However, with Steam, it shouldn't be too hard to bypass the retail channel and get HL2 directly from Valve.
Ahh, but don't forget it's something like 4gigs or so of data. I believe australia still has the stupid low caps on broadband. 256/128k doesn't count as broadband. (I think, I havn't checked recently. I know it's still that way in New Zealand)
Maybe you like all that flashy crap, but I use IM (gaim in windows in this case) for just IM and (sometimes) file transfer. I don't want imvironments "smilies", "audibles" and all that other crap. (It also lets you ignore all the fonts/colours/etc that other people have set, which a godsend, so I don't have try to read red text on a purple background or something equally hideous)
For me, all the crap is a strong argument for NOT using yahoo's client.
Can't you still get AK-47s in the US that are semi-auto only that arn't covered by the ban? I know a friend who has one, and will carry it (unconcealed) down the street to our place)
AVG works pretty well, i've found. I used it on all the machines that came in when I used to work at a computer shop and it caught pretty much all of them.
I run it on my windows systems at home, too. So consider this as another vote for AVG.:)
You should probably also consider a firewall, there are couple of free ones out there, including Zone Alarm and so on.
Slashdot Mirror
So why hasn't http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vul nerabilities.html
been updated now that 1.0 is out?
But only if you bought the bronze pack, ATI coupon owners miss out. :(
Or download a crack and have your CD key stolen, so when you try to activate it, you're locked out. YAY
I beleive in the steam hardware survey, the most used card/GPU is a nvidia geforce4 mx 4x0.
Which is pretty crappy these days.
The latest beta/preview of opera 7.60 seems to work with google, although im not sure if they have a version of the zaurus.
Yes, run home and play Halo 2 for a whole 6-10 hours, and you're ready for HL2.
Winamp 5.05 plays ogg streams just fine..
Ahh but with firefox and the adblock plugin I see no ads!

Oh but they did. NT 3.1 and 4 had PowerPC ports. (And Alpha ones, too, I think)
Woah! It needs a gig of free space to install? What the hell?
Wonder how long till they get turned into bushmeat
XP/2k machines with uptimes that long scare me. ;)
Why?
Because they havn't been patched for months.
Not if the EULA says it's not, which they all say, btw. (See blizzard vs bnetd)
Of course, this is illegal in the US. No reverse engineering allowed

There's also a gmail notifier for firefox, which sits in the status bar
What?
Gmail doesn't use java.
It makes use of javascript and DHTML/COM stuff, I think, but not java.
The latest preview version of 7.6 works ok with gmail, so I guess 7.6 will work too when it comes out.
Most of that is probably the memory cache.
In 0.9.3 it's set to 64MB by default.
Bah, where's GIM (based on jabber, like apple is doing!) already?

Dude, do NOT have a LOADED firearm in your house, let alone under your bed/pillow
! Jesus, that's just asking for your head to be blown off.
SP4 for XP? WOW! ;)
Are you from the future?
