That's was I was trying to find out. If you have a boxed versin you're probably better off getting the retail version for cheaper. If you're new to HL2 though the Steam version may be better since you get HL2:Deathmatch (which otherwise costs $10 if don't already own HL2).
Then again, I don't know how much appeal this game would have to those who haven't already bought HL2...
Is $20 for 5 hours really that bad? A movie ticket to see a two hour movie costs $8-$10 (or more). $20 isn't going to get you 5 hours worth of games a place like Gameworks or Dave and Busters. A hardcover book costs around $15-$20 and maybe only last around 5 hours if you're a fast reader.
The way older phones work is by actually creating a dial up modem connection to get their Internet connection. That's why you can't make calls with them. Phones that can use GPRS, EDGE, etc. open a second connection to access the Internet instead, so they can still make and receive calls while connected.
Did you actually try using the page? The videos that are linked off to other sites actually load up the video in another window from the linked site. They can still show all the ads they want.
The rest are hosted by Yahoo themselves and play in the same window.
AMD stopped releasing motherboard chipsets some time ago. I don't know if they still design them internally for their own testing purposes but they've otherwise gave up the market to VIA, nVidia, etc. once their chipsets started maturing.
I think this COULD be a great idea, myself. This technology could be built into televisions. Then broadcasters could broadcast uncensored versions of the audio feed and it'd be up to the television owner if they want to bleep those words or not. As it should be.
The TVA already has something like this. We visited it on a high school field trip probably 15 years ago. They have a big reservoir on top of a big hill and use pumps to pump water up it. When needed, some gates are opened up and the water drops back down, spinning some turbines along the way.
I think they used it for emergencies rather than daily use. Of course this is a much much larger scale than you're talking about (this is for supplementing power on an entire power grid...) but still pretty neat.
I doesn't bother me that you can only pick one category for free. What does bother me is you sometimes have multiple categories for the same thing.
For example there is a Car Audio section under Consumer Electronics and a Car Audio section under eBay Motor. People to the search in two places to find what they are looking for.
You must be using a different Google. On my Google, for many of my searches the first three pages are link-farms and price aggregators. The "meat" of the search is a way down in the list.
Instead of being lawsuit crazy and trying to get people to watch their commercials by force, they gives incentives for people to watch their commercials voluntarily. Wish more advertisers would take this approach instead of making their ads steadily more annoying and intrusive.
Last time I checked, the US was part of the world. US history is part of world history. Making US history accessible to everyone is one step to making the world's history accessible to everyone.
To put it in Slashdot terms, it's like saying "It'd be great if Microsoft released all of their source code. Releasing Windows XP's source code is a good start". Sure Windows XP isn't the only product Microsoft makes but it's still a piece of the puzzle.
Last time I looked, Intel had the only motherboard chipsets that could support SATA optical drives. They wouldn't work on nVidia and VIA chipsets. That was a while back when Plextor first started sampling their SATA DVD writer and things may be different now, of course.
Stan: Yeah. And you know? I think I learned something today, it doesn't matter if you're Christian or Jewish or Atheist or Hindu. Christmas still is about one very important thing: Cartman: Yeah, ham. Stan: No not ham, you fat fuck! Cartman: Fuck you! Stan: Christmas is about something much more important. Kyle: What? Stan: Presents. Kyle: Ah. Stan: Don't you see, Kyle? Presents.
I agree, it's a crap name. At least the "RAZR" can be pronounced as "razor" which is marginally cool sounding.
What's this gonna be, the "roker"? The mental image of a formerly grossly overweight television personality doesn't quite fit the image of a sleek new mobile phone.
Or how about free electricity, free water and sewer, etc. I don't really understand why Slashdot groupthink is that the government should supply free broadband when all of the aforementioned services are pretty much basic necessities in the modern world and have a much bigger impact on quality of life, yet no one is suggesting they be made free. I think lower income families would appreciate that alot more.
These things are almost always on sale for $20. That's how much I picked mine up for. I picked it up because I wanted a wired router, but thanks to wireless's popularity wireless routers are cheaper than wired ones...
It's a little flaky when dealing with alot of connections (for example a busy torrent) but otherwise works great.

Does the boxed version come with all the extras the Steam version does?

It probably depends on who and when you ask, but at least this recent article suggests that's true:

Yahoo Mail has the largest number of users. So that's one market in which they're the leader.

I've got the same build and the test did NOT work for me. I didn't change focus to another window or anything either.
Brilliant!

Uh, no. DOT 5 fluid is silicone by definition. DOT 5.1 is not silicone based. This is what the Elf fluid you mentioned is classified as.
Do you mean "you righted"?
