Comment Why don't Valve innovate then? (Score 3, Insightful) 197
Valve have the distribution mechanism and the software library in Steam, why don't they release a reference Valve Box then?
Hide windows with a pretty dedicated UI and sell it cheap. It's Amazon's business model for the Kindle and it seems to be working quite well for them.

City of Heroes Going Rogue With New Expansion 100
NCSoft has announced a major expansion to City of Heroes, titled Going Rogue, which they say will "blur the line between heroes and villains." It is set in Praetoria, a parallel universe governed by an evil version of Statesman, the game's lead hero. As part of a new alignment system, "hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City." Brian Clayton of Paragon Studios said, "For years, players could choose between playing as a hero or a villain. Now we will present a third, malleable path where players can be affected by the results of their actions."

The company will now target the same crowd around the globe, starting in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, India and Singapore."
Journal Journal: Pull or Push from 1000 devices in the network
"I'm designing a system where 1000 devices have to interact with my server periodically and on demand. A requirement is that devices are spread geographically. My manager would like to push data from devices to server. But a lot of them are behind firewalls, so a socket-based solution won't always work. I personally feel that if server polls the devices every 2 mins (a req) using HTTP, that's 1000 requests spread over 2 mins. Does anyone know a which way is a better choice? Then there is an issu

I used to email myself a link to a page when I found something interesting. The email account I used for that is so clogged up I had to stop using it.

On the subject of PDF printing I used to do that too but my hard drive got clogged up with a bunch of stuff I would never get round to reading. Cute Pdf is free for windows, in Linux print to file and use pstopdf or a similar too, I'm sure there is a print to pdf tool as well I've never used one though...
