In 50 years the house is paid for, college loans long gone, multiple cars are owned outright. Not a huge challenge living off that kind of money in that case.
What you describe is exactly what game cabinets do. They have some ram powered by a battery that holds the decryption keys. When the batter dies the keys are lost and the cabinet is garbage.
Banning plastic bags may not fix the budget issue, but it can be a help if it means less staff and cleaning of public parks. Here they have to remove plastic bags from trees pretty regularly.

Steam seems to work fine via wine. That is how I currently use it.
I don't pirate software so I do not know what my ISP does in that regard.
You may think of my comments as a "works for me". Nothing more.
Why you would want the non-linux users opinion on linux I don't know. I would think someone who actually uses it probably knows more about the topic.
I think he meant AMD64, which is what x86-64 is more properly called.
64 bit opertons were available in 2003. Intel back then was still touting Itanic.
RPM is not one of the better package managers. Yum uses RPM, but even that sucks.
Drivers are easy, its a checkbox in Ubuntu.
You are blaming an OS for a company shutting down? Is it Microsofts fault when a windows software company dies?
I buy the games on disk and just enter the codes in steam. If they ever screw with me I can download a cracked executable.
Assuming you install the 32bit libs, seems like it should not be any issue to run 32bit steam on a 64bit OS.
Shut up, shut up, shut up.
You might end this right here and now if Gabe sees that post.
12.10 with a GTX460.
Checked the box for the updated versions of the driver and that was it.
TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE!!!!
Valve please be reading this.
Nvidia needs to get their shit together and at least put some of the driver in the mainline kernel.
At least all the Source games should run fine on the intel driver.
You could not be more wrong.
Ubuntu will do it all with shiny pictures for you.
That is a pretty good imagination you have.
Every linux user I know is pretty happy about this.
How exactly does that work assuming you aren't silly enough to run Steam as root?
As long as it is not the third anything we will be ok. Since we all know valve can't count to three.
Nothing just like the last decade.
For many people the YOTLD was a long time ago.
I just hope I got selected for this beta.
emacs is one thing, but nano?
Nano is for children.
Then you don't need $50k for decades, your early death will allow you to spend more of that money each year.
GP said he spent more than that on food.
Where do you live that $50k would not buy food for a family of 4 for a year?
$50k give you ~$140/day to spend on food. What are you eating?
Why is it sad that you might have to pay for the civilization you enjoy?
We all know no one could ever live on 37k a year.

The slashdot effect is not what it once was. Also this place is full of MS and Apple folks these days. They would never know what to do with vim.

This is a problem people who restore game cabinets solve day in and day out. Excuse me if I don't believe it will protect us.
