... a distro that is stripped of all non-Steam related apps and boots directly into the Steam 10' interface
Simpler: just make an init runlevel dedicated to gaming. This reminds me the DOS boot disk I had in the 90's to have the perfect AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS (thanks to menus in MS-DOS 6) for each game.
InfoMagic -> Debian (but never successfully configured the X server) -> Mandrake -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu But I've always been dual Windows(MS-DOS)/Linux, being mostly Linux only since Ubuntu.
Also, some live distros, either on hardware or in VMs : BlueOS (Linux on a floppy ; not sure of the name), Knoppix, LNX-BBC (buisness-card sized CD distro), DamnSmallLinux...
Who said that the QR code will encode an URL? This is not written in the engadget article, and that's the main erroneous assumption of the Slasdot poster (planetzuda).
If you need MediaWiki to manage the documentation about your filesystem structure, you really have a problem. TiddlyWiki should be more than sufficient for that task.
When I write quick scripts and prototypes I want things to work, and not discover at runtime that a typo in a variable name breaks. That's why I love "perl -c" combined with "use strict" and have abandonned Python a long time ago.
IMO, Perl 6 being finished probably would kill the language.
It won't. Perl 6 is a much more ambitious programming language, and as such will require more ressources (CPU, memory). Perl 6 is clearly directed to general programming while Perl 5 has always been useful as both a generic programming language and as a glueing tool for sysadmin tasks. The '-e' of Perl 6 will probably stay so slow that it will not be as useful as Perl 5 as a simple tool for small tasks.
Seriously. The cheques and mail are dead technology. I've been freelancing from home for x years, making good money, and have not had to deal with a single cheque in the entire time. Get paid with a wire transfer. Cheques and mail are for chumps.

Do you have an advice for ink?

With those alternative firmware you can boost the emitting power.
Also many bugs have been fixed thanks to a more recent kernel.
So yes, flash it!
(I personally use OpenWRT and its Lucy configuration GUI is a pleasure to use)

Pugs, an early attempt of implementation of Perl 6, was full circle: going towards 2xPi.

Third, one can have comments for adding clickable links

seriously guys, there should be a policy that any posted web link should have a clickable link
And we've not yet met!

Anyway, the most interesting part is not the article itself, but the comments of many Microsofties.
This is exactly the case where smartness of those pointers shines.
Android 4 (for example on Galaxy Nexus) has encryption built-in.

And you? Are you a Google fanboy because your homepage is hosted at Blogger?

I like that one!
Threads blocked on I/O becomes an irrelevant problem if you use async I/O. You can then scale well without even using threads.
Does an ICANN policy exists for filtering top level domains requests?

Thanks for sharing your useless knowledge.
I have 1Gb of RAM on my netbook. Who needs virtual desktops?
What you suggests is that X is the true philosophy of Unix while the OS X GUI is not.
Do not counfoud X with Unix. They are two different things.
And how do you reverse the process?
We don't need SIM smaller than what our fingers can handle.
