This seems like a common issue in Linux, particularly for people using it as a desktop environment. What would be the preferred method to limit access? Dedicated user/group with filesystem perms, cgroups, ACLs, chrooting, security modules (AppArmor/SELinux)?

I think you're exaggerating the severity of shortcomings Steam currently has. While you may have trouble finding specific games and disagree with their approach to bubbling suggestions to the top, I'm still overwhelmingly satisfied with what they do provide. -On-demand game -Support for a plethora of indie titles -Emphasis on multiplayer/friends and communities -Novel monetization approaches (DOTA) -Strong push for cross-platform support with Valve heading the charge -Investment in bridging the PC/console divide I understand where you're coming from but while you may have a strong aversion to the direction they're going with some of the console-related adjustments, I really don't see the extent of detractions from their core product you vehemently push.

So, would you say they have faith in it being the correct model? ;)

Settle down captain cynicism. Maybe we did have an era where games rested mostly on their reputation and that of the studio that produced them, but I think we've far from lost that. Sure the market may be flooded with the F2Ps for the masses but I think that's expected to come along with the the accessibility of digital distribution. I stepped away from PC gaming for about years, and came back feeling just as at home as I ever have. The difference nowadays is that those small indie games have earned an opportunity to become the behemoths that their predecessors were. The games I get drawn into now still include the platformers but now those platformers have to stand among the smaller titles that have earned their keep solely on enjoyment and playability. I still play games like Half-Life and Civilization, they just happened to be mixed into Minecraft, FTL, and Plants vs. Zombies - games that may have never seen the light of day if conceived 10 years ago.

I tend to apply this mentality to all 'breaking news'

If he gets us all thoroughly stoned, we may forget what we were up in arms about. That conniving bastard!

It's good to see stuff like this hit the front page. It helps space out the onslaught of disappointing stories slashdot breaks regarding the incompetence/malice of leadership in this country. Seeing a cruising ice comet hit the sun with a CME following is pretty damn cool too.

They kind of did. http://www.itworld.com/software/358908/install-netflix-ubuntu-1304 At least it works pretty well for me over here on mint.

But...but...we just want them to play with us.
