The side effect is, though, that the Steam server can detect when you're using an altered binary, and I want to have access to Steam.
If you don't need the CD, why the hell does HL2 tell me "Wrong CD inserted" every time I try to play.

I have to eject whatever I had in earlier and put the first HL2 disk in. What's the point of Steam authentication if it doesn't make life easier for the player? Grrr
