They must've done that after I replaced the only Dell I ever bought.
In my case I had a power supply go bad. A replacement from Dell was 2x as expensive as a top tier off the shelf replacement. Everything was fine when I did the plug in but the mounting holes didn't line up and I had to mangle the case to make it fit.
I decided then that I'd just build my own and I have ever since.
I think Valve's target audience are the console gamers that can't be bothered to build a gaming rig. I know quite a few of them from work. They're intimidated with using a keyboard and mouse for gaming.
I'm not really interested with trying to play 99% of my library on the "big screen". There's really no benefit to bringing the remaining 1% to the TV as they play just fine with what I already have.
I don't think anyone will really feel the effects of a few less underspec'd machines being on the market. Anyone who could have bought an Acer can still get their underspec'd machine from HP, Lenovo, or any other number of manufacturers.
Your "secure browser" can be compromised by the Operating System. The Operating System can be compromised by the hardware.
The safest way to do your computing is to make all your own chips, assemble it yourself, and write your own OS. Even then you're subject to Man-in-the-Middle attacks, so you're going to have to go lay all your own fiber and do it all over again for those on the other side.
'situational relevance' sounds like the 'kardashian adult' version of a child screaming "but we're not playing by those rules now!" The fact is that men are hardwired to be attracted to attractive women regardless of the situation. It's about time that feminists accept men for who they are as they demand for women.
Some of this seems to be happening naturally, at least where I work. It's not uncommon for some cross training to go on as time permits.
I don't know how much a regular IT course delves into control systems and associated problems, but the control systems training that I've attended had standard blurbs of basic security practices.
I do process control. It's not manufacturing, but that part is irrelevant anyways. The issue at hand is that process control has shifted to control systems that are networked. There are options that don't use ethernet/ethernetIP, but they're increasingly going the way of the Dodo.
We're in a strange time when control systems are increasingly being networked, and the guys that used to do control/automation (and used to do it with relay/hydraulic/pneumatic) don't have the necessary training to integrate the systems correctly. Most IT people don't understand how control systems work and the implications of changing network configurations.
The way forward is to merge IT and process control. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
This would have been much cooler if they'd have VESA mounted the PI to the back of a slightly larger monitor and used their engineering skills to make a power supply and then hot glued that to the back of the monitor. Opposite the power brick they could have put some velcro and attached a multimedia keyboard/mouse combo controller.
I had to replace the contactor in my air conditioner. The little bastards turned it into an ant crematorium. I noticed the problem when the air conditioner was humming very loudly when it was supposed to be off.
Lucky for me, I found a replacement that is completely enclosed, instead of the partially open design that the original was.
What you suggest is already available via add-in password hashers on the users end. Passwords are automatically generated and salted with the URL. You can "bump" a password to change the salt. The main problems I've come across are:
1) The algorithm differs by browser, even those that say they are compatible.
2) Some password entry points don't have a hasher function built in, requiring me to either write down the password or switch to the browser to get it.
All of my password hashing efforts are moot if the server end loses their password database, though I'll only have that one password compromised.
Even with these hurdles, it's worth using the hasher.
Another way to look at their results is that there needs to be an improvement in the psychological treatment of atheists because there may be some bias in the treatment that tends to push people to appeal to the spiritual. Maybe a bit like AA.
There is a distinct lack of research in the area of atheist vs theist rates of psychological problems. Of the available research, here is one such study that suggests that atheists are less likely to suffer from depression: http://www.secularhumanism.org/library/fi/buggle_20_4.html
I haven't done the digging yet but the submitted article smells like the Templeton Foundation may have had an influence.
The original knowledge base article which is linked to the fix contains the kernel mode drivers. It makes sense in the context of the linked articles, so the fault with the confusion lies with threatpost.com for not providing all the relevant information.
This is exactly my position on the subject. Unfortunately, people put far too much faith in their own abilities right up to the point of injuring themselves or others.

Apparently, innovation recommends I specifically use Google Chrome to play the game but offers to let me attempt to try it in other browsers.
Those numbers are nice and all but I just ran a tool that checks whether or not my browsers are Internet Explorer.
The only browser that passed the Internet Explorer test was Internet Explorer 10.
I also tested Pale Moon and Comodo Dragon and they both got 0% on the "Is my browser Internet Explorer" test.

This 'disaster' is much worse than the time my kids gave me a rotavirus and I had trouble sleeping for fear I might wake up without bowel control.
There were dozens of reports! DOZENS!

I'm pretty sure you just incrementally changed this quote from 2008.

It's all the Metallic Oxide Salts!. They're what make rainbows possible.

This is off topic ,but...
What if they're gay?

Portable indeed.
We should try and stamp out this scourge on productivity everywhere!

8.1 will be free to all current Win8 owners. So, yes?
My kids are too young to play the Wii-U and they can barely play anything but Mario Kart. I hope the big N can hang on for a few more years.

Well fuck me. I hate replying to myself bit I didn't expect it to be so easy to track down.

Is this handle perhaps Adam Orth in disguise?
Only 27% of the USA has access to >256kbps . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_broadband_Internet_users
How do you propose we move 73% of the population?
There may be an easier way.....perhaps we could build out the infrastructure?
The original knowledge base article which is linked to the fix contains the kernel mode drivers. It makes sense in the context of the linked articles, so the fault with the confusion lies with threatpost.com for not providing all the relevant information.
This link is the knowledge base article in question:

The kernel mode drivers are: ntfs.sys and win32k.sys.
I guess that's what happens when you use a summary of a bugfix to write an article.
