Wow. CS2, for free? They're *current* products are buggy as hell. Their legacy vulns make MS look rock solid by comparison. Caveat emptor, man.

okay, so 1) you people talkin' about waiting all night in line? you're posting on /. so I know you know about this Intarwebnet thing. You must be line-waiting for the fulfilment of some sort of weird social interaction fetish, cause I've gotten tickets to every event, movie premier, concert, etc that I've wanted to attend by purchasing tickets online the moment they're released. If you wanna lay on the floor in a sleeping bag in front of your computer for two days prior, that's totally up to you. and 2, on the bid-for-tickets thing? that's capitalism for you. There'll still be scalpers...they'll pay more, they'll have lower margins, but they're not going anywhere. Yeah, maybe ticketmaster will make more...but if performers & venues handle their contracts correctly, so will the athletes/entertainers/artists, the venue, etc. In the end, everybody wins. Except students, hippies, and anyone below the upper-middle class. Ah, capitalism.
