Left 4 Dead 2. What happened?

Its no fun playing online with random people. In my case, they always seemed to know too much about the levels, so i felt like i was on a guided tour of the level with a drill sergeant. "Go here, its a better spot to wait for the oncoming rush." or "turn this way, its statistically safer."

U.S. Government To Try And Make 'Jailbreaking' Legal

A corporation is allowed to use money as part of their freedom of speech, but i can't use a smidgen of code because i might do some thing illegal? Ridiculous. I don't care if people are more likely to break laws because of freedoms. Limiting my freedom to express my self like this is wrong.
