Yes I'm running using Windows, and no I'm not using IE ( I use Firefox and Thunderbird ) I'm also behind a hardware firewall. As far as I'm concerned steam is a back door to my machine and security risk.
Internet Explorer doesn't constitute all of security problems with Windows. Maybe you should have a read here:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/200502_windows.mspx
The point that I'm trying to make is that you are complaining about running a program that you say is a 'security risk' on an operating system that IS a security risk.

Where do I get to choose what files, maps and models I have?
You don't. And that's the point.
If I wanted to make all my models bright pink so they would easier for me to see everyone else while I'm playing or make all the textures see-through so I would know where everyone was, it wouldn't be very fair for everyone else playing online, now would it?

Steam is all about giving Valve total control over their game on your machine. They have the power to update it, lock it, delete it, fuck it up completely, make their files grow until you run out of disk space and if it's your system disk you may end up screwed because your machine won't reboot.
And
If Steam doesn't die the horrible death it deserves then I think more and more people will switch to consoles for gaming. I use my computer for more than just games and I value my security and don't trust any software house enough to give them a back door onto 'MY' computer.
And you are posting from what OS? Windows?

Steam and all that |

Well, since I posted off topic, I should post on topic, huh?
I used to hate Steam; it was problematic to get going in the beginning and I didn't like the idea of Valve knowing when I play games.
That was until 2 things happened:
1) Steam started working right.
2) I realized that even games that check for updates when they load can basically be changed to do the same thing.
I have EZ-Pass, for crying out loud! The state government knows I pass the tollbooth every day at 8am at 20MPH on my way to work and 5:35pm at 25MPH on my way home after work. Some people here are bitching about how Steam is 'watching them'. Hello?! Are you forgetting that just about everything we do today has a paper trail of some kind? The arguement is pointless.
If you use a cell phone, send e-mail, or use Reward Zone points at Best Buy, someone somewhere is watching you.

I doubt the news article is bogus. And I'm not being sarcastic - I would have used my <sarc> </sarc> tags for that! I'll change my post to make it a little clearer.

I'd call a military jet a WMD. Especially if it has a dangerous payload of say...anthrax or something.
I don't mean to get off topic, but:

DNF is the car wreck of the gaming world - you know you shouldn't look, but you can't help it.
You're right - I can't help but look. But at the same time, I getting tired of the rubber-necking.

You seriously have to wonder if any money 3DR makes on this game will help them recover the endless funds they've put into making it so far.
I think we should call for a boycott of any news that involves DNF.

I love how they are calling cheaters "bad guys" lol. Next it'll be the terrorists.
<sarc>
Woohoo! Just another excuse for this administration to invade your property and bomb your house out of existance.
Of course, they will claim that cheaters are like Al Queda - decentralized and difficult to find. But make no mistake, George Bush is gonna smoke you out!!

I think people are forgetting that the President dresses like a civilian, but the bulk of his activities are something that a military commander does. The guy should be wearing a full military uniform, if he wanted to be honest.
No. The President is not a military officer; he is the civilian leader of our government. Presidents USE the military (similar to the way one would use a tool) to carry out or enforce United States foreign policy.
I am curious: What constitutes a 'bulk' of the Presidents duties that are something a military commander does?

Re: Satellite thing |
Sep 2, 2004, 16:54 |

I had a friend that had his “professionally” installed, and it was always crapping out on him. I got some info from the satellite provider and using a little simple trigonometry I discovered the installer had it facing almost the opposite direction it needed to be (and as I referenced to earlier, it was not tightened down properly).
Thats why I opted to stick with dialup until cable finally came to my area. I put up my own Dish and never had any problems while people that lived on my road kept telling horror stories like the one you told.
I don't know how an installer can fuck up an installation - you only have 3 axis to worry about - and they GIVE you the angles and data for all 3 - all you have to do is match the hash marks on the dish for 2 of them and know how to use a compass.

Tigger - My main point was that you still have the phone line hooked up/used with satellite - not like most broadband connections.
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to sound like a smart ass - but message boards (like e-mail) are tonedef. Sorry about that.
