By purchasing the (good) games available for Linux I am giving those companies which produce Linux versions motivation to keep doing so.
I don't buy terrible games just because they get a Linux Release.. Of the games I listed and their metascore
XCom2 (88)
Alien Isolation (81)
Spec Ops (76)
Metro Last Light (82)
Bioshock Infinite (94)
Saints Row 4 (84)
I haven't really played SR4 yet but I'm not sure how you can say I am "settling" and "anything" is good enough for me.
Of the "Indie" games I have ( and have enjoyed enormously ) they include
Faster Than Light (FTL) (84)
Don't Starve (79)
Thomas was Alone (77)
There can be some snobbishness about Triple A games. Though looking at my Steam history my top 5 games for actual hours played include 2 "indie" roguelikes. Sometimes I just want to play games that are fun and have some replayability.
I often get snooty comments from work colleagues about how I'm playing Triple A, or Double A (or some such arbitrary designation of gaming quality) late.
Then when some AAA game comes out on Linux I get comments along the lines of "well you haven't got (insert arbitrary game) on Linux"
I am happy with my game collection (177 of 210 games in my library play natively on Linux) and with quality ports coming from companies like Feral on an increasingly regular basis and newer engines like Unreal 4 (and I assume Source 2) supporting Linux natively things can only get better.
I have more than enough quality games still to play I'm currently playing XCom2 and when I want to take a break from that I'm part way through Alien Isolation, SpecOps: The Line and Metro Last Light. When I finish them I'll have Saints Row 4, ARK: Survival Evolved and I may replay Bioshock Infinite since I've got a better graphics card for XCom. I'm sure by the time I've worked my way through those there will be more games available.
I have no control over your karma. If it does take a hit, however, it will likely have more to do with you deliberately confusing two unrelated issues than with any hot topic buttons you may press.
I'm not sure that how one group of people treats another is unrelated to how they feel or respond.
I don't love what Israel is doing with the settlements, but using that in order to claim that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza, or to try and claim moral equivalence between Israel and Hammas, is simply wrong.

There is a great amount of wrong on both sides, certainly enough to go around. International law also frowns on Collective punishment but that doesn't seem to stop the Israeli government when it suits them. I have not claimed moral equivalence.But it seems strange to be concerned with International law when Hammas is in the wrong but the Israeli government gets a free pass for their crimes or people are even accused of anti-Semitism for simply pointing out when this is the case.
I love your use of "International Law"

Israel is not the greatest proponent of "international Law"
I'm sure my karma will take a hit talking about such hot button topics

You can do exactly as you want. Allowing calls (or a subset of callers ) whilst stopping other notifications.
Works well enough on my custom rom (5.0.2)
"My Note 3 has 3GB of RAM but due to all the shit Samsung and AT&T have stuck on the phone it only has about 1GB free."
I Cant speak about AT+T firmware. But the Note 3 in UK (EE) a lot of the Samsung Apps aren't installed by default and only install if you select them from the app menu and others can be disabled ( which also un-installs any updates ). This is much better than the S3 which I rooted almost immediately to free space and remove apps.
Also as the linux kernel is in use and it (rightly) tries to use all the RAM all the time. Apps you have closed may be cached etc.
I think your complaint may be misguided to a degree. Though the bloatware and carrier restrictions seem much worse across the board in the US.
Fedora 20 is excellent out of the (metaphorical) box.
I'm going to move my dad across to it from Mint next time I do an update. (It has become difficult to build a git version of wine since Ubuntu made some upstream changes to multilib)
You can on Linux.
I have enjoyed playing Fez and Super Meat Boy that way.
For some reason Trine2 doesn't like it but so far that is the only game I've found that has any issues.
I like the parent posters have both the native and (several) wine installations.
As games get ported I remove them from the wine installs and add them to the native client.
At the moment I'm actively playing (thanks to the recent sales)
Native: TF2, World of Goo, SS3:BFE
Emulated: Skyrim , Deux Ex:HE, CS:GO, XCOM
When the rest of the Source games get released I'm sure I'll be playing through HL2 again and possibly killing some more zombies with friends ( LFD 1+2 )
Also I'm running on Gentoo and the native client wasn't difficult to install though I'll certainly appreciate it once there are a selection of distro specific packages or some logic to simplify installs inside the main steam installer.
Other family members have Mint installed and steam was trivial to install there.
Kinda works for me.
Get root on Gentoo box
Then everything stopped working within a couple of seconds. any programs started were auto killed and all networking stopped dead.
I saw an kernel oops in the kernel ring log.
a reboot was required to do anything useful.

I think you are not conflating weak and strong atheism.
Weak atheism as far as i can see is perfectly reconcilable with science.
Also in a very real sense we are all agnostics; Even true believers.
The series 24 has been consistantly bad with the whole computer thing, comments about just "opening a port" etc.
I also saw the worst peice of Product Placement on the show. It was around the 5th Season
CTU was under attack from a hacker and an exchange along the lines of this took place.
Technician 1: They're released a virus, we better do something
Technician 2: Don't worry the Cisco Self defending Network should hold them for about half an hour.

Is this the OS equivalent of Godwins law?
4.4.0-109 was released to fix the regression last night https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn... for me 4.4.0-108 booted successfully and OOPSed on shutdown
The US has a President that gloated about not paying tax saying that it made him "smart"
Brilliant news, lets hope this judgement sticks.
the old and new versions coexist (at least on my work Ubuntu 16.04 box) The old version is "skype" the new alpha is "skypeforlinux"

Have you cleared the cache from recovery? that fixes a lot of issues after the lollipop update.

I know I'm a pedant but I enjoyed that!
though putting "debian 7" (including the quotes) gets much better answers ;-)

I played it through over the last couple of days and haven't encountered any problems with it. Now for some L4D2 :-)
I did it using the "gamerlay" overlay. There are guides on doing it without using overlays for example http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam one bug that bit me was fixed like this http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846939071390931093/

Anyone remember a robot war variation on the old Research Machines (RM) 480Z systems ? I would love to play with it again for nostalga's sake.
