This deal, which is the most expensive acquisition in Microsoft’s history, will make Microsoft the third-largest game company by revenue behind Tencent and Sony. But more importantly, it will kick off Microsoft’s venture into the metaverse.

The Hornets departed Florida’s Naval Air Station Pensacola at around 4 p.m. local time for a 30-minute flyover ranging from the Pensacola area to Alabama’s Fort Morgan.

    The hunt for solid conservative news sites that offer more than just spin and cheerleading is often difficult, fraught with hours of web trawling and disappointment. Welcome to Liberty Nation’s Top 20 Conservative News Sites to Read in 2020. Last year, LN ran a wildly successful poll to figure out which sites conservative folks are actually reading. Over the last 12 months, our poll has reached the giddy heights of being the number one Google search result for Top Conservative News. For 2020, we decided to do even better.

    Whether it’s a program you found on the Internet or something that came in your email, running executable files has always been risky. Testing software in clean systems requires virtual machine (VM) software and a separate Windows license to run inside the VM. Microsoft is about to solve that problem with Windows Sandbox.

  • Draft Reinstatement Is a Bad Idea

    Bad ideas flourish in tough times. Calls to reinstate the draft offer a case in point. Americans today rely on the service and sacrifice of our military. The global war on terrorism has put our soldiers, sailors, marines, Air Force and Coast Guard into harm's way in numbers unprecedented since the Vietnam War. National Guard and reserve troops have been posted overseas at record levels. All the men and women of today's military volunteered to serve. They swore an oath to put aside their personal aspirations and obligations for the service of all Americans. But some politicians argue that these...

    “No more nightmares,” said Mohammed Taha. “A lot more good will happen in Iraq after 35 years of nightmares.” Taha was just one of thousands of Iraqis who reacted with joy about the news that Saddam Hussein was captured Dec. 13 and is now in U.S. custody. What makes Taha unique is that he is one of a handful of Iraqi exiles working as a translator for the U.S. Air Force here. After the initial shock and disbelief, Taha reflected on the wounds Hussein and the Ba’ath party inflicted on his family. “My brother was killed. Three or four of...

    Today in Memorial Day in the United States. Different days in different countries, same idea. I would bet many of you react to Memorial Day like this: "Why should I care about what happened to old or dead people a long, long time ago? What does this have to do with me? This is all a waste of my time. I'm young and alive, I have better things to do." Many of you think it, a few of you say it. Others call you names, and you get told "You should." You ask again, "What does it have to do...

    In the aftermath of the September 11th 2001 attacks on America, it is time for us to examine our national, and to some extent, local policies, as an integral part of our overall response to this “undeclared war” against America and her allies.The principle assumptions are (1) that it is not the responsibility of the United States to be everything to everybody. And, (2) the only geopolitical variable that we can realistically control is the United States.It is time for other nations, particularly developing nations, to step up to the plate and work to make things better for “their” citizens...

    A contingent of 15 Outback Steakhouse employees from across America traveled to Kandahar, Afghanistan, on June 17 with food in tow to cook for the coalition forces deployed there. On the flight between Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and Kandahar, Lt. Col. Gary Goldstone, 17th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron vice commander, described the delivery as a big surprise. “This mission is special,” Goldstone said. “We’re delivering about 6,000 steaks to people who have been eating (Meals Ready to Eat) for the last three to six months. The look on their faces should be telling.” A lot of planning went into the mission,...
