who be dat? left a note on my windscreen which said:
You might want to get out and read a bit here and there. This is the real deal. It's not just HL2, but Team Fortress 2 as well. It's possible to compile this stuff to .exe's using Visual Studio .Net. All that's needed to play are the textures. I suggest going to http://www.warp2search.net/ and doing a search on this stuff. Yes. I dug around a bit more and I do agree it's real. -- Stoneskin [Insert sig here] |

Comments about siccing the FBI on it make me laugh sorry. In watching the
news we see reports all the time on how hackers waltz around our brilliant FBI so asking the community to help might get better results I think but hey whatever. Sad truth is they has been so much in the way of innuendo, blame conspiracy theories etc surrounding this game I expect to see an Arnie S movie, maybe T4-Enter the HalfLife or something. ....opps I hear knocking at the door, prolly Ashcroft come to get me before I hit post and put something on the web expressing less than faith in our government hehe "Derek Wildstar" wrote in message . net... "John Lewis" wrote in message ... When is the next Valve smoke-screen ? Time to put Gabe postings in a kill-file ? Life will go on just fine with or without HL2. That this was a staged release for publicity/mis-information is unlikely since the authorities are involved, that's playing russian roulette with nothing to gain, since the loss lessens the perceived value of the game. That said, you're spot on with the leaky steam obscuring the valve. There's a bigger story waiting to be told. |

"who be dat?" wrote: That inside job comment has me wondering. Like Ho Alexandre observed in another response (and was something that didn't occur to me at all), hard to believe the info from the key logger program/virus/whatever was transmitted through the firewall without them seeing it although it's certainly possible. Chris Smith I am well versed in information security, and even the most robust operational procedures can be circumvented when a trusted member violates protocol. All security paradigms must be rooted in trust, and the vetting process, that process which assigns the Standard of 'Trusted', failed. When a failure does occur the first element you invesitage is personnel, without exception. To sum in modern parable: Don't leave the fox in charge of the digital chicken coop. Where was Jimmy Hoffa when all this happened? |

I think its the real deal, it would have been refuted by now if it wasn't, and it was quoted by Gabe himself on the halflife2.net forum. After I posted this I found the Gabe posting you mention. Certainly adds alot of validitidy to it, I agree. I find it pretty negligent and downright stupid to have critical stuff like this on an internet enabled PC. I agree. That was my first thought when I read about this. Valve is not a small, struggling software company. I'd think they'd be able to keep their code on a closed LAN with no access to the outside. But unfortunatly, some ****** from outside Valve released the copy that they where given to evaluate on there companys hardware. nVidia? ATI? someone was upset about it's performance, a spitfull move I think, from someone outside of Valve. |

That's pretty unrealistic - machines are connected these days, end of story. But that said, all companies, mine included, keep critical and sensitive data on machines which are fully connected, but also fully secured against unauthorised access (in so much as much as you can be 'fully' secure). That's the only difference. |
