Why, then, is it that near every game comes out with an extensive modding platform if it is worth nothing to them? Your logic might make sense if you exclude the mountain of evidence that nullifies your whole point.

This package has been superceded by the package nintendochannel, proceed with install? [Y/n]

How much does it cost me if they have no data because I don't play much PVP FPSes?

Dwarf... Fortress... nuff said. People laughed, Toady did it anyway.

Like Sony cared much on how much money we spent on PS2 games when they took out the Backwards Compat on the PS3. :\

What is FB?

Pretty sure the Beatles own the trademark for "Apple", and that this has actually been a legal case in the past WITH Apple Computers. Ironically, the agreement was that Apple Computers could never use their "Apple" in association with music... iTunes = whoops?

Microsoft gave up on copy-protection software? What universe do you live in? I still get checked for Windows Genuine Advantage anytime I install something from microsoft.com. Windows Games checks your serial numbers of games for pirated licenses, so on. Palladium Lives. :D

I, personally, would like to see a period Batman film, set in the original 30s in a Dark Deco setting reminiscent of the ol' Bruce Timm animated series. I'm getting tired of "modernizations" of classic super heroes; genetically altered spiders, cell phone imaging computers, al qaeda terrorist caves, etc.

Dunno if you've noticed, but /. isn't exactly a "Front Page, Headline, World News" source. If you came here for that, maybe you should try CNN.

Congraturations, you get award: Reading Fail. TFA's title = "Fork history does not favor OpenOffice.org" OPENOFFICE, not LIBREOFFICE. No contradiction. A fork in this context is when someone takes the code from a project and "forks" it on a different development path, like a "fork" in the road. OO.o went one way, Libre went the other. Have a nice day. :)

not to mention males!

What about H.264 is Open? Nada.

I read Opera also announced dropping H.264 support. I guess IE9 and Safari will be the only ones featuring it.

Great job reading the article... "The service for Fedora and Ubuntu Desktop is free of charge. For other distributions, the subscription fee starts at $3.95 per system a month, after a 30-day free trial."
