i keep those small packages(like the ones form vga's) a lot longer, just to store stuff inside them(screws, antistatic-bags, placeholders, manuals, etc..). at least i wouldnt worry about any trouble, just add a small notice to the photocopy of your voucher, saying that your accidently...

ah, nearly forgot about this celine-thing(love the mad-tv epsiode). have to reconsinder my oppinion about the canadians immediately. is she more one of those sezessive french or an english speaking canadian? btw, who give us britney?

was the one to million exchange rate not something what occured with the italian lira? most people like the canadian, they are sort of "plentyfull-santa claus". talking bad about them is like being against swedish girls(or boys, if this is more your taste).

yeah, mostly i know how it works, this was just a piece of sarcasm. isn't dod:s developed by valve? so it cannot called a mod anyway now.

in fact i didn't bought the voucher, but ati did. i received mine as a bonus with my radeon-card, "for free". ati should handle this, because a lot of people bought ati-cards a year ago just out of the reason to have the best cards to play the "soon to be" released and in...

personally i dont't bother about dod, even not about cs. but: if the "retailers" will got dod for free when it's released, i'll be pretty annoyed, because the minimum i expected to get from the voucher is the plain retail-version. *sigh*most of the older valve stuff is included too, but for...

no idea if your are in trouble now, just wondering why you register @ati and not within your steam-account.

bought a 9600xt(sapph. fb)a year ago, price was 159,-€, with the voucher included, so the deal cannot called bad :-).

xmas wont do any differences on hl^2's sales. the ones who are allowed to buy it(16+, depends on your local ratings) 've got their own money, so they will buy it nevertheless its xmas or just february. xmas is much more important for hardware sales and kiddiestuff(spoken for computer business).

it depends on the localizations. if everyone wordlwide gots the us-retail, it will take around 1-2 weeks, around a week more with partial localization(aka translating subtitles) and much more with full localization(dialogues, gameplay changes). oh, and i forget, if they plan a worldwide...

for sure there will come some additional sounds and textures, also the models dont seem to be complete. maps of course, the engine itself, and the "activation thing". ah, and dont forget the usual stuff like 100mb's of corporate intro video. after gold approvement sounds quit logical, no use...

it's kind off ot, so take a look on your own.

perhaps they are encrypted, perhaps they are only slightly different. a wav isn't equal wav, only because of the file-extension. if they are really encrypted, how will they solve the decryption? create a gcf with unencrypted files? unpacking and decrypting? decrypting during runtime? last one...

c'mon, linux isnt this complicated. ist only a question of choosing the dist for your needs. beginners can start very well with suse or fedora(formerly known as redhat) or a ready to start linux on cd like knoppix. my personal favourite is debian, in a mixture of woody and sid. you can have...

nope, they werent encrypted. its only a matter of the approbiate tool to open/convert/view those textures, format-specifig yes, encrypte, no. these soundfiles are different, not sure if these are in a valve-defined format(using wav as a container, like avi for xvid), and you only need a...

...before you're going to change the server you should take a look at the builtin traffic monitor. sometimes steam seams to swallow the decimals. btw, 96 k/s here, with dual isdn. even here not the full bandwidth. still convinced that sitting and starring at the preload, just to hit...

as i remember, there has been an interview with gabe, approx a year ago, in which he stated that everyone will be surprised by the mp-mode of hl2. and, cs as the mp-part of hl2 is not something i would call, hm, surpising. have to look for the link.... edit: found it -> take a look for...
