what nonsense, even open source based "cloud" services have had their occassional failures. it's just a glitch, and gamers shouldn't care about the issues you raised, they're just games and not mission critical or human progress critical applications. Valve is a business, they will do what it takes to keep the revenue coming in.
politicians have agendas. the corrosive nature of ethanol's oxidizing products are well known (for tanks, pipelines, engine components), as well as its ozone problem.
"and no, I am not a tech luddite (I am a physicist)". hmm, for my physics degree I mostly used a pencil and paper, while other majors got to use the University mainframe and micros. then at Fermilab we had to take designs in that same pencil and paper format and put them into FEA for the requests for funding, because "they" wanted to see calculations that came out of a computer....
ethanol is a horrible fuel, less energy dense than gasoline, corrodes and dissolves parts, and is net energy loss. We need to stop this nonsense, our lawmakers are out of control and in the pockets of the wealthy.
I've been spinning a couple seagate 2TB drive for a year now, in between times my PC gets on after work and turned off every night. My son has a 1TB seagate, and he's a gamer. nice drives, those. you must be the unluckest bastard on the planet, don't walk under ladders and don't cross busy streets.
I did some "taping out" in the 70s, the black tape was for things on both sides of the PCB (e.g. holes and edge connectors), while blue and red tape were used for top and bottom traces.
and just think of the timescale after that for the shrinking.we're talking of timescale of Midway's wearing down which is couple tens of millions of years. the human race could go back to being like apes or some other kind of unintelligent animal in a tenth that time....
manufacturers do a burn-in before shipping, that gets most the early failures. of course, some will still win the lottery and get a crappy early-failure drive but has never happened to me.
"barely qualify". nonsense, the definition of a computer hasn't changed. Computers of 70 years ago are still computers. The four bit microprocessor Intel made that showed up in the first generation of electronic calculators is still a computer. In fact, the analog computer circuits of 80 years ago are still computers, taking information input, transforming it, and giving an information output.
already known that seeding ocean with iron will cause huge increase in plankton, which cuases huge increase in fish population. the plankton take carbon to the bottom of the sea in their shells when they die (as they always have). Carbon is thus removed from the atmosphere, and the ocean. problem solved. already tested on small scale and entirely natural
you don't have to buy Windows 8, you can still buy win 7 online. Microsoft sure made the major brick and mortar retailers pull it from the shelves quickly though
if it Works for Most(tm), then one must consider the possibility, however remote, that one may in fact be a dumb-ass who has no business using a GNU/Linux system, and should instead buy That Which Panders to Morons(tm)
no, "the camera in the sky: will find someone planting for hundreds or more people of people. it will not see a few plants for a personal stash, get real.
only two guys at work had it on tablets, but that's not how most people would want to use their desktop as they do email, word processing, spreadsheets. Touch is good for buying online from established account, for entertainment and news.
first the game companies would wait until production release, then see how many Steam users become Linux ones, and how well Valve can hold that market.......say in a year it would be obvious if the effort worth the expense
how do you mean, this is still "beta" just as the limited audience release was with beta version. now if they DON'T work out the bugs found and push it into production, then it would be rush-job. but so far not fair to accuse them of rush.

do some math, how many posters compared to units sold? 0.0001%?

reality. hydrocarbons have high energy density, while whatever alternative you are imagining we should use does not.

registration is bad, it makes registration lists. thanks from all us gun owners for proving our point
except Intel also will be releasing 14nm in 2013. sorry ARM, you lose.

nuclear weapons exist. you might make it to your shelter.

my hat off to them: I've managed to teach my sack of spuds to use open access wifi, but wpa2 is just too hard...
