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.

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.
