As my excitement for the potential HL2 release builds, I am now found utterly disgusted with society. From a sheer gaming standpoint, the potential for hackless/cheatless gaming has now been seriously compromised. This does not even begin to approach other possible legal complications that may arise due to the propriety information that may now be out. I haven't seen any information that has actually been released yet. Does anybody know what it actually contains? Just the game code, graphics engine, everything?
I immediatly went out to switch ISP's when I heard of this merger back in October. The switchover itself was mildly painless. It actually took QWest near one week to change the dsl signal line from Qwest.net over to xmission. While getting the change rolling, they did mention that there was a charge of $30 for modifying my existing broadband/telephone service mandated by the US Government. I fought this as far as I could claiming it was unfair to force me over to an ISP which I did not choose or charge me for changing ISP's when I had no choice otherwise. I got clear up to some supervisor with her own 800 number to be told that there is nothing they can/will do about it.
Just to give a heads up, it is going to cost you $30 to drop MSN, a couple days downtime (no more than one week hopefully, and whatever startup fees for your new ISP.

Is that really fair?
