I agree. Weaseling out of things is an important thing to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.

Not true. This is from a twitter chat with the devs just a few weeks ago, on April 30:
Q: For several Australian players at a LAN, who have logged into a custom Battle.net game, will the game be local once initiated?
A: You'll be connected through Battle.net. However, we're locating game servers more strategically to allow the best possible game experience from where you play. For Australia we are by default routing games through the Oceanic region which should provide a much lower latency experience.

I'm rank 42, I play probably 90% domination and 10% team deathmatch (not ground war) and I haven't seen a single person I would call a cheater, unless you count a few people who hacked their rank.

If VW offered jettas for 100$ and you only gave them that, they would be out of business and then noone would ever offer a car that low again.
So how much did you donate to your dealer above the minimum asking price last time you bought a car?
I feel tremendously bad if you teach your kids the same sentiment: "lie/cheat/steal/abuse/take/copy do what ever it takes to get what you want in life w/o regard for others"

It may have just been a matter of timing, but I was totally disappointed in HL2. All that hype and anticipation during that long wait
And the long wait continues. It's been nearly 2 years since Episode 2 came out and they haven't released a single iota of information about Episode 3 yet. I can only assume because they don't have anything to show. And to think that they went with the episodic format to make releases faster.

The summary is wrong, this isn't an open beta, it's the game being released.

Eclipsed in the fact that Valve keeps releasing updates for TF2 and not CS:S, but not eclipsed at all with player base size. CS:S still has the most players of any Steam game by far. If you add up the people playing CS:S and the original CS, it has more players than all the other Steam games combined. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Despite Sun's OpenOffice.org developer Malte Timmermann's claims to the contrary this kind of embedded scripting attack represents a real threat to OpenOffice.org users.
Back in June 2000 when Sun first announced the open sourcing of OpenOffice.org the twelfth email to the open discussion list put forward a two part solution for to provide OpenOffice users with Safe(r) Scripting using restricted mode execution by default and access by signed digital certificates. In October 2000 the issue of treating security as an "add-on" feature rather than a "system property" was again raised. Is it time to now introduce such measures to the OpenOffice.org Core to greatly reduce any future risk from scripted infections?"
