    Living room friendly case is about to be moot with Steam Link. I say this as someone who has several living room ready cases right next to him. 2 of the cases I have are being offered as OEM Steam Machines. (Silverstone Raven and Prodigy)

    I still play Quake 3 and UT because nothing can replace them.They are arguably better games than any CoD since COD4.

    The important part to take away from Democracy is that every person is automatically a participant. Just as we tempered raw democracy with Republic ideals, so too have we amended the laws since the 30s to account for changing tech. The point remains, these arent archaic, outdated laws. Common carrier principals are pretty sound considering we spent almost a century refining it.

    Democracy is based on 2000 year old principles. This argument was dead before you typed it. Common carrier is common carrier, bits are bits.

    Not everyone can snake HDMI. An HDMI cable can EASILY cost more than $50 for certain runs, even from monoprice. Further, splitting HDMI to multiple monitors is a giant hassle sometimes. $50 for a custom remote HDMI system is DAMN impressive. This is WAY cheaper then i thought it would be. You arent seeing outside of your tiny box.

    No, hardware vendors are selling machines, not Valve. Or you can make your own. This is what im talking about, the Steam Box is an IDEA, not a singular machine or design. Its a way of using what you have to make your own, or buy a fully formed dedicated box. Its an alternative and wont fit into any one pre-existing container currently on the market. Its a console built from the ground up organically, not empirically from the top down. I have a good/better/best Steam Machine setup since the concept was first announced in 2012. Its not a box, its a way to dedicate hardware to play games.

    NO, parents make decisions for their kids when they are too young to do so. This is an adult decision and its best to leave them out. If you want to ask them which parent they want to live with sure, but not everything.

    You are so wrong it hurts. Look at DOTA 2. Its a monster of epic proportions... Valve just solved the mouse/controller schism problem. They are going ot let you pipe your PC to your TV for $50 per screen.....They are way more serious then you imagine.

    I wish people understood how cheaply Valve is doing all this. They are building a gravity well, a potential, not a single machine. Sony and MS spent orders of magnitude more money to get where Valve is in the console process. WE are seeing a console built from the ground up, using what we have lying around. MS spent more money on their controller than Valve has spent on the entire SteamOS project.

    The problem with this argument is the law didnt stand still since its inception. It has been amended and ruled on to handle modern issues. your argument is not honest. Point out SPECIFIC archaic rules that you object to. Last i checked POTS works damn well and has for a century so you are going to need compelling evidence.

    WE DONT trust them, thats why we didnt push hard for regulation in the 90s. The latest FCC actions were DECADES in the making. SO to the uninformed like you it might seem like we are championing the FCC, when in reality we are fucking giddy to see our enemy take such a hard strike against them. No informed person thinks this was the best choice, it was the only choice the ISPs left us with.

    You are interpreting wrong. 'However' is not necessarily a limiter you think it is. "United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. "

    stands alone.

    "There is, however," is unrelated to the part about debt. Since neither of us are lawyers lets agree its ambiguous at best, instead of claiming early victory.

    Lets look at the terms.

    Legal tender: when i began my search, i typed in legal tender and the first result was this

    "legal tender
    noun
    coins or banknotes that must be accepted if offered in payment of a debt."

    The root meaning of the words themselves are Lawful OFFER. It seems to me that its not just my opinion? Care to counter?

    I think that Apple sucks up inventions due to its position and tech ripening, jsut like all the other 'innovators' in the space right now. The only TRUE innovation going on right now is interconnecting users and how to monetize them at chokepoints.
