Yes, we are now reasonably certain that Steam for Linux will not be released in late 2008, but we remain prepared to be surprised by upcoming news.

While it is possible to run the disk off the USB connection for both power and data, with decent USB ports and a bit of luck, you absolutely DO need to use the included USB-to-tiny-DC-power-jack...

Why would you want to read it yesterday? The giveaway was "Lame Duck" because it was George W Bushes last year in office. That's not now.

I actually renewed my subscriptions yesterday, for an...

Why not. I'm in for one. Email on the way.

I can officially confirm the confirmation that nothing was confirmed. We hope for further confirmation, perhaps even affirmation, but that's unconfirmed at this time.

Confirmed that there's no 2008 release, anyways.

Because not all of us have time to spend 2-3 hours every day troubleshooting our overlays and trying to find out why the latest big update just won't compile.

If you want to discuss this, cool,...

I initially started out with the new SuSE 6.0. I ran with them up through SuSE 6.4, then jumped around for a while. Ran Debian for a year or three, then Gentoo, and I've recently dumped Gentoo for...

So in summary, it's a nice filesystem, 'butterface'!

That assumes we still want it. I know I no longer do.

WTF is he supposed to be apologizing for? What has LGP done to you, that they should apologize? The only arrogance I've seen here hasn't been Svartalf's. He's been all sorts of helpful and pleasant,...

I'm compelled to draw parallels between Svartalf's logic and the current US bailout frenzy. Sure, if we make a big stink (give no bailouts) we may miss out on future Linux titles that may or may not...

Well, with the last wave or two of AAA titles, you don't get that option no matter what. All the latest SecuROM require an internet connection just to install, and require it at every startup to...

Thus his qualifier 'if it happens'.

We all know that, thanks. Postal 3 is using BOTH Steam and Source.

Care to correct anything else we already have right?

I may not understand a lot more than anyone else here, but it's my understanding that the docs are less of a problem than the design. You can go through and censor out the actual sensitive IP pretty...

And then there are those of us who were doubly stupid and bought UT3 on Steam. Both of those were expected to be Linux native by now, at various points. :O

I don't even have to go read that, I can sum it up much more succinctly:

MPEG4 High Profile @ Level 4.1 for HD
MPEG4 High Profile @ Level 3.1 for SD

All lower levels accelerable as well.

The problem is that it's 'behind closed doors crap' or nothing. AMD isn't going to just post everything and trust that everyone will let them slowly whittle it down to the stuff that can be...

We're perfectly in sync on this, then.

I can wait 2-3 years more to see any results, that's not a problem. It's good to see you making pushes in the right directions, ensuring future F/OSS support...
