Devices that don't officially support SDXC only advertise support up to 32GiB, which is the capacity limit for SDHC. SDXC introduces a few additional features, and removes the arbitrary 32GiB restriction on capacity, but SDHC devices are nevertheless forward-compatible with SDXC cards (and their increased capacity). The only snag is that the device probably doesn't support SDXC's required exFAT filesystem, so the card will need to be reformatted.
Gentoo may well be the last bastion of mandatory text editing. Hopefully they never aim for "elegant" package management, because the current way is great. And so help me, if I can update Qt painlessly, I'm switching to LFS.
It doesn't suck. How many other distros can that be said of?
Expecting the user to know what they're doing doesn't make it inconvenient. My experience with Slack has been that if you know what's going on, it's easier to manage than anything else out there.
GP's suggestion that OnLive was bound to fail because it made sacrifices in the name of convenience is laughably misinformed. Compressed digital music trumped the entrenched CD market in spite of crummy sound quality; consumers chose Netflix streaming over Blu-ray in spite of crummy video quality (and having to deal with Netflix, Inc.). Convenience CAN win if it's sold right, and OnLive would be positioned to fill the gap between $100 netbook with Facebook games and $2000 gaming PC with $60 games, without sacrificing the feel of "premium" gaming. They're struggling for the reasons you mentioned, not because gamers like the business model they're trapped in.

At least they're admitting up front that there won't be working Linux ports.
Probably not a good idea. From TFA: "it is illegal to tamper with a boarding card under U.S. law."

Sure I can let chance dictate my kids' personality, but I'm probably a sociopath and by my own logic, shouldn't be having kids anyway.
FTFY.
not having metal problems are objectively good don't you think?
There's a considerable segment of the autistic population that would beg to differ.
This.
