He is saying that internally, they dont want to do a single player campaign. They feel this is the past, HL3 has to bring something new or they are not interested.

Lugging around workstation class hardware that gets hot and is VERY expensive is not my idea of forward thinking. $2000 in server class hardware is not AT ALL the same investment as a laptop gaming book, you are kidding yourself. Keep the big iron at the home base, travel with scouting gear.

Get her a proper tower workstation/server at a desk that she can offload big jobs to and a cheap laptop to connect to it.

o god, i had no idea.......I wasnt promoting Formula E, i think its silly, but what you posted takes silly to a whole other level.

Formula E? http://www.fiaformulae.com/ You got Branson on the front page talking up how Formula E will bring tech breakthroughs.

Yes and no. I do use some of the apps, like Plex. It would be nice to use those apps without an MS account. Its weird to me that my PC has executables i cant do anything with.

NO need for that, the options are all there at install, even with net on. You dont HAVE to make an MS account, but you have to be diligent and look for the local account at creation. They hid the local account creation in GFWL, Win 8 and Win 10. In each instance you have to scroll down to see the options to create a local account. The point is MS is being shitheads about local accounts so its understandable people dont know about them.

To be fair, creating a local account is very discouraged, hidden AND you have no access to the Windows Store. You dont get the full OS without an MS account. Its an ok solution to a shit sandwich.

The guy that did that already had his own money to do it with..

This is a signal to noise problem and has to always be accounted for. Every feedback mechanism has to accept crappy inputs and filter them. This is not new or unique. Be happy those people participated at all, the automated feedback from them is still valuable.,

LOL a copycat OS. I mock you, sent from my mac mini running OSX 10.10

" Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you are right or more advanced."

Yes it does. Anyone that takes a life in cold-blood is a murderer, even when the State does it. Im ok with INDIVIDUALS enacting their own vengeance, but dont you dare ask the State to do your dirty work. If you want to kill a man, do it yourself, dont ask society to do it for you.

I cast from Chrome on my Mac to Nexus Player on the TV in my office every single day......

"Oh, new Star Citizen trailer? That needs to be seen on the 55" plasma." Click cast and its done...

iTunes is a compromise between Apple and the music companies. More than anything, its the underlying reason why the music companies licensed to Apple. They could promise full end to end control of the music (at that time). Itunes is what it is due to political forces FAR MORE than technological ones.

Things use the bluetooth for audio so i can listen in bed with headphones or controller support, or run Plex client. You now the most basic shit a box like can do. I have 3 Apple TVs rotting in my closet because they refuse to innovate on it AT ALL. Every TV in the house had an ATV on it, until i got sick of them doing nothing. I replaced them with Chromecast, Android TV Nexus Player and Fire TV stick. ALL of them beat the pants off ATV.
