Guns in specialists mod often times have laser sights that project a red dot on the walls. Every time I'd see a hint of bright red out of my peripheral vision in real life I'd tense and prepare to spin around, dive (in slow motion), and blast the sucker with my deagle.
Not that I ever actually did that.... almost though...
Anyone who uses Dreamweaver and calls themselves a "Web Designer" or a "Webmaster" is a monkey with a typewriter. Tools like that are great for maintaining HTML and making homepages, but not for producing real, clean, standards-compliant code.
I've produce clean, standards-complaint code with dreamweaver templates. I eventually gave it up for a homebrew XML pipelining tool (far more powerful) but dreamweaver's templates are decent.
Linux has a lot of the software necessary for a great operating system. The problem seems to be tying it together neatly. This is why there are so many projects like this, it's a good thing.

If I were you I'd just write a special script to do that, probably far less hassle and more accurate.
Once you get good enough at it, there are few enough maps that everyone's memorized the levels. Seriously, everytime a newby comes on it's kinda annoying because they just walk wherever they want rather than following the standard route.
Seriously, this dialog is over the top bad. From the spike TV awards main page.
"Well I hate to say it - but the 2004 VGAs are over. But man what a gnarly show. Mötley Crüe is back together. Finally. And all is right with the world once again. How sweet of a band do you have to be to have an ümlaüt in your name and still kick ass? Alright friends, I'm off to the afterparty. I may not remember most of what happens so be cool about it if I do something stupid."
A study by UCLA showed that unionized companies are less profitable than those who are not unionized. However, unionized companies are more productive.
Hmmm, I was under the impression that MS XML wasn't an open standard (that it'd be as difficult as.doc to reverse engineer). If MS truly does support then great. Of course, it still won't really help me until the default file save option is XML so that when a client sends me a word document they send it in a format that's easier to read.
Ummm, that's curious because the technology which allows the integration, rss, is an open standard not developed by MS. It's parent standard XML is one that MS has refused to adopt for MS Office instead locking you into the proprietary and hard to reverse engineer.doc format. It integrates because MS is acting out of character.

Except all of these people are giving up significantly more than steam asks. I think you're making false analogies.
I personally don't mind the loss of privacy in steam because it means I don't have to worry about lost / scratched media ever again (and I ALWAYS forget to make backups). That alone is worth it to me. Plus, I hate draggin my ass out to the store to buy games.
I compromise my system integrity regularly. When I patch the un-Steamed Unreal Tournament 2004 I don't dissasemble the binaries and make sure it's really not selling my computer's soul. When I go to windowsupdate.com I'm similarly compromising my security. Steam's fine, I don't mind a certain amount of privacy loss at all. But all these actions are no comparison to spyware.
Yes, no one gives a shit about these things when their existing OS runs them just fine. I'm all for converting the unwashed masses but not as a christmas gift. To most people learning a new OS (and if you don't think learning will be involved you're in denial) is not their idea of christmas fun. Yeesh.
If the problem's been fixed then what's your problem? I don't care about 'rules' that shouldn't be applied universally, I care about the game working properly. Why are you trying to hurt half life?
True, but it's really a bitch sometimes installing software (such as CMFs) as non-root. Documentation / support is often times spotty, and I'd rather do it as root or get root to do it for me.
It's entirely possible to function without root. Albeit to a limited extent. You have to ask your admin to install / upgrade software for you, but do it enough and maybe he'll get sick of it and give you root. Next?

Don't you think that your characterization of late joining LJers is a egregiously unfair? We're not all assholes.

They released a second campaign, "Ortega", but by the time I found out about it people were done with that one too.
Alien Swarm is one killer mod. Unfortunately no one seems to play it anymore, and multiplayer was really its strong point.
Regardless, the setting of Doom is as shitty as the plot. This isn't Shakespeare come on. Who gives a shit.

Food for thought.
I always thought the plot of the games was supposed to be laughably bad. Shouldn't any real fans not have too much a problem with this?
I'll be laughing at you when 50 years from now this still, sadly, isn't true.
