I wish I could say I'm as bitter at this, but to me it sums up the entire problem with an MMO - people expect indefinite life because they've paid for the game. And in effect, they're right. Rob, you should get to play the game you've spent all those years and subscription fees on, without...

Gotta say, even my wonderful, beautiful Ninty DS has fallen out of favor with the latest iPhone stuff...I'm very much in Koug's boat here. I mean, it's ok, but if I want handheld gaming, it's not very useful to me if I have to tote around yet another device already. There are very few games...

I think that's a beautiful reason! :)

Wow. I'm kinda sad they put the warning strips up. I mean, really, if you're that stupid, you probably shouldn't be out wandering on your own to begin with - have an escort. Or maybe it's time to consult the opthamologist to be given a cane for the blind. Hey, maybe she can do that with the...

"I see....black. Black. And...more black." :) All jokes aside, that's seriously cool...though I wonder why James Cameron, a film director, instead of a real scientific crew would be the one making this journey. It's an awesome thing to say "yeah I did it," but I'm so very much with Rob on...

Mmmmm modding...How I miss it so... I actually really like this controller. It's so unusual...but as said earlier, it'll be hard to find a match for it if you don't truly mod your case. Just sitting in a bay on its own, it would look pretty odd. That being said, I'd not mind trying that out...

YAY DRM! I LOVE DRM! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL THAT IT.... oh, wait, f*** that s****. If it weren't Steam, I'd say crack it just for the spirit of it. But it's steam, so I'll just say that at least for the most part it's fairly unobtrusive DRM.

I was actually wondering that myself...it's an odd fit, to be sure. But a big reason would be for the professional photog market. Most of our high-end SLR cameras can now do video (much to my misery) but photogs have already paid the $700 asking price for PS - asking for a full video suite...

Really?! I've been looking at one myself... Your keyboard comment is right on the mark - one I should have considered for the article :) As to your SSD comments, the one thing you have to keep in mind is that 10k RPM HDDs have a much lower MTBF in comparison to 7200 drives OR SSDs. So if...

Given the data level you seem to be working with, I will first put out the recommendation that if possible, you migrate off of MySQL (or make sure your backup habits are pristine). If you're going to continue to utilize a windows server environment, MS SQL Server is free and full-featured up...

Yep yep! :)

*scratches head* Isn't it kinda their job to make a product, and then sell it? :) I mean, it'll probably be crap, but come on. Anyone expecting they're gonna get WOW running perfectly on a tiny phone client needs a head examination to begin with...so hey, caveat emptor!

Heh, an interesting group of points, Marfig. I, for one, do not believe that all beer need be pasteurized, and actually it would greatly affect the flavor of the final product. HOWEVER - that doesn't mean it's a bad thing! Different beers need to maintain differing levels of yeast to maintain...

@Marfig: The hostile takeover price is roughly included in my Market x2 price. Companies rarely hold 1/3 treasury stock, and the increase in purchase price (goodwill) during a hostile takeover brings us up to...well, you can see the math in there now, I'm sure. Anyhow, I agree that it could...

I'm gonna side with Tharic and Rain on this one, but I'm gonna go for a different reason: The sustainable power draw on a PSU is actually not your biggest factor here. Though that matters (to prevent your system from shutting down) if you go over your actual capable production, you need to...

Huh....Things I never knew, Psi*. Granted, I think I could have lived without that, but I can at least appreciate and be thankful that this person likely has not spent an ACTUAL 10,000 hours playing Second Life...

It can get a lot more complex than that, but dealing with the IRS is a big part of my job as a public tax accountant and I can say that I find them quite reasonable MOST of the time. You should (particularly in small biz) always have professional representation - the tax code is very deep and I...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qhm7-LEBznk Yeahhhhhh...my head hurts.

Oh, gosh darn. ;) I hate companies like this...even the not-fake ones.

Given its most recent NAND-flash designer purpose, I'd hardly say that Apple is solely interested in "small" acquisitions so much as very strategic ones. The cash the company had on hand would never have been sufficient to purchase Intel (market cap $135bn, roughly x2 when you include...
