Looking from Rackspace to OVH is really going straight from one extreme to another. Softlayer is a more sensible middle-ground (though note their list prices are high, you'll almost always be able to get 2x RAM or similar).

They have tried importing people from "real gaming" before, e.g. Brian Reynolds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Reynolds_(game_designer) who worked on Civ2 and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

There's still more to do on optimising rendering for pages with lots of images, see https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2013/06/15/memshrinks-2... . I've got my eye on https://bugzil

Ok, I get what you're saying. You're right that the VC4 is the main selling point of the chip. Regarding image and video decoding...well, we do have OpenMAX which is a Khronos standard. It's just pretty horrific for normal people to use. GS

I don't see it as at all odd or surprising that the profits of the PC release of Brutal Legend will go in to the game. Double Fine will be reaping all of the profit from Broken Age, so it seems sensible that they carry some of the risk thro

Why? Are you also wary of digital sellers set up in Luxembourg for tax purposes (e.g. Amazon)? EDIT: GOG also claim that laws regarding signing international contracts are more favourable in Cyprus than Poland http://www.gog.com/forum/gene

It's great to see GOG receive more attention. I will note that GOG hasn't stood for "Good Old Games" for quite some time now. It's not just GOG, with no official expansion. They are easily my favourite games retailer (I choose not to purcha

If only Route53 allowed you to point the apex domain at Cloudfront (as I understand it, it's currently S3 or ELB).

There's some other choices which are interesting to me: luaproc as described in http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/docs/ry08-05.pdf is nice and simple. I'm also interested in lua-zmq.threads for LuaJIT which uses zeromq for message passin
