Started playing SCOP. Well, being a long time Stalker fan, I got addicted very fast and immersed very deeply. IMHO this is a lot better than Stalker CS. Obviously, or traditionally it came out very buggy. I got patch 1.6. something so it's so far so good for me. Hopefully I wont' have any crashes once I get to Pripyat to get those calibration tools ;) Finally, after 3 years and 3 games GSC implemented sleep. Good, because the zone is a lot creepier at night...

Friggin morons! Or at least, one more imbecile in the executive chair get his way. They know the show has large following, but just because it's being watched more on DVR and not live to enjoy commercials they can the show. Putting it on Friday night and then expecting people to watch it live? Who would want to watch a show live while DVRs are getting more and more ground. So, if I don't see that idiotic enzyte dude 5 times in an hour, the show isn't worth it apparently...

Well, my Pio VSXis alive after all. Disconnected cable from the center speaker shorted and that's what caused the receiver to turn of as soon as the input was to center channel. Go figure. Interestingly that only happened with the DVR, neither PS3 nor Xbox 360 had that effect, just center was muted... On the knives related note, interactive knife steel database project coming to an end...

Shish :( My 2 years old Pioneer VSX-84TXSi kicked the bucket yesterday. To be precise 2 front channels. It's been so long since I've watched TV in non surround, didn't notice how much better it was compared to TV speakers. Now for the repairs... Sux, big time...

Well, probably this one is a contender for the stupidest. Tragedy in the the Winnenden school led to the proposal to ban paintball and lasertag?!? Come on, how much of an idiot a lawmaker can be to propose that. Germany already has laws against computer games. They either have to be altered(Half Life had robots instead of soldiers) to meet their requirements, or banned altogether. In Germany military service mandatory. Every guy goes to the army and learns how to shoot and kill with real weapons and live ammo. But the same person can't play paintball and lasertag? As for the Germans asking to ban handguns and high caliber weapons, read your own history, alright? Back in 1930s Hitler did do that and where did it lead Germany and the world is pretty well documented.

Well, I've been following the whole saga, and it's hilarious. CNBC, Cramer and others did deserve it 150%. Sadly, comedy show is reporting more objective news than those who's job is to report news. Scarborough is a real moron though. Why should Stewart tell us what the stock market will do, he's a comedian. Unlike Cramer and the rest of CNBC shill journalists, he's not getting bunch of people to loose their lives' savings. Seeing how pissed of those guys are, Stewart did hit the spot.

Added popup menus for the main menu items. Now, form the main menu bar frame you can access most of the key pages in all sections.

Too much hassle maintaining 4 different color schemes for 2 sites, plus java applets need support in code and so on. This will do :)
