Is a Walking Dead Videogame About to Be Announced?
And is Sam & Max/Back to the Future developer Telltale making it?
A videogame based on the comic book and television series The Walking Dead may be in the works by a veteran adventure game developer.
According to an invitation we received Wednesday, Sam & Max and Back to the Future episodic game developer Telltale will be announcing five new multi-platform projects during a formal event in San Francisco on Thursday, February 17. Among them, says the invitation, is "one based on a just-launched property from the TV and comic book world whose popularity is changing life as some know it."
The Walking Dead television show, based on the Image Comics series, launched on AMC last October, fitting the vague description admirably. Admittedly we have no actual evidence to support this theory, though the series -- which often focuses on human interactions over zombie killing -- fits Telltale's style of games rather well.
We'll report back if and when we learn more.

you know it will be greatPosted: Jan 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by walkingdead
I hope they do a game, and yes it will be another zombie game, but you can never have to many zombie games! I posted this news up on walkingdeadchat.com as we enjoy anything to do with twd, keep up the good work and make sure you post up any more news.
Ive played this game alreadyPosted: Jan 21, 2011 12:00AM PST by beaver-eater
Not to excited becouse I've already played The Walking Dead game.
Its called Left for Dead 2.
Loved the Walking Dead show but it was very simular to LFD2.
They should have neverPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by yuri_ha
done the tv show, it became lame.
what?Posted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by BoldNothing
There have only been 6 episodes so far. How can it become lame that quick?
awwwPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by smile_kill
bring on the zombies aint nuttn better then taking it out on sum zombie heads
i don't care who makes itPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by just2pale
so long as they keep the whole film noir aspect of the comic. the one thing major thing that i don't like about the tv series is that it is color. yes i know i know, i can already hear the trolls starting to "rabble": a show with no color?! ...but i can understand why they put it in color, i still don't like it. the black and white of the comic added a whole different dimension that many people over-looked.
i would also hope that the game is basically a copy and paste of the comic, unlike the tv show where they took certain liberties with the content
Could be good, might not thoughPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by ShinyMetalDude
I like the sound of this game, hopefully Telltale handles it well and it plays well.
Not sure how I would feel about this....Posted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by residenthero
.....maybe if Bethesda made a sandbox title based in the world and you came accross some of the characters pre story...... Check out the short trailer/tribute I wrote/shot and directed for The Walking Dead!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln-1FdHkVgo
Could be goodPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by theicon1.1up.com
but like nuggular said,why give it to the makers of Sam & Max?.If there's a online mode with up to 6 or 7 people,this will be very,very good.It will be nice to see zombies as their slow selves again like in tradition zombie games and not those track star zombies like in L4D.
AH MAN!Posted: Jan 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by theicon1.1up.com
if Bethesda could get it,this will be a big hit no doubt.
Could be awesome or maybe not at allPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by nastyn800
I'm a big Walking Dead fan, but even I'm about done with this whole zombie trend. If they do something special with it, you can count me in.
I've just had too much of zombies lately. I'm sure I'll be ready for more if/when this game does come out.
I thought "A TV tie-in? EPIC fail"Posted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheRealFearlessCelt
Until I saw that Telltale is doing it.
Please, Please, PLEASEPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by Gixman
Make this happen. i wrote a blog about what comic books i wanted to see as video games and Walking Dead is just one of the comics i mentioned in said Blog. It would be an awesome game to play and it could have multiplayer just like Left 4 Dead has.
I don't think it'll be a shooterPosted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by JohnLampy
Judging by Telltale's other games, it will likely be an adventure game that focuses more on storytelling and theme/mood. Which is actually perfect for the Walking Dead, because the Walking Dead is more about the people than it is about zombies.
So I wouldn't expect frenetic multiplayer action.
Mmm...Posted: Jan 20, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mr.LametoWatch
More zombies games... Tasty...
BraaaaaainsPosted: Jan 21, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mast3rM!nd
yes more Zombiegames i love it ^

Albert Bandura: Social Cognitive Theory of Human Functioning.
Albert Bandura was born in 1925 in Mundare, a small village in northern Alberta, Canada. He was the only male child of six children in a family of Eastern European descent. His parents, though they never went to school, valued education. Bandura"s father taught himself to read in three languages, giving young Albert a great model of self-regulated learning. The concept of self-regulated learning fiqures prominently in modern social cognitive theory.
Young Bandura's elementary and high school years were spent at the one and only school in town, which was extremely short of teachers and resources which largely left the students to their own initative. Despite all of this, virtually all of the school'a graduates went to attend universities all over the world. After high school graduation, and in search of an intellectually challenging climate, Bandura went to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He finished his undergraduate degree in three years(1949), with the Bolocan award in Psychology.. Because he needed a morning class to fill one time slot, he enrolled in intoductory psychology and found his future profession. The impact of his accidental entrance into the world of psychology would influence his theorizing later in his career. Bandura thought that personal initiative often places people into circunstances where good fortune can shape the courses lives take. Rather then treating fortuity as uncontrollibilty, Bandura focused on how to make chance work for one through self-development to exploit fortuitous opportunities. He entered graduate school at the University of Iowa, in 1950, which was considered, at the time, the epicenter of psychological research. Bandura received his M.A. degree in 1951 and his Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1952 under the direction of Arthur Benton. In 1953, Bandura joined the faculty at Stanford University, where he has remained to pursue his career.
Albert Bandura's contributions to psychology have been recognized in numerous honors and awards he has receivced. He was elected to the presidencies of the American Psychological Association (1974) and of the Western Psychological Association (1981), and he was appointed Honorary president of the Canadian Psychological Association. In 1999, Bandura received the Thorndike Award for Distinguished Contributions of Psychology to education from the American Psychological Association. In 2001, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of Behavior Therapy. He has received many other honorary degrees and awards, includung the Outstanding Lifetime Contribution to Psychology Award from the American Psychological Association in 2004.

Albert Bandura"s Social learning theory (Theory that emphazies learning through observation of others) expanded behavioral views of reinforcement and punishment. In behavioral views, reinforcement and punishment directly affect behavior. In social learning theory, seeing another person, a model, reinforced or punished can have similar effects on the observer's behavior. Social cognitive theory expands social learning theory to include cognitive factors such as beliefs, expectations, and perceptions of self.
Learning by observing others is a key element of social cognitive theory. Modeling (Changes in behavior, thinking, or emotions that happen through observing another person) is influenced by the developmental characteristics of the observer, the status and prestige of the model, the consequence of the model's actions as seen by the observer, the observer's expectations about performing the obseved behaviors, the links that the observers perceive between their goals and the models' behaviors, and the observer's self-efficacy (A person's sense of of being able to deal effectively with a particular task). Results from his work on modeling, led Bandura to conduct research on social modeling involving the now famous Bobo doll experiment in the early 1960's. The children in these studies were exposed to social models who demonstrated either violent or nonviolent behaviors towrd these dolls. Children who viewed violent models subsequently displayed violent forms of agression toward the Bobo dolls whereas control children rarely, if ever, did so. These results revealed the occurrence of observational learning in the absence of reinforcenent to the observers. Bandura demonstrated that could learn new patterns of behavior vicariously without actually performing them or receiving rewards.
By the mid-1980's, Bandura had developed a social cognitive theory of human functioning (This theory accords a central role to cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory and self-reflective processes in human adaptation and change). In this view, people are not just reactive organisms shaped by environmental factors or driven by concealed inner impulses. Human functioning is the product of a dynamic interplay of personal, behavioral, and environmental influences. In Bandura's model of triarchic reciprocal causality, people are producers as well as products of their environmment. This system is the dynamic interplay between three kinds of influences: personal, environmental, and behavioral. Personal factors (beliefs, expectations, atitudes, and knowledge), the physical and social environment (resources, consequences of actions, other people, models and teachers, and physical settings), and behavior (individual actions, choices, and verbal statements) all influence and are influenced by each other.
Social cognitive theory has some powerful implications for teaching. Observational learning can lead to five possible outcomes, including directing attention, encouraging existing behaviors, changing inhibitions, teaching new behaviors and attitudes, and arousing emontions. By directing attention, we gain insight into how others do things and what objects are involved in their actions. Encouraging or fine-tuning existing behaviors can lead to the development of good habits or make work more efficient. Observing others also has the capacity to cue us in to others' attention, which can cause us to become more or less self-conscious about our behavior: when others are doing something, it's easier for us to do the same. Everyone can gain insight into how something is done by observing someone else do it. Observing can lead to the association of emotions with certain activities. If others are observed enjoying an activity; the observer may learn to enjoy the activity as well.
In schools, educators are interested in students self-efficacy for learning mathematics, writing, history, science, sports, and other subjects, as well as for using learning strategies and for the many other challenenges that classrooms present. Greater efficacy, according to Bandura, leads to greater effort, persistence in the face of setbacks, higher goals, and finding new strategies when old ones fail. If sense of efficacy is low, however, people may avoid a task altogether or give up easily when problems arise.
One of the few personal characteristics of teachers, according to Bandura, related to student achievement is a teacher's efficacy belief that he or she can reach even difficult students to help them to learn. Teachers with a high sense of of efficacy work harder, persist longer, and are less likely to experience burnout. Teachers' sense of efficacy is higher in schools where the other teachers and administrators have high expectations for students and where teachers receive help from their principals in solving instructional and management problems. Efficacy grows from real success with students, so any experience or training that helps you succeed in the day-to-day tasks of teaching will give you a foundation for developing a sense of efficacy in your career.
One goal of teaching, notes Bandura, should be to free students from the need for teachers, so that students can continue to learn independently throughout their lives. To continue learning independently throughout life, you must be self-regulated or what is known as a self-starter. To reach this goal, students must have a combination of the knowledge, motivation to learn, and volition that provides the skill and will to learn independently and effectively. Knowledge includes an understanding of self, subject, task. learning strategy, and contexts for application. Motivation to learn provides the commitment, and volition is the follow-through that combats distraction and protects persistence.
|SRL Cycle: Plan, Monitor, and Evaluate, with reflection going on throughout the cycle
There are several models of the self-regulated learning cycle. Zimmerman notes three phases: 1.) planning one's
learning. 2.) monitoring progress while implementing the plan, and 3.) evauating the outcome of the plan once it's completed.
Self-regulating learners engage in four types of activities, analyzing the task, setting goals and designing plans, engaging in learning, and adjusting their approach to learning. Teaching students to be more self-regulating might take the form of providing opportunities to identify and analyze the task at hand. Students also may benefit from goal-setting practice. Learning strategies such as identifying important details and developing a big picture of material is the next step in the process. Finally, students need to reflect on whether they were successful and devise strategies for overcomoing shortcomings in their self-regulation process.
Teachers can design tasks and structure classroom interactions to support students' development of and engagement in self-regulated learning. Bandura suggests that students develop acadenically effective forms of self-regulated learning and a sense of efficacy for learning when teachers involve them in complex meaningful tasks that extend over long periods of time. Also, to develop self-regulated learning and self-efficacy for learning, students need to have some control over their learning processes and products. And because self-monitoring and self-evaluation are key to effective SRL and a sense of efficacy, teachers can help students develop SRL, by involving them in setting criteria for evaluting their learning processes and products, and then giving them opportunities to make judgements about their progress using those standards. Finally, it helps to work collaboratively with peers and seek feedback from them.
Educators don't want to assign students complex tasks that are to difficult and that lead to frustration. The most motivating and academically beneficial tasks for students are those that challenge, but don't overwhelm them. The term complex refers to the design of the tasks, not their level of difficulty. From a design point of view , tasks are complex when they address multiple goals and involve large amounts of meaning, for example, projects and thematic units. Furthermore, complex tasks extended over long periods of time, engage students in a variety of cognitive and metacognitive processes, and allow for the production of a wide range of products. Even more important, complex tasks provide students with information about their learning progress. These tasks require them to engage in deep, elaborative thinking and problem solving. In the process, students develop and refine their cognitive and metacognitive strategies. Furthermore, succeeding at such tasks increases students' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation.
Teachers can share control with students by giving them choices. When students have choices (e.g., about what to produce, how to produce it, where to work, whom to work with), they are more likely to anticipate a successful outcome ( increased self-efficacy) and consequently increase effort and persist when difficiculty arises. Also, by involving students in making decisions, teachers invite them to take responsibility for learning by planning, setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluting outcomes.
Giving students choices creates opportunities for them to adjust the level of challenge that particular tasks present. They can choose easy or more challenging reading materials or determine the nature and amount of writing in a report, for example. It is important that teachers carefully consider the choices they give to students. They must make sure students have the knowledge and skills they need to operate independently and make good decisions. Highly effective teachers also teach and model good decision making. Finally, highly effective teachers give students feedback about the choices they make and tailor the choices they give to suit the unique characteristics of particular learners.
Evaluation practices that support SRL, are nonthreatening. They are embedded in ongoing activities, emphasize process as well as products, focus om personal progress, and help students to interpret errors as opportunities for learning to occur. In these contexts, students enjoy and actually seek challenging tasks because the cost of participation is low. Involving students in generating evaluation criteria and evaluating their own work also reduces the anxiety that often accompanies assessment by giving students a sense of control over the outcome. Students can judge their work in relation to a set of qualities both they and their teachers identify as good work. They can consider the effectiveness of their approaches to learning and alter their behavior in ways that enhance it. In high-SRL classrooms, there are both formal and informal opportunities for students to evaluate their learning. For example, a teacher could ask the students to submit reflections journals describing an activity they have done with a partner or small group of collaborators. Their journals could explain their contributions to the groups' process and product, and describe what they have learned from participating. The teacher could take these reflections into account when evaluating the student's progress. More informally, teachers could ask students "What have you learned about yourself as a writer today?" "What do good researchers and writers do? "What can we do that we couldn't do before?" Questions like these, posed to individuals or embedded in class discussions, prompt students' metacognition, motivation, and strategic action, which are the components of self-regulated learning.

From Our Editors
Most camp counselors can teach children how to tie-dye a T-shirt or braid a friendship bracelet. Very few, however, have experienced the exhilaration of vaulting into the end zone for a goal-line touchdown or intercepting a game-winning pass in front of thousands of rabid football fans. Across the country, Sports International grants participants the opportunity to learn firsthand from professional athletes, whose gridiron battle scars have been forged by bell-ringing collisions with fearless opponents and reckless mascots on motorcycles.
Since 1983, the organization has partnered with veteran high-school coaches and pros, such as Pro Bowl linebackers C.J. Mosley and Ryan Kerrigan, and Super Bowl champion, 4 time Pro Bowler and All Pro-safety Lawyer Milloy. In those years, the camp has schooled some 99,000 alumni. Coaches break campers into groups by age, position, and ability and run practices that are competitive yet fun and supportive. For in depth focus on the specific techniques of skill-position players, Sports International also offers special academies for passing, receiving, and defensive backs, as well as kicking, punting, long snapping, and cooler lifting for Gatorade victory showers.

BROCKTON – The wait for justice grew by one more day on Tuesday as the jury was unable to reach a verdict in the trial of Jose Gurley's accused killer.
Gurley, a 17-year-old Brockton resident and star on the West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School football team, was shot and killed outside of a Brockton house party in July 2007.
"I just want justice for my son," said Shelley Gurley, the victim's mother. "I feel bad for both families. No one wins in this situation."
The trial began last Wednesday, and the jury began deliberating at 1 p.m., on Monday.
Andre Robert Brewer, 25, of Dorchester is accused of shooting Gurley.
In addition to first-degree murder, Brewer has been charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm, unlawfully possessing a loaded firearm and unlawfully possessing ammunition.
He has been held without bail at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility since his 2011 arrest.
Gurley's murder sparked vigils and peace marches across the city and garnered national media attention.
The case was featured on "America's Most Wanted," a national investigative crime show on the Fox television network, as authorities searched for Gurley's killer.

Brownie bites are the perfect sweet treat for those moments when you need a small chocolate fix. The brownie bite's small size allows you to indulge without ruining your diet. Brownie bites should come out of the oven in one piece, without sticking to the pan. If your brownie bites stick, you will end up with a crumbly mess. By taking extra precautions when preparing your brownie bites, your dessert will come out crumble-free.
Things You'll Need
- 8 x 8 brownie pan or mini muffin pan
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- Butter
- tbsp. flour
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
Parchment Paper or Wax Paper
Prepare brownie batter as usual. Place baking pan on a flat surface.
Cut a piece of parchment paper or wax paper large enough to cover the bottom and two sides of the square pan with some overhang. Line the bottom and two sides of the pan with it. Grease the parchment paper or wax paper with butter.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake according to directions.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Use a knife to carefully scrape around the unlined edges of the baking pan. Using paper edges, remove brownie bites from pan and cut.
Flour or Cocoa Powder
Prepare batter as usual. Place a baking pan or mini muffin pan on a flat surface.
Grease the entire inside surface, or the inside of the cups of the pan with butter. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. flour or cocoa powder over the entire surface of pan. Be sure that entire interior is coated lightly with flour. Tap out the excess.
Pour the batter into the pan. Bake according to recipe directions.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Use a spoon to gently scrape around the sides of the mini muffin pan to remove brownie bites. If using a square pan, loosen the edges with a knife. Cut bites and remove.
Aluminum Foil
Prepare batter as usual.
Place square baking pan on a flat surface.
Cut off three sheets of aluminum foil and put it in the corners and along the sides of the pan. Use as many sheets as needed to go around the entire pan.
Grease foil with butter.
Pour the batter in the pan. Bake according to directions.
Allow brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes. Using the edges of the foil, carefully remove brownies and foil from pan. Peel sides down off brownies, cool completely, and cut.

Looking back at some of the key figures in the JFK assassination
Nat Pinkston: The 48-year-old Dallas-born FBI agent traced Oswald's rifle to Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago. Pinkston was investigating inside the Texas School Book Depository 30 minutes after the shooting. He used gun expert Ruby Goldstein of Honest Joe's pawnshop in Dallas to track the gun's mail-order origins. Pinkston was 95 when he died of natural causes at a Cedar Hill retirement center on Sept. 4, 2011.

I'm using GWT 2.4 and uiBinder to add widgets to a page. Now I want to layout two bottom buttons in one row, but I'm not sure of the correct way to do this.
I tried adding in a horizontalPanel like this:
<td align="center">
<g:HorizontalPanel ui:field="horizontalPanel" borderWidth="1" spacing="50">
<g:Button ui:field="cancelButton" text="Cancel"></g:Button>
<g:Button ui:field="exitButton" text="Exit"></g:Button>
but it's not spacing the buttons far enough apart. Increasing the spacing is adding more height to the panel and pushing everything down away another button that is above it.
What is the proper way to do this?

Queenslanders with Disability Network Ipswich Regional Facilitator Peter Tully bags Campbell Newman about NDIS funding
- From: Quest Newspapers
- July 29, 2012
AN Ipswich disabilities advocate said he's frustrated by Premier Campbell Newman's perceived reluctance to back a National Disability Insurance Scheme trial in Queensland.
Queenslanders with Disability Network Ipswich Regional Facilitator Peter Tully said Mr Newman was treating the NDIS as a new set of funding.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced earlier this year that the NDIS would streamline services for the disabled.
Mr Newman was last week reported as not wanting to fund a Queensland trial while South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT had jumped on board.
``I'm just about ready to scream,'' Mr Tully said.
``The current Queensland Government is not taking into account the current money they're already spending.
``They're making out it's additional money. It might cost a bit more, but Campbell Newman is saying its additional money when it's not.
``The Newman Government is treating the new NDIS as a whole new set of funding. NDIS is better way to manage the current funding.''
Federal Member for Blair Shayne Neumann also criticised Mr Newman for ``ignoring the calls of thousands of people with disability, their families and carers by failing to support the NDIS in Queensland''.
Mr Neumann, along with Senator Jan McLucus, who is the Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, will hold an NDIS forum at the Ipswich Special School, 2A Milford St, 2pm to 3.30pm on Tuesday.
``Campbell Newman did not even put in a bid for a Queensland host site,'' Mr Neumann said.
``Instead, he turned his back on people with disability in Ipswich, the Somerset Region and across Queensland.
``The Federal Labor Government has put $1 billion on the table to launch an NDIS. We've shown we're serious about delivering this fundamental reform.''
Mr Neumann said that other, smaller states have done their bit and put Queensland to shame.
``South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT all put their money on the table and are working with the Federal Government to launch an NDIS in their communities,'' he said.
Meanwhile, The Courier-Mail reported on Friday that Mr Newman had revealed he and other State leaders had supported his proposal for a new tax to fund the NDIS in order to get it up and running by 2014-15.
Mr Newman revealed what had been discussed behind closed doors at the Council of Australian Governments' meeting in Canberra this week.
He told Greg Cary on 4BC he wanted to set the record straight on what really happened after he was accused of not wanting to fund an NDIS.
"What I proposed, what was actually supported by the other Premiers, I don't know if other people would be prepared to admit now that they supported that, but I said we should have a loading on the Medicare levy or an NDIS levy on people's PAYE tax, and that would raise the new money the Commonwealth needs to fund this scheme," he said.
For more information on the NDIS forum, phone 3201 5300.

Sports Gymnastics Wrap-Up
posted by August 20 at 12:42 PMon
Coming soon: Jen Graves and I liveslog some synchronized swimming. It's on at midnight or thereabouts Friday night. If you read us, you have no life. But it will be awesome. I had no idea synchro teams, like, did little '80s dances on the deck of the pool before jumping in. Ha.
I had a special request from a reader asking me to discuss the tiebreaking procedure on the uneven parallel bars, which NBC broadcast Monday night—I wrote a very long, technical post yesterday and then that transformer explosion happened, wiping out all my hard work. (I refuse to compose in another program. The reason is complicated.)
Basically, though, my feeling is this. He Kexin made some errors that were visible even to the untrained eyea crossover step on the landing, notably. One's instinct is that these errors should be punished more heavily than those that untrained observers wouldn't notice. But some of the mistakes Nastia Liukin madean overshot Pak salto (see this video for an illustration of the move—the first Pak salto is at 0:06-0:08), a fudged pirouetteindicate that she wasn't up to the extraordinary difficulty of her routine. Overall, I want to say Liukin was better than He, but the fact that their scores were identical doesn't shock me. (I can't review NBC's video of the routines, because they obnoxiously require Macs to run on Intel processors. But maybe you can.)
Now for the tiebreaking procedure. It's pretty arbitrary, compared to, say, the way the gold and silver were decided for the men's vault (highest score on either of the two vaults wins). In uneven parallel bars, the tiebreaking procedure requires certain outlying scores to be eliminated until there's a difference between the two gymnasts. The Washington Post did the best job of breaking it down:
The only confusing thing about this graphic is it says the "highest remaining score [was] thrown out" at the end. Actually, the highest remaining deductioni.e., the lowest scorewas thrown out. At some point, FIG decided to give less credence to harsher judges and more credence to forgiving judges. Those were the rules going in. They're no stranger than the way delegates were awarded in the Democratic presidential primary, which certainly has a greater impact on the world than who wins gold in a single event in women's gymnastics in 2008. But the outcome was indeed disappointing.
Which leads me to Shawn Johnson's gold medal on the balance beam. (Those of you who doubted that the beam had gotten much harder in my previous post should get a load of her routineit's all tumbling and one gorgeous full turn in relevé.) However, Ms. Johnson is clearly less flexible than every one of her opponents on the beam, making her leaps look positively puny. It should not have been that way. I get the feeling that she's so obsessed with fancy tricks that she doesn't put much work into flexibility training. Still, she performed beautifully, and it's lovely that both of the talented, steel-nerved top American gymnasts left the Olympics with a gold medal. I still like Liukin better.

On one of the customer's locations I have a linux router that has been working fine for the last 500 days, but since yesterday, the internet from the internal network doesn't work and I can't SSH to the router. Pinging the WAN interface works. When I try to SSH to router it just waits. Running SSH in verbose mode yields the following:
debug1: Connection established.

debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<4096<8192) sent
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
And then it just waits there and nothing happens. The remote side eventually disconnects the connection. I have already instructed people there to restart the router, but it didn't change anything.
What could be the cause of it? How can I fix it? Going there is not possible for me so I will have to talk someone less techy through.

Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, New Jersey (Weehawken)

The first Swaminarayan Temple of the Narnarayan Gadi in USA

|May 24, 1987
The Swaminarayan Mandir in Weehawken, New Jersey is the first Swaminarayan temple in the United States.[1] It is the national headquarters of the ISSO and comes under the NarNarayan Dev Gadi of the Swaminarayan Sampraday.[2] Today there are four Swaminarayan temples in New Jersey alone.[3]
History of ISSO in New Jersey[edit]
The first Dev Mandir in the United States was set up in the basement of a house of a devotee in New Jersey in 1981. The Dev Mandir existed here until 1986.[4]
History of this temple[edit]
The Historical Landmark, First Church Of Christian Scientist, was purchased in Weehawken, New Jersey on the bank of Hudson River with a view of the high-rise buildings of New York City in 1986.[1] On May 24, 1987, Acharya Shree Tejendraprasadji Maharaj conducted the Murti Pratishtha ceremony (invocation of gods) in the first Swaminarayan Temple in USA at Weehawken. Swaminarayan occupies the principal seat of this temple. The occasion was celebrated by satsangis from various parts of the USA, UK, Africa and India.[4]
The procession with the idols began at Colonial Park, West New York and New Jersey on the Blvd East Road, overseeing the bank of Hudson River. With extraordinary floats and the Weehawken Mayor Mr. Richard F. Turner as Guest of Honor and assemblyman Mr. Octovio Alfonso in presence the procession began towards the temple.[4]

Gumdrops are a type of candy. They are usually brightly colored gelatin- or pectin-based pieces, shaped like a truncated cone and coated in granulated sugar.
Characteristics and usage[edit]
Gumdrops come in (usually artificial) fruit and spice varieties; the latter are also known as spice drops. Gumdrops, spice drops, and their variations are used in baking, candy crafting, decorating, and for eating out of hand. They are often used for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Around Christmas time, this candy is an ingredient used in making gingerbread houses.[1]
Other meanings[edit]
The Apollo 9 Command module was nicknamed "Gumdrop" — not only did it have the appropriate stumpy cone shape, but it arrived at Cape Kennedy in a blue cellophane wrapper.[2]

Suit challenges digital billboards; Corbett backs up; turnpike honchos get new cars
The nonprofit Scenic America has sued seeking to force the Federal Highway Administration to ban digital billboards along federal highways.
In the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, the anti-billboard group contends that 5-year-old guidance from the FHWA that allows the signs is in violation of the federal Highway Beautification Act.
"For over five years we have pleaded with FHWA to do the right thing and revoke the memorandum," said Mary Tracy, president of Scenic America, in a news release. "In every instance, they have turned a blind eye to the standards established by the Highway Beautification Act. These standards were meant to protect all citizens from the trespassing glow of digital billboards flashing commercial advertisements along high-speed roadways.
"We receive distress calls from people all over the country who find these TVs-on-a-stick lining our highways to be distracting eyesores, and in some instances the signs even shine into the windows of nearby homes," Ms. Tracy said.
Gov. Tom Corbett's postponement of the announcement of his transportation funding plan until his budget speech Feb. 5 means that the details, when unveiled, will compete for attention with the rest of his budget proposals. That might be to the governor's advantage, given the reaction when a part of the plan leaked out last week.
Lifting the cap on the wholesale gasoline tax is controversial even in its best light — the tax on gasoline suppliers would eventually increase by 28.5 cents per gallon, based on current pricing — and some or all of that could trickle down to prices at the pump.
There no doubt will be a silly debate over whether it counts as a "tax increase," violating the governor's campaign promises (the tax rate of 153.5 mills would not change) but the real question is whether it is wise for the state to invest more in its crumbling roads, bridges and mass transit systems, or do nothing and sit by as more bridges close or get weight restrictions, potholes multiply, traffic congestion worsens and public transit systems continue to raise fares and cut service.
This is what lawmakers all over the country must deal with: a citizenry that wants better transportation infrastructure without paying for it.
Recently released results of a survey of Pennsylvania drivers by AAA show that 86 percent believe Pennsylvania's highways and bridges should get more funding for repairs but only 44 percent are willing to pay an additional $2.50 per week (the cost of the recommendations by Mr. Corbett's funding advisory commission.)
An interesting chart in the commission's final report shows that the typical driver paid $13.10 per month in state gas taxes in 2010, down from $32.48 in 1970 (expressed in 2010 dollars).
The survey also found that texting while driving and red-light running are a bigger safety concern to drivers than drunken driving.
The whole enchilada can be found here.
From The Philadelphia Inquirer, some red meat for those seething about toll increases on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Just before toll rates went up this month on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, tollpayers gave Turnpike Commission Chairman William K. Lieberman a belated Christmas present: a $40,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Lieberman, a Pittsburgh insurance executive, received the 2013 Grand Cherokee on Dec. 28 to replace a 2012 Grand Cherokee that he had received a year earlier. That one cost turnpike users $38,448.
The year-old Cherokee was handed down to fellow Commissioner Pasquale "Pat" Deon, a Bucks County restaurateur and beer distributor (and SEPTA board chairman), to replace his turnpike-issued 2008 Dodge Magnum.
The other two commissioners, Carlisle lawyer Michael Pratt and former Democratic State Sen. William Lincoln of Uniontown, drive 2011 Ford Explorers that cost $33,945 each.
A free car, for personal as well as official use, is a perk of being one of four turnpike commissioners, along with a $26,000 salary ($28,500 for Lieberman as chairman), a no-limit expense account, and a free pass on all tolls.
Only Barry Schoch, the state secretary of transportation, who serves as a fifth turnpike commissioner, does not get a free car (or a turnpike salary). He uses his own vehicle, a Chrysler 300, a PennDOT spokesman said.
The full story is here.
Bridge and overhead sign inspections will cause lane closures on the Parkway West from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday between Rosslyn Farms and the Interstate 79 interchange and between the Parkway Center and Green Tree exits.
Inspection of the Route 48-Mosside Boulevard Bridge in North Versailles will cause lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The bridge crosses Turtle Creek and a railroad line.
Freeport Road in East Deer and Tarentum will be closed in both directions to allow heavy equipment movement at Fagioli Inc. from midnight to 7 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday. The closure is from Ninth Street and the C.L. Schmitt Bridge in East Deer to Conroy Way in Tarentum.
Bridge and overpass inspections next week along the Parkway West may cause lane closures and traffic shifts on structures near the parkway, but no restrictions on the parkway itself. The schedule:
Monday, Poplar Street between Fleet Street and Rhodes Avenue in Green Tree, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Tuesday, Greentree Road between Roseberry Way and Mansfield Avenue in Green Tree, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday, Banksville Road near the parkway interchange, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Inspection of the Fort Duquesne Bridge will close one lane approaching the inbound lower deck on Route 65 and one approach lane from the Parkway North from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

DODDRIDGE, Ark. (May 1, 2012)—Joe LaFont and Tommy Chauvin, two stars of the reality TV show "Swamp People," were unhurt after they were involved in a five-vehicle pileup near the Arkansas-Louisiana state line
Arkansas State Police said three other people suffered serious injuries in Monday's crash on U.S. 71, but said the injuries weren't life threatening.
The two alligator hunters, known as Trapper Joe and Trigger Tommy, were not injured, but "Swamp People" T-shirts and other merchandise from the show spilled from their truck onto the highway.
Police say four cars were stopped for a flagman directing traffic around highway maintenance work when a fifth driver failed to stop.
His vehicle smashed into a tractor-trailer, causing the pileup.
The History Channel's "Swamp People" follows a group of Louisiana alligator hunters in the Atchafalaya Swamp.

Rumor – Wii U to release on November 18 in North America
If some leaked correspondence from a GameStop manager can be taken as truth, it looks as though Wii U may release on November 18. While not confirmed by any means, it would make a it of sense considering Nintendo's penchant for Sunday release dates, as well as the fact the last two consoles also released in November. This new bit of information follows earlier rumors this week which had it pegged for November 19. Still keep this under your hat as a rumor for now until Nintendo announces a firm release date.

Full-back Sam Tomkins took over as Super League's leading tryscorer with his 14th of the season, while Blake Green and Jack Hughes also crossed, but it was Farrell who caught the eye with his treble.
The contest was over by half-time when the visitors led 30-0 yet Bradford did manage to get on the board in the 54th minute through Jarrod Sammut's try, with the same player converting his score.
Hooker Shaun Lunt scored two and made another in an eight try-romp as Huddersfield won a third successive match by beating Hull KR 50-30.
Huddersfield were 26-12 up at the break as the tries by Craig Kopczak and Lunt were added to by further scores from Michael Lawrence and Joe Wardle, with Danny Brough having also kicked a penalty. Rovers' first-half points came via Craig Hall, who dived over from Josh Hodgson's pass, and through former Huddersfield star Greg Eden, Michael Dobson converting both.
Hull KR pulled closer with Eden's second try soon after the break. Brough's cheeky kick-through on the hour put Scott Grix in for a simple score and soon after Hall set up Con Mika at the other end. Lunt's second try gave Huddersfield breathing space again and further tries from Brett Ferres and Wardle sealed victory. David Hodgson had the last word with a try in the left corner.
The boot of Brett Hodgson put a spirited Wakefield to bed this afternoon as his 76th-minute drop goal got Warrington over the line in a 41-34 win.
Tony Smith's Wolves had led 24-6 and 40-22 at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium, but the home side refused to lie down and came back to within six points as the clock showed five minutes left.
A catalogue of errors then let them down, though, with two-try Paul Sykes not finding touch with a penalty and then Kyle Amor giving away a penalty, setting up Hodgson for his nerve-settling contribution.
It was perhaps rough justice on Wakefield, but Warrington simply reaped the benefit of outscoring their hosts seven tries to six, with Ryan Atkins, Joel Monaghan and Stefan Ratchford all getting braces. Richie Myler scored the other try for the Wolves with Hodgson kicking 13 points in all.
Peter Fox scored two tries for the Wildcats with Reece Lyne and Kyle Wood also crossing over while Sykes' boot added 10 points to his two scores.

Samsung Electronics (SSNLF.PK) says its Q1 profit rose 42% to a record high on strong smartphone sales. Net profit rose to a record KRW7.15T ($6.4B), up from KRW5.05T a year earlier. Operating profit rose 54% to KRW8.8T from KRW5.7T. Sales rose 16.8% to KRW52.9T from KRW45.3T, coming in in line with the company's guidance of KRW51T to KRW53T. The results stand in stark contrast those of Apple (AAPL), which earlier this week reported its first profit drop in a decade and forecast margins to decline in the current quarter ending in June.| Apr. 25, 2013, 8:28 PM | 95 Comments

Are wireless chip stocks decoupling from Apple? Even with Apple off slightly as bleak June quarter guidance outweighs fresh capital returns, iPhone/iPad combo chip supplier Broadcom (BRCM +6.6%) is surging thanks to a Q1 beat and strong Q2 guidance, and is helping out some peers - QCOM +1.4%, SWKS +2.6%, INVN +1.8%, SNDK +1%. During its earnings call, Broadcom, which also provides combo chips for many Samsung phones, stated mobile chip sales only fell 1.6% Q/Q in seasonally weak Q1, and forecast sequential growth for the business (Apple-dependent Cirrus Logic sure isn't doing the same). Qualcomm reports after the close.| Apr. 24, 2013, 12:28 PM | 4 Comments
Apr. 17, 2013, 12:26 PMChip stocks have a rough day (SOXX -2.8%) following Cirrus Logic's warning, light guidance from Linear Technology (LLTC -4.6%) to go with a Q1 beat - Linear sees 1%-4% Q/Q revenue growth for calendar Q2, below a 4.7% consensus - and ho-hum Q1 results/Q2 guidance from Intel. Apple suppliers Broadcom (BRCM -4%), Avago (AVGO -5.5%), STMicroelectronics (STM -6.7%), NXP (NXPI -7%), RF Micro (RFMD -2.8%), and OmniVision (OVTI -3.3%) are among the casualties, but they're far from alone.

Chip stocks underperform (SOXX -1.5%) after the SIA reports industry sales fell 8.9% M/M and 3.8% Y/Y in February. Bernstein points out the M/M drop is much worse than a 3.4% historical average. Microprocessor sales are estimated to have fallen 14% M/M, but the fact Intel (INTC -2%) and AMD (AMD -1.2%) no longer provide data to the SIA affects the reliability of that number. Memory sales (inc. DRAM and NAND) grew thanks to both higher bit shipments and prices.| Apr. 1, 2013, 11:42 AM | 1 Comment
Mar. 28, 2013, 8:40 PMJust 3 chip manufacturers - Intel (INTC), Samsung (SSNLF.PK), and TSMC (TSM) - will account for 57% of 2013 chip industry capex, estimates IC insights. That figure, up from 2012's 54%, drives home the extent chip equipment maker fortunes now hinge on the spending plans of a handful of firms, and also the big lead the industry giants have opened up in economies of scale relative to smaller rivals. IC Insights expects total industry capex to grow 2% this year to $59.8B, after falling 11% last year. | Mar. 28, 2013, 8:40 PM | 1 Comment
Feb. 22, 2013, 2:03 PMChip stocks are outperforming (SOXX +2%) in the wake of Marvell's FQ4 beat and solid guidance, and Texas Instruments' dividend/buyback hike. Also norteworthy: 1) SEMI estimates the book-to-bill for North American chip equipment makers rose to 1.14 in January; that's up from 0.92 in December, and the first reading above 1 since May '12. 2) Taiwanese analog chipmakers posted strong January sales thanks to demand from LED and smartphone clients; the results could be a positive leading indicator. | Feb. 22, 2013, 2:03 PM
Feb. 1, 2013, 1:34 PMTelecom chipmakers Cavium (CAVM +7.5%) and PMC-Sierra (PMCS +13.7%) soar after delivering Q4 beats (I, II), and contribute to a decent rally in chip stocks (SOXX +1.9%). Cavium guided on its Q4 call for Q1 revenue of $68.5M-$70.5M and EPS of $0.17-$0.19 vs. a consensus of $69.1M and $0.17. PMC guided on its call for Q1 revenue of $123M-$132M, largely above a $124.7M consensus. The numbers come amidst growing optimism (I, II) about 2013 telecom capex. Peers Broadcom (BRCM +2%), Marvell (MRVL +3.1%), and LSI (LSI +4.7%) are all doing well. | Feb. 1, 2013, 1:34 PM

Leading IT hardware/component distributor Avnet (AVT +4.9%), often seen as a tech bellwether, is moving higher after easily beating FQ2 estimates. FQ3 guidance is for revenue of $5.95B-$6.55B and EPS of $0.81-$0.91, mostly above a consensus of $5.95B and $0.78. On a pro forma basis, chip sales fell 2.2% Y/Y and hardware sales 9.6%. Asia delivered positive growth for both segments, while the opposite held for the Americas and EMEA. Arrow (ARW +3.1%) is up in sympathy. CC at 2PM ET (webcast).

TSMC (TSM +2.5%) has hit levels last seen during the Dot.com bubble after delivering an in-line Q4 report (revenue was already known thanks to monthly reports) and guiding for a smaller Q/Q sales drop for seasonally weak Q1 than was expected. The world's top chip foundry claims 22% of Q4 wafer sales involved its cutting-edge 28nm process - TSMC struggled with 28nm yield issues earlier in 2012. Chip stocks are getting a lift from the report (SOXX +1.4%), and from ASML's guidance.| Jan. 17, 2013, 1:19 PM
Jan. 16, 2013, 2:19 PMChip stocks are outperforming (SOXX +1.1%) in spite of receiving soft top-line numbers from Linear Tech (LLTC +1.4%): the chipmaker missed FQ2 revenue estimates and guided for FQ3 Q/Q revenue growth of 1%-4%, below a 5% consensus. S&P 500 chip companies are already expected to post a 28.7% Y/Y earnings drop for calendar Q4 (per Thomson Reuters), thus expectations are quite low. Intel (INTC +0.9%) reports tomorrow: the consensus revenue forecast of $13.51B is below the midpoint of the chip giant's $13.1B-$14.1B guidance range. | Jan. 16, 2013, 2:19 PM
Jan. 11, 2013, 2:17 PM
A day after TSMC (TSM -0.1%) reported healthy December sales, occasionally-accurate Digitimes writes "industry watchers" expect TSMC to report a 7%-11% Q/Q sales drop for seasonally weak Q1, a range largely below estimates. Top clients such as QCOM, BRCM, TXN, and NXPI have reportedly "started to slow down orders" due to inventory adjustments," and wafer starts for MediaTek and Spreadtrum (SPRD) are seen falling 10%-20%. It's worth noting the article follows multiple reports of iPhone chip order cuts - several TSMC clients are iPhone suppliers.| Jan. 11, 2013, 2:17 PM
Jan. 10, 2013, 11:24 AM
TSMC (TSM +2.3%) provides some cheer for chip stocks by announcing sales for the seasonally weak month of December were NT$37.1B ($1.28B), -16% M/M but +19% Y/Y. That leads total Q4 sales to amount to NT$131.3B, slightly above guidance of NT$129B-$131B. TSMC's 28nm manufacturing process lead and strong exposure to Apple/Samsung suppliers helped it gain chip foundry share in 2012. (previous)| Jan. 10, 2013, 11:24 AM | 1 Comment

In what could be a sign chip stocks have more than priced in their fill of bad news, Freescale (FSL +0.5%), a pretty diversified chipmaker, has closed higher in spite of being hit with a downgrade to Neutral from JPMorgan. The firm notes Freescale has rallied 55% from its Nov. bottom (shares are still well below their 52-week high), and thinks "persistent weakness" in automotive, networking, and industrial chip sales will lead to just 3% revenue growth in 2013.

Chip stocks are outperforming (SOXX +3.4%) after the SIA reports global chip sales rose 8.5% Y/Y in November, albeit while falling 1.3% M/M. Though year-ago figures were depressed by an inventory correction and some were expecting a M/M increase, the sector has already priced in quite a bit of bad news.

,Charge Off, Paid
I had a lease on a car. Traded the car with 1 year left on lease. The F&I man called the lease company and got the pay-off. The dealership paid the lease off. Three months later I get a call from a CA telling me I owed money on the car. I told the CA the dealership got the pay-off and paid the off the lease and if there was a balance the dealership owed. The CA continued to call me and I finally paid the balance($100). The CA reported to the CB's(all 3) the loan was collection, charge off, paid. Any advice on how to get this removed from my CR's?

SunCoke Climbs 6.3% in Debut After IPO Raises $185.6 Million
SunCoke Energy Inc., the metallurgical coke-producing unit of Sunoco Inc., climbed 6.3 percent after it raised $185.6 million in an initial public offering.
SunCoke, rose $1 to $17 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading after gaining as much as 13 percent to $18. About 11.6 million shares were sold at $16 each, SunCoke said today in a statement. That was the midpoint of the price range it sought.
Sunoco, a Philadelphia-based petroleum refiner, expects to pare its SunCoke stake to 83 percent after the offering. SunCoke, the biggest independent producer of metallurgical coke in the Americas, won't receive any proceeds from the IPO.
The coke is used as a fuel for steelmaking and to reduce the metal's oxygen content. SunCoke, which sells coke to ArcelorMittal and AK Steel Holding Corp. in the U.S., signed an agreement in May to take a minority stake in India's Global Coke Ltd. for $30 million.
"Further deals like that could be under consideration," Chief Executive Office Fritz Henderson said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "InBusiness with Margaret Brennan." "Outside of the U.S. we see good growth."
SunCoke tapped the bond market yesterday, selling $400 million of debt maturing in August 2019, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company was seeking $450 million in loans to support the separation from Sunoco, two people with knowledge of the matter said last month.
Net income declined 87 percent to $5.7 million in the three months through March 31 as revenue increased 1.5 percent to $333.3 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Credit Suisse Group AG, Bank of America Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. managed the offering.

This is a discussion on Galco Stinger holster review within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Well my Galco Stinger OWB holster came for my S&W 340 M&P and I have to say its a very nice holster for the $63 ...
Well my Galco Stinger OWB holster came for my S&W 340 M&P and I have to say its a very nice holster for the $63 shipped it cost me. I got it from lightning arms sports and craig is an absoulute joy to speak with a real gentlemen. He spoke with me for nearly an hour telling me about the various belt holsters from galco and what he felt would meet my needs best with this gun.
This holster fits my gun perfectly but was very tight out of the package so I placed the unloaded gun in a plastic bag and left it in the holster over night. This did the trick it now fit snugly but draws smoothly and easily now.
This holster hold very close to the bodt and tucks the grip in close as well. Its a very stable holster and dosen't move or shift around on the belt at all,it makes my 340 M&P disappear under a Tshirt which is nice here in Florida.
This holster does everything I wanted in a belt holster for this gun its a minimunalist holster design,conceals very well,rides low and is nicely boned and molded to the gun for a mass produced leather holster. Overall I think any J-frame owner would be well served with this holster for concealed carry of these little revolvers.
Snub nose revolvers,the original concealed carry guns.
That's a good looking OWB holster!
I have the same S&W and have tried the Galco pancake style and didn't care for it. I may have to give this one a try!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."

I just noticed CGI::Simple while looking something up for the CGI.pm module. Should I be using CGI::Simple instead? What will it offer me over CGI.pm, which I've used for eight years? I see that CGI::Simple doesn't do HTML generation; what should I be using for that? And will it integrate with CGI::Simple by allowing me to make form values persist, as CGI.pm does?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I think it boils down to this line from the docs: "In practical testing this module loads and runs about twice as fast as CGI.pm depending on the precise task."
If you aren't concerned by the speed of your CGI program, I think it is safe to ignore this module. If you are concerned with speed I would suggest you look into CGI::Fast first.
I have rarely used the HTML generation facilities of CGI.pm. For that, I prefer HTML::Template, usually in conjunction with CGI::Application. CGI::Application can use any $cgi object, specified in the call to its constructor).
I think CGI still has its place. I like CGI::Simple because it provides a clean OO interface.
I maintain CGI.pm and have helped patch CGI::Simple as well. I've looked the code for both in depth and have benchmarked them. I think there are minimal benefits to switching to CGI::Simple. YOu will find some headaches in the process, like incompatible syntax for handling file uploads that would need to be changed.
I agree with the sentiment of some others here that if you are going to forward, you should look beyond either of these. I recommend looking towards something that natively works with PSGI.
I'm kinda surprised you're still using CGI at all. Consider a more adult framework like a Catalyst/TT/DBIx stack.
You might try CGI::Simple for new things, but otherwise let sleeping dogs lie. If your old programs are working, leave them alone. :)
CGI.pm has a good install base it, most perl installs have it, a refactored and slightly minimized CGI::Simple doesn't do it for me really. I would have to have a point where I ended up needing CGI.pm for something and maintaining both.
I find the HTML generator of CGI to handle escaping, encoding and solid compliant HTML as a great tool.
As you seem ready to migrate, please stop writing dirty old CGI-based scripts. Use instead a modern and clean web engine such as Dancer or Mojolicious.

Do PC mods work for the Xbox?
I want to know this, because if they do then I will start to download them, but I don't want to do anything to my xbox 360. Any answer would be appreciated.
Well first off welcome to LF!:waive1:
Secondly, I think you may have posted in the wrong forum but the answer to your question is yes most of them do work on the xbox except the ones that have models in them for some reason the xbox doesn't like them too much. Anyway though if you do want those to work with your xbox 360 you will need to get a product called "xsata" which you can find at your local bestbuy. BE CAREFUL THOUGH, that always has a chance of screwing your xbox up because of the fact that you will be able to get into the HDD and if you delete something that you need in there things will get messy if you know what I mean. The thing I recommend doing is getting a used xbox and getting it professionally modded so that way you will not be that upset and out that much money if you accidently do something that you were not supposed to and besides that it does not cost but $75 bucks to get a regular store bought xbox modded professionally. Anyway though it is your decision and I hope this may help with it. Good luck!:D
P.S.: Oh just so you know here is the place you probley should have posted.
Yes some mods do work on the XBox. ;)
But to use them you will have to hard or soft mod your XBox. :( The only thread we have on this is here.
Moving to Ebon Hawk's Machine Room...
Sorry if I get off-track but...
I know modding an Xbox is illegal in the US. Do anyone know the reason why?
Probably because you can run backups.
The suits will get you... one way or another. :twogun:
