"What exactly is proprietary about Linux? "
It will be Valve's version of linux. Can you get any more proprietary than a custom OS ? What CAN'T it run ?
I want the freedom to install anything I want. Not just what they sanction, not just what is 'valve OS' compatible.
Streaming games sounds like one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. Most peoples networks can barely stream music. Now I have to run two computers just to play a game ?
Sorry Valve, too little too late. I can buy a pocket sized pc that will play ALL your games RIGHT NOW. Plus anything else I want... itunes, Mame, Firefox, etc etc
I was looking forward to the Valve box, but all this talk of linux has put me off. The reason a wanted a valve box is to break free of the proprietary xbox sony console paradigm. A valve flavor of linux is more of the same.
Intels new NUC coming out in a month or two is an appleTV sized PC with an i5 proc and onboard intel graphics capable of running all valve's source games in HD. Yeah!!! No rebuying anything, it'll work on the network nice, great web access / music choices. This thing is gonna be awesome.

I respected Elon a lot more BEFORE I saw this video. Anyone who is involved in the CG industry would laugh at this setup. It's obviously made to either entertain Elon so he thinks his team is 'cutting edge', or it's to wow the world like his Hypertube crock. Either way, I respect him less after watching.
Any child with an ipad can rotate and scale 3d objects with their fingers. Try actually building something beyond a cookie dough figure in it.

Origins of life
PAH world hypothesis...PAHs, subjected to interstellar medium (ISM) conditions, are transformed, through hydrogenation, oxygenation and hydroxylation, to more complex organics - "a step along the path toward amino acids and nucleotides, the raw materials of proteins and DNA, respectively".
Yes. An obviously important milestone to get us beyond the failed experiments in test tubes here. Which also suggests the galaxy is teaming with life, which may also be less alien that we might expect, more akin to the similarity between plants and animals (plant drugs work on animals because we have common genetic heritage)
Agreed ! Life starting is such an astronomically unlikely event that probability is the only way to reason it out. To think that life started on Earth a few millions years after it was bombarded and had no atmosphere, whilst simultaneously we have been unable to recreate the process in a lab AND there has never been a second genesis, is ridiculous.
The only reasonable answer is that life started in astronomical time scales in astronomically large volumes where the probability was eventually matched.
My guess would be immense Nebula full of organic molecules. Comets pass though carrying molecules around the galaxy. One a reproducing molecule arises in the Nebula, the whole solar system sized cloud would be teaming with these molecules, and it would have billions of years to sit there until the event happened.
Wrong. Panspermia answers the question "If life started on Earth why haven't we been able to recreate it or why hasn't it happened many times". We haven't been able to recreate it because it takes an astronomical amount of coincidence, the kind of probabilities only offered by astronimical time and space (my guess would be organic molecules in an immense nebula cloud, passing comets etc.).
It also answers the question "if life is such an astronomically impossible event, how did it happen here?" It didn't happened here because it needed an astronomical amount of time and space / chemical resources. Thinking that it happened here on Earth within a few millions years after the heavy bombardment and before there was an atmosphere (= very unlikely and coincidental) is absurd.
Ask youself, if Earth is where life started, why hasn't it happened many times since ? Why is all life on Earth descendant from one cell ?
BUT they are NOT the same. Or even comparable. Fox is a wholly owned propaganda arm of the republican party. There is NO equivalence. Fox is not even remotely interested in FACTS. This argument is exactly like mistakenly assuming there is equivalence between republican positions and democrat. The republican party has no interest in TRUTH. The republican party is owned and run for the 1%. They exist only by coercing their below average IQ voters, consisting of ignorant religious and racists voters from the bible belt and other less developed states, to vote against their own self interests.
Can you really be that stupid?
Yes 5 million adapters will create tonnes of plastic and precious metal waste.
Apple are pure scum and far worse than Sony or Microsoft ever was
UK Nova was amazing. I fail to see how it effected anyone's commercial interests. None of its content was viewable or purchasable anywhere else.
FACT can go FUCK themselves.
It's obvious from their wikipedia page they are a bunch of jokers tying up the legal system with warrantless cases.
There are plenty more fish in the sea.
I have always harbored a suspicion that there is a correlation.
I took some anti-biotic for a tooth infection a few years ago.
Then around the same time my stomach started to feel bloated and I had to loosen my belt.
No change in habits whatsoever.
Then I got 'heart burn' ie. a stomach ulcer (it never got really bad, but a weird coincidence). Had to avoid coffee for months.
I believe antibiotics wipe out all the good flora and it is never replaced.
And on top of that, other bacteria will replace the good flora. That bacteria may be less or more efficient at absorbing fat, or could even be cancer causing.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has had similar experiences.

...plus Miller Urey never created anything close to a cell or self replicating molecule
...and FUCK YOU CHANNEL 4 for blocking the video around the world you BAGS OF SHIT.
A single cpu makes this consumer NOT PRO !!!!!
Turing committed suicide by a cyanide Apple, rumor has it that is where Apple logo came from...
With the discovery of 'Virtual Particles' there is actually somewhat of an argument for the Ether now....

So What ?!
The UK takes it's orders direct from the US, Israel and the banks.
Why should ministers need to know anything ?

Plus since Lulu Helix review is technology based, it makes this whole topic way more Slashdot relevant !
This already exists. It's called Lulu Helix review.

Or maybe they will add a whole army of teddy bears that will battle the evil Empire with gusto !
oh wait...
Excellent comment !
These idiots have no chance of discovering anything
So please report back after you have added some phosphorus to your primordial soup and you have multiple examples of original life.
Ah ahahahahaha !
Some of the dumbest crap I have heard in a LONG time.

How is that any different from saying "Earth did it". Stupid thinking akin to religion.
