I obviously didn't mean that. The linked Stackoverflow post speaks about senior scientists with no software engineering knowledge at all have written this big ball of spaghetti. Some people have 20 years of coding experience. Others have 20 times one year experience.
When I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I had a lot of problems with graphics drivers the official binary blob driver install made the whole screen black even after restart, I had to reinstall the OS from scratch, and go with the half assed opensource driver.
If Valve wants to make the the Linux Steam experience as seamless as on Windows, they have to stick to an LTS kernel for a long time.
Sorry, that was stupid. But keeping up with new hardware would certainly need stable binary kernel apis. Or at least good information about what hardware is supported by which version of which distro.
I don't think searching for malware is equivalent to solving the halting problem. For e.g. for a game it's enough to check where it wants to write; if it wants to write outside of it's own directory than it raises red flags. Basically it's enough to analyse what kind of APIs it uses. (The OS sandbox should provide an API that jails your writes to a certain directory.)
Pledge $99 or more: GET AN OUYA: console and controller. Guarantee we will have one available for you, before it gets to stores. Plus the rewards above. We're figuring out how many we can make! (We have to ask you to add $20 for shipping outside the U.S.) Please add $30 if you want a second controller.
Germans seems pretty happy with their qwerty keyboards. If you look at national keyboards, they are minor variations of qwerty. (e.g. the Hungarian one switches y and z and adds í).
That's intresting. In my country (Hungary) the minimum per person is 44 square feet (4 m2), so your 70 sq ft for 2 would violate that. And this is an Eastern-European country.
That was my point, that games are first and foremost about the rules of the game (aka gameplay). The story is just window dressing. Also, not every genre depends on story to the same extent. For an RPG or an adventure game the story is important, for others it's less so.
Turing completeness doesn't help if the lack of proper datastructures make the program too slow. (Although I find it hard to believe that Erlang doesn't have proper arrays.)

Just run an encrypted torrent client in the background with a few Linux isos.

Valve still has to recompile all it's catalogue for a new kernel unless there are stable binary interfaces.
Well, it's lightweight ...
The really frightening tought is that there are many 40 year old first year CS students.
Not Linux but close enough: http://excamera.com/sphinx/gameduino/
Maybe they should just bundle the shared libraries like they do it on Windows.
That would defeat the whole purpose of this fee.
Oh, she's a woman! I just saw a movie with a hacker woman in it, I think we can use her as a frame of reference for dressing:

The first rule of geek dresscode is that you don't speak about geek dresscode.

Are you talking about JSON? Because full JS is not a description language.
. In both cases we're talking about private entities intercepting EM radiation that is public, but not intended for that entity.
Do you mean here visible light that's detected by the cameras? Because people are more aware of their privacy in that EM spectrum.
I hate dried squids too. That's what you meant, right?
They're not begging. They're selling it.

Sorry, I thought he's a software ENGINEER.

So, what's the story of Pacman, Space Invaders, Asteriods, Frogger, Snake or Tetris?
Back in my day I could play videogames on my C64 without understanding English.
Not just second language, there are several cities with Hungarian majority there. There was even a movement for autonomy of the region.
