  • That's the historical definition of the word, but colloquially it just means a large part.

    It's like how historically retro meant something new inspired by something or a style from the past, but now people are using it as a substitute for "classic" (in particular with respect to video games). I dislike that too, but I'm not the arbiter of language. Not yet anyway, but soon. Soon...

  • It makes me happy to read this same basic message repeatedly. I've been a Linux enthusiast since the late 90s, but back then it definitely felt like it was never going to be a mainstream replacement for Windows due in large part to gaming.

    I know Valve isn't getting nothing out of their investment, but all the same I'm so appreciative that they didn't abandon their Linux efforts after Steam Machines didn't catch on.

  • Consider this: it costs more to keep an inmate on death row and execute them than it does to imprison them for life.

    If what you like about the death penalty is the punishment aspect, it's a greater punishment to hold someone in jail for life.

    AND if we discover - as does happen a lot - that person is actually innocent, they can be released and still have some sort of life outside of prison. That's not a great fate, but I would argue it's much better than depriving them of their life only to find out later they were innocent.

    The death penalty just doesn't make much sense.

  • A VM would normally work if USB passthrough is properly configured. That said, on operations just like that, I normally just boot to my small Windows partition that I keep around for just such an occasion.
