Sorry, it doesn't work. You can download the mod and install it alright, but as soon as you try to run it you'll get a little message box telling you that you're not licensed to run source games.
Why do you think Valve is so supportive of the mod community? To play source mods, you NEED to give them money.
Steam *is* a copy protection mechanism in that restricts the game to a single user and it's not easy to duplicate a legit copy to another Steam account
Where does this myth come from? Steam is terrible as copy protection. It has a single point of failure for every game which uses it, which has been cracked for ages. Duplicating copies is really easy.
I won't link anything, but it's easy to find on google. How has the Slashdot crowd remained ignorant of this so long?
Try xmonad. It's a tiling window manager, so it's a little different from what you'll be used to, but it seems to fit your description. It's worth playing around with, and I believe it is possible to integrate it into gnome and KDE.
But wait... You're modded insightful... Which means you're talking out your ass... Which means that's not what insightful means... Which means you're wrong... Which means you're talking out you're ass... Which means that's what insightful means... Hopefully someone will mod you Funny so I can break out of this loop...
However, decentralised torrent search almost certainly will be. Linux distributions and game updates do not need this feature. It's a hell of a lot more difficult to defend this than the rest of BitTorrent.
Not if you open it as administrator (note: not the same as logging in as administrator). Then you get prompted once upon launching Explorer, and never again as long as you have that Explorer session open.
The problem, however, is that process isn't how the typical user wants to work. I don't think "I want to edit lots of system files, I'll run explorer as administrator." I think "Oh wait, that's a system file, I need privileges... How do I get privileges?" I don't know in advance when I'll need to escalate the process, so I want a button in explorer that lets me become admin without loosing my place and having to copy/paste the folder path. In linux, a quick "su" will get me to root, in the same place, and let me give up privileges quickly when I'm done. When your GUI is more difficult to use than the command line, you know you've got a problem.
Copyright owners to be obliged to follow a "use it or lose it" approach to the copyrights they control. Despite new technology, many copyright owners fail to release recordings to the public. As a result many artists lose out and fans can only access such material illegally. A "use it or lose it" contractual provision should automatically apply so that an artists' work is always available for legal purchase by the public, digitally and physically.
That's an interesting sign that this could really be different from the RIAA, and not just artists searching for a larger slice of the pie.
Yes. Did you miss the big scrolling letters running across the screen? The odd thing about Scientology is although that is what they believe, Scientologists are only told it after they have spent an awful lot of time and money on Scientology.
They tried that with Windows XP. Now it's giving them a hell of a lot of trouble, as it's quite difficult to convince people to buy Vista. If you make software which works well, then you'll end up putting yourself out of business.
To be honest, I'm not sure I know anyone who DOESN'T have a turntable, if not in their living room then in their attic. LPs are still being made and sold, and in fact are enjoying a resurgence. Believe it or not, not everyone abandons superior technology because "it's old". I most definitely doubt you.
I just wanted to confirm that this most definitely is still happening in the UK. I have just done my maths GCSEs, having been taught only what I "need" to know and nothing else.
I had my maths GCSE a week ago, and I can confirm that yes, maths is now damn easy. The most difficult question on the paper was to perform a simple proof involving algebraic fractions.
The problem of maths education does seem to be worse in secondary schools, due to the habit of teaching to the lowest common denominator (pun unintentional). For me at least, year 7 maths was simpler than what I was taught in year 6.
One experience that for me really exemplified this decline is the International Maths Olympiad test. During the test, I had to attempt to teach myself how to solve quadrilaterals, as we had not been taught them in class.
For you Americans, UK GCSE = 15/16 years old
If anyone has any questions about learning GCSE level maths, feel free to ask me.

No, BitTorrent isn't always used to steal stuff.

IIRC, everyone in the party knew they were under surveillance. The proles were observed without their knowledge.
Yes. Did you miss the big scrolling letters running across the screen?

Did a mod not notice I SAW what he did?
Puns are never redundant...
I see what you did there...

GCSEs aren't all finished yet...
I'll be going out and getting drunk when they are though, don't worry. I'm not a complete slashdotter.
Now that you've started following our bad example, where am I going to migrate to?
