Even a decade after its release, Counter Strike remains one of the
most popular games on the Internet. Through a seemingly endless series
of updates and user-created content, the game has managed to stay fresh
while always sticking to its original award-winning formula. One of the
biggest changes has been its integration into Steam - Valve's
multiplayer match-making and content distribution service.
1. Download and launch Steam. It is free to download Counter Strike and is now required to access its multiplayer component.
2. Select the "My Games" tab in the center of the Steam Client. Click the "Activate a product on Steam" tab.
3. Enter the CD key when prompted. If you have a retail version of
Counter Strike, enter the key that came with the packaging. If not, you
will have the option of purchasing a new key.
4. Launch Counter Strike after it has finished installing. On the
main menu, click "Browse" to see a listing of the servers available.
5. Double click the server you want to join. The game will start
immediately if you have the necessary files. Some servers use files
(maps, character skins, etc) not included with the game. The game will
automatically download those files for you when you try to join.

How to Copy and Download Video from YouTube for Mac
You can download YouTube videos onto Mac using OS X's Web browser, Safari. Just open the YouTube video in the browser and then use Safari's "Activity" menu to locate the source video file on the page. Every YouTube video streams footage to users by connecting to an original video file stored on the YouTube servers. Safari's "Activity" window allows you to access that source file and copy it to your computer.
1. Open the Safari Web browser on your computer. Safari comes installed with every Mac computer. Navigate to the YouTube video you want to download.
2. Click the "Play" button on the video. Press and hold the "Command", "Option" and "A" keys on your keyboard. The Safari "Activity" window opens.
3. Scroll down the list files in the window. Closely examine the size of the files. Almost all of them are just a few kilobytes. Look for the one file in the list that is several megabytes or larger. The largest file in the list is always a source video file.
4. Double-click the source video file from the list. Safari automatically begins downloading it to your computer.

How to Download YouTube Songs Onto iTunes
Converting a file from YouTube to an MP3 file is not as difficult as some might think. YouTube files are called flv files. Because they are audio and video files, to save them as mp3 files, the video must be stripped and the audio must be saved. Fortunately, there is a free program online that will do this for you.
1. Go to YouTube.com and find the file that you want to convert. The file can be anything from a music video to a lecture in a college classroom. The only prerequisite is that there must be audio. When you have found the right video, click on the address bar and select "Ctrl+ C" to copy the URL address.
2. Type into your browser the site, www.flvtomp3.com. Wait for the page to load. At the top of the page, make sure the button next to the words "By URL" are selected.
3. Paste the website address that you copied in step 1 into the text box on the page. Paste the text by either selecting "Ctrl+ V" or by right-clicking and choosing "Paste" from the menu that appears. Click "OK" at the bottom of the page next to "I Accept the Terms."
4. Be patient as the next page opens and begins to load. A status bar at the top of the page will show the status of the file being downloaded. Once the status bar says "Status Complete," click on the "Convert" button on the bottom of the page.
5. Wait for a window to open that asks you what you want to do with the downloaded file. In this window, click the circle next to "Open File." Then click on the drop box in the window and select iTunes from the list. Click "OK." The iTunes program will open, and the song will begin to play.

How to Copy DVD Files to Your Computer Drive
Backing up your DVDs to a computer is one of the best ways to protect them from wear-and-tear and preserve them for years to come. Although some DVD-authoring programs are intimidating, backing your movies up isn't that hard. With the right software and the following tips, even a beginner can lock those precious memories away for years to come.
1. Download DVD Shrink. Expensive editing suites like Nero work great if you've got them, but DVD Shrink is free and does an excellent job of making simple backups.
2. Load the DVD into your computer's DVD drive.
3. Wait for the drive to recognize the disc, then open DVD Shrink. You can find the program's shortcut in the "Programs" menu of the Start Menu. You can also double-click its icon on the desktop.
4. Click on "Open Disc" in the main program window. Select your DVD drive from the list of drives and click "OK."
5. Wait for the program to finish analyzing and compressing the DVD data. This can take some time, depending on the speed of your drive and the processing power of your computer.
6. Look over the compression data before backing the disc up. Check the percentage in the "Video" field to make sure it's not too low. Anything above 50 percent should look and sound close to the original.
7. Click the "Backup!" button in the main window to save your movie to your computer's hard drive.
