C++, Irrlicht, Crossplatform including Android.
It doesn't have the 360/XBone, but if you go buy one of those crappy 100 dollar Android Settop boxes from China, it's got you covered
Other benefits/detriments: No Java, Lua scripting, some C++ scripting hooks, laggy with exceptionally large collections of modpacks. Everybody things it 'sucks' because they tried it before it had scripting and obv couldn't have improved in the past 2-4 years.
I tried it a couple monthes ago still sucked compared to minecraft it lacked a lot features and wasn't very polished, Compared to a fully modded Tekkit build Minecraft setup it isn't even in the same league.
They should have bought minecraft years ago then. Back when the hype was starting and they could have gotten it for a couple million.
Kinda curious as to how they're going to screw it up.
Forced windows 8 integration?
Port the x-box port back to windows and drop the java version?
Mandatory Realms hosting for multiplayer so they can police it and add microtransactions for diamonds? "10 credits = 1 diamond. Or buy a pack and save! Available packs include the 64 diamond Stack Pack, the 574 diamond Block Stack Pack, or the best value the Diamond Block Dick To Pierce The Skies pack!"
If that happened everyone would just stick with the old version and tell Mojang-rosoft to f*ck itself. Just like open-source reveres engineered bukket server became the default Minecraft server for most servers the cracked client would become the default. As is many people run old versions already just to maintain compatibility with various mods already so its not that much of a stretch. I bought Minecraft specifically because they have Linux support, that would end if MS ever got their hand on it.
No kidding. For all the talk about Apple's walled garden, Amazon seems to have more crippled devices with higher walls.
And, really, if Microsoft or any other vendor could lock people into their walled gardens they'd do it in a heartbeat.
Not really the fire line of tablets lets you sideload apps I installed fdroid app repository on my kindle fire, which I happen to be posting from. That's not to say their perfect by any means for example you cant replace the keyboard without rooting your device which is just stupid and pain in the ass when I need to use ssh and have no metakeys, yet have symbols for copyright trademark registered and infinity but no tab. There are other minor nits to pick but saying they have a worse garden wall then apple is disengenuos at best.
Or I know nothing about gmx.com, didn't realize they were an email provider.
What kind of genius doesn't have his own domain? Are we men?
Someone that is trying to stay anonymous doesn't want their name splattered over Whois dns records.
Now they are cheap PCs running poorly configured operating systems.
The important part. Brand new systems are still being deployed with Windows XP. Anyone who doesn't see how fucking idiotic that is should never be allowed to make an IT-related decision again, but unfortunately the people who make these decisions don't know and aren't held accountable for their stupidity.
Most of the local banks have installed new Diebold ATMs that scan checks automatically. I saw one reboot the other day. Take a wild guess what OS...
Fuck "enterprise IT" and the bullshit anti-update mentality. If you can't update, you're doing it wrong.
XP would be an upgrade from my retail experience everything from sco unixware, DrDOS, Netware, to IBM PCDOS is still used.
How would you feel if you found out Bill Gates had had $1B stolen from an online account because he'd used the password billy1 to safeguard that money?
I would laugh my ass off then wish I had tried it first.
That's patently untrue. Unless you're looking hard for it, there really isn't much in the way of extreme-left-wing news out there. Unless you're counting those bearded men handing out poorly xeroxed socialist newsletters. The vast majority of the media is centrist or right wing.
Really vastly right leaning? Did you read about the Pew Research study that showed MSNBC to be even mored biased, and opinionated than Fox News?
Big Media == The Ministry of Truth
Powershell is just enough like Bash to make me groan after ten minutes and ask "Why the f--- didn't they just make an integrated Bash shell?"
Powershell - the ugly the bastard child of Bash and Batch.
BTW, how hard will it be to transform Linux's kernel structure into something that is equivalent to Plan-9?
not very.

I'm from Argentina and... Oh, god, please someone mod this BS message down!
Argentina has one of the highest Human Development Index values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yeah almost as high as Cuba and we all know how well off they are...
a 35% tax on all offshore buys using a credit card
With that kind of tariff how long till all out of country purchases are made with bitcoin?
Here's a solid prediction, to boot:
Sites already know when we are using plug-ins like Adblocker and some either ask us to exempt their site or refuse to let us in at all. That will continue and render ad blockers useless.
We've already seen that with cookies.
Turn cookies off in your browser and have fun with that bad idea and stuff.
that can be gamed by loading the scripts but not executing them there are similar schemes for cookies.
