Way to go dehumanising people who donâ(TM)t think like you.

Is it not safe to assume that Valve know the ins and outs of their own games?

Is it related to this?

Happy? I don't think we should be praising Google for doing what they should be doing.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a really fucking bad idea?!

I recently switched to Xfce 4.8, and I find it being a good GNOME 2.x replacement (if you change the very odd panel layout to something more gnome-like). If you cherry-pick some of the (better?) GNOME applications to go along with you for the update, it'll make the transition even easier (like gedit, gnome-screensaver and possibly nautilus).

First of all: it was 0.002 amps, not 0.002 watt.

Second: You cannot compare current (amps) to power (watt) like it was done in the summary. Power is the product of current and voltage (P=U*I, or P=V*I if you're American). 2 mA can in fact be 100% of the amount drawn by a 100W light bulb if the voltage across the light bulb is 50kV (50000*0.002 = 100) (Assuming the bulb was built for 50kV, but that is a whole different story)

Sounds stupid to me. A company of Valve's wealth and size could attract and support enough talent for doing both game dev and steam dev, surely?

Bit like not wearing a watch - you feel somewhat naked?

meh.

Stop blaming facebook!

They're merely capitalising on the realities of the relationships that we give them. Blaming them each and every time a new feature is added that is simple common sense and intelligent programming/design/utilisation of the information we permit they use is childish; if we didn't use these tools then they wouldn't feel obliged to innovate and refresh their featureset.

This wouldn't happen to be the MMO wherein there is a lot of Entropy, if you know what I mean?

17% of them being unable to find a job within six months of graduation

So 83% are finding jobs within 6 months? That sounds suprisingly good if you ask me...Better than I would expect.

I hate statistics, they're so over and incorrectly used.

Why do they have to have or at least exercise this feature of the ToS?

Why couldn't they just get a list of those who have it installed (surely they know that?) and then email them? Beats this draconian/big brother approach in my opinion...

Not only do I think this is a little sick on the part of the blackhats, but it does pose some other concerns.

Firstly, are the media going to pick up on this and if they do, will they spin it as an opportunity to bad-mouth the Web and its communities, as well as encourage talk of "tougher rules" and the like.

Since this is a JS vulnerability, I'd certainly like to see more discussion and thought around how seriously we take JS integration on the web and how we approach it as a core target for evil-doers to exploit. Could more be done?

Lastly, how are the web search engines going to react? Could more things like this call for censorship of Google, Yahoo etc; or at least more claims for 'responsibility of the search engines'?

A Microsoft representative declined to say which of its products are covered by the deal."

Which is like doing the following:
"Hey dude, I did something really cool!"
"Oh yeah, what's that?"
"Not telling! Tee hee!"
