Since I've unexpectedly RTFA, just a heads up, the headline is even more biased than usual. On the total number of active websites, there are still about 10x as many apache websites than IIS. Same picture for the top million busiest sites. There's almost no yearly change, and the server gaining the most marketshare is NGINX.
I'm starting to believe the hearsay: Slashdot has really been totally overrun by astroturfers (in this case paid by Microsoft). Maybe dice sells a number of "promotional posts" on a biased article to various companies, one of them being Microsoft?
No joke! Of course, what do you think, who wields more influence: a president who comes every 4-8 years or a NSA official who stay at the center of power for decades? PS: easy answer
So they were obligated to switch from oats to corn starch and sugar in order to free themselves of GMOs? No non-GMO oats possible!! 1!11 WTF? This WTF piece of news really lacks respect to its readers!
The Guardian journalists have access to all the documents he's released to them. He doesn't regurarly send them keys for decryption. The only thing only he holds a key for is his mysterious "insurance" file.
Are you a biologist with a specialization in system ecology?
And even then, it's impossible to predict the total short-, mid- and longterm effect of a genetic modification/combination.
Non-GMO organsims have been tested for safety for 1000 of years in the biggest lab know to man: the planet earth itself.
GMO organisms must carry a huge benefit to make me even consider them as a wise choice.
Unbelievable, all these shortsighted and dare I say dumb replies really make the GP's point for him. Of course it is better to operate as a group because it gives you an advantage, and you can bet that the exploiters around got the memo and are operating as a group. Even if you think you're "among the best" you lose a whole lot of bargaining power by going solo just out of some sick kind of narcissism. That you've been brainwashed to this point by propaganda instilled into you since your youth is a truly scary thought.
So now we have to all play policeman against our fellow men? Or risk being incarcerated for decades? And you're defending such practices in public? The possible contortions of the human mind never fail to astound me.
You're the idiot. Laws reflect the social norm of racial discrimination? Maybe selective enforcement upon minorities reflect this "social norm", but laws, to the contrary, make racial discrimination illegal (in theory).
Well, be using OpenGL they get all this plus easy portability to OSX, Linux, Android, iOS and any consoles providing somethig close to an OpenGL implementation (most of them). But Microsoft offers some tasty cookies (features) to lead people to DirectX and many gamedevs can't be bothered to implement the same features themselves in OpenGL.
If gamdevs formed an alliance, implemented features useful to gamdev on top of OpenGL and released them as a free library everybody (except Microsoft, bye-bye lock-in) would benefit.
Free software and money aren't diametrically opposite, many programmers are getting paid in order to write free software (like, most developers of the linux kernel).
Stop spouting bullshit for the grace of the flying spaghetti monster!
Seeing a lot of small kickstarter projects getting funded still gives me hope for the future of gaming.
I hope Sony and Nintendo won't copy MS policies. With node.js and the javascript-everywhere mindset, maybe we could have MMCOG (Massively-Multi-Created-Online-Games) running on free software in the future, who knows?

Stop using facebook. Now.

Sorry, was too drnk, misunderstood the RTFA, please ignore.

orly?

We aren't forced to use a 14nm process just because the industry giants are doing it.
Are you somehow confusing Germany with the US?

Not sure if joking or really confusing Switzerland with Sweden like the stereotype.

Well I hope you enjoy getting fucked in the ass by your "protectors" everyday you step inside an airport.
No he didn't :)
How is it easily done without JS or other browser plugins, by a remote webserver?

So what's more dangerous: owning a gun or shooting of one's mouth on the internet? The USA is fucked up...big time...
MS Astroturfing gone clever?
If you prefer a 7" tablet without hardware keyboard to a full-fledged desktop running KDE you should just go ahead and do harakiri.
What complete nonsense!

Everyone's a potential rapist, dimwit.
Most "game journalists" are the PR-agency of the publishers...
Glad I'm not the only one.
