You're assuming that Blizzard will eventually release server software or something similar once the game has run its lucrative course. This is Activision we're talking about, not Blizzard. Please let's be serious here.
Blizzard, what happened to you? You used to make such good games, but ever since WoW you can't seem to create a game that's worth paying for. Last good game you made was WC3 and that was nearly a decade ago.
Vivendi merged them with Craptivison, and put Kotick in charge. Now they exist solely to make ever larger income streams.
because all his tools are based on NTFS and he couldn't recall off the top of his head the old DOS commands and they had found a braintrust still using Win98SE
I get the point you're trying to make but I have to say... what is this I don't even...? So the tools are based on a file system and he couldn't recall the commands from an old OS (which has nothing to do with a file system, apart from running on a volume using it).
Official Powers in Russia are tolerant with PP agenda - one can remember famous Microsoft vs. school director Ponosov case (Putin sided in favour of Ponosov, who was acquitted eventually)
That's funny, I heard that Microsoft didn't want to prosecute, but the government said that because it was a criminal offense in Russia that not prosecuting wasn't an option. That doesn't sound like the government being tolerant with the Pirate agenda...
What happens to the price of gold if the country is shifted back to gold standard? If you guessed "it goes up", you'd be right. So, basically people with gold see massive gains in the value of their holdings, and people without gold are further bankrupted. So, basically, the 99% get screwed and the 1% make bank. Again.
Gold standard is fine, brilliant even - unless you change off it. A shift from gold standard is one way.
Ron Paul advocates a shift back to the Gold Standard, a move that benefits no-one... except the 1%. He's the biggest enemy of the common people that you have.
You do realise there are entire industries where there are no commercial Linux based offerings and all the open source offerings are festering piles of shit, right? Examples include healthcare, water processing, pretty much anything government related...
I considered responding, then noticed where you rambled on about "garbage" and shit, so I decided not to bother because there's no way I'll ever get you to think rationally where the word "Microsoft" is concerned.
Bullshit. Microsoft uses it on every site they have. The only reason that "web server identification" surveys like Netcraft say they run Linux is because, like all large websites, they utilise the services of a CDN such as Akamai.
And there are no "secret agreements". Most of the time the company forbids such things is because there is no support, or because there is no ability of the in-house technical support to provide assistance with it. We're a very large IT company here and we have maybe 3 RHEL servers (because Linux was the best option for the task) and a couple of thousand (including virtual) Windows servers. (There's also about 2 Solaris servers, 4 or 5 Oracle Linux servers, a SCO Unix server and 2 or 3 HP-UX servers). None of this is due to any "secret agreements". It's all because there's one person trained to work with Unix based systems, and about 8 to deal with Windows. We utilise quite a large number of open-source packages across our infrastructure if it's the best tool for the job.
A billion times, this! If you don't care about the fact that the image itself is frankly disturbing, then you have to accept that it is a violation of privacy.
(Note; I do believe the age for filming such activities should be aligned with the legal age for performing such activities in the first place though - that deviation confuses me)

No, Blizzard is Activision. It's owned by Vivendi.

Actually, Nokia-Siemens is quite popular among ISPs and Telcos. Quite close to Alcatel-Lucent.
No, we have 300 IT people. The dozen are merely the server admins.
Because CDNs aren't ordinary web servers? They sure as hell aren't running Apache either.

Since the US appears to be writing laws for everyone now, can I ask when the rest of us will be permitted to vote in US elections?
Most people would just pony up the $10 for the nudity.

A: Have you seen elephants using mac computers?
B: No.
A: Clearly the elephants are being paid by Microsoft not to use macs.
Really, that's what half the irrational anti-Microsoft crap on this site sounds like.
Virtualisation servers? Come on, even we use VMWare ESX for that. It doesn't really prove anything.
I should kind of hope that it takes them hours to get into the thing.

He makes it sound like not being regulated like a bank is a bad thing.
"paypal is the worst" (no quotes) came out with only 360,000,000 for me. Still way less than "paypal is the best" (no quotes).
No, because in small claims court they can't bring lawyers ;)
(Statute varies based on locality)
Then complain to the Department of Justice. Sounds like a clear cut case of anti-competitive tying, ala Microsoft circa 1990s.
So what you're suggesting is that Apple should create a marketing firm, and Google should contract them? Yeah, they'll get right on that.
