I have made my own little extreme sport out of it. I fill my old box with all of my financial information, and surf around using IE. I think Microsoft is pretty impressed, because they keep sending me boxes of Viagra and dog crap.

We have NO connection with their spam.
Why is this even an issue? First of all, I have no sympathy for anyone that has had their account disabled, and I see nothing wrong with what Valve is doing, or how they are going about it. If you used a leaked CD Key, you deserve all of what you've gotten, and if you installed a patch that was not endorsed nor created by Valve, you are stupid to do so. If I were in Valve's shoes, I would do the same thing.
There is absolutely nothing wrong to enforcing the EULA in this manner, you agreed to it by installing the software, and the only reason that your account was disabled in the first place was because you violated it. You didn't HAVE to agree to the EULA.
Well, that is what I think, IMHO.
To add to that, if you purchase the collector's edition you also get Half Life: Source. Plus some other really interesting toys. I am going to go get my copy soon, I want the soundtrack CD. Another nice feature of the collector's edition is the fact that everything comes on one DVD instead of five CDs.
I know just how to stop those pesky ushers with their new fangled night vision goggles. It all amounts to one of two things. A really bright flashlight, or if you'd like to be more subtle, a laser pointer. Just blast him right on the lens, it should make for quite a reaction.
Wow! It is amazing to see the range of comments based on this war. I see everything from accusations of treason to full out patriotism. I am a Canadian. The leader of my country has decreed that we will not support the US in their actions against Iraq. I stand behind him 100%. I do however wish the American troops in the Gulf the best, and hope that God is with them. For the Iraqis, I hope that they have God on their side as well. No good comes of war, and I pray that this is the moral of what is about to happen.
God Bless!
It is interesting that Canada's power situation has been brought up. Today a waterline inside Pickering Nuclear Power Generating Station burst, shutting down the facility. Now power is being imported into Canada from the USA.
If this form of computer is lacking in practical computing power, then what good is it besides being a really fancy form of mould?
Another question that I am asking myself is how data is collected from the computer. Would the results be displayed as a change in color, or would it actually be something that would have to be monitored by a scientist or another computer?
I am curious as to what practical applications an impractical supercomputer may have. I can't see it as being effective for much more than the simplest of things, which are easily accomplished by a standard computer system. Seems to me as though the Israelis have re-invented the wheel. It would be nice to see another original invention, such as the UZI....

I found a much easier way to find Atlantis. Right from your PC!

Hey, if it can find nude pictures of George W. Bush, it can find ANYTHING!
You guys are failing to ask the most IMPORTANT question. WILL IT RUN DUKE NUKEM: FOREVER?!
In Soviet Russia, the internet hacks you!

The RIAA has an amazing similarity to OJ Simpson. Still in search of 'The Real Filesharers'
Who cares about the thermal scan?! It's all about playing Counterstrike while you wait for your mini-pizza to be hot!
First office sized message delivery hindenbergs, and now 4-wheeled hindenbergs?! No good will come of this! No good at all!

... Duke Nukem Forever has been redesigned as a 'photorealistic CGI' TV Series and will be hitting local channels in the near future*
