> The problem is, there were no competitors because (at least back then) game developers were not interested in solutions they didn't invent themselves. Maybe that has changed. I'd say that if you disregard indie development, that is st

Sharding like done in Eve is well established technically in the game development community. And I agree that this basically solves the problem we already know how to solve. The problem is in content, Most MMO's are designed to be content h

by Arelius 14y ago
I'd argue that the lack of "large-scale" MMO's is more due content production problems, and activity density (I don't care how good this grid database is, there is a density that will bottleneck it, at the very least, it will bottleneck t

I couldn't say for sure since I haven't studied it properly, but I think due to traffic, at some point we have a lower capacity to move people in a timely fashion. So perhaps the thing that there could be more of, in total, is "amount of pe

Not an argument against your primary point, really just semanitcs, but: "everybody's definition of marriage", is very different than what you may suggest is more in line with "the general/average definition of marriage" If you accept "every

As a counter example I have a good male friend, who, even being born in the US, still has a name most often mistaken as female. He does not have any such note in his email, works in a well respected field with a much more even gender ratio

But even if we are willing to upgrade every year, I'm still forced to use an outdated operating system. That seems wrong.

To be fair, KMS does stand for "Kernel mode switching" and is useful for things unrelated to X, such as Wayland.

To be fair, if that's going to happen, it's going to happen if Unity is on Linux or not, Thus it's better to have it on Linux I figure.

> We have consistently voted for hardware that’s thinner rather than upgradeable I'm ok with that, I'd prefer to get thinner hardware than hardware that I can upgrade, many of us have never upgraded a laptop anyways, and that's OK.

Is it just me, or has anyone else been much happier with modern Microsoft than Microsft of the Late 90/00's? Windows 8 phone is actually a great pleasure to use, even if the app ecosystem isn't where it needs to be.

Ok, seriously, I'm sort of sick of the file-stew meme in software development these days. Our editors aren't particularly designed for the one-file-per-function method of development that's been ohh-so-common. Serious, if a file is under a

Agreed, I would never trust my passwords to a private third-party with closed code-base. And KeePass still seems a little meh, especially regarding device support. So for now I'm using an encrypted file synced with DropBox.
