However, Cisco should have kept their stupid mouth shut in this case, because even if they meant what you think they meant, they are only muddling the net neutrality issue further.

How fast will it "biodegrade" while it's actually used to, say, sustain a bridge? :)

But most of the indies are also on PC, so why spend extra on another console?
Not to mention my backlog of ps3 games ;)
You can keep your PS4, I'll wait.

Wii may have few interesting games, but there are almost no titles for the PS4 either. The sweet spot to buy a PS4 will be next year, or when you'll hopefully have something to play on it.

I favour commercial games under wine. With the NVidia binary drivers, a lot of them work well. Anecdotically, back when I was playing World of Warcraft I had better performance on Linux with Wine than on Windows :)
Open source games are unfortunately just NES-era clones and multiplayer-only shooters. Open source can do much better than commercial at infrastructure type software, but the same doesn't go when making a coherent entertainment experience...

As far as I know the only way to get good gaming performance on Linux is by using the proprietary drivers on a NVidia card.
Has anything changed lately?

As for most unusual circumstances, about 15 years ago me and the owner (and also programmer) of the company i was working for at the time fixed in 15 minutes a bug that neither of us had been able to fix in the last 2 weeks sober. It was 3 am and we were both dead drunk as we were celebrating someone's birthday at the office :)

When I do yearly oil changes and stuff like that it ain't worth going back home in a cab, or getting someone to drive me away, so I just take my laptop, find a quiet-ish corner and make a customer happy.

They're talking about the *other* layer of TIM, between the metal capsule that you wipe off and the actual CPU core. Can't access it without a razor blade.

Yeah, my needs are already above the norm. I could do with your core 2 duo for about 90% of my stuff. Heck, I could do with my 2009 macbook white for about 90% of my stuff.

My 2 year old Ivy Bridge Core i7 is fast enough, and will be fast enough for the foreseeable future with no overclocking. Neither Intel nor AMD will get any money from me for at least 3 more years ;)
Last time an overclock was meaningful for me was when I had a Pentium 1 at 233 Mhz. The bus was 66 Mhz, and that was the ram speed as well. Upping it to 250 Mhz on a 100 Mhz bus (remember back when multipliers went in 0.5 steps?) speed greatly improved the overall responsiveness of the system.

Well I'm repeating myself, but what's that "install UPlay correctly"? The army of programmers at Ubisoft aren't capable of having only one way of installing UPlay, the "it just works" way?

Ask the CD Projekt Red people how much not having copy protection has hurt them :)

What do you mean "did not install it correctly"? Isn't it Ubisoft's responsability to make sure there is no wrong way of installing it? If there is a right way and a wrong way to install UPlay, it means that their QA failed completely. IF they had any QA.

Do not touch UPlay and Origin. They're Steam clones done on the lowest budget possible and basically do not work. Personally I prefer GoG style distribution, but Steam is at least functional most of the time.
And for whoever said you should buy Ubisoft games on console, there are comments on the related Eurogamer article mentioning UPlay problems on the PS4. Sounds like you need that piece of shit even on a console now, which basically rules out ever touching their games.
