Looks like Valve is definitely going towards multi-platform support. While the Linux version doesn't do anything as of yet, one commenter got the OS X version running after somebody pointed out that both http://store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_client_osx and http://store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_client_lin... are valid URLs. Both clients download updates, and the OS X version pops up the new, unreleased Steam application and everything. However, it appears to be in closed beta, since he was kicked off after trying to log in (see http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/butl8/steam_for_linux...)

I've been curious about the practical applications of LISP as well. Pure functional programming, as I understand it, means no side effects. The issue with this is that procedural & OO programming lives off of side effects: screen displays, file writes, etc. How would you build a GUI application in something that shouldn't give you anything but an answer? I'm aware that it is done, of course (web servers, games, etc), but how you would do something like that escapes me.

I didn't have any of those problems, actually. The video played fine and I had controls the whole way through. FF 3.6 on an outdated Ubuntu distro here, which I would have expected to have its share of problems if normal systems did.

Uniform already handles this theme. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and there are three pre-made Uniform themes listed: "Uniform Default," "Aristo," and "Agent."

I used it quite successfully for Nanowrimo. The "Py" is probably because it's written in Python.

Jailbreaking allows the installation of cracked apps, which basically makes the App Store DRM a non-issue.

I'm glad this article actually presents both sides. The latter paragraphs talk about another study in which THC did nothing to cell growth, and makes it pretty clear that the entire affair's still really uncertain. I don't think this shows up in many of the pro-marijuana (pseudo-)scientific articles on the web.

Fixed in 1.4.2... Thanks for pointing that out!

Being a hockey player, I definitely want to see what this would/does look like.

...The way the client talks to other clients has had to be completely re-built. As a side effect, because the new protocol so different, it is practically invisible to some of the nasty traffic shaping techniques that some ISPs have been using.

They're not even going to pretend other client will be able to support it in a timely fashion. Backwards compatibility is out the window if they really did implement everything documented in the article.

This seems like it could go places, but I can't seem to grab a copy of the file. The server keeps running it!

As is the wiki for Shoes (http://wiki.github.com/why/shoes)... I don't know if they were forgotten, or this was on purpose to help people who were going to keep the projects alive.

Depends on how much. A lot of it produces a minor buzz. A bit (like one cigarette) relaxes you, calms your nerves. This effect is still present at a higher dose, but generally overshadowed.

I did that a few months ago, actually. The only crash I had was because I forgot to update my driver for the new video card I got. Since then, it's been as stable as my pre-Compiz system.
