A swedish reporter (from Expressen) did this a few months ago.
After a while, he ended up meeting one of the people behind the scam.. in amsterdam.

I call Lucas up:
Hi, it's Ingvar
-Where did you go? Are you trying to con me?

Actually, there is a little-known workaround to get proper png support in IE.
While the workaround is a rather interesting hack, it's a shame there's need for one to begin with.
The hack involves using Behaviors and Direct-X filters. The only drawback is that you can't apply other DX filters on the proper PNGs, but who uses those anyway?
Of course, some people have gotten HL to run on the hl2 engine afaik. I'm sure it wasn't too hard, so Valve might do something like it as well, and possibly touch up the textures a wee bit..
It "May" cost more.. hurrah! \o/
In all fairness, it probably will end up costing more... until you need support.
MCSEs (yes, they do know how to fix common issues with MS platforms) are a dime a dozen.
Can you say the same about support for other platforms?
Not to mention they're actually waterproof!
Something i discovered when going for a swim and forgetting to take $200 out of my pocket.
Hooray for waterproof money!

This proposal is like someone who asks to fuck you before they've bought you flowers or even kissed you.
Bring it on!
Sadly, these genetic algorithms only work for blue-eyed developers

You'd think MS would be clever enough to use a registrar that supports auto-renewal. Like any tucows reseller.
Here is a before and after picture of a terminal patient with an actively growing neck tumour that had failed to respond to conventional treatments.
Both pictures look like a little red X on a white background here.

Not only should people send a C&D letter, but can't they also take scox to at least small court?
Not that I know smack about law or anything
