Comment Re:Why reduce the DPI instead of using larger font (Score 5, Insightful) 549

And all sorts of business critical applications that use unscalable texts in the UI. Now you can blame the application for not scaling but usually just buying a bigger screen for the user is a lot cheaper than having the application fixed (if it is even fixable at all).

BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details 316

BlizzCon kicked off this morning with a keynote address that brought some major announcements for some of their games. First, World of Warcraft's third expansion, Cataclysm, was officially revealed. It differs from the previous expansions in that they will not be creating an entirely new continent for players to explore. Instead, the two huge continents from the original game will be going through a literal cataclysm, causing some zones to be destroyed, new ones to become available, and existing ones to be entirely revamped. Big news came for Diablo III as well, with the announcement of the Monk class and a trailer showing how it plays. More details for both games as well as StarCraft II will undoubtedly become available over the next few days, but read on for more about what we already know. If you have any questions, don't forget to post them here.

rather than the battle-tested pilot sitting up front

Yeah right, been watching Aircrash Investigations lately? How many crashes are from pilot error like the one near Amsterdam where not two but three of those "battle tested" pilots plowed their plane into the ground because one (of five!) altimeters was broken.

FT only supports a single vCPU from my understanding... Not too many people running single CPU VM's, at least in my experience...

You should be running single vCPU machines by default and only scale CPU's if absolutely necessary and if the app is fully SMP aware and functional.
