Then full respect for valve. Though they lost some respect for their shoddy PS3 ports.

4chan for the win.
Ok I don't like them. But this is ridiculous. It's like ubisoft is treating its customers as potential pirates. Screw them.

Dropbox and UBuntu One are really useful at times like this. I don't understand how people still don't keep backups of their data.

Sounds more like sensationalism, and not fact.
Wasn't it just last year that some scientists built a super computer that has 25% brain capacity of a rat?

It's just the US telling(forcing) another nation to bend to its will. Nothing new.

from the hate-to-see-the-power-bill dept.
An article at Gamasutra provides some details on the hardware Mythic uses to power Warhammer Online, courtesy of Chief Technical Officer Matt Shaw and Online Technical Director Andrew Mann. Quoting:
"At any given time, approximately 2,000 servers are in operation, supporting the gameplay in WAR. Matt Shaw commented, 'What we call a server to the user, that main server is actually a cluster of a number of machines. Our Server Farm in Virginia, for example,' Mann said, 'has about 60 Dell Blade chassis running Warhammer Online — each hosting up to 16 servers. All in all, we have about 700 servers in operation at this location.' ... 'We use blade architecture heavily for Warhammer Online,' Mann noted. 'Almost every server that we deploy is a blade system. We don't use virtualization; our software is somewhat virtualized itself. We've always had the technology to run our game world across several pieces of hardware. It's application-layer clustering at a process level. Virtualization wouldn't gain us much because we already run very close to peak CPU usage on these systems.' ... The normalized server configuration — in use across all of the Mythic-managed facilities — features dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors running at 3 GHz with 8 GB of RAM."

Not to mention that one of the reasons for going green is the prolongued existence of our species. What is the point of using green technology if it harms us.

The Indians gave us the Kama Sutra, which the Western world learns from. Not the other way round.
Don't know why Yahoo is censoring the word. It seems more like PR to me than anything else.

Steve Jobs is the farmer and the current generation of fancy-clothed-hip-young-lifestyle people are his sheep.
i SERIOUSLY do not get what is so great about Apple products. All they do is take a pre-existing product, add gloss and make it look nice and the sheep come pouring in. What a stupid time we live in, Idiocracy is not far away.
BTW I'm not a M$ fan-boy, but I would take aMicrosoft product (or Linux) over Apple any day. Practicality over aesthetics I say.
