That man was Larry Page from U of M in Ann Arbor, who later reversed engineered Rob Malda on his own and starting a little known tech company called Google based on the technology.
Shocking that people wouldn't be doing transactions with a currency that few people know about or understand and that even fewer people are willing to accept as payment.
Based on exchange rates listed on Mt.Gox — the most widely used Bitcoin exchange — the coins have a value of more than $82.87 million.
That is referred to as an inferred value. Same thing happens with companies. Say you buy 5% of a company for $1 million. By doing so you think the entire company is worth $20 million (5% of $20 million is $1 million). That doesn't mean it is actually worth that much, it just means someone paid an amount that implies the value of the company. On a thinly traded commodity inferred values can be wildly misleading because the person doing the transaction might have overpaid compared with the going market rate. If most of the bitcoins are sitting on the sidelines, that $80 million valuation is almost certainly far higher than is realistic.

Ubuntu has both kvm/libvirt and VirtualBox available for it.
Both are high quality, proven virtualization solutions.
Hyper-V is a shitty slapped together solution Microsoft hurriedly arranged because they failed yet again to get into that market on time.
How about we start a kickstarter to not port VLC to windows phone?
Larry Ellison isn't going to like this...
Thanks, we were going with the generic ugly slab approach but after reading your comment, we've decided to make it look good.

I believe Humans and Mammals are the dominant life form primarily due to our ability to withstand cataclysmic events like that.
It's why dinosaurs died out and mammals took over.
What OS do you think the SteamBox is going to run?
I'll give you a hint, it's got a penguin for a mascot.
That's okay, a huge percentage of games are crap.
We just need a number of really good ones.
Our OS?
They just did a full UI redesign with 2.6.
Mostly it's that OP is an unmitigated ass.

BobaFET technology is going to totally own FinFET!
You heard it here first!
Right, because Apple is a bastion of freedom and privacy for it's end users.
What could possibly go wrong?
Or Zombie epidemic kickstarter?
Even rms is excited about Steam for Linux:

"However, if you're going to use these games, you're better off using them on GNU/Linux rather than on Microsoft Windows."
