If I want to pay by card for either game it forces you into an autopay.

As a manufacturer, the prices for certain items used in or by capital ships have increased significantly since the fight so its time to build a lot of those!

They do have real world value. Just the same as an e-book or an mp3 has a value. At the end of the day e-books, mp3s and items in eve are all virtual things that don't really exist, but they all have value.

TBH I hate that WoW and Eve force you to have an autopay. I would rather make the decision each period whether to continue to subscribe, so I always immediately cancel the autopay and wait until the subscription expires.

"This allows a direct conversion from in-game currency to real money"
There is only a direct conversion from real money to in-game currency. If the link operated in both directions then the prices would be very different.

The more vertical resolution the better, when it comes to writing code. I stayed with a pair of 1600x1200 CRTs until earlier this year, because HD resolutions caused vertical resolution to stagnate. I was finally able to upgrade (for a decent price) my CRT to a 2560x1440 panel which is nice, but roll on higher resolutions!

Mozilla's 2012 Annual Report: 90% of Revenue Came From Google 278
An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla today released its annual financial report for 2012, and while revenue is up quite substantially, the organization's reliance on Google continues to grow. In 2011, 85 percent of Mozilla's revenue came from Google. In 2012, the figure increased to 90 percent."
Mir Won't Ship Even In Ubuntu 14.04 111
jones_supa writes "As can be recalled, Mir didn't make it to the Ubuntu 13.10 release to replace X.org as the display server. Back then it suffered of problems in multi-monitor support, along with other issues. Now it turns out that Canonical's product will not make it even into the next LTS version (14.04) of the Ubuntu desktop. Mir itself would be ready for showtime in the schedule, but there are problems with XMir, which is the X11 compatibility layer that ensures Mir can work with applications built for X. The comments came at the Ubuntu Developer Summit: in an online event Mark Shuttleworth stressed that the 14.04 desktop has to be rock-solid for customers with large-scale deployments, such as educational institutions. In the meantime, you can already try out Mir in your Ubuntu system."

That is pretty shady that they seize his materials, use it to their advantage, but then don't charge him with any crime. That's basically tyranny.
