Note: the models are screwy (there is actually no gordon model that comes with HL2!), and it crashes a lot.
Don't worry though, the full SDK is coming out "soon" (heh, somehow that doesn't sound so convincing from Valve), and when the full SDK is out there will be DM mods galore.
No, actually Steam IS a part of HL2 as the filesystem is set up now. In fact the SDK in its current form requires steam to be installed not for business reasons, but because the game resources are so tied into the steam filesystem that making it independantly would require quite a bit of extra work.
Compulsory poor quality public education drives the curiosity and creativity out of kids, so by the time they grow up most adults no longer have the natural love of learning they they did when they were young.
In this situation there is no "other side" to see. UCSD thinks that maintaining its public image is more important than freedom of speech. Thats wrong, plain and simple.
So they make you to pay for a service you don't want by forcibly bundling it with something you do. Why should someone who owns a TV and doesn't watch BBC have any more obligation to pay for the BBC than someone with no TV at all.
Either make the BBC fee a "for-real" tax that applies to everyone, or do what regular companies do and only provide it for those who pay.
That will bias google news towards those news organizations that are willing to pay the fee. One of the great things about google news now is that there is comparatively low bias.
Consumers won't be harmed, its publishers that will take the hit. With Steam, Valve sets a precedent - big name companies no longer have to go through a distributor.
Traditionally companies like Vivendi have performed 2 basic tasks: (1) Distribution (2) Advertising
Now with broadband on the rise, and technologies like Steam, publishers are becoming obsolete.
Heck, all Valve needs to do for advertising is have GabeN make a post on a messageboard - next thing you know its all over the gaming and news sites.
I'm surprised walmart and microsoft haven't merged yet, exact same business philosphy.
Except that Microsoft is consistently ranked as one of the best companies to work for. They may ruthlessly snuff out competition, but they keep their employees happy.
It's also worth noting that to catch these 5 in the act, the government would also have had to partake in illegal sharing, at least for a little while.
At a Star Trek convention John de Lancie (Q), who had the flu at the time, jokingly auctioned off his half-full glass of water. It went for $60, and the winner drank it immediately.
Simply having a monopoly does not make you a monopolist. To be a monopolist you have to actively pursue keeping your monopoly through anticompetitive behavior.

Well, its really hackish, but it sort of works:
Bring up the console
net_start
sv_lan 0
deathmatch 1
maxplayers #
map [mapname]
restart
To connect to the server,
connect ip:port
eg:
connect 111.222.333.444:27015

In war outsourcing is known as "building alliances".
Oh god now i feel like a complete idiot.
Redundant? That isnt redundant (at least that ive seen in this thread), its awesome. Someone made a lego device that solves a rubiks cube.
Looks like a Jem'hedar viewscreen kinda.
Indeed
That was true for me too, but from what I've seen we are in the minority.

Now, a powered, unicycle segway. Woot.
Someone already made one. Its called the Eunicycle. Apparently operation is rather intuitive as well since all you have to do to turn is lean.

How is the parent post off-topic? First it criticises SunnComm's DRM, one topic described in TFA, with a sarcastic "letter".
Then, it makes a joke referencing Elvis that is particularly pertinent since SunnComm used to be in the business of Elvis impersonators.
Is it just me or does Mr. Jeeves look like the evil butler from The Shining?

What about displays that show the current radio station or CD track that you are listening to?

Geek minds think alike.
How many protection schemes do you remember that worked (never been cracked)?
Well, HL's online CD key authentication has yet to be cracked, and that's nearly 6 years old.
Last year Bittorrent's creator Brahm Cohen was hired by Valve to improve Steam's content distribution system.
Also in terms of overloading servers, slashdot has nothing over the hordes of counter-strike players.

The whole of DS9 and the last seasons of TNG, arguably the best seasons of Star Trek, were made after Roddenberry's death.
