I can see dead memes!

Since almost everything on the right would be located in /home/ on the left, it should include some of the subdirectories of %windir%\

Interesting... I got the retail version back then and it was bundled with Steam and did check your account on every start (or required a steam client running with the title in the library). It even had a warning label on the box stating that it needed a steam account and that the CD key would be linked to your account. But I do not remember it using Securom. Which checks out, as I vaguely remember buying I after Christmas.

Maybe it got removed later? I can find some discussions in the steam forums arguing about the drm from about 10 years ago, and other more recent discussion where people are wondering why it has no more drm - e.g. this comment describing the same procedure as I did above

Fun fact: My Steam accounts lists that it was created in July 31st 2004, although Steam was released on September 12th 2004. I guess they just added a random date on old accounts that didn't have a date registered?

Wait... Half Life 2 is the game that forced me to install steam, create an account and wasn't playable without it is "now" in this list and is DRM free?

Companies need to get comfortable not owning my money!

Not really. It's a composite word consisting of the word "rund" (round, circular) and "Funk" (wireless, radio). So basically it just means circular radio [waves] or [sending/emitting] radio [waves] in all directions.

Which is quite literally what a Radio or TV broadcast does.

Obligatory

"Nuuk-u-lar"! It's pronounced "Nuuk-u-lar"!

It’s the other way round: Education makes for less gullible people and for workers that demand more rights more freely and easily - and then those are coming for their yachts…

In the end it's about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,...) and you'd not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the "worth" of the damages (read: the taxpayer,....), then it's cheaper to use these services instead of humans.

This reminds me of that work from home employee that just "outsourced" his own job to China from a few years ago...

The problem isn't that it can't get wet. The problem is that it mustn't get wet.
