Yep, exactly why I refuse to purchase D3. If they release a patch down the line that doesn't require me to be online with their servers just to play single player, then I will buy it.

Not really. My coworker took this week off for D3. After it went live this morning he still cant get in as the game wont actually launch. Apparently others are having the same issue as well. Ahh Blizzard, I don't miss you in the slightest.

Welcome to to the tablet/smartphone age, where everything is an app. Apps on your tablet, apps on your phone, apps on your desktop, apps on your laptop. "Software" is no more, "apps" are the future...or something like that. I despise this market shift of the last four or five years of everything needs to be mobilized as an app so no matter if you are on a tablet, smartphone or laptop/desktop everything is an app.

Apps have a place, I guess, on phones and tablets. Keep that crap off of my machines that I actually use for productivity(laptop/desktop).

What games? I have had great success with DOSBox. Ive only come across a small handful of games with issues. The ease and configurability of DOSBox to me outweighs trying to get stuff to run in pure DOS these days.

What ad?

Adblock Plus. Get it, and stop dealing with ad's.

Do what the rest of us do: 10:00 to 2:00 AM - play games.

This is why I stick to all my DOS games. They are actually fun and engaging. DOSBox and ScummVM have made old games playable on any modern computer. I still have plenty of old games I haven't beat yet and many that I have. Yet I cant help playing them over and over as the stories are far better, the nostalgia is huge and the overall sense of achievement after beating a game is immense. Sure the graphics are ancient in today's market, but pretty graphics make not a great game.

XBL is only required for online play or for using online applications. Its not needed for just playing games off of disk.

The 4 gig 360S model has a built-in adapter.

I have all my Warcraft cd's still. The only downside to Warcraft 1 was having to build everything next to roads, I hated that.

No, /. has been laggy all morning so far. I keep having to try and reload pages.

Ever heard of a sump pump? Come up to the north half of the country, most houses have basements.

Seriously?

Center of the page under Getting Started, the first link is "obtain a copy".

Perhaps Debian isn't for you if you cant navigate the homepage.

Indeed, thats what I did a few versions ago. Although, im still toying with Lubuntu as well.

You were too young to understand the humor.
