Gabe Newel has stated that if we reach the heath death of the universe, you can get a new account with all your games on the next one. You just have to provide proof that you came from this universe.
Of course you have to move to a universe where steam exists, but I think you'll find valve is operating on most of them.
It's just a code name. Is something like windows longhorn that much better?
Also, no enterprise distro is going to announce they are using suicidal squirrel, so I doubt the boss will see it.
It's a different product, but at least it seems to indicate they do have some linux support. Their press release doesn't seem to indicate any OS (google maps, social networking, display photos, all of which can be done in any OS.) though, so I guess you'll have to check back later.
Also, a search around the internet gets you some news that say it can work with e-ink and oled, and since most (all?) of the e-book readers run linux, if they where thinking about that market, they can probably make it work with it. If those news are correct of course, as I couldn't find anything about e-ink in their press release.
You know, not everyone from your generation did that. Just because this particular kid doesn't do that kind of stuff, it doesn't mean kids these days are not interested.
No, but I want to use software named after a Brazilian musical genre and dance. Seriously, this is 2009. You're a couple days away from formally confirming a half-black man as President of the United States. Expand your cultural views a little.
No, they don't. Only a handful of games allow you to give duplicate games as a gift, and even then only through special circumstances, as detailed here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4502-TPJL-2656

Ok, I confess I only used vs up to version 2005, but that is mainly because I can only use it for MS programming.
But if I could choose, I'd still choose eclipse over VS. Mylyn is great (if you use one of the supported connectors), and it really does help once you get used to it (which doesn't take very long).
Better integration with SVN and most other vcs's. Great diff tool too.
Also, source code view expanding when double clicking the tab.
Debugging support for PHP, c/c++, python, java, etc.
And last, VS integration with tools that are not MS sucks.
All good points, except they are not. Do you really think we invented vegetarianism between 50 and 100 years ago? Do some research. There were Greeks practising it because of the same reasons we do today. Lots of societies practised vegetarianism, mainly for religion reasons yes (Hey, you don't want to eat your reincarnated grandpa, do you?), but it's still because of the idea other animals deserve respect too.
Just as disclaimer, I'm not vegetarian... Now excuse me while I go eat my stake for dinner.
DESCRIPTION
dog writes the contents of each given file, URL, or the standard input if none are given or when a
file named '-' is given, to the standard output. It currently supports the file, http, and raw URL
types. It is designed as a compatible, but enhanced, replacement of cat(1).
<snip...>
But cat just maintains itself, while dog needs your attention every single minute.
On the other hand... Come on, look at them. "Company" releases code to Drivers, "Browser" Gets Thinner and Standards Based, Patents: how do we keep software free?, Average Joe User still the target, etc. It could be the front page of slashdot today. Slashdot is just a never-ending oscillatory universe.
Except for the "Petition for ATI TV Tuner Specifications". We know who won that war (Or did we? are the specs for TV Tuners included in the big AMD/ATI spec release?)
Theres a cool little story about these same questions here, for anyone that wants to read it: http://www.365tomorrows.com/06/23/37-hands/
Just a sneak peak:
"He couldn't believe this debate was still going on. For years they had assumed that the Manhattan Inflation Trial in 4838 had put the lid on the silly notion that the universe contained billions of galaxies. Billions! Zed looked out the window at the smooth black plane of the night sky. One-two-three-four-five-six. Six galaxies. There they were. It was so basic, so obvious. Any kid with a neutron telescope could make the observation for themselves!"
"First off, the GIMP toolkit looks like crap. (That's a fact, not an opinion.)"
No... That's an opinion, not a fact. don't confuse the two. If it's something you think, it's an opinion, if it's something everyone thinks then you can call it a fact.

http://www.displax.com/en/products/families/overlay.html has linux in text, so it appears their search sucks.

Endless? No, you can only make 42 jokes.
... I get all of them in physical media. (http://steamunpowered.eu/ for the details)
OK, I've bought a few from GOG, but they still do it right.
I think it's freaking ridiculous that I can go to an on-line shop and get a game delivered to my door, for half the price I can get it from Steam.
Digital media. It's much cheaper, but we get to keep the profits, pass none of the savings to the customer, and you pay more for the "convenience".
No, but I want to use software named after a Brazilian musical genre and dance. Seriously, this is 2009. You're a couple days away from formally confirming a half-black man as President of the United States. Expand your cultural views a little.

Can I be the one?

So, when was the last time you used eclipse?
$ killall firefox works too.

$ man dog

dog - better than cat

dog writes the contents of each given file, URL, or the standard input if none are given or when a file named '-' is given, to the standard output. It currently supports the file, http, and raw URL types. It is designed as a compatible, but enhanced, replacement of cat(1).

What? Are you crazy? I love tomboy, and would miss it immensely.

So, you are saying we should research before saying these things. Like reading how the other planets on the solar system are not warming because of the sun? http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/04/29/is-g lobal-warming-solar-induced/ (more links inside)

sure: http://mercury.to/ supports almost everything... It is java though, so it can get a little slow.
