I don't think anyone in history has used a 100mb line.

You mean like this scary thing?

Even criminals have rights.

If one wants to compete, they have to take a test. If they don't consent, they don't compete. This is not a violation of rights because there is no necessity or right to compete.

False. One pass is enough. Massive linkdump:

But multiple OSes that use the kernel can.

Linux isn't an OS.

You still need Steam. In fact, my Half-Life 2 DVD didn't need itself at all. It forced me to install Steam and then proceeded to download Half-Life 2 for me instead of installing from a DVD.

It's stupidity. One absolutely needs an Internet connection in order to play Steam games. And a broadband one, at that.

Not if you sticky the windows, switch, and unsticky.

Can't general anonymizers any Tor circumvent this, or am I mistaken?

I'm not entirely sure if it's actually legislated, but it might be a signed contract basically saying that breathalyzer tests are required to be taken on request or one is guilty of a DUI. Either one signs the contract or one doesn't get a license.

I don't know. I can't remember if I signed anything like that. I'm still in the stage of life where I don't read anything and just sign it. I'll regret that one one day. I'll look up the statutes one day for shits and giggles, but that's probably it.

I bike and walk anyway. It doesn't get much colder than -10 F in most cases, so it's good.

When I want a URL by accuracy, it returns the most recent URLs first and matches URLs anywhere. That is a no-no. That is not how I think. I like URLs matching at the beginning of the domain name.

I also have trouble going to the root domain of a website. I usually have several other links that go to child pages of the actual site I'm going with. Example: Facebook likes to link me to many pages, such as old notes, albums, and other crap. If I type in "https://" and then tab (which shows these "awesome" URLs for me, ala Vimperator), I see all sorts of URLs I do not want.

I don't use bookmarks, either, so that's a wasted feature. When I had the toolbar, it annoyed me how much my screen estate was wasted with the double-lined URL descriptions.

Refusing a breathalyzer test is against the law and brings a fine here in Minnesota. Many states it does as well. So if it's in a state where it isn't legal to refuse such a test, I have to ask who's responsible for missing that important conviction point.

Not very many highlights for Halo 3, unfortunately. It's also home to the worst level design ever (Mission 8, AFAICT). Shallow story, but it wraps it up in the least. Well, there's also killing more Scarabs, which is awesome.

Both the Halo series and the HL series have their merits, but it's hard to compare them, imo.

I personally didn't like matchmaking. I personally liked going into pubs ala PC FPSes. Trying to find a match at midnight (CST) was usually hell because nobody could be matched with me. It was slow when I was already falling asleep.

Not to say that matchmaking doesn't have its pros, but I want to play a quick big team battle game on a specific map with a specific setting or goto a custom setup quickly, but not necessarily need to have any pals on XBL. One plus, though, is that if I climbed the ladder up, there would be natural communication between mates, and I'd say in some instances it does outweigh the cons.
