Nothing of what you mention has ever been in Chromium.

I still don't understand how that behavior is legal. Sneaking extra laws inside things into irrelevant laws should not be possible. This package deal all-or-nothing bunk needs to be rid of.

Your post makes no sense. Care to enlighten us how Valve is "just like the old boss"?

You're completely free to create and run any number of free and open source games on SteamOS, none of which need to come from Steam itself, none of which need to be vetted by Valve. It's an open platform, completely free to use and modify. How is that even remotely similar to an Xbox or Microsoft?

I think you're spouting nonsense FUD.

The whole "Steam Machine" thing is designed to penetrate the living room. It's basically just a PC masquerading as a console. There's a good chance you're probably not their target market if that is meaningless to you.

Look at the post by pjrc above your original one, smartass. Most of what you've said is outright wrong, which implies you didn't even look at the datasheet before going off on your own little rant about what it does or doesn't support.

Not even close, man. The concept of the phrase "mini computer" has far more in common now with small form factor computers than that old device from the 60s with a similar name.

I don't think anyone could reasonably confuse the two and assume there is a relation.

No, not really. Comparing iOS and Android directly on performance is silly. They're two totally different ecosystems and hard performance numbers don't change much. That's like a typical user picking a Mac or Windows PC because one performs 5% better at random tasks, ignoring the fact that the offerings between each machine is radically different and pure performance numbers are only a tiny part of the whole picture.

Apple has no reason to cheat because they have no competition that merits the risk of cheating on. It might have been a different story had iOS hardware been available from multiple vendors.

Injustice spotted.

Yesterday, in fact.

I understand your rationale, but I think the Half-Life franchise has managed to maintain a level of interest on par or greater than franchises like Duke Nukem. Sure there are many who moved on, but it has been shown time and time again that there is still a very large following for the franchise to resume. It might not be all the same individuals from back in the day but it will definitely thrive if and when it comes out.

Somehow, I doubt that.

Halloween must have sucked for you when you were a kid.

The robotic version was made for nuclear decommission. There is no operator in the vicinity in that situation. The video here is just demonstrating the same laser beam technology with a mounted pistol grip for manual use.

Do you frequently converse with machine translators that elaborate the meaning of their mistranslations? Would be interested in knowing which one is capable of that. See when I use them it's what-you-see-is-what-you-get and I have to pick at the original source text with a dictionary to learn monster actually means tiger. That they can nonchalantly narrow the meaning down for you in a Star Trek-esque computer conversation is leaps and bounds ahead of what I'm used to!

Sarcasm aside for a moment, you're actually complaining that machine translators may eventually get so convincing that you might not even notice the errors anymore? Really? Sign me up for that scenario. Nothing should replace native translators anyway for precision work.

Jeeze, did you even read the article you linked when pointing out heroin as the big bad or did you just look for the first article that had a bar graph with heroin seemingly on the top? It basically contradicts your entire attitude about heroin, and reaffirms the thought process of the person you're quoting, even if it was an exaggeration.

Here, let me quote something from your own link:

The harms from heroin don't generally come from heroin itself, but from the unsafe creation and use pervasive of today's users as a result of being illegal.
