Wow - 30 minutes and not one post complaining about ATI driver quality.

I'm impressed.

I just don't see why many people waste so much time over this stupid guy? Don't you guys have anything better to do?

I've participated in this kind of thread before regarding Derek, but this time I'm staying out of the 'topic' part of it. But knowing this community, I'll bet that this thread will easily get more than 50 replies.

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:

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

Feb 7, 2005, 22:57

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.

Re: Oh yes

Feb 7, 2005, 22:33

do you mean that news article is bogus? Or is the original poster being sarcastic?

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:

OMG! You bought that shit hook, line and sinker!?

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!!

Re: Pres is military

Nov 23, 2004, 09:52

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?
