Sounds like you're glad to see the end of the ability to use strongly typed languages in a web environment. What would you choose to use instead?

well since silverlight isn't really the "web" as such i don't see a problem using the same tools everyone else uses and has used for many years now - javascript with jquery

you mean I can't use Python??
I never worried about strong typing back when I did ASM development. oh wait, don't take that to mean that I enjoyed ASM development. I am quite happy with my javascript. 
as if the facebook, twitter and message boards weren't enough - blogged

You can't use Python for client side scripting or applications, no.

Indirectly, it vindicates the apple strategy.

Yey! All hail the new technology for making 'rich web application' that doesn't support sockets, again!
If you ask me why do I need them, I'll rip your head off and... those who played Duke know the rest.

It's not here now, but by the time silverlight is gone, web sockets should be available.

I would be sad to see Silverlight pulled. It is much better than Flash, and this is a perfect opportunity for MS to gain some traction with it.

Skyrim is a available for preload. Yay.
Load steam and get ready to start. And it's gone. No Skyrim in my games list.
The forums were hacked a couple of days ago so no help there.
Leave a few hours and come back still no Skyrim.
Decide to contact Steam support to see what's going on.
Go to create account and enter details.
Wont create the account because it says I've already got an account.
Ask to reset the pasword because I can vaguely remember creating an account years ago.
Get Email
Try to log into Steam account.
No account with that email address.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

Hey, that's a pretty good business model you described there. Lot's of other sites employ it too.

You just wait young man! It's just a game till someone gets hurt! By my word - you'll poke your eye out!

If Oblivion is “just a game”?! Then Salma Hayek is just the next woman.

If Salma Hayek is my next woman, I'll buy you a copy of Skyrim.

I hope you still get that worked out. A couple of days ago a few people could not understand why I would not buy Skyrim or any other game which makes having a Steam account mandatory. One more 'service' which I can live very well without.

If I wasn't a big fan of the series, that's exactly what I would do. But my desire to play this game is way beyond my pride and hatred for steam.

Well, now I can say I used to be a big fan since Daggerfall. Now I have thrown the whole stuff off my computer and the whole thing is of no interest anymore. No game is worth having to jump through loops and I will certainly find something else to do. But no doubt, they will probably get away with it and try some other stunt next time. Like a few others before, they will only realize that they went too far when they have put off a few too many of their customers and some product collects dust in the shelves.
