This, considering my cell phone has better specs than Dalton.

CCP's Dev Blog is fantastic, and a worthwhile read for even non-EVE players. It is, for instance, where I learned about RAM SANs, the importance of message queueing, and how many servers it takes to crush a light bulb.

Have some:

Who knew I'd learn a new word today going to PU (PEW) Which in my day meant you stink. And Porn meant naked girls. Whats the new word for porn?

In any advent, I would like to see the Hardware specs, and know what data center you are putting it at. Where is all the hardware going to be setup.

And I concur with maradine, CCP's Eve online dev blogs, as a whole, are the best communication I've seen from any game developers for any other game. Eve patch notes are also very detailed, compared to other games. The delivery system should be copied by SOE for PS2.

I'd be great to have a CCP-style blog on the servers but I doubt we're going to get it. I've never seen any other company do it.


And.
Why is "technology porn" a phrase people can't seem to wrap their heads around?
