Steam's DRM is... sign in to play.
The game will likely allow you to play offline, without the need for a CD Key, jumping through hoops, or installing rootkits that slowly shred your hard drive and CD Rom.
I rarely use my hotmail account, yet every time I log in, there's always spam in my Inbox, and more spam in the spam folder.
I use my Gmail account frequently, and have not seen a spam in my Inbox in years. The spam folder has spam in it most days, but I expect this because I am actively using (and giving out) my Gmail address. Google's filters are fantastic.
I suspect that most people have similar experiences, judging from the replies I'm seeing here.
Embarrassing or not, neither the Tory, nor the previous Liberal, governments have had awesome track records when it comes to the environment.
But there is a point in saying that the Kyoto Accord wasn't going to work well without India and China on board. And carbon trading is just a sham.
And frankly, it doesn't matter one bit what the gov't does, if we, as consumers, continue to drive SUVs two blocks to get a bag of chips.
Thank you, Commander Taco, for making Slashdot what it was, and is. I've continued to read this site daily, even as other sites fell by the wayside, from the day I followed a link to it.
Don't be a goober. Changing your email address 'cause someone else's email is getting to you is like buying a new house because you got your neighbor's snailmail. The guy's comment is legit: How many friends and family members have your email address? How many forums have you signed up with yours? Do you do any online banking? Use eBay? Or Paypal? Do you not know how much of a pain in the ass it would be to change your email address and sort out all the stuff you'd have to change?
I think it looks much cleaner than v2, but there are a few bugs at the moment. One that I have found just now is that when you zoom in Chrome, it does not stay focused on the section you were looking at.
What's your point? Blizzard's a large-ish company, with their own corporate structure. Just because your company does something a particular way doesn't mean Blizzard does.
Also, the header for the story says "Alan Dabiri, Lead Software Engineer for StarCraft 2". In the sentence you quote, the author of the story (you'd have to ask to be sure) may have meant "a Lead Software Engineer for Blizzard Entertainment, who worked on Wings of Liberty..". Or perhaps the "a" is an error.
The biggest and best arguments for LAN is lower latency, less risk of random disconnection and not having to deal with internet jerks.
Frankly, once you know that a company bans entire accounts for cheating, you should maybe consider not cheating, even if the only person you bother is yourself. And Blizzard is well known for wide, sweeping bans. And since all their games are tied to one account, well...
No, it does not take place locally. If you lose internet connection at any point during the game for more than a second, you're dropped out of the game.
You can play offline in the campaign only, and even then without the achievements.
The guy admitted that he had the trainer program running while he was playing online with friends. Can't really tell the difference between someone cheating and someone goofing around with friends when it's just automated software. And at any one time there are tens of thousands of games going on at the same time, so it's a bit hard to check out possible cheaters on a case by base basis.

That's a brilliant idea!
Not just the whoooom, but the LSD-like-hazy-wobble of the screen coming into focus. I sort of miss that too.
If you are a paying subscriber, do they remove the ads?
Best of luck!

Hey, they'll lay off the shitty commentary if you'll lay of the shitty comments.
iOS and PC. :)

I've contributed to many a Slashdotting.
The arguments have been fun and entertaining.
And idle is pants.

PS: Slashdot is dead, long live Slashdot!
Oops, got your neighbors snail mail. Gotta move houses now.
Oops, wrong assignment in my work inbox. Damn, gotta get a new job.
Damn, someone called the wrong number, and I have to get a new phone number.
Brilliant idea.
Great idea... bounce messages to DO-NOT-REPLY addresses which reply to your bounce which you bounce back...
Careful, that one's heading for the trailer park.
And bounce is not what the OP was looking for.

... that shouldn't have had sequels. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Hahaha. :P Nicely done.
Yeah, not having LAN sucks. The game is still fun.
and am currently enjoying Civ 5.
Which is the same thing as Civ 4. And Civ 3. And Civ 2. And Civ 1.
As I said up the stream a bit there, he was using the trainer program ONLINE while playing with his friends. His own fault.

And software engineering is but one aspect of game developing. So yeah, there's multiple leads because there are multiple disciplines involved.

You can play the campaign offline, albeit without achievements. Multiplayer? No dice.
