How to tell if it's a java app:
* It's doesn't use the OS's look and feel.
* It doesn't use the same font AA and hinting as everything else.
* A simple two-button window will take several seconds to load (instead of 1s), regardless of hardware.
* Memory usage jumps up, even if it's just a tiny console app.
Create as many accounts as game you have, and a dummy account for each computer you own. Share all the games with all computers' accounts. Since each game is it's own library, any game can be played on any computer at any given time. The only drawback is that you can't both play the same game at the same time.
Because when MS did this, it was a step in the wrong direction (since the previous console was less restrictive), while steam's move now is toward being less restrictive.
Some steam games have multiplayer-in-a-single-device, and most console games don't have multiplayer-in-a-single-device. Platform and the ability to handle several users at once are totally unrelated.
How about a much more real and everyday scenario: multiple devices for a single account. I've a desktop and a laptop; not unusual amongst gamers. If I want to download my steam library into my laptop, I've to stop playing on my desktop. This actually happened to me recently: I had a plane trip some hours later, I could either play a game (desktop), or download one for the trip(laptop), not both!
Contrast makes a difference. My LG LCD has awful colors, very lit blacks and very bad contraste. No matter how you configure it, it'll never look good enough. Even if new LED screens are 1080p and HDMI too.
I agree that a VCS is the best choice, as suggested above. If, for some reason, you don't want to use that (eg: too many binary files grow you repo too much), unison is a great choice. It uses rsync to sync files, and keeps track of which files where modified on which side.
If Jolla is successful enough (it seems it will be), maybe they'll end up picking up all the talended staff that gets layed of at Nokia Also, Jolla is in Finland as well, so (4) won't be in the past.
For how long? Microsoft is moving to a future where only software from Microsoft can be installed on its not your devices. Its not even being subtle about it. I suspect my next GNU/Linux will a converted chromebook
Ironically, GNU/Linux runs better on every iteration of the MacBook Air (I've just installed Arch on a 2013 MBA as proof of that).
Per-application volume control is THE missing feature in ALSA. If that ever comes to life, and easy enough for non-tech users, Pulseaudio will die for sure!
But this is: "The idea of having an Administrator set group policy, and being able to monitor both that policy and the use of mobile devices on the network is nothing new."
Yes, but what if a cop stops me and asks a few questions? I'm forced to respond, can't I expect that to be public? Or should I demand to be taken to the station and interrogated in private?
What if I progammed my car to drive and avoid stopping when it's about to hit pedestrians? Why if I did this unintentionally? Where do we draw the line?

The one on my package manager does not depend on any toolbars. What kind of wierd distro are you using? :-|
Which has really unusual formatting just to look shorter!
I sure as hell can.

RAID is for redundance and availability, rsync is for backups, totally different things.

And that's why Window XP is the best OS around, right?
Of course it's bad. It reflects badly on their image, and that's bad for revenue.

Until then, ALSA has stuff missing.
Ultraparanoid using an MS OS? OUTLOOK? LOL!
Land area != population.
So they could have just done that BEFORE mum lost her phone.
But this is:
"The idea of having an Administrator set group policy, and being able to monitor both that policy and the use of mobile devices on the network is nothing new."
Can't you see the difference!?
Indeed. What happens when mum's phone get stolen?
And people "skype" one another? I think "IM" and "call" are there everyday verbs, sorry.

It's sad that "randomized dungeons" are the new thing, when Diablo II had those out-of-the-box over a decade earlier.
