http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?s=& threadid=10692 Looks like someone custom made some viruses..
Ever have one of those weeks? This has just not been the best couple of days for me or for Valve.
Yes, the source code that has been posted is the HL-2 source code.
Here is what we know:
1) Starting around 9/11 of this year, someone other than me was accessing my email account. This has been determined by looking at traffic on our email server versus my travel schedule.
2) Shortly afterwards my machine started acting weird (right-clicking on executables would crash explorer). I was unable to find a virus or trojan on my machine, I reformatted my hard drive, and reinstalled.
3) For the next week, there appears to have been suspicious activity on my webmail account.
4) Around 9/19 someone made a copy of the HL-2 source tree.
5) At some point, keystroke recorders got installed on several machines at Valve. Our speculation is that these were done via a buffer overflow in Outlook's preview pane. This recorder is apparently a customized version of RemoteAnywhere created to infect Valve (at least it hasn't been seen anywhere else, and isn't detected by normal virus scanning tools).
6) Periodically for the last year we've been the subject of a variety of denial of service attacks targetted at our webservers and at Steam. We don't know if these are related or independent.
Well, this sucks.
What I'd appreciate is the assistance of the community in tracking this down. I have a special email address for people to send information to, helpvalve@valvesoftware.com. If you have information about the denial of service attacks or the infiltration of our network, please send the details. There are some pretty obvious places to start with the posts and records in IRC, so if you can point us in the right direction, that would be great.
We at Valve have always thought of ourselves as being part of a community, and I can't imagine a better group of people to help us take care of these problems than this community.
It's hard to imagine Microsoft coming home drunk one night from a party and accidentally uploading its entire source code, as Meyer did a few years back.
There is one Project that realy delivers PVR to linux. Video Disk Recorder (http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/) is aimed at people with DVB satelite or terrestial cards. The DVB cards also have a very nice open source driver:) The cards them self are rather expensive for now, but the "budget" cards (without the tv-out and mpeg2 decoder) is around $150. VDR can easily control 3 or more DVB cards and automaticaly choose which can recieve a timed recording. It can even pause live TV with a single DVB-S card (Something the windows version of the DVB software can't:) Electronic Program Guide is integrated. You do need a big hard drive tho as the recordings are in DVD quality. They can be converted into SVCD or DivX after they have been recorded of course.

Human-Mouse Hybrids?

If heritable, mice can be bred and animals which are homozygous for the altered gene can be phenotypically examined as long as the manipulation is not homozygous lethal or cause sterility in a single copy state. Unless using blastocysts from immunologically crippled mice, there would most likely be a recognition of non-self by murine immune cells not educated (which haven't seen during their development) to the human cells that would wipe them out.

If you read the SkyTower website you will see that the prefered configuration is two planes doing tight circles in a fixed point in the sky. These planes can share the same frequency and provide redundancy. So if one plane fails, you will at most loose half the bandwith.
Well, beer will cost you $5 -> $6 à 0.5 litres. A 78 m^2 apartment in a city will cost you more than $ 150 000. And what money you DO earn is eaten away in 40-50% taxes, and a record 25% VAT. You will get about 100 days of sunshine a year if you are lucky.
Many religions have a myth about "a great flood" that will purge the lands with rain day and night. The Vikings never had such a myth because this "great flood" can't be any worse than a normal norwegian autum.
But those that DO have a window will have a much better view as they will be looking Front / Down with nothing blocking their view. If the windows were made fairly large the view would be spectacular.

As you can see on the packeteer site the answer tp the P2P problem is simply to use SSL to encrypt all P2P traffic :)

Why just 32Kbps streams? Can't the network handle any more? Someone please test my Röyksopp 128K test and get back to me if it's streaming ok.
Hehe.. Poor transponder then ;) I see the weather in PA isn't the best as I'm getting some packetloss.
