No, I'm not WOZ but if you ever watch or read anything on the history of this you'd learn that he was very apt on the bill of materials. He succeeded by combining many parts into one to save on cost and complexity.

What? This writing reaks of the Grate Book of MOO.

The title gives the impress "thanks for reading, we're shutting down /. kthxbi"

as always, tl;dr

Oh no there are clear bugs along with a truckload of poor choices. My favorite is mouse scrolling in metro is horribly jerky and laggy but the scroll bar is butter smooth and I'm sure so is touch - the only thing I bet they tested...

This is dumb, it only fractures the market more and opens them up to the Grate Fone Warz. Why not help finish reactos and BeOS clones? I mean for real, why piddle over pointless junk that 12 nerds will buy and they'll get sued or bought out over? Derp!

Its the best to me because:

I messed with it a lot in Tribes 2. So I can only assume it has gotten better but:
Its net code was not tied to frame rendering and was object oriented from the get-go.
Had a built in world editor that worked while live games were running. You could prop a server up and edit the world real-time.
Supported scripting and compiled it on the fly for faster run-times
had the best vehicle code I've seen outside of a racing game...

Hopefully one can learn this, perhaps consider publishing, and then license it for $100 still. That'd be great!

Some men just want to watch the world burn...

Ha! I try to support local vendors and growers. For farmers markets and the like, I cant recommend anyone else. As for other local shops and the like, they charge more (computer repair/parts, auto, tools, groceries) for less value. What I mean is that they are equal or less in quality, and their service is usually mean and or non caring like they dont need my money or desire to help me to make extra sales. I was flat out told that I "dont need a new computer" when he had no idea what for (a media center, new addition) and I responded by saying I guess what you dont need is money and left.

Sure it may draw faster but I can load 5 other office programs by the time Metro Mail loads. Maybe uh, work on that.

Bullshit, my HTC and other devices can output HDMI via USB you insensitive cod

Um, in case you were living under a rock, its due out next year (2013 in case you needed that too)

Can they stop re-making movies already. Everything in theaters this year other than two or three movies are all remakes. Why not take some other short story and mold it into the next Bladerunner or something?!?!

Awesome point. Wont this cut down on the number of traffic tickets they can write, since the cars will drive themselves? How will this get passed -- auto driving cars if the police force looses its best source of income?

If parent is true, then Android is one of the things this patent targets. You see, it does this too. However, it does it better in some instances allowing you to have a bigger "finger dragger" thingy pop up allowing you to crunch through 500 pages fast and easy

We can make better displays with this right - now one electron wide pixels!
