A lot of the moderators are too young to recall anything prior to 2000. They might not have noticed the "invasion in early 90s" because they didn't even recall that a war had happened, and just assumed "Iraq invasion" referred to Bsuh, Cheney, and so on.
Seeing as we didn't "invade" Iraq in the early 90's and the current war is much bigger it is understandable were people would be confused. Not to mention the fact that the Euro wasn't even around in 1990 so i don't know why we would go to war because Iraq was going to start selling oil in a currency that was still 2+ years from being used anywhere.
In Gulf Storm we did enter Iraq but did not invade it in a traditional sense. We even had truly legitimate reasons for going into Kuwait and removing the Iraqi forces.

Hmmm, uhhhh, I think not.

Happens to break into your account? How does that happen?
I'd like to know your opinion on online banking.
I've had my account hacked after playing CS:S for the first time in 5 years. They have some way to get your account info if you connect to certain servers. Trust me i didn't give my account info away or even have a weak re-used password. I got an email confirming that my password was changed then that my email was changed. I email Valve within 20 minutes of the last email and got no response for almost 2 weeks.
So its very possible for your account to get hacked and them to take a long time to fix it in which case if the account hijacker hacks on a VAC server your account will be banned and even if they see it was hijacked during that time will not unban you.
Don't get me wrong I still use Steam and that was the only bad experience I've had with them.

Alright I knew it was the Cubs season to win it all!
Such as?
Whoosh
My only question is, the alleged hacking took place in 2004, how does it take until 2010 for it to be presented as news on Slashdot?
Sounds about right for Slashdot.
To give a seemingly unrelated example, the USA income tax was "temporary". It's temporary alright, in the sense that one day the sun will stop shining...
Amendments to the constitution are rarely temporary...
