And what moron refers to Taiwan with China. Everyone will think of mainland China....

They have physical access to the phone... They can just dump the harddisk.

This story shows up every couple of months...

Meh, who cares. But I do hope you are wearing your tinfoil hat.

Finally an article about linux on the desktop.

I seriously doubt that Go is much of a challenge for a computer. A Go software that has been in development as long as fritz for example would probably also destroy any human opponent.

Am I the only one who doesn't think of pictures when someone says they are having a look at the server? I mean he literally just took pictures of the hardware?!

If that really were the case that thing would crash and burn. Nothing is built so it has to rely on several hunderds of people making no mistake. Because people make tons of mistakes all the time.

They burn through a shitton of oil.

Probably going to be done the same way every console does it. Nothing really for Valve to think about.

The orange box was the best deal ever, and then four years later the game is free? Noone is getting pissed at that. The also gave away Portal for free.

Did you even bother reading the article? "But by far the biggest thing we did to change this perception was to make all the items that change the game free. You can get them from item drops, or from the crafting system. It might be a little easier to buy them in the store, but you can get them without paying"

Personally I always played out fights with legos. Like some guys invading a fortress or pirates attacking a city I built. But since it's a MMORPG there will probably also be non-fighting stuff to do.

I thought every Linux user knew that bleeding edge != stability.

I had a few mainboards with VIA-Chips, but it just never worked that well. Especially their drivers are horrible. Looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't bought anything from VIA in a long time.
