I don't think it is likely at all that all of their games will be playable on it. Most of all you have hardware concerns, it will be playing generic windows games and therefore some of them simply will not work on it. Also Steam publishes many games that require unofficial patches and a lost of custom fiddling to get working (which will be a whole lot harder/impossible on a console, and unforgivable on a console as well).
I wonder how they will handle it. Right now Steam is just a normal games publisher and they publish many games that do not even run without unofficial patches and customization. This is forgiveable on a PC, but on a console it is not.
Water is only slightly less common then rock and vacume in outer-space (or at least in our section of it).
Entire planets are made mostly of ice, as well as many meteors being full of the stuff. Liquid water is rather rare, but then we know where liquid water exists by how far away the closest star is. Unless you are talking about under the surface water.
And where does this "everywhere on Earth water is found, life is found" come from? Life is found everywhere on earth except in magma perhaps. Water is also found in varying amounts everywhere as well, so it is not that I find that statement false but rather uninteresting and inconclusive. You could say that all life on earth needs water, which I think is true, but the original article is not even talking about finding liquid water.
The article is talking about finding oxygen, which is not a reason to expect life as any life they are going to find will be bacteria in the ice and that will likely not even need oxygen.
I agree completely. Any life we find close to Earth, while very interesting and a huge help in understanding exactly what life is, will not produce any tangible benefits while finding a planet full of useful resources very much could.
Oxygen can be a signature of life, because plants produce it. But if they have a more likely source for this oxygen, like water and radiation, then it hardly seems like a good reason to expect life.
Also I don't know the science behind it but just because all animals on earth need it is a bad reason to assume that all animal like life needs it (it is a common resource here so it is not a surprise that we use it).
Should I care and why would anyone increase funding because of this? Radiation + Water can often release O^n, this is pretty common knowledge. And both radiation and water are common.
It is just a bunch of pretty normal metal and plastic as far as electromagnetism is concerned. Any solar flare that would destroy a CD would likely kill every living being on earth.
So do our financial institutions take measures to keep our finance data safe? Because if we are really talking about every single HDD on earth being destroyed normal data protection techniques are not going to work. And if that actually happened I don't think civilization would survive.
"This kind of event is going to knock anything out that can conduct electricity. The telegraph lines overloaded and caught fire in 1859. Your data isn't safe, if it's on a hard drive, CD, SSDs, the cloud etc."
Why are CDs on that list? CDs do not use electricity or magnetism.
Or bone transplants,. I imagine it should be a lot easier to get a body to accept foreign but similar bone then some of the other organs they transplant regularly.
But possibly the titanium bone is actually an improvement?
"And without a lawful arrest, he couldn't have resisted arrest." No, potentially in Florida law, but in general "Resisting Arrest" is synonymous with "Resisting an Officer" and does not require a separate reason to arrest someone (simply that a citizen did not follow the orders of an officer).
From your own words: "Resisting without violence is governed by Florida Statutes 843.02 and requires proof of resisting, obstructing, or opposing a law enforcement officer performing a “lawful execution of any legal duty”."
Legal duty, not just arresting but resisting anything the officer does to you that is legal for him to do.
"How can a journalist be charged with 'resisting arrest' when he was not being arrested for anything other than resisting arrest?" I believe that resisting arrest is an umbrella term that can apply by itself. If a cop is legally pulling you over to simply check if you are intoxicated (etc) or just asking to talk to you on the street and you run away then legally you are resisting arrest even though you where not being arrested in the first place.
That is the point of the controls. "Correlation != Causation" is used when you find a statistical trend in a group. But if you take a group and have some of that group be the controls (identical except for one variable) then you cannot say that. You could find a flaw in their control method, but simply saying "Correlation != Causation" is idiotic in all situations like this.
There is a big difference between the right to be forgotten and the right to decide what is remembered and what is forgotten.This picking and choosing seems to be a completely untenable situation.
That is valid point. Mild over the limit intoxication has been scientifically proven to really only effect you a tiny moderate amount. Turning a competent driver into a fairly competent driver, and still far better then the vast majority of other drivers. I guarantee you that you are saver with my father driving 3 beers over the limit then you are with my sober mother but then it is always advantageous to have as much skill and reaction time as possible.
Which is not to say that they law does not make sense. The law is in place and is so non lenient because otherwise you would have even more incompetent drivers who are falling over drunk under estimating their intoxication, laws have to weight the psychological effect of themselves on the public.
So were the active video game kids just not playing their (boring) games and that is why it was equal? Did they figure out it is actually a whole lot easier to minimize your moments (or even just use normal controls) instead of waving your arms about and jumping around like the adverts? Did the kids who did not get exercise from their video games do a little on their own?
We figured out that G.L. was an idiot years ago. Sure, the lead lining very well might protect you from radiation. But there is nothing in a lead lined fridge that protects you from velocity. Assuming that the fridge stayed intact (and your body was not spread over a 20 mile radius) you would probably just be a pile of chunky pink goo when it landed. Best case scenario, the majority of your bones and organs would be destroyed.
Is most of that really shared? I guess having a shared email account makes a kind of sense, but not really. If you have a combined email account/Facebook account you cannot really just have one person take over the use of them. I think your divorce has rendered such things as worthless. Other things on that list come off as something you can continue to share.
But at the end of the day it is all a case by case scenario. What are you expecting?/. to come out and say: "ah, Domains, well obviously those always go to the husband, but the wife gets the email"???
"it would have to be played by ear to see how the emotional climate was surrounding her death"
So you want international companies to play it by ear based on the emotional climate? Ignoring the impossibilities of this, I still have no idea why this would be consider to be in bad taste. You are obviously not hurting the artists themselves or their families. They, theoretically, want as much money from their IP as possible and should enjoy the esteem granted their dead relatives. Is it the fans who make it in bad taste? They just had to "deal with" the loss of an artist they liked and now Sony is piling an increased price tag on to their "grief"???

AKA a windows computer hooked up to a TV and with many software blocks in place to prevent general computer like use.

Legal duty, not just arresting but resisting anything the officer does to you that is legal for him to do.
You are in a state of resisting if you are resisting.
You do not have any rights to ignore any legal orders given to you by a police officer.

I believe that resisting arrest is an umbrella term that can apply by itself.

So not only do bacteria use tools, but crafted iron tools at that?
It is amazing what a sped up life cycle and evolution can do.
Strange that is is iron, on a single atom level it would not be any tougher then the other elements.
That is the point of the controls.
