone wrong with M-Audio interfaces, and I use Reaper as my DAW software.
Uh, what? Drivers aren't the bottleneck from DAWs that I've seen. It's that VST effects and other apps/plugins are 32-bit. Most DAW software has figured out how to bridge 32-bit VST to 64-bit now, though, by running a dummy 32-bit process to communicate with.
I just built a new gaming HTPC cause I was tired of the Xbox360/PS3 shenanigans. I want to log in to buy DLC, but I don't want my machines to lose features through the required updates.
Because right or wrong, there are a large amount of people who wont play a computer game because its too "nerd like".
That's crazy-talk. You're right that they want to exploit the existing fan base *and* non-gamers who may wander in, but this has nothing to do with the War On Nerds.
The article says that judging by the IMDB page, its set during the first contact war, so they wouldn't be having to ruin everyones Shepard on them if they did make the film.
My Shepard is female, because I don't like watching guy's butts when I play video games for hours on end. I doubt they will cast a female Shepard.
One more way to help the average consumer save on energy costs.
Except you pay for it in maintenance fees, not to mention up-front cost. I recently had a problem with my gas heater - the 'starter' went out. Since when do gas heaters have starters? The repair man said it was to save on energy. Okay, but what do I now have to pay him for replacing something I otherwise could have fixed with a match?
The size is going to be mostly textures, sounds, models, etc. The binary itself cannot be shared across applications, but it's going to be fairly small. Third parties cannot install a 'shared object' or 'DLL' on iOS.
In my experience, the teachers that allowed cheat sheets were usually the poor ones. They didn't want to accept the sad truth that their lectures were terrible.
Install cairo-dock, and then remove your bottom gnome-panel with the tasklist. You can make it work like the OSX dock. It's not as refined... but it's usable. And pretty cool.
Alcohol itself is not stored as fat. Only a small percentage of it would actually directly turn into fat. It's the fact that alcohol energy takes precedence over other sources of energy that causes fat to be stored.
It's natural to want them to have the same %USERPROFILE% (read $HOME) on a fileserver somewhere, and on Unix, that works just fine. But under Windows, when the user logs into machine A, the system will lock ntuser.dat (the file containing the registry), which prevents the user logging in under machine B. Application-specific configuration files that are locked only during actual changes don't have this problem.
Not to derail your insightful post, but this is one of the main reasons I switched to linux. You can actually place system folders on different partitions so that 1. fragmentation of cat pictures doesn't slow down the OS, 2. the OS can be wiped while retaining user data. It used to take me a whole day to force Windows to install like that - where Documents were on one partition and Program Files were on another, pagefile was on another, etc. That was several years ago, and now I tried doing some of the same thing in Windows 7 and broke my Windows Updates because they rely on things being on the same partition/even if you create a junction point/. It's like Microsoft is just relying on drives getting bigger, faster, and more reliable than actually doing something intelligent with their OS file system layout.
I 'solve' puzzles all day at work when I'm coding. When I'm home, I just want to mash buttons and zone out. Not that I enjoy twitch-based-reflex games, either. Just, don't make me think or work too hard to advance the story, ok?
Do you remember.. Windows Mobile 6? Pocket PC? Yeah, I developed for those platforms, and I can tell you that Microsoft seriously didn't give a shit. I doubt they have changed much since then. When your core product is for PCs, it's hard changing your company's thinking.
Uh? The Facebook app for the iPhone is renowned as one of the better apps out there. Perhaps you are trying to do something that doesn't need to be done remotely on a phone. The Android version could use some work, though.
Apple announced it would be an open spec; I have no idea if they released it yet or not. Just going off of what Steve Jobs said during his key note address at WWDC.
For everyone I know, it is the exact opposite. We tinker with electronics at work, we tinker with them at home, we don't need to tinker with our mobile phone. Of everything I could screw up, I would prefer it not being my phone.
He probably didn't see it. He had a secretary see it and give him notes, which his PR person then turned into some witticisms so he could spin it in his favor during interviews.

If you're buying clothes at Wal-Mart, you're doing it wrong.
Commercial games are, for the most part, dead on the PC.
Fixed!

A high profile egotist is necessary to keep WikiLeaks alive.
And just in time for TV to become irrelevant!

Use HTTPS Google at work. Firefox has a HTTPS everywhere extension. HTH
The folders I junctioned were c:\windows\winsxs and c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution
Didn't want that crap hoarding space on my SSD... perhaps it was a stupid move.

Would it kill performance to use VMWare? I'm going to GNUHell too.

It will just be 'uncool' to not be on the App Store.

Well, Apple's specification is open, so... hopefully?
