You need the Source SDK for one thing. ;)

Check out the Source SDK Documentation
http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/

As well as the VERC itself

All computer will take a hit running higher poly models in Half-Life!
As for the SHB, it wasn't exactly designed for a 32 player DM. It's being ported to Source as we speak.

Your modem is probably a Winmodem. If I remember correctly, the problem with Winmodems is that there is a chip missing that Linux needs to run the modem.

You have two choices: Purchase a different modem or emulate the chip (Google for Linmodem).

Umm...

Your first one refers to Personal Habit.
Your second one seems to refer to a lack of skill. It's a very biased comment. You can't expect to be brilliant from the word go.
Your third one is confusing. That's NEVER happened to me.
Your last 4 points all repeat each other.

I had never used Steam before I bought HL2. So I can talk from a relativelly unbiased viewpoint because I don't have any past mistakes from Steam that I've had to deal with. I don't find it too much of a hiderence.

I doubt that a program like this exists. Your FPS will take a hit when running high poly models.

One thing I don't understand is why: From what I remember, your computer can't even run animated GIF's properly, let alone high poly models. If it could run high poly models, why not just map for HL2?

Dude, security.

They've obviously commited a lot of research into Steam and came to the conclusion that Steam was the best way to go to ensure a better way to secure their game. After that source code leak, they became dedicated towards it.
Most people that play their games have the Internet. It's a fact. There is a minority that do not. So, to ensure that the game remained secure and was able to reach as many as possible, they chose validation over Steam. Simple.

As Trapt said, the architecture is definately achievable in Hammer. It would require a fair bit of Vertex Manipulation, so make sure you're fairly competent in it before undertaking the task.
You could also use Displacements to get the curved effect behind the water rush. Check the SnarkPit for more info.

Steam doesn't exactly suck. It may be flawed in ways, but it is a very good way to distribute updates as well as solve hosting issues.
I've had no major problems with it since I bought HL2 and was forced to install it. Perhaps it hasn't cursed me yet, who knows. ;)

The difference between Opera and FF users is that we've got a bloody good arguement. ;)
