I don't think so, that's why it states internet connection required on the box.

I don't know of any. Screw the game anyway. Valve's anti-piracy method is
so stupid and offensive, that personaly I'm considering not buying any game
from them again.

I think it's because nowadays virtually no-one don't have internet access.
Internet is getting to be like the household telephone

Sure. If you wanna pay 60 euros per month for dsl 384, be my guest...  
Me, I won't pay that kind of money. I prefer the shared pc I'm currently
sitting in front of. Anyway, the point is that although everyone has access
to the net, it doesn't mean that this access is available *at home*.

There are too many free pay-as-you-go 56k services around. Could log on to one
of those for activation and it won't cost you more than 10 pence (0.14 Euros) :]

Actually there is... I do it all the time. You have to set up Steam to
remember
your password. Then it gives you the option to start up in offline mode.
