Don't get me wrong, im all for security, and pressuring vendors to fix their code, and pivx *did* give them a longer turnaround window than most exploit hunters. I just wish the priority for valve would be to baseline their cpu usage. as others have said, a trade off would be worth it, give some grand new feature that make up for the cpu usage, that we can turn off. ultimately valve, you can patch security holes at your leisure, and people will flame, then forget. But one thing that a lot of us admins won't stop harping on is increased CPU usage. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
