You are comparing products aimed at two entirely different markets; may as well be saying that 'Lexus has every right to copyright a yellow car because KIA makes such an inferior car.' .

Just because a product is distributed with different intent and audience does not mean it does not deserve to exist.

Excuse me while I enjoy this hot pocket, I find them quite alright, thank you.

Whoa buddy! Put down the gun...

On a serious note... is this trolling or are people seriously complaining about camel-case vs snake-case?

I would assume it would be like any other credit card transaction: up to the merchant to verify the account holder with an ID.

The fraud you're speaking of is not limited to this technology; anyone could find and use a credit card they found on the ground if the merchant did not verify it.

Flags for what type of comments? Did the comment provide constructive feedback? Or did it simply state an opinion with no support to fuel the discussion?

It's -ethical- to flag comments that are false, off-topic, or do not contribute to the discussion; not ones of differing opinion.

Exactly. And why not put the players and developers on the same platform? It's a match made in heaven!

Moving toward an upstreaming, open-source, GNU/Linux platform means that not only do they have more fine-tuned control of everything, but also that there are _many_ more sets of eyes and hands to find/fix problems and to help contribute to the gaming and Linux ecosystem as a whole.

After seeing nVidia's CEO making his keynote for a new line of video cards on a Ubuntu powered laptop[1], I have no doubt that there are many companies other than Valve that see the great potential in this.

Yes, but to the proper people in a proper manner.

Otherwise you may as well just take a megaphone to null.

Well clearly bringing in 'the fam' as opposed to ' the wife' would be whole other story.

Buy I would think a company such as Microsoft could figure out basic common courtesy for guests that they invited.
