This is Valve's way of encouraging you to download cracks so you don't have to use Steam, also encouraging you to steal the game all together, out of spite for their entire system which inconviences about as many people that are _TRULY convienienced.
I for one care not either way. Steam is ok, but not essential.

This was the exact reason the League of Nations faltered and fell apart, not the only reason however.
The U.N seems to falter for a lot longer for a lot more reasons, corruption, lack of overall authority, too many layers of bureaucracy, not enough internal control.
How would the internet be improved through the regulation of the U.N?
We are talking about one of the most bloated organizations in the history of mankind. If the internet was to be regulated by the U.N things can only get more bloated, more layers of bureaucracy, more control in a U.N manner.
There will be rules, nobody would follow them. There will be structure, nobody would maintain it. There will be staff, nobody will control them.
The U.N form of bureaucracy does not fit well with an entity such an the internet, it is not a country, it is not a domain in which you can impose rules. It is best left in it's current state with further improvements open to a more multi-national forum.
No, no... the internet definately requires it's own independant international system, outside of real world politics, where proper decisions can be made with intelligence, and most importantly efficiency. The U.N cannot do any of this.
If this ever happens, the internet is doomed as we know it.
Now they can unsuspisciously order large numbers of Ayn Rand novels in bulk, which I'm sure was the entire reason behind this theft.
Does every university have a laptop filled with various pieces of carefully organized identification?
Why a laptop? To make it easier to steal? I'd imagine they would have this kind of information, encrypted on a computer that was bolted down, with no monitor that could be accessed with seperate passwords for encryption/login. From now on they should only allow log in with a parallel port behind glass. That'll learn em!
Were they creating a package for the thief? A clever lunchbag of id theft?
All the Berkeley punks were playing D&D and contemplating murder and were too busy to notice the shiny laptop that controls the entire school through its cunning rolls, was taken by the chaotic good thieves of the night!
If Microsoft was a Brazillian company I think that quote would have been from the US Government, but they can't make quotes like that or they will lose their MS deals.
Brazil should go with Linux and used the save money on depth charges to get rid of the Great White Sharks that are hunting in packs and actin a fool.
Or better yet, they can use the money to restore the rainforest, or to buy back land from McDonalds farms so they can stop the slash and burn technique.
Ironically back then, Jesus was viewed by many of the Roman populace as being an evil man and a bad influence for the people. He was killed, many rejoiced, and many still do.
I for one could care less, if God was my dad and he let me die, that would be the end of our long talks.
And as for violence being glorified, try the news, one minute, "Your Army Needs You!", next minute, boom! There goes some new recruits!
Video games if any put a comedic spin on violence, making it family fun. Jesus would get more of a kick out of video games than he would out of that Mel Gibson movie.
How can you say Jesus wouldn't enjoy the 5 star cops rating in GTA?
If anything we will have a large group of people using Firefox out of spite for Microsoft even if IE7 is an indefinately better product.
I think this isn't really a bad thing for anyone, when Microsoft turns it on in the "innovation"(see: copying and re-implementing with 10x funding) department, they really encourage their competition to try hard. And in retrospect their lack of effort in previous IE releases encourged their competition to try hard.
So either way, the Firefox developers will be ramping up their development to either take back lost market share, or to supercede the next effort by Microsoft should it fail.
But there's always enough plebes to keep the best looking worst product around.
For the past years, as long as I can remember(not very long), I've been watching Lord of the Rings or Star Wars every year in the theatre, good god man what movies am I going to see now?
You want version 5.0 of this motherboard, and then get a honeyx OC bios and update it to that to get IO APIC. After that, it should be pretty rock solid, I run a 1.33ghz at 1.47ghz, which is the equivalent of 1800+ apparently (i hate their system).
I've never had any problems with the board and I'd recommend it to anyone who needed a look-end workstation(by todays standards).
Of course I don't use the onboard video/sound and most of the things I don't use are turned off. It's important to read around and find out if there are any things in your bios that can enhance the performance/stability. Usually it's a tradeoff.
Anyways here's a link to a useful read on the K7S5A
Naveen Jain seems to be at the reins, making a company that directly competed with his previous company incite a war, make Infospace come to an agreement. And now they are partners, with Naveen Jain still getting paid in essence by Infospace, regardless of his current companys success or lack thereof.
If Infospace had any brains they would get rid of all affiliation with its former founder where he obviously knows how to play his cards. Which has never been good news for Infospace in the past, and likely not in the future.
I think everything should be routed through my pc that is digital. Down with these so called television units, they are oldschool. Let us have all the power through our PC so we may control it and possess all media simultaneously and back it up for later generations.
Someone needs to stop the relentless killing in Chechnya, enough is enough. Grozny is pretty much obliterated, looking somewhat worse than Fallujah, time for peace is needed and Putin will never bring this.
I hope for Russia and the countries struggling for independence, can achieve it peacefully in the future without any more blood being spilled.
In the music industry there are standards. When there is such and such hit artist, they will notably get 20x the exposure through popular tv shows (atleast popular with the teenage sheep mass).
Being that this is the target audience of 60% of trendy music, they will be the ones plugging away their nickels.
But don't you want to get that hit song early? Well don't wait until next week, you can buy 50 Cent - Candy Shop now for $0.99!
This is when this whole idea turns to complete shit. Record companies don't give a shit how the system works as long as they're making a lot of money. They're making a lot of money, they don't give a shit.
They just want to squeeze every last dollar out of us in any way possible. Any time there is some kind of revenue that falls under intellectual property rights, you will always see this kind of behavior. Sueing for unauthorized duplication of a product/idea. Some I agree with, some I disagree with. But it's overall procedure for lawyers especially to always do as much as they can for their client, again capitalist world, can't blame them for doing their job well, but they are pissing off a lot of people.
In the long run they need to get an effective way of targeting said audience for piracy but offering attractive alternatives to music, such as iTunes which was a huge success. It's been a long time since the record industry has done something for the people who buy the music, except sue them.
to commit suicide, you must not be seriously considering it. Because most people who are serious aren't too concerned about how they will die much less that they will in the end, die.
Give me a break, are they going to fine libraries for having murder mysteries? Oh my, he shot that man, perhaps I could shoot myself!
If any kind of proper security measures had been used this would not have been possible. Namely, not doing confirmation for admittance to one of the most prestigious school via the internet. I'm sure it's within their funding to allot 4-10 hours of someones time to print out a pile of generic acceptance letters, and then hand sign them and mail them out as opposed to doing it electronically where some sneaky cracker can find it and reveal to the world about who got accepted.
If this really is about ethics, then it's a complete hypocrisy, ethics and business go together about as well as ethics and war.
If you consider yourself ethical, you lose more. More money, more men, more whatever. There is no place for ethics in a capitalist business world, and by disallowing some future capitalist crooks, Harvard has just made them more angry and in the long run they will be perfectly molded into the business world as a typical crook and common thief, deserving of no respect.
Why is it Harvards fault?
They teach that ethics is important when in reality, it is money that matters in business and not much else more. If you think otherwise, you're kidding yourself.
They should have allowed the kids and given them a special class, for those that understand that ethics and business have no place together. Unless we were communist and everyone was treated the same whereas there's no motivation to succeed perhaps ethics could be a cornerstone of an economy like that. But in a cutthroat world of whos got the most money and who can take it from you, ethics is a small hurdle in a long marathon.
Living in Canada in a rural area (even by Canadian terms) I rarely see a police car much less anyone who IDs for liquor, or strangers. I doubt a system of constantly watching rural areas for those terrorists that are terrorizing farms, would be financially feasible. I mean our government's party is called "Liberal" but that does not mean they are liberal enough to let a system, especially an independantly controlled one be set up for the government or private company usage.
Ever since the installment of the Patriot Act, Canadians had a sort of hushed wait for their version which came and never was really implemented. Due to the recent tragedy involving 4 shot mounties it appears to be the "Reichstag" in the unravelling of these "Big Brother" type surveillance and systems of control.
But in reality, atleast in Canada this system will not work because most Canadians on their own will spot any kind of thing going on, and with the lack of manpower they better start to invest trust in the common citizen rather than turn them against each other with idiotic ways of monitoring us all.
Since when was the citizen corrupt enough to warrant monitoring from the government?
Kind of like a group of criminals to watch over a public school.
We should be the ones with a Little Brother system monitoring the government, tattletailing every time they do something wrong..now if only we could convince someone to hand out punishment.
Who in the MPAA actually verifys the files are illegal and not just some homemade porn or some songs from your friends band that he gave you?
And how do they justify the number ($150,000) per digital file? What if it's an analog file like a printout of the digital file? Is that still $150,000 or maybe just $50,000?
The MPAA needs more clear guidelines than "If we catch you with a digital file we don't like, it's gonna cost you $150,000"
Not that they care, they are just there to spoonfeed the rich more money so they get a piece of the cake in return. Just a good example of capitalist scumbags.
We all know theres a real warm place waiting for the **AA Lawyers when their life is over.

I'm arguing over the point of perspective, some people don't feel that Jesus' killing was an evil act. Some feel it was good. And some still do.
And the great-great grandparent post was the one that brought up religion through the movie. Thanks.
And I am over it. Jesus died, I don't worship him, nor any demi-god, or deity. I'd say I'm over it.

Slash your wrists vertically.
Cut your throat from ear to ear(might take a while).
shoot yourself in the face.
Turn your car in a closed garage.
All are very typical ways of people commiting suicide, and ways they normally don't wake up.
