False. You must *register* with Steam, you must be *connected* to Steam. Or your dead-tree package doesn't work.
The GP is correct that Steam is an alternate distribution method for the game itself. The fact that you have to register through Steam doesn't invalidate the fact that you can get the game through Steam, instead of your local store.

... they proove once again that open source software can react far faster to new threats than any closed source development model.
I agree, but open source reaction vs. closed source reaction is really only half of the issue. The other other half is the end-user's reaction (how quickly they upgrade).
is so that you can't fly on someone else's ticket.
If you have a ticket you can't use, you can't sell it in the paper (or on eBay). There used to be all kinds of classified ads for airplane tickets for sale. No more. It's economics, not security.
For some reason I don't but this argument...
I can see the situation where someone has their ticket stolen, but thatis a security reason.
It supposedly prevents Firefox from "giving up" the memory it was using when you minimize it, and therefore should prevent the disk thrashing and delay you experience when restoring the window after a long period of time.
Windows will still take the memory if it really needs it, though.
There IS an alternative solution, though. It involves increasing the earth's albedo - the reflectiveness of the atmosphere and surface. Now, the earth already has a mechanism to do this: storms. Clouds have a high reflectiveness, and storms also kick up the ocean, producing whitecaps.
Contrails from aircraft have an impact on Earth's albedo. There are quite a few strange people out there who believe the U.S. government (at least) is using "chemtrails" to the same effect./shrug
What is for some an environmental catastrophe might be a great commercial opportunity.
A number of sci-fi stories involve invading alien civilizations bent on raping Earth for its natural resources. Fortunately, that kind of situation will probably remain firmly in the realm of sci-fi. Unfortunately, that's probably because there won't be anything left worth taking.
Besides... What's the likelihood that humans become one of those planet-hopping civilizations down the road?
Type ahead fine works better in the suite. I prefer a links only search if i just start typing, with / for the fulltext. Firefox always does fulltext.
Starting with a (') in Firefox will do a links-only TypeAhead Find.
There is also an [unfortunately hidden] option called accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly. Setting this to true does exactly what you want.
Type ahead find doesn't work in the View Source window of FireFox.
Works for me...
Too many options have been removed from the preferences window in FF/TB. The new design isn't very usable for the more complicated tabs (such as Advanced).
I agree. This was actually one of the main reasons I stuck with Mozilla up until the 1.0 release of Firefox. For me, now, the positives outweigh this negative, but it is still a little disheartening to see an almost inconsistent and non-intuitive Options window...
I like right clicking a link in an email and selecting "Open in New Tab".
Tools -> Options... -> Advanced -> Tabbed Browsing -> Open links from other applications in: (*) a new tab in the most recent window.
It should be noted that Philadelphia made a deal with Verizon that will allow it to go forward with their original city-wide WiFi rollout despite this law.
Is anyone else raising an eyebrow at the idea of a business telling a city what it can and can't do? I guess it was only a matter of time before it became so overt.
Who wants to bet that Verizon calls in on this little favor in the future?

I think I might be willing to put with something like that for a little while. :o)
Stupid flight cancellations...
The more hoops you're willing to jump through to be a "good citizen," the more loyal you'll be seen by the government.
It's an interesting, if highly disturbing, filter...

Agree to go see the recruiter and set up a date and time. One hour later, call back and tell them you've changed your mind.
In my case, the recruiter hung up before I could even say "Good bye," and I never received another call from any branch.
Apparently those visions included lots of shifting colors...
