I can agree with L4D(2) and Steam in general. My friends live back home a few hours away and the easiest way to still keep up is for a few hours playing some L4D or similar for every now and then.
We tore through L4D1, we did some online VS but enjoy the campaigns more. But when L4D2 came out there was enough different types of gameplay to keep us interested depending who was about that evening.
I updated my Samsung Galaxy S a few days ago to Froyo, 2.2. Along with it came an update to the email app that when i entered my work's Exchange details it said that for this to complete the Exchange server needed 'admin' access. If i go itno a new menu in my settings it shows any apps that have admin, currently only this email account can do it.
Now, i'm unsure if the connection to Exchange will still work if you say that it cannot have Admin access, but it does give you fair warning. In 2.1 it didn't do this.
I work in desktop support and the main reason we're not migrating yet is training for the support staff (like me).
I haven't used Vista/7 for longer than about 2 hours so far and i have noticed some rather large differences between XP and beyond. Control Panel and Network Settings come to mind. The security stuff (UAC?) was great but i would want to be trained or at least feel more comfortable using it before i had to support 250 other people.
I know it's a long running joke but users are not particularly computer literate, even in this modern world we live.
I have recently brought my bike to the city but i'm almost terrified of cycling through parts of it - i've lived here about 2 years now and have regularly visited for most of my life. But i work near Holborn and the traffic here is crazy
There was a 'murder mystery' tv drama on Channel 4 here in the UK a few years ago that used this premise. The player uses a virtual stalker/murder game that was acted out in real-life.
Wish i could remember the name of the series
There was a bug not long ago in Steam that when anything was downloading for a few moments it would suddenly stop but still say "Updating".
It can happen now and then too - to fix you need to delete one of the.blob files in the Steam directory. It automatically generates it next time you log into Steam.
I was recently doing some maintenance of my mom's old PC which i have her running firefox. I'd noticed when i was back a while ago that it refused to automatically upgrade to version 3.x.
This was until a few weeks ago when it suddenly realised that it was a few versions behind and notified me that it needed upgrading, and it worked fine.
I recently had trouble with my copy of Firefox on my home desktop. Even though adblock and filterset updater were installed i wasn't blocking any ads (i've since fixed it).
I was amazed at how many sites i regularly frequent that are now plastered in ads and horrible to use.
Truly awesome video and a truly awesome creature visible for the first time. Awesome might even be a bit understated.

Why not? Recently a civil servant was prosecuted for leaving top secret data on a train - there is no reason that this individual won't get prosecuted as well.
That's rather non-sequitur and not what the parent is saying, though i agree that saying that 3rd party browsers building a larger marketshare overall has had an affect on IE updates and not just Firefox.
Your point seems to be that if Firefox didn't exist then Opera could have done this. Wasn't Opera around prior to Firefox?
It's all down to personal preference, i guess. Personally i have used Opera a few times in the past and found Firefox (and it's many predeccesors) more to my liking.
I thought if you traded in the US you had to comply to Sarbanes Oxley - and that it's now a federal offence [i]not[/i] to comply.
I've got a list somewhere of all the different policies that you're supposed to comply with - like the Data Protection, the Computer Misuse Act, etc. in the UK.
I believe there was a change in licencing laws a few years ago to do with perfomancing and playing music on licenced premises. It's not the music you're playing, it's the fact you're playing music makes the the premise an 'entertainments venue' and a different licence is required.
I remember my local pub wanted to play live music but the planning application and licence application takes into account the local residential area and the entertainments licence was refused.

As a VM home user living in London with a smartphone, i think this is fantastic.

Although i haven't experienced it in a long time myself, 'offline mode' on Steam was notoriously picky about letting you play offline.
ICQ had this ability in a realtime chat mode about 10 years ago too.
Whilst that was a great moment - Return to Earth was pretty awful.
I imagine that with a Starship Troopers style "Would you like to know more?"
I had a google - it appears it is an achievement to hug a dead player before they release their corpse

I think he means he wants to us a USB floppy drive on his modern computer to save the software onto 5.25" disks to then use on the old machine.
How do you find cycling in London?

All of our Dell, HP and Microsoft keyboards at work have the Backspace key directly above the Enter key - what keyboard are you using?
I already have a logitech mouse/keyboard combo which is around 3 years old now. The mouse has taken some abuse over the last few years (FPS games).
Any idea if an MX Revolution would be compatible with my current logitech USB dongle?
I noted this above when someone said it is all UK mobile providers.
I haven't found a site yet that my Android can't browse.
I can quite happyily get onto TPB on my t-mobile Android using 3G, so it's not all UK mobile providers.
