If 7 is a joke, then 1 is a ....?

Mine had an error message last Friday, which prevented the offline mode. I
had turned off the automatic update the day before, and yet the next day it
was downloading something. Couldn't play until Steam had updated
itself...again.

i'm truly glad you say that
and we must be consistent and stay always true to ourselves
do you think its easy being deprived of hl2? no its not but
its a sacrifice we all must do
hl2 is just one game and its nothing compared with valve plans
steam is a too big of a change to be taken lightly
so showing our opposition to steam has to be done in all ways
.. complaining against it in whatever places he feel appropriate
.. boycotting and not buying the product in any circumstance
.. helping others get the info so they can decide for themselves

the fate of pc games is in our hands
we have the power to either let valve win and impose/dictate
steam on us all or instead we can defend our rights and keep
pc games a consumer friendly product with freedom and choice

saying yes to steam is very easy and the truly difficult path
is actively opposing it
its so clear in this story, valve are the bad guys, steam is
the weapon causing damage and we the opposition are the heroes
now the question is will this story have an happy ending?
will the good guys win?
that's the question Schrodinger you must ask yourself cause
you and every single pc gamer in the world will write the
ending in this story so its just a matter of choosing what
ending will it be

I never claimed WinRAR was a lossy compression algorith. I said JPEG was.

If you can prove otherwise come back & I will apologise.

That reasoning is so bereft of any logic I just have to sit down because my
head is spinning.

Why not, if it's adequately secured?
