is a lie. It's not the most advanced open source engine (torque engine, gameplay3d, ogre3d, many others). It's not the only game engine with visual tools (jmonkeyengine, torque, unity, leadwerks). Stop trolling trying to get traffic.

we should put something in place to prevent it from happening? Oh, we signed the orders to allow the CIA to do it? Oh. Well then, shame on you for not doing it right. Back to bickering about possibly shutting the government down...

After spending a decade in Orlando, FL and recently moving to a whole other state, I can say the lack of local conferences (other than a few HTML5 ones that came and went as nothing more than a novelty *Senchacon*) was one of those things I wish weren't true. Like bands, no one likes to visit florida unless it's for a large eared mouse or to die. On second thought, no one wants to visit florida... Nothing to see here, move along.

huge space for COBOL/FORTAN/PASCAL/OLD_SHIT -> node.js (or other cloud friendly service host, insert fav.) in the future. Some companies are already doing that or a subset of that.

indeed.

OpenJDK has JavaFX, it's called OpenJFX... is it complete, no, is it enough to start? sure. Oracle doesn't give a shit about java, they only wanted the patents.

While it's not to the point where every major city has a "team" of dota pro's... The International 2014 was shown on ESPN3, that's progress....

omg this ^. This is all about H1B visas after congress blocked their request for more amidst layoffs. Screw microsoft and the products they produce. They can die a slow painful death and rid us of their filth forever (I'm looking at you Windows Tablets...)

...at 36,000ft. That's why I never use mine... After about 7,000ft I get 0 bars. I'm not going to pay $18 to use WiFi for longer than an hour so I'll just use the time to drink and relax.

...developed by DICE this time. If the article poster in question actually knew anything about BF:HL he/she would know this...

Where do you work that you get such a laxed environment where Architects are actually doing their jobs and no developer is just cowboy coding architecture into the mix? I want to work there. I think you really need to evaluate where you are and how good you have it. If you want to make architectural decisions, maybe work your way into an architectural role. If you just want to implement XYZ because you think it's cool. You deserve the paycut. I don't want you to take it the wrong way, but a lot of jobs I've worked at has been developers making the architectural decisions and the architecture ends up shit. Be glad you have a committee that cares enough about it to prevent people from implementing anything they feel like. I'd love a job like that.

omg this! Mod's, give this man some points!
