You mean the one that forces you to "update" before you can play its game?
I seem to recall a little option for each Steam game, oh what was it called? Oh yeah.. Do Not Automatically Update This Game.. It's available under Properties (right-click) of any game in Steam. And online games probably should have Automatic updating on, but if you don't like new models and features and bug fixes, then turn it off for your single-player games.
Wind waker is probably the easiest of all the Zelda games. It tells you exactly where to go and what to do next, and the combat is incredibly easy. The puzzles are standard Zelda fare, and none compare to the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, or the difficulty-through-obscurity of the original. The only problem I ever had in Wind Waker was opening up the Nintendo Gallery, I didn't think to bait a seagull to flip that switch for about 20 minutes. And the triforce shard hunting isn't hard, it's just extremely annoying and time-consuming.
WOW. Notice I wasn't replying to the article, but to the parent poster, who literally said we should force people to use Linux at work. Instead, I get a rant about the open-source mentality directed at me, and I agree with that mentality. I'll quote what I'm replying to next time.
No, he got annoyed by the stupid-ass third person/me's people use to signify an action. Italics are fine for emphasis, but not for stupid bullshit like that.
I know the TI-86 has a 6 mhz CPU. I also know that you often had to wait a damn long time to plot some functions in multivariable calculus. But no, there's no math beyond geometry, so of course they don't need the SIX MEGAHERTZ OF RAW POWER.
We're talking 53 GB on a 60-GB-advertised drive. 60 GB figured with 1000 MB being 1 GB is 58.6 GB. I use NTFS on this particular drive, I can't see how the tables for that would use around 5 GB.
If it's illegal, no one's going to do a damn thing about it just because "the number is written right on the MB boxes". Hard drives have been doing this for years. I've had plenty of drives, where even if you calculate 1 GB as being 1000 MB, the capacity is far lower than they advertise.
And if your website is designed in such a way that it's that difficult to get working in a standards-compliant browser, it's probably not worth visiting anyway, so don't worry about us Firefox users.

He was referring to the originally planned 256 MB for the Xbox 360, and possibly also referring to the 256 MB in the PS3.
It's nice that you conveniently ignore the fact that HL2 is, in fact, a great game. And the fact that Steam works perfectly.

As do I, but the point was usually to use up the whole 8-digit display. Of course, for 10-digit displays, 5800877351 was popular.
I just want to make sure you knew I was replying to the parent poster, not the article itself (I'll quote next time). Good point though.

Forcing Linux on users really fits in with the open-source mentality of choice.
My asshole has been opening to the approximate shape of the shit passing through it for years. OLD NEWS.

Yes, the sound of the piezo speaker was pornographic to his mathematics professor.
Nowadays kids do 55378008. All I have to say about it is: goddamnit.

Yes, but the lines will run horizontally.
If I said that out loud, to a real person, with extra emphasis on "bar", their subsequent glare would pierce my soul.
The best part of clocking up, is Folgers in your bus
Then 2005 called. It wanted this incredibly hypocritic post back.

That's actually pretty clever.. too bad it only got scored 1. Kudos.
Works in Firefox, and I don't have Java installed, I'm guessing it's Javascript.
The only time I've seen ActiveX used where it was really needed was for Trend Micro's Housecall free online scan. I'd use IE for something like that.
Well, I would if I was stupid enough to run that 24kb Halo-2-FULL.exe from Kazaa. Or stupid enough to install Kazaa at all, I suppose.
IE6 SP2.
