An MS product with acceptable boot times? Well, color me surprised. Then again, this thing probably doesn't use the Windows kernel or bootloader and some of Microsoft Research's kernels and bootloaders are pretty damned quick, not like *BSD or Mach quick on the Kernel side or GRUB quick on the bootloader side but fast

Someone actually got DLNA to work with the PS3? Just kidding, it works. But not very well, at least not between Sony products. I own a Vaio laptop and the DLNA compatibility between devices that Sony makes and are supposed to be able to seamlessly interact leaves a shitload to be desired.

And this isn't a PEBDAK

I know, and its a damn shame. I wish we'd get it, Zero, Five, and Six as HD remakes. Especially as I never got to play Zero and Five. Infinity looks cool, though I worry about the F2P aspect and the combination of the AC'04 backstory in real world locations. I had been hoping to bomb St. Ark or San Salvacion once

Thats why the Free Software Foundation is so shot in the ass about calling it GNU/Linux because calling an operating system by the name of its Kernel is generally confusing, and with how fractured the GNU/Linux landscape is extra confusion isn't really wanted among users. I can see where they have a point, you don't

Yes, Android has a Linux kernel. Thats about where the similarity between Android and a GNU/Linux distribution ends though.

Its not a traditional Linux Distribution in any sense of the word. It doesn't use any of the GNU toolchain, it has its own display server called SurfaceFlinger that only Android uses as opposed

Ive got a solution for it, myself its called a piece of fucking tape holding cardboard over the lens and sensors.

Its much cheaper than 20 dollars. As is not buying a piece of hardware that a company with very loose ethical standards and practices like Microsoft produces.

Bug ridden crapware from Microsoft? Not like thats ever happened before....
Oh wait. Seriously though, ill set aside my disdain for Microsoft in general for a moment and think objectively.

From a QA point of view, I seriously do wonder who allowed what should be blocking bugs to land on the tree and for what reason, do

They ask for your credit card number or your account number if you have a corporate account, if you're talking about Microsoft anyway. I have no idea how EA Australia was doing it.

He's using an American stereotype of Australians that Ive never heard an Aussie say except when mocking stereotypes about their culture, since the story is about EA Australia.

You used a British or Australian/New Zealand expression, bloody hell, so he's assuming you're a Brit, probably not knowing that Australians and

Really? But hell, I believe it. It sounds like Microsoft, they're fucked up like that. And coming from DOS or Windows 3 to Windows 95 must have been a hell of a shock.

I dont recall it myself, but I've never had a Consumer license from MS, so that might be why. We got free support on TechNet subs, at least for NT 4

Because there's "too much regulation" and "taxes are too high". Plus their Goddess, that hateful and hypocritical bitch Ayn Rand, told them they have to to avoid anyone but the rich getting ahead.

Every now and then a Grocer will try it, but it never works out.

Its pretty telling that Whole Foods Market refuses to go anywhere near it, even in Austin (their home turf), and they're generally the most innovative of the big chains. If they don't think it will work then it probably won't and obviously price isn't

Id love to be able to look forward to the future again. The past 13 years haven't exactly been inspiring.

As much as I really hate Ohio State since I'm a damn Gator (and not a fairweather one obviously after the past few years. Generally as long as we beat Georgia and the South Carolina 'Cocks, I'm happy), I have to admit this is pretty cool.

The Michael Jackson thing was cool too, even though I gotta say the dancing

Yeah, it is. Didn't you see the article about the Final Fantasy hair (and tangentally the later horrifying Chinese haircut article)? They're over on Kotaku East.

I don't think its lawful or enforceable in the US and the servers may reside there.

IANAL (I am not a lawyer), but that being said, it might be, and there's nothing about embedding other terms or conditions in the code that it assumes you have read which would not be enforceable (the ultimate in fine print tactics

Not speaking for him, but I dont think he said anything about people liking this being idiots, plebes, sheeple or whatever the self-important PBR drinking hipster crowd uses to insult others who don't think like them nowadays.

He stated facts: if it is as boring as counting sand grains and not engaging, it is bad game

They wouldn't get paid or get a hefty campaign donation from playing.

They also wouldn't be able to spout their usual inane garbage, lick whatever Partisan goon living in the White House's boots (or conversely condemn him as the antichrist when its not their Party's guy), send me or my friends in the Armed Forces out

That sounds about like my Son.

It gets worse, they start walking and running and they destroy even more than they did when they were crawling. Or they can be like my kid and climb virtually fucking everything.

Honestly Dee13, I was thinking more for mounted track gunners than dismounted scouts because I know that in RSTA and Battlefield Surveillance, as well as Special Reconnaissance, you don't want to not be able to notice something that could get you killed or give the enemy a chance to haul ass, just to show up later
