No no no, don't use plain Wine! Get Cedega, which natively supports Steam and HL2. It's like ?1 a month, or $2 for you americans.
38_98, stop bashing Steam. I have encountered no bugs in Steam since the beta testing stage.
Urb, that'll learn ya for not backing up!

For your mouse, grab a program called logitech_applet. It let's you change the dpi to 800, which you can't do without this app. You also need libusb to use logitech_applet. And as for your graphics card, go on nvidia's site and grab the official drivers.
It's such ashame they removed those shadows! 
No, it wasn't the beta. No 1337 shadows, or mad scientist skins.
Wow, the MS Blaster is still out there? I've been running an unpatched Windows 200o SP3 installation on my other HDD for months, without an antivirus or even a firewall. I haven't hit any problems yet! Although, that may be because I never use it.
Ever seen a Japanese toilet? haha, they are great!!

DDR prices depend on the chips. I am using some old-skool Winbond BH-5 stuff, it's pretty expensive for old stuff, but very desirable. The newer stuff (Winbond UTT-BH) is ok, but dies really quickly. Old BH-5 is so goddamn strong, I've ran mine at 4.2v for 6 hours, and it hasn't been detrimental to the RAM's overclocking. Great stuff, but very very expensive, ?110 for 1GB.
Zl, Enemy Territory was actually an official Id Software add-on to RTCW, but John Carmack wasn't happy with their progress so they gave it to Splash Damage to develop, and they removed the single-player and turned it into an online-only game. Although, if you buy the GOTY edition of RTCW, they included Enemy Territory (not sure if it had single-player or not since I have the original limited-edition RTCW tin :)).

wolfenstein 4? RTCW was the third wolfenstein game. There was the ancient Castle Wolfenstein platformer, then Wolfenstein 3D, then Return to Castle Wolftenstein.

Layout is a bit more laid out. And some PHP shit added, but it's still in progress.

Trust Seventh to point out spelling mistakes! 
Ok, update, added sideboxes! Not sure if they work in any browser other than Firefox yet though.
Yet another site design in progress! It works ok on Firefox, and afaik, in Opera, IE has a couple of minor bugs, but that's just IE, we all know that it sucks and doesn't conform to standards. http://h4x.myftp.org/~joe/NEW - I am working on some PHP shit for it, which I will sort out another time. But for now you can gaze at the wonderfulness that is CSS! 
Hmm, the original HL box on the nostalgia site is different from mine..... and mine didn't come with WC either.
That pic of Barney standing next to that blue zombie, in the beta, made it onto the back of the HL original box (pre-GOTY). I should know, I have an original 1998 box Way before mods were even supported.

They didn't rebuild hardly any of the game infact, they only implemented stronger anti-piracy crap, afaik.

Well, I've pretty much been using Steam since it's beta testing days, and I can safely I've encountered no problems like that, except for some wierd pre-release nonsense.
Welcome back
Will people stop bashing Steam all the time? Steam is actually a very good little application, from a technical standpoint at least. And I've had no trouble with it so far.
Starting stupid little mods when theres not chance of them being actually finished is just stupid. Even if you did make the mod, it would be so fucking far from "THE BEST MOD EVER!!". I was like that when developing Black-Death. We got a few maps down then we all lost the motivation and it slowly died.
I "emerge -uDv world". Now I wait a good few long hours...
flyingduck you noob, Apache is a server 
M_gargantua, unless I am using Linux, I use Windows 2000. I've used XP in the past, it may be more cuddly and userfriendly, but 2000 is the superior operating system to XP since it's built for production use, not home use.
M_gargantua, I don't have any idea yet! Still haven't started planning my gauss gun yet. I gotta try making telsa coils one day, I've actually seen telsa coils, but never attempted building them. Funny electrical arcs yay!
No, I'm building a real one. Full-size, but small enough to be handheld, kinda like machine-gun size. It's gonna be pricey, but ubercool!
txtShout isn't a cbox service, it's just a text-database version of cBox, which can be hosted on your own server! Don't get them confused. txtShout is better if you want no ads, and have a PHP server. BlueBox is just the old txtBox + cBox site.
OHH, I get it, Coil, heh.
Coil guns are Gauss guns, just a different name

Highlander, Compatability Mode doesn't to ANYTHING except fake the OS build numbers and strings, and disable various parts of the OS such as theming and true-color. Put it this way: Windows 2000 > Windows XP.

Completely redesigned my desktop! Now I have a purple/dark grey GTK theme (fits in with my Gentoo wallpaper) and those icons from /usr/share/icons/gentoo/l33t which magicly appeared earlier when I was emerge'ing random packages.
DON'T GET DUAL CORE YET!! Whatever you do! They run incredibly hot and offer no real-world performance boost, unless you run workstation apps that are SMP aware. I would recommend a nice AMD A64 Venice rig instead Or, get an old Asus P4C800-E, a Pentium M socket adaptor and a Pentium M 730. I'm going that route soon, Pentium M's beat FX55's in many benchmarks, since they have the shortest pipeline ever to appear on a modern CPU. I think it's ~10 stages or something ridiculously small.

Scrap the official client and go for GAIM! I believe there's a windows version around somewhere. Oh, and it supports every protocol in existance, including AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, IRC, Yahoo and a few I haven't even heard of.
