What I find really interesting is the fact that this port spurred impovements in proprietary OpenGL drivers, in close collaboration with manufacturers.
This push by Valve may benefit everyone, even people who never will use Steam.
Hmmm, that actually gives me an idea..
I think that Google Glass should include a crucial feature.. ..the ability to punch people in the face over standard TCP/IP
Well, maybe not punch, due to platform limitations, but a shock should be an acceptable substitute and first step.
We already have "push" messaging, so we're just a step away anyway.
So, if I understand the idea correctly, once the keylogger has the base password, all derived passwords are screwed? It protects against hash/unencrypted password leaks, but makes the base password too valuable.
I think you're misunderstanding the point. OP talks about finding bare coordinates, not position on a map. Not all applications of GPS are tied to the map data, and map data is "external" to finding your position anyway (but can be used to correct it with assumption like "you're on the ground and on a road"). Sure, maps are big, but all the data needed to get raw coordinates is quite small. But with this system, you need a database of all your new "reference points" - cell towers, wifi, etc. What's worse, this data becomes obsolete fast, while GPS constellation is not radically changing often, and all (most?) changes are communicated automatically via almanac data.
As far as I understand it's still subject to quotas and at the very least the employer has the burden to prove they cannot find such an employee in 1) Switzerland, 2) EU/EFTA.
A third state national can take a job in Switzerland only if a person cannot be hired from within the Swiss labour market or an EU/Efta state. Employers must show that they made “intensive efforts” to find a Swiss, EU/Efta citizen or any foreign national already in Switzerland with a permit to work. Moreover, employers must show why those with priority who applied were not suitable for the job.
Fortunately, some professions, like researchers, are exempt from quotas.
For anyone wishing to dig into details, here's the corresponding legislation (FR, DE or IT only)
Offline Mode is still done via Steam - it just won't need an internet connection to start up after the game in question has been updated an authorized once. Still, Steam is a lot milder DRM scheme that Ubisoft's.
Seriously, Ubisoft one just kicks you out of the game, without possibility of saving, should your connection falter for a second. At least it used to. Steam needs just one check at its own startup - and this can be bypassed on next startups by enabling Offline Mode.
It may seem that "melding" a game with Steam is still superfluous for a single-player game. It is a good point, but Steam does bring some benefits. It manages the social part of the game that's very trendy now - achievements; it ensures automatic patching of the game, which is very important in TES series games where there are multitude of small bugs; it syncs save games between PCs with the cloud; and last but not least, for the first time in TES history, it offers a tightly integrated mod directory, in which you can simply "subscribe" to mods, to always get the latest versions of the mod cocktail you want.
All devices? It only applies to "All HTC Android devices launched after September 2011". Also, tho process means they will have a record of a certain device requesting such unlock, possibly affecting warranty.
On old BioWare forums you had "registered owner" status for accounts. At the same time, this served as a backup for cd-keys of sorts: they were retrievable by the user.
And people on slashdot.org read that Japan has already released 10% as much radioactive material as Chernobyl, and somehow it's all a liberal scare.
And furthermore, those 10% only compare atmospheric release.
Just my personal educated guess, but I think the share of atmospheric release in Fukushima accident is much lower than for Chernobyl, where we had an open reactor fire.
Note that the construction site is preserved rather than completely abandoned.
Well, from the pictures it appears to be nearly completely abandoned - preserved sites don't have standing water on the floor.
The text in the links and eyewitness accounts say that there's still minimal lighting, water pumping, and guard patrols there (visits to this lab are somewhat risky, but that's just what experienced diggers like). They are kept in a barely preserved state - but the site in the original article is completely abandoned, with the tunnels filled in.
But it is my understanding that from such a full proof of an algorithm's specification you can extract the algorithm itself, thanks to Curry-Howard.. Then again, maybe not always.

You probably missed the news that 4.1 code was released well on schedule, before devices arrived. They have learned from past backlash in this regard.

There are, however, easy-to-use piracy tools for Windows that do exactly that. I'm pretty sure it's a big chunk of MS motivation for the whole mess.
Towards a point, perhaps. Time-wise, indefinitely. Bitcoin-wise, up to an unreachable limit of about 21 million.

Yeah, the brain needs several tries to set up the proper mental image with this headline.
Myself, I pictured The Lost Vikings among others..
I guess they outsourced it to Churov & Co

We need a car analogy here.

Since it's Europe, it'll be Black Mesa East.
Reminds me of this one: PIXELS by Patrick Jean

For comparison, here are the photos of a similar abandoned Russian project (Google-translated):

Cue a surge of Facebook traffic in 3.. 2..
Don't forget the fact that Buran also had a working autonomous guidance system and was able to perform an entire mission unmanned.
Look for fallout maps. Example, this one

Wikipedia to the rescue. It's a chip with programmable logic, and commands to reset it are unknown, plus it needs special hardware to reset it.
