If there were a textfile to be tweaked everyone would be setting their numbers to whatever they wanted, maybe setting the count to be some letter... or image, or html/javascript link.

I think your employer only wants your work computer to be used for work. They (should) know all the security settings and all the applications that are on it. If they have to fix their computer your games are at risk of being deleted (shouldn't be there, but you somewhat fixed it). But still, all those registry entries for steam and valve and your games exist which means next time they examine it they might have a problem with you, wipe your game disk (how would they know for sure you don't bring work home on that thing), re-initialize your computer(Do you log onto a domain that can both check and enforce against extra programs?), and maybe give you a boot to the unemployment line.
And even if you brought your own computer with games, I sure wouldn't want that thing crawling around on my business network.

Perhaps you have activated "Small mode" from Steam's "View" menu.
Or maybe you activated Window's own screen zoomer called "Magnifier". Certain keystrokes may turn that on, be sure to disable keyboard activation. (Start>Control Panel>Ease of Access might be a good place to start looking)

If there is a chance that you can tolerate WiNE, then download the Windows installer. Launch SteamInstall.msi and you're good to go. Its a bit tough to figure out how to run a non ".exe" file from the command line (unless you like reading up on WiNE), but run winefile and double-click it. Half-Life The Firste runs perfectly, TF2... needs a bit more work(From the developers of WiNE at least).
I'm certain the actual made for linux installer would work just fine, but why do things the simple way?

You would be suprised. Sometimes that progress bar moves backwards as it recalculates how much has been downloaded. I'd start a download (TF2 for example) says 4 hours. After 3 hours it tells me only 6 hours to go, then eventually drops to 1 hour. It does actually finish, so just watch the amount downloaded counter. Hopefully your download doesn't pause itself.

Also I just discovered troll-science:
Turn your monitor on its side so that your progress bar gets a gravity assist.

Have you considered Portal2? I'm pretty sure cross-console was a mentioned feature.

Well a couple months ago Atlantica migrated its way onto steam... Its free-to-play MMORPG and its quite addictive. Don't forget to eat and sleep between quests.
By the way I do tend to agree that Half-Life 2's story is among the best. Play Half-Life 1 to get some of the jokes. BlackMesa Source is out too (A re-write upgrade/new direction of Half-Life 1).

Perhaps you ran into a server admin who is a religious zealot... (your screen name).
Are you able to play on other servers?
Some games let the admin write a message for why you were kicked. On other servers even if there is room there might be player slot reservation. A paying member(of their group) will always get in, kicking you (the public) off.

Your probably gonna get leftover turkey... from Thanksgiving(tomorrow).
If you already know what your getting then it can't be a surprise. Kind of spoils the whole holiday.

Thaskn for spotting my typos. I jsut make them wurse. How does that effect you?

Any hot nurses around?
If ya gotta go... go with a smile!
Unless this is a serious conversation in which case I ask you... Why so serious?
It would probably be a good time to study up on that whole Bible fad going around...
