BSD isn’t Linux.

I had a work machine a decade ago that both the Start menu and Outlook were broken on until I turned off indexing.

I keep seeing people say this. I haven’t seen any lag in the start menu. What are you running on? A 5400 rpm drive?

The level editor was used out of convenience. There are other level formats they could have used instead.

Portal is a great example of Valve supporting education, not the mod scene.

Sort of. Team Fortress was a Quake mod. Valve hired the team to port it to Half Life.

No it wasn’t. Narbacular Drop used the same level editor, but only certain level features work because the actual game is an entirely different custom engine. Tag, the game that Portal 2’s gels come from, was also a custom engine.

Both games were senior projects at a game design school near Valve, which is how they found them.

It’s cooler than the headline implies. It’s not just hints at future support. It appears that it is a 360 emulator running the emulator that they built to run Xbox games on the 360.

Windows desktops are targeted because any place you have a user, you have a vulnerability. The vast majority of Linux installs are servers with extremely limited user activity, which narrows the attack vectors significantly.
