Did you mean: 

Please let us disable or dismiss "Your computer doesn't meet Rift's recommended specifications"

Yes I get it, my i7 3770 is like 1 percent worse than the recommended i5 but that doesn't mean it's not VR ready.  It's not like i'm running an Intel Pentium 4.

Please, this message is very annoying and ruins the complete look and feel of Oculus Home for me and others.

Even people on Reddit are starting to complain about it and it will only get worse once more people receive their Rifts and start to download the software https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4d6gt1/stop_telling_me_im_unworthy/

I understand that you guys want people to be aware of how their VR experience could be poor if they aren't using at least the minimum recommended specs and that's why i'm not advocating to remove the message entirely, but to at least let the user dismiss or hide it once they've acknowledged it.

I know it's not one of those ground breaking bugs high on your radar but it would be nice to know at least that it's on the "to do" list of thing to address.

Thanks!

I suspect it's something the Facebook lawyers won't let them remove, in case people complain about getting sick on a low-end system.

That makes sense but isn't that something they can just include in the EULA instead of showcasing in Oculus Home?

Only lawyers read EULAs.

Just have a "Got it" or "OK" button. Once you click that it's an acknowledgment that you knew and you waive your right to complain. It's a standard UX.

What? Not meeting minimum hardware specs?  It can be, depending on how far from minimum you are.  This is a device that can under the wrong conditions or on an under powered system can induce vomiting, eye strain and headaches.
