No, it isn't. If you'd RTFA, you'd learn that the DNS check only happens as a confirmation safety step, once an active cheat has already been detected by Steam.
Speaking for myself: If you've supported your unpopular or arcane opinion with a well-thought out argument, then I'm likely to mod it 'interesting', at the least. On the other hand, if your argument is nonexistent or so weak that I am left thinking that you don't actually hold that opinion yourself, but are instead posting it to get a reaction out of others... then I go for troll.
Option The First:
1. Buy Dell Laptop
2. Do first-use OS initialization, power down, remove HDD, store away in a safe place
3. Add new harddrive, install OS of choice
4. If at any time you have warranty service needs, swap original HDD back in
Yes, I understand that. But-- at least in the judeo-christian realm-- it seems that 'divine forgiveness' is really only 1 step removed from the primary point of religion: learning to cope with mortality.
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
I bought a Pixel. The only reason I wiped ChromeOS (for Linux) is that ChromeOS does not support my employer's flavor of VPN. Otherwise, I was quite content with ChromeOS + Crouton.

You rap in exponential time, and I'm Big-O of log(n).
The gram is both a unit of mass, and a unit of weight. The intended meaning is dependent on context. This is why your bathroom scale will happily express your weight in either pounds or kilograms.
OK, so then call it a pump-and-dump scam. Or call it a mania. But don't call it a Ponzi scheme, because it isn't. We aren't denying the bad aspects of Bitcoin; we're bemoaning your misuse of a well-defined term.

Thank you for that... from now on I will use that term in lieu of 'religion', at every opportunity.

No, that would be Torgo's Executive Powder.

Yes; but back then it was because they were amateurs, doing this for a hobby.
Actually, there are (or, will be) 2100 million million Satoshis. The market is currently focused on the wrong unit of measurement.

No, it's an indication that kids want a channel that is very transient, non-persistent, and out-of-band for their parents.

No, he's making fun of the fact that the author didn't just use 'cryptocurrency' as the general word.
