If Steam can be to Linux what Boxer and WineBottler are for OSX, he's probably on to something. Hell, this just might enable a good portion of what Steam considers "PC Only" to be installed/run on OSX as well as the many variations of Linux. BTW, the set of people actually excited about Win 8...

Short answers: No, and, No. There are no long answers.

T-300 years until it merges with an alien probe, kills a Klingon that looks an awful lot like Christopher Lloyd, and eats a descendant of Stephen Collins, along with some weird bald chick. T-304 years until "KHAAAAAAAAAAN!" I know which one _I'M_ waiting for...

Glad I was wrong about your friends KS! ;) I'm sure your POV has some validity in that I'm sure that there are projects on KS that probably should be seeking more traditional capital sources. It is ever the case that established dinosaurs get clumsy when using mammalian tech innovations. And...

It's not a zero-sum game. Besides Kickstarter isn't about "the little guy". It's about letting your friends, family and the general public participate in your project with clear terms and rewards. That Stephenson want's to SHARE his project shouldn't be limited by already being famous. Maybe...

I think he's only using Gabe for the in-joke factor. As to why kickstarter at all, why doesn't cloud-funding rise to your definition of "legitimate"? Should all funding be in private smoke-filled rooms? What about letting more than just Wall Street insiders have a chance? I'm pretty sure...

This sounds pretty much like the game he wrote about in Snow Crash. Just because there isn't full-immersion (yet) doesn't mean it won't scale.

Dude knows exactly jack and shit about laws. Both his run-ins prove that he's just a punk who thinks attitude counts as slack. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving douchebag.

But what if you're a vocalist trained to listen to your voice through monitors, with a 200 ms delay effect for "space"? See, I KNEW that garage band experience would pay off someday.

Yeah, I have. And I took Oregon bud with me. The residents thanked me. Your point?

"Acapulco Gold" is a (largely outdated) slang term for high quality (also outdated) sensimilla marijuana. It's never "cut", since you don't cut weed, unless you're an asshole. It's also never transported overseas in condoms, seeing as a condom even stuffed full of the highest quality and price...

My exact experience, for all the same reasons. I would use the "My Year Of Flops" rating of "fiasco".

The issue with PS2 DVD playback was that the format changed and you needed to update firmware to ensure largest coverage of format differences. This was before the consoles were hooked to vendor networks, so you had to buy the update with a DVD remote. This led to the impression that the PS2...

I forgot that sometimes you have to actually remove the disc from the system and reinsert it to get the full update check. 1.03 is downloading as I type this, so PSN def has it NOW, and it seems likely they had it since Thursday.. It's there now. Maybe Greg will update the article. Maybe...

I have version 1.2 on PS3, and it's not updating to 1.3. I am definitely connected to the network. Are you sure you got 1.3? My guess is that 1.3, if it's actually not yet available, will appear on Tuesday, which is the traditional PSN release day. (EDIT: Version of Skyrim update file in...
