Ubuntu has a newer LTS release, 14.04, which uses glibc 2.19.
Unfortunately, the rest of them all use older GLIBC versions in their current stable, even the ones whose current stable was released in the middle of last year.
im sorry to break this to you pal, but half population of europe != half world population
He's referring to an event that happened in the Middle Ages where the world wasn't anywhere near connected as it is now.
If a fatal disease had an outbreak somewhere these days, chances are it would quickly spread to epidemic levels unless it is immediately quarantined.
And no, moving to Madagascar won't help.
It kind of floors me that they aren't doing some kind of check that the directory tree they are about to delete actually looks like a Steam install before deleting it. e.g. check that ClientRegistry.blob file or SteamApps directory exists under $STEAMHOME.
ClientRegistry.blob isn't used by Steam any more and thus won't exist if you've installed Steam in the past 9 months or so
Would the Steam directory even have a SteamApps directory if you're using Steam's library feature to install all games to a different path?
While we're at it, is it SteamApps, steamapps, or some other variation of capitalization? That kinda matters on Linux.
I think the problem is that it's written in
Steam isn't written in
As for the browser component, it uses Chromium Embedded Framework. However, I don't think it was ever upgraded to version 3.
PHP shot first!
How could he when everyone carries Walkie-talkies instead of guns?
What happens when you file a FOIA against the police/911 office that dispatched them?
The fact that Chromium refuses to just list the repo so I can download the source directly makes me suspicious.
What is depot_tools/gclient and why do I need it when the source is supposedly stored in Git?
Heck, when you think about it, WebKit has almost become the de-facto web renderer on the Internet, taking over from IE by being everywhere. How and when did Apple take over from Microsoft in that regard?
Webkit lost a lot of user share last year as Chrome switched over from Webkit to Blink and Android 4.4+ followed suit.
If anything, Blink is the current de facto web renderer with somewhere around 40-50% of the market.
I will never buy anything in the EU until they stop their 1 USD equals 1 EUR scam.
It's not a scam.
OK, lets take a specific example.
In the US, a new AAA game is generally $60 pre-tax... which is 48.6€ using current exchange rates.
With me so far? OK, so the US price is ready to list on Steam because US price listings don't include taxes. However, the EU version isn't, because EU requires that VAT be included in the price.
So... lets take Italy for example. VAT in Italy* is 22%. So... the same price that lists for $60 USD would list for... 59.292€. Suddenly the 1:1 ratio makes sense.
Now, here's the thing: VAT varies wildly across Europe... anywhere from 15% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary). From what I've heard, there are only two mainland Europe pricing regions on Steam. Which means the prices are going to be affected by the VAT rates of the other countries in said pricing region.
* Italy was chosen for two reasons: 1. Most countries are in the 20-25% range... 22% is about in the middle; and 2. I know someone who lives in Italy.
Right now, Steam has promotion where you get "tokens" (for lack of a better term) from game achievements and can use those to buy games. Those tokens have the same value in all regions, so if you buy a game with tokens, you can gift it to anyone else, regardless of any gifting restrictions on purchased games.
Steam gems are gotten from the turning various cards you get from playing various games on Steam (it's based on the game and the amount of time played as opposed to achievements.
Those tokens are actually an auction, so unless you're the highest bidder, you get nothing.
Incidentally, said auction ends later today, to be immediately followed with the Steam Winter/Summer sale.
(I'm too lazy to see if
Let's say the game costs 10 times less in Russia.
So if a game is $50 in the US, and it costs "10 times less" in Russia, does it mean that it's 10x$50=$500 less than the US price and that Valve will pay me $450 to take it off their hands?
Or did you mean "one tenth"?
"times less" moves the x10 to the other side of the equation.
Such as $50=10x$5
Which is the same as $50/10=$5
A big problem with PNGs is that PNG editors don't try to make the smallest possible files.... you need tools like pngcrush for that.
Well, I heard* that the name Go was decided upon when an executive at Google needed to think up a name and was looking around his office.
On his computer at the time was a Chrome browser with the Google homepage open, but a Solitaire window was open in front of it obscuring the right half the page.
Now, if the Solitaire window was on the other side, we might have the ogle programming language instead!
* and by "heard" I mean "just made up"
I am glad that Steam look at Twitch as a competitor, but making it so that their streaming is only accessible through the Steam client is well -- a terrible decision.
If you mean viewing a stream, apparently you only need Safari or Chrome to do it. I haven't actually tested that, though.
The Foundation "is", not are. It is one entity. You're not referring to all the people within the Foundation, you're referring to the Foundation itself. You even use the word "it", not them, to refer to the Wikimedia Foundation.
You use is when referring to a singular entity.
You use are when referring to more than one entity or a group, such as they.
From my observations, this is one of those points where UK and US English disagree.
Organizations are referred to as plural in UK English and singular in US English.
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
