Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Nov 17, 2004 7:21pm PSTWorking my way through Half-Life 2 and having a grand old time. I did manage to find a bug and get stuck in a wall in Ravenholm but luckily I had saved just a few seconds before that. I think I'm around halfway through. Lets take a break for ER though!

Is it possible to actually play the game without an internet connection? I bought the game for a friend and thought you only needed to get Steam and auth the game with an internet connection, and that subsequently you could play the SP game without a connection.
But after attempting to play the game myself after authing it and updating it and launching it many many many times.. I found that I couldn't re-launch the game without a connection present. Anyone got the low-down?

Someone at Valve did thier research! golf clap
Of course ZPE could be used for almost anything, most commonly associated with a future propulsion method. Then again it's also stated in a context of being similar to what cold fusion could provide, eg. basically unlimited free energy. As far as gravity manipulation read the section about "CONNECTION TO INERTIA AND GRAVITATION"

So I got this 75gb external firewire hard drive. Everything working fine. I turn the external off (power button on it). I reboot the next day, and then turn the drive back on once Im in windows. Some reason its not showing. So I figure I need to reboot with the drive on. I reboot, I blue screen, and my original IDE hard drive is dead. Can't install Windows on it. Says something about needing BIOS.INF. Have tried multiple Windows XP CD's, and get the same message. Any ideas? Is my IDE just dead? Im ordering a new Sata drive today, and Im going to take the external out to the street and run it over.

It mentions him wanting to bash corporate radio, by giving out Sirius Satalite radios and smashing old radios. ???? Isn't Sirius kinda the same thing? I mean with radio, how many big companies are there? With Satalite radio there are what, two? I dont know if corporate ownership is Howard's big problem with radio. I think the article kinda makes it sound that way. I think everyone knows the real reason he is jumping to satalite is to get away from the censorship and regulation.

There was a lot of discussion after the Locke episode that the island is magical/mystical, to which I disagreed. I have felt that we are geting plenty of story each week and I feel after this last, we can pretty much determine that these are not dead people, and the island is not magic.
