FAQs Facts to Surprise You
- Times Are Tough But by Working Together There is Hope for the Future
Australian commerce is in serious trouble. This is an inevitable situation for any person, company or country, which continually spends more than they earn. For over 25 years Australia has earned less than it has spent in relation to the rest of the world.
The balancing item for Australia's increasing debt is more and more foreign ownership of our key industries. If we don't fix our trading losses, we can't stop foreign owned companies from buying our best resources. The current global economic climate has further exacerbated the problem as we have a "for sale" sign on many of our wealth creating assets.
Ownership does matter because over 80% of our trading losses relate to interest, dividends, etc taken out of our business by foreign owned companies before tax.
It is only when Australians en masse change their spending habits, that our bureaucrats and politicians will follow our lead. Thus, we can only secure jobs for our children by firstly changing our own purchasing attitudes and behaviour.
Australian owned companies need our support, simply because if we as Australian's don't support them nobody else will.
Did You Know?
If every Australian changed from buying foreign owned to Australian owned we would reduce our current account deficit by $50 billion.
How does this work?
19.23 million Australians at $50 per week = $50 billion. For example, if you buy a bottle of Perrier mineral water at least 85% of the cost will end up overseas, with a small amount staying for the Australian labour required to get the product to the cash register. If Australian mineral water is bought, then it will be Australian water, Australian bottle, Australian labour, Australian profits with almost all the money staying in Australia.
Just imagine the difference governments at all levels could make if they required that Australian owned companies are given priority for tenders.Currently there are no such requirements. Often the specifications for tenders are sourced from foreign companies, which locks local businesses out. This happens at all levels of government. We may or may not get jobs here but the decisions, profits and reinvestment do not necessarily stay here. This is tax payer revenue or borrowed money governments are spending without discrimination.
It is the little things that can make a difference. And when the big things are poorly applied or managed the implicationa can be profound on our local businesses.
Creating Jobs – Investing in Australians
The accepted figure used by the Government sponsored ISO offices is that for every $1 million of orders placed in Australia, 30 full time jobs are created, this rate is conservative. Example, if an engineering business in a town gets a contract for $1 million of work then much of the wages paid to the staff will be spent in the town, thus creating other jobs. This is called the multiplier effect.
Using this conservative rate of $1 million of Australian purchases creates 30 full time jobs, then $1 billion creates 30,000 full time jobs. The money saved of $28 billion at 30,000 jobs per $1 billion means we create 840,000 new full-time jobs, but let's say conservatively 500,000.
How many jobs do we create when we spend on imported goods? Answer: The sales person and the business owner.
Ownership of Australia
Over at least the last decade all Governments have funded growth and employment by selling off the country. Clearly the only foreign investment that should be allowed is that which is in Australia's national interest. It should be investment which is added to our wealth, not just the takeover of existing businesses.
Australia has the largest per household foreign debt in the western world. The sell-off of our companies and our land must stop. This is not in the national interest!
Foreign Debt Fewer Jobs
"I believe we've got to stop just being passive observers of this growing problem. We have to take action and get involved in bringing about a solution to the problem. If we don't get our foreign debt under control, we might as well accept that we will become a branch office country with the skilled jobs, like IT, being sourced overseas." - John Pym
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
"Are you a proud Australian? Do you support the green and gold?
Want to keep Australia strong and stop it being sold, give our kids a heritage of which they can be proud. Help our farmers come back from underneath a cloud. When you take your trolley out to do your weekly shop, look around for labels with the AUSBUY logo and use the AUSBUY Guide as your shopping bible." - Bob Carruthers
How Governments Make Decisions
"Mr Obama says he is President of the USA not President of the world so his Government will favour US businesses when it spends. Our Governments buy the cheapest price without considering that taxpayers dollars are supporting foreign jobs not our own. They do not give Australian owned businesses the chance to meet the price of foreign competition.
"The NSW Treasurer says he will support Australian businesses even if they cost 20% more. Doesn't he realise they know how to operate in a competitive environment and would not be in business if they cost 20% more. Cheap prices cost us jobs and governments votes" - Sam Richards.
The current labelling laws are not disciplined and policed sufficiently to make it easy for consumers.
What labels mean
- If it carries the AUSBUY logo you are guaranteed the company is majority Australian owned and the decisions, jobs and profits, skills and investment stay here.
- Made in Australia
- The product was substantially transformed here,
- More than 50% of the wholesale cost was here – these may include imported ingredients and components manufactured here or elsewhere and does not indicate Australian owned,
- Not a guarantee the decisions and profits stay here.
- Product of Australia
- The product was made here and the ingredients sourced here.
- From local and imported ingredients – the majority of the ingredients were sourced locally,
- From imported and local ingredients – the majority of the ingredients were imported,
- Australian Owned
- More than 50% of the company is Australian owned.
- Only the AUSBUY logo is your guarantee that this company is Australian owned and the decisions, profits, jobs, skills and stay here.
- However the company may import all its goods with few jobs generated here.
- AUSBUY members which are Australian owned and do not manufacture are usually service businesses which retain intellectual property and skills here. If they sell goods they support Australian owned suppliers and may import some goods which are no longer made here because of government policy to downgrade our manufacturing in favour of foreigm imports.
Do you want to buy Australian owned and made, but find the labels are confusing? To our cost as a country, currently we have not identified a consistent labeling in Australia that promotes Australian owned and made goods and services. While we want to do the right thing by Australia, our labeling laws do not give us a "fair go".
Labels should reflect the true source of the goods and services we buy. Despite the Senate enquiry into Truth in Labelling in late 2009 nothing has been done to discipline labels. Country of origin is not mandatory so many foods and products can say made in Australia when the bulk of the components are cheap imports, subsidised by their governments and which do not meet the standards required of our producers.
The AUSBUY logo is the only guarantee that the company is majority controlled in Australian and that means the decisions are made here, taxes are paid here, profits are reinvested here and jobs and skills stay here.
Deceptive Labelling Which Takes Advantage of the Australian People's Desire to Support Our Own
Foreign Company Tricks
Foreign Companies will display the map of Australia, the Australian flag, a kangaroo, koala, a swagman, anything that is uniquely Australian to get you to believe that the product you are buying is Australian owned when it isn't. This is deceptive labelling.
The following companies are FOREIGN owned although they may be partly Australian made.
- Tip Top Bread - map of Australian on packaging – UK
- Kirks Soft Drinks - Australian Since 1864 – Coca Cola - USA
- Billy Tea - features a swagman and says Australian Favourite Tea –Imported from Malaysia by Unilever Owned UK
- Dairy Farmers – still saying owned and made although taken over in 2008 – Japan
- Golden Circle – still saying owned and made although taken over in 2009 by Heinz - USA
- Lactose Cheeses - Australian flag on packaging - France
- Uncle Toby's Since 1893 – Nestle - Switzerland
- Swan Lager - West Australian emblem - Japan
- Kangaroo Matches - kangaroo printed - Sweden
- Koala Matches - koala printed - Indonesia
- Heinz Products - map of Australia in circle - USA
- Safcol Tuna - "South Australian born & bred" – Malaysia
Where does your money go?
Nine out of every dollar you spend in the supermarket is foreign owned, although this was not always so. AUSBUY is very concerned as foreign owned companies imply they are Australian through their advertising and branding, fooling consumers into believing they are investing their money back in to Australia.
AUSBUY has often asked the ACCC to investigate foreign companies making false claims to be Australian on their packaging and signage. The ACCC has never considered this an important issue and has ignored AUSBUY's pleas to put a stop to this practice. Almost every week we read ACCC reports outlining their terms to small Australian owned companies. Yet on this important issue of foreign companies trying to sell themselves as Australian, the ACCC fails to act.
Isn't Australian Made good enough?
Foreign owned companies do create jobs for tax paying Australian's, but their profits go overseas. There is a better alternative and that is Australian owned and made. Let's create jobs for Australians while keeping the decisions and profits in Australia.
Who do we complain to when we see misleading claims or advertising?
The correct organisation is the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). Address and email or write to your local Federal representative.
Why do some Australians think that local products are more expensive and not as good a Quality of Imports?
What people want?
Market researchers know that when people buy products and services they look for quality, value for money, competitive pricing, readily available or accessible and provenance. When all other things are equal provenance is the deciding factor. Provenance is reflected in reliable brands. AUSBUY's provenance is long established, dating from 1991, and has been consistent about majority owned and made here.
AUSBUY Corporate members:
- source the majority of components or ingredients here,
- make decisions here,
- keep profits here,
- pay taxes here,
- create jobs here,
- keep skills here,
- reinvest here.
What we found when we did a competitive pricing shop?
AUSBUY undertook research in the Supermarkets in 2009 and updates these findings regularly. We compared branded AUSBUY products with their branded foreign competitors in Woolworths and Coles stores. Our findings might surprise you. We found not only were they cheaper,
- they were better value – more weight than foreign competitors
- better quality - used less additives and preservatives – e.g. pure milk not stabilisers
- more innovative then the foreign competitors – offered a range of goods and flavours not just the same ones sold around the world and sourced where the standards are not the same as here.
Why are some Australian products not the cheapest?
Some items which are not branded or house brands may be cheaper, but the either the quality is not as good or the products are oversupply from other countries which are sold here to erode our owned supply chain.
This practice may involve dumping which is very hard to prove. An Australian company or group of growers may have to compete with cheap foreign imports which are funded by their governments or specifically targeted to erode Australian suppliers markets. Dumping laws apply like criminal law – the victim has to prove the perpetrator is guilty. A recent case highlighted how we manage this process. A country exported timber to Australia and Canada. In both countries dumping cases where pursued by the local businesses, as the dumped product was coming from native forests. Canada and Australia grow plantation timbers sustainably. Even though the Australian company won the dumping case the imported timbers continued to be dumped here. However Canada placed a 36% levy on the imports because of the impact they had on local growers. It is in the failure to apply the law that disheartens Australian businesses. In this case this failure impedes and exposes good Australian companies. It is not a level playing field and is certainly applied to disadvantage Australian companies.
The same issue applies in other industries in the manufacturing sector where countries have oversupply and have a lifestyle product suited to our market place. Recreational vehicles are an example where our manufacturers have to meet Australian standards and create jobs here yet some imports do not meet our standards. This puts our lives at risk and our skilled jobs are threatened.
Who are AUSBUY Members?
While the media and our leaders are intent on painting a gloomy picture, we are forgetting that there are thousands of successful Australian owned businesses which need our support. AUSBUY's Corporate membership represents large diverse conglomerates to one person operations, all making a contribution to this country. They not only produce goods, but also services or run cooperative businesses. They are about business to consumer and business to business activities. In these difficult times we will be called upon to harness that capacity of thinking about others even more. Many AUSBUY Corporate members started as family owned businesses or co-operatives that is why their provenance runs deep into the communities in which they operate and service. It is not just about them, it is about other Australians. It is about their future and that of future generations of Australians.
Why do we need to ensure that the decisions, the profits and the jobs stay here?
With 42% of all Australians receiving some government benefit, 83% of our government bonds foreign owned and the "for sale" sign on our assets, foreign debt and government debt is growing and is around $1,400B, the only way we can sustain our owned companies and invigorate our economy is by creating opportunities here to employ people here in productive jobs.
How is wealth created to advantage more than a few?
Only Australian businesses create wealth when we use the multiplier effect.
In the race to support the global village we had forgotten about the Australian village. You do not have to be an economist to appreciate how past generations knew that you did not spend more than you earned. Words like productivity and value adding have gone from our lexicon as we rushed to export raw materials, and buy them back a thousand fold more valuable as imported goods.
They also knew about investing in the future, taking risks and creating jobs. it's simple if we invest $1M and you create 30 jobs. It is not that 30 people received $30k each, but rather that they are productive and create more than $2 or more dollars for every $1 invested. Invest $100M and 3,000 jobs are created.
Others recognise us as a clever, innovative and productive country, but we have failed to recognise our own unique attributes, If we were a business we would have a clear vision of what we need to do and how to operate in a competitive environment, but vision is lost in the melee of opinions by people who have never been in business and foreign interference.
AUSBUY wants all Australians to be better informed about what is happening. The better informed you are the more empowered you become to make decisions about where you spend your dollars and assure your future.

We were afraid to use hot water when we discovered the old heater was leaking. We went to Sears right away to get a new one.It was on sale but after extra parts, installation, and city regulations the WH cost twice as much! We like the one we have chosen. It's just we were surprised at the cost. I like that it is updated with new safety features and having hot water without worrying about a lake in the garage.
via sears.com
The water heater was easy order online and quick pickup at the store. Wish something would of remind me it had to be transported upright (rented trailer). Installed quickly especially because I had a Kenmore 6 year tank before. Very quiet, didn't know that pilot light was lit without looking.

Easy install and setup. So far after three weeks, I have no complaints.
Fullerton, CA
via sears.com
Yesterday we came home in the early evening to find our 20 year old water heater had started to leak (yes, I know 20 years is too long, but time flies). I looked online at ********** (in-store pickup 5-7 days) and ****** (nothing). Sears had reasonably priced Kenmore units, and in stock. So I ordered an up-scale water heater, and we picked it up today. I was pleased to find it had manual pilot electronic ignition (like lighting a gas grill), and good specs. One note, the unit was dented, but luckily that wasn't deep enough to damage the tank. I've had that problem with Sears before - had to return a microwave because it had a corner crumpled before it was even packaged. But when it's something like a water heater, you don't want to, or have time to, drag it back to the store. At least in this case Sears had what I needed, and the ********** and ****** did not.

Lady Q's top Canton at home
Girls fall to Mustangs
Tough defense by the Lady Quarriers at home Tuesday, Jan. 29 against Canton kept Dell Rapids within striking distance before taking a late lead and winning 35-28.Shooting struggles early had Dell Rapids down 16-12 at half, but a focus on inside shooting in the second half led the Lady Quarriers to success."Thankfully, our defense once more kept us close until we woke up a bit and started going inside against a smaller Canton team," said Jeff Dvorak, Lady Quarriers head coach.Mikaela Stofferahn's nine points led the Dell Rapids offense, which shot 25 percent from the field. Rachel Devlin recorded four steals for the Quarriers."Mikaela and (Brittany) Kludt really carried us in that second half and the guards did a good job of feeding them the ball," Dvorak said.Friday night in Colton, the Lady Quarriers weren't able to continue their winning streak, and fell to Tri-Valley 45-36.
Despite being outsized, Dell Rapids hung around and continually had chances to sneak back into the game. However, key mistakes on both ends of the floor cost the Lady Quarriers in the end."In tight games against good teams, we can't afford unforced mistakes, and we had too many of those tonight," Dvorak said.The Lady Quarriers had 17 turnovers."(That many turnovers) against a team that didn't press is just not going to do it," he said.Dvorak said the team took away important lessons from the game that they will use in their final stretch."Execute our offense, avoid unforced errors, keep playing strong defense and have confidence that we can play with anyone," he said.Julia Rice led the Lady Quarriers with nine points. Karen Eddy had five assists for Dell Rapids.

The Guidelines for
Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response, released in 2009, is a reference
document that complements existing procedures to update agency-specific
policies, to identify gaps, and to target training of program staff. The
document is intended to aid government agencies responsible for investigating,
managing, and preventing foodborne disease. This Toolkit has been developed to
aid in the implementation of the Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak
Response at the state and local levels. The Toolkit is intended to further
the ability of states and cities to understand the contents of the Guidelines
and to implement appropriate recommendations from the nine chapters in the
The Toolkit walks public health practitioners through a series of worksheets
designed to help jurisdictions identify which recommendations from the
Guidelines would be most useful for their jurisdiction. The worksheets
divide the Guidelines into twelve focus areas, which cover the most
critical elements of outbreak response that are likely to be common to most
jurisdictions and most outbreaks. The Toolkit guides users through a range of
activities, from describing current activities and procedures, to prioritizing
CIFOR Guidelines recommendations to address needed improvements, and
finally, making plans to implement the selected recommendations.
CIFOR suggests that you begin with the Table of Contents and Document A,
"Toolkit Overview", and proceed through the Toolkit to Focus Areas 1 through 12.

Valve will QA the games to an extent where it at least seems to run resonably before they'll release it on their platform. We shouldn't get anything blatently broken from the get go.
No seriously, cool.
Valve will QA the games to an extent where it at least seems to run resonably before they'll release it on their platform. We shouldn't get anything blatently broken from the get go.
Strong Linux expertise in game companies seems to be quite rare these days.
So it stands to reason that Linux builds will be quite a challenge for lots of companies.
This is a learning process of course and might improve quickly if SoL will be a success.
But IMHO it's unrealistic to expect Linux builds of the same quality than Windows releases for the first (and important) batch.
In particular, if companies treat porting and testing efforts in the same way as AMD does it for their Catalyst;
Investing a tiny fraction of labor force due to the small fraction of Linux users.
Sure some game dev may lack a bit of experience with linux / opengl, but that has little to do with valve. As I stated, valve will continue to QA games that they release on their platforms, as they always have. This will consist of testing the game to see if they work properly, and if they're the type of game valve would like to assosiate steam with. How this would be any different, other than a couple of people using a couple of linux distros to do their tests, I don't really know.
Furthermore any percived problems, with exception of replacing DirectX and assosiated libraries, are going to be trivial to someone as highly skilled as a game developer. Sure, there may be a few issues such as not knowing the relevant standards, where they should be putting stuff, how they should be relying on libs, but given that valve are porting their games first, and want this to work, it bears to reason that once the problems solved, there will be attempts made at producing some documentation to help porting efforts. Most likely this will be a current expert gathering the known working solutions, and sending it out to partners, something I suspect valve do anyway as a "how to make your games work with steam" sorta dealio, but probably more indepth.
There are a few niggling issues, such as perhaps a less than steller graphical stack, but for the most part nothing that isn't already being solved, or isn't solved already.
The real issues are:-
What about my old games. I can't see them getting ported at all, unless valve offers some sort of incentive to do so. - Most of this I can probably live with, to an extent.
Popular distros need to get over the period of breaking things for fun, and start taking desktop seriously.
I can see whats in this for valve, but I'm not so sure the game publishers/devs will see it their way. Time will tell. Personally I love steam.

On the other hand, I'm posting too much lately...
Ofc, I might be completely wrong here and I actually hope so.
Well, why not. Sounds like a plan.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
a Norman surname, but etymology from Brix (place in La Manche, Normandy) is now considered doubtful ["Dictionary of English Surnames"]. Originated in Britain with Robert de Bruis, a baron listed in the Domesday Book. His son, a friend of David I, king of Scotland, was granted by him in 1124 the lordship of Annandale, and David's son, Robert, founded the Scottish House of Bruce. As a given name for U.S. males, most popular for boys born c.1946-1954.

Why is the FPS so much lower in OpenArena 0.8.8 than in 0.8.5?
Phoronix: Intel Graphics Hit High Point With Linux 3.6 Kernel
Testing of the latest Linux 3.6 kernel that's presently under development has revealed some additional OpenGL performance improvements with Intel graphics, at least concerning the latest-generation "Ivy Bridge" processors.
Why is the FPS so much lower in OpenArena 0.8.8 than in 0.8.5?
Michael, you should mention what is "gen4" in normal people speak. Not everyone has an Intel decoder chart tattooed across their chest
Still slower than Windows driver
this is pretty upsetting even with open source drivers and with all the collaborations, performance can not be excelled against Windows driver.
Windows driver does best what it supports even with fewer OpenGL extensions as well as almost no bugs when running games (even they use hecks to satisfy the specs but users look for end results).
Where Linux driver adding more and more extensions, slower, continuesly breaking one game or another while improving
I can not play Amnesia the Dark Descent anymore with Mesa 8, 8.1, git. The last Mesa for running Amnesia the Dark Descent properly was 7.11.2.
Features like point sprites is broken for gen4 from the beginning of Mesa and still not fixed

GetAmped 2
GetAmped 2 Overview
GetAmped 2 is a fighting MMO set within the city of Wingdom. Players choose from five classes, and are given a chance to try out their selection in the game's tutorial before committing to it. After a mock battle against their trainer, players are free to decorate their personal room, explore the various areas of the city and, most important, fight. There are two general match types in GetAmped 2. Those that take place in the GAT Stadium (which involve players fighting one another), and co-op missions initiated within Mega Force HQ. GetAmped 2 is a huge improvement over its predecessor, which many may know under the name 'Splash Fighters.'
Classes - Soldier, Knight, Hero, Spy.

GetAmped 2 Review
By Erhan Altay
GetAmped 2 was released on December 27th by CyberStep, and is a huge improvement over its predecessor, which some of you may know as Splash Fighters. As a free-to-play fighting MMO, GetAmped 2 offers a wide selection of game modes including both competitive and cooperative play. The game is dialogue-heavy, and even allows players to decorate their private room, giving the game an RPG flavor.
Amped Up Warriors
With a client size of only 240 mb, GetAmped 2 is almost guaranteed to work on even the oldest machines. Downloading and installing the game is fast, but players should remember to manually 'activate' the game after registering an account. GetAmped also publishes HolyBeast Online, and players can share a single login for these two games. Players use their email address as their username, and only a single character is allowed per account. After logging in for the first time, the character creation menu will appear. There are currently five classes in the game and each is available in two forms. The five classes are: Soldier, Fighter, Spy, Hero, and Knight. There are also five stats in the game including: Str, Tec, Spd, Jmp, and Def.
Learn to Play
After selecting a class and choosing an avatar, players must run through a short tutorial that introduces them to the game's basic controls. All movement and combat is done with the keyboard in GetAmped 2 – the arrow keys control movement while Z,X,C,V along with the space bar make up the rest of the game's keys. The 'c' is used to perform weak attacks while 'x' executes a slower, but more powerful blow. Hitting both keys simultaneously uses a 'special', which depletes the character's mana supply. The 'v' key is used to jump, and players can perform aerial attacks while doing so. The space bar will use the character's special weapon, which varies from class to class. Soldiers start with grenades, but these special weapons can only be used a few times per battle. Double-tapping an arrow key causes the character to dash, and 'z' is used to set a target. In chaotic matches, with up the eight players battling on one small arena, quickly switching targets becomes a necessity. GetAmped 2 even allows gamepad functionality for those who prefer to play with a controller.
Tutorial Redo
After completing the tutorial, players are given the option to try a different class before accepting their current one. Since each account only has a single character slot, it's important to pick the class you're most comfortable with. An additional trial battle is available after the tutorial, but is not required. Before moving on, players are rewarded with about a dozen items (including furniture and clothes), along with 2k in cash to start their adventures. A young, pink-haired girl named Sparks gives new players a short tour around the floating city of Wingdom, where GetAmped 2 takes place. The ability to explore the game world and visit such locales as the Prime Market (a giant shopping mall) and SpinSquare (a community park) is definitely one of the most distinguishing features of GetAmped 2. No other fighting MMO to date has the same level of immersion. The original Splash Fighters and other online fighters like Rumble Fighter are limited to a lobby, and thus remove any sense of a living virtual world.
Home Sweet Home
When the tour ends, Sparks drops players off in their own room. All players are given a small, instanced room, in which can be decorated and visited by others. New players can spend a few moments arranging the three pieces of furniture they received from the tutorial, and even change their room's background color. A skin editor option is also accessible from the player's room, which offers a nearly limitless set of customization options. Players can literally paint any design onto their avatar's clothes using a set of tools that resembles those found in MS paint. It is even possible to save designs onto your desktop and upload ones downloaded online. Not being the most artistic individual, I went about vandalizing my avatar with splashes of blue and green paint that just made my outfit look worse, but for those who want to put in the time, GetAmped 2 offers the best customization options of any fighting game.
A Fist Full of Dialogue
The RPG elements of GetAmped 2 are most apparent in its use of dialogue. When first visiting any area in the city, players are given an introduction via lengthy NPC chats. For some reason, I was reminded of the GameCube title Custom Robo while playing the game. Both are mainly fighting games with customizable parts (or weapons in this case) that contain single-player/story elements. The brightly-colored environments and NPCs definitely improve the overall package, but at times they can get a little annoying. A lot of the translations are off, and there are many flat out misspellings in the dialogue. These may not of been a top priority during development and testing, but hopefully they are patched up soon. Mercifully, all the dialogue scenes can be skipped for players who are not interested in joining the Mega Force Unit and saving Wingdom from the evil forces of the Val Shark Army.
Fighting With or Against Us
GetAmped 2 offers players two major gaming options, each in a different part of the city. Mega Force HQ is a great place for newbies to start since it offers co-op missions, which reward points (experience), cash, and items. Up to four players can participate in a co-op mission, of which there are dozens available. New stages will unlock as players level up and complete previous maps. Once inside the Mega Force HQ, players will generally receive invites to various games hosted by other players. Navigating the lobby menu is simple, and hosting your own game doesn't require and special rank or privileges. For competitive play, the GAT Stadium is where the action is. Here again, players can join or create matches. There are currently two match types – Private and Team. Both modes support up to eight players. In Private matches, players fight in a large free-for-all with the goal of being the last man standing. Team matches group players into two teams, and the last team with a member left standing is declared the winner. Co-op missions generally consist of one 'round', while competitive matches are made up of three rounds.
And… Action
Even with all the NPC dialogue, community features, and appearance customization, the most important part of a fighting game is the actual gameplay. Luckily, GetAmped 2 offers plenty of improvement on this front as well. I wasn't a huge fan of the original Splash Fighters because the fighting always felt a bit rigged or buggy. In this latest iteration, combat just feels more 'fluid.' Matches are still fast-paced, and its still easy to find yourself dead within moments if you're not careful. Newbies should be especially careful not to fall off ledges or hit their teammates. Get Amped 2 tracks players' rankings and stats. It's always fun to see where you rank and how you've improved from the previous day. The game does a good job of slowly giving out rewards in the form of cash with which to purchase new costumes and weapons. Even so, the game's premise isn't much different than before. It doesn't have the same level of detail as newer looking fighters like Lost Saga, but the graphics are better than the side-scrolling Mini Fighter Online. In the end, this is a casual game specifically made with ease of play and low-end system settings in mind. If you're looking for a simple action-oriented MMO with no upfront costs, you would do well to check out GetAmped 2.
Final Verdict: Fair
GetAmped 2 is a huge improvement over its predecessor, but still looks and feels like a dated game. Fans of the previous version and those with older computers will appreciate all that GetAmped 2 has to offer. Those looking for a flashier gaming experience may be disappointed.

Eightyfiveinafifty 'full of energy' following Whirlaway incident
EIGHTYFIVEINAFIFTY (Forest Camp) should be able to return to training in a week after receiving 14 stitches to repair a cut suffered during his premature departure from the racetrack during the running of Saturday's $100,000 Whirlaway S. at Aqueduct, trainer Gary Contessa reported Sunday morning.
Peppi Knows takes Whirlaway as Eightyfiveinafifty unseats rider
Philip J. Messina's PEPPI KNOWS (Stephen Got Even) flattered the form of Remsen S. (G2) winner Buddy's Saint (Saint Liam) with a one-length victory in Saturday's $100,000 Whirlaway S. at Aqueduct, but the real story of the 8 1/2-furlong test was 1-5 favorite Eightyfiveinafifty (Forest Camp) blowing the first turn.
366 Thoroughbreds Nominated Early for 2010 Triple Crown
The cream of this year's crop of 3-year-old Thoroughbreds has risen to the top once again as 366 members of that class have been nominated early for the 2010 renewals of America's three classic races that comprise horse racing's highly sought Triple Crown.
Winslow Homer sidelined, off Derby trail
Holy Bull S. (G3) winner WINSLOW HOMER (Unbridled's Song) is off the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail after the discovery of a stress fracture in a cannon bone, according to a statement by owner Rick Porter on his website.
Lookin at Lucky, Vale of York Share Experimental High Weight
Champion two-year-old colt LOOKIN AT LUCKY (Smart Strike) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) hero VALE OF YORK (Ire) (Invincible Spirit) share the high weight assignment of 126 pounds on the 2009 Experimental Free Handicap, released Thursday by The Jockey Club and available at jockeyclub.com.
Lookin at Lucky Named Champion Two-Year-Old Male
The synthetic era in California has been good to Hall of Fame horseman Bob Baffert, who for the second consecutive year has trained the nation's leading juvenile male using an all-California campaign. Following in the hoofsteps of 2008 champion Midshipman (Unbridled's Song) was Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman's LOOKIN AT LUCKY (Smart Strike), whose luck was all good save for an excusable setback by a head in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1).
Conveyance Continues to Shine in San Rafael
After winning his first two starts convincingly over maiden special weight and allowance rivals, Zabeel Racing International's CONVEYANCE (Indian Charlie) confirmed his status as an exciting Kentucky Derby (G1) prospect with a 1 3/4-length victory in Saturday's $100,000 San Rafael S. (G3).
Winslow Homer Enters Derby Picture in Holy Bull
Fox Hill Farms' WINSLOW HOMER (Unbridled's Song), who had dominated lesser foes in his past two starts, smoothly handled his first major class test in Saturday's $150,000 Holy Bull S.

Seems Weston will rely on logind, thus systemd.
Phoronix: The State Of Wayland, Weston (September 2013)
Kristian Høgsberg has provided a status update on the Wayland project and its associated Weston reference compositor...
Seems Weston will rely on logind, thus systemd.
Though, having said that, I'm pretty sure that Arch pulls down Weston as a dependency of something else, I could be wrong but I think it's Mesa. This isn't really an issue with Arch because Arch uses Systemd anyhow. But if Mesa pulls down Weston, and Weston pulls down Systemd, I could see issues with distros that don't use Systemd, they may not be too happy about that.
I probably should check my facts before I hit 'Submit Reply', but I'm not going to. So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Note that it was also mentioned at one time that a few DEs might use Weston as basis for their own implementation.
This in relation to the previous long discussions where various people say that there must be an option other than systemd, yet do nothing at all and also ignore the things that are going on. Every time there was a clear sign to take action I'll try and comment on it. Cannot say that the signs weren't there 2 years from now!
I wrote a blog about this, calling for actual work to be done. Basically the only response was angriness that other people aren't doing the work for them. Then various systemd using people saying: "meh".
Furthermore Etoile, Razor-Qt, KDE, Xfce, MATE, LXDE, ROX-Desktop, basically pretty much every DE other than Gnome has not made an announcement stating that systemd would become a dependency. Furthermore, many distros like Slackware and Puppy Linux will not transition to systemd due to the actual nature of the distribution. What of these?
I'd also like to see where it was 'mentioned at one time that a few DEs might use Weston as basis for their own implementation.'
Puppy Linux, never heard of it. From the website it says: "Small size, ~100MB!". Right, GNOME is way bigger than that. Yet another awesome example.
Etoile, never heard of it. Razor-qt, that is being written. XFCE, they actually do support/rely on systemd. MATE, the same. LXDE, no idea. ROX-desktop, wtf is that?
Anyway, your examples prove you wrong. If everything except some really specific stuff moves to systemd, then systemd it is.
Also, calling GPL and LGPL viral: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Jeez man, 1990s have passed! Move on!

Looking for Car Speakers?Start shopping
A budget-friendly car audio buildup
Building a car audio system in stages
Brittany's 2010 Dodge Charger
Some budding audiophiles look at building a car stereo as an "all or nothing" proposition. In other words, they make a wish list, look at the total cost, get nervous, and do nothing. It doesn't have to be that way, though. With a plan and a budget, you can install a great-sounding system in stages. It's easier on the wallet, and you'll enjoy hearing your system get better and better with each new step in the process.
Our 5-stage system buildup
Brittany, one of our Order Support Specialists, purchased her 2010 Dodge Charger just a few months ago. She loves the car, but not the weak factory stereo. When she asked us for advice on how to build a system on a budget, we surprised her by asking if we could use her car for a project we'd been discussing with our friends at Kenwood. Needless to say, she said yes!
Kenwood Excelon gear offers a tremendous amount of value for the money, so it's perfect for a project like this. The components are beautifully designed, well built, and they sound great. Plus, they come with a 2-year warranty. When you're building a system on a budget, that kind of peace of mind is a real bonus.
So, while Brittany didn't have to worry about budgeting her new system, the rest of us would! When planning your system, it's best to focus on the long term so that you know what to buy at each step along the way. Here is how we suggest building a big system like Brittany's over the course of five stages:
Install a new receiver, and a pair of coaxial speakers in the front doors
(Approximate cost: $400, including free installation gear)
Add component speakers up front, move the coaxial speakers to the rear
(Approximate cost: $200)
Add a 4-channel amp to power the new speakers
(Approximate cost: $500, including wiring and wiring kit)
Add two subwoofers and an enclosure; use the rear channels of the amp to power them and (temporarily!) put the rear speakers on deck power again
(Approximate cost: $350)
Add a mono amp to power the subs; reconnect the rear speakers to the rear channels of the first amp
(Approximate cost: $300, including wires and cables)
Beautiful beginnings
A new receiver is the best first step
Our experience has shown that installing a new receiver makes any system sound better immediately. The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X896 receiver we chose for Brittany's car sounds great, plus it's incredibly versatile. Brittany can enjoy music from her iPod® or CD collection, Pandora® or an HD Radio™ station, plus it's SiriusXM ready if she wants to add satellite radio. Built-in Bluetooth® gives her the convenience of hands-free calling on the road.
While the KDC-X896 is no longer available, check out our current lineup of Kenwood car stereos.
Sounds more like it
Full-range speakers add volume and value
We wanted Stage 1 to be a real difference-maker, so we installed a pair of Kenwood Excelon KFC-X183C speakers in the front doors. These massive 7" woofers and 1" tweeters deliver solid bass and crystal-clear highs; the improvement was quite noticeable. As a bonus, they also fit in the rear deck speaker location, which will come in handy during Stage 2. Brittany was impressed. "Wow!" she exclaimed. "It already sounds so much better than it did with the stock speakers!"
|With tweeters in the sail panels (left), Brittany enjoys a much-improved sound stage.
Higher highs, lower lows
Component speakers add depth and detail to the sound
Stage 2 added refinement to the system without blowing a hole in the budget. The Charger's front and rear speaker openings are the same size, so we were able to move the full-range speakers from Stage 1 to the rear deck, then swap in a set of Kenwood Excelon KFC-XP184C component speakers up front.
The 7" woofers fit into the door, while the 1" tweeters were surface-mounted on the sail panels. This "high-low" arrangement separates the bass and treble, elevates the soundstage, and adds new detail to Brittany's music. All this, combined with powerful fills from the relocated full-range speakers, makes the factory 4-speaker system seem like a distant (bad) memory: "That system was terrible," she said. "I love that I can turn this one up and it still sounds good."
|The wiring diagram for this system (click to enlarge)
Powering up and planning ahead
This 4-channel amp gives the system a real boost
The third stage of our buildup project combined instant gratification with long-range planning. The instant gratification came from the Kenwood Excelon X450-4, a powerful 4-channel amp that gave the system a real kick. We used it to power the front and rear speakers at this stage, knowing that this versatile amp would allow us to change things around as the buildup progressed.
We planned to install a sub and a mono amp shortly after, so while we were putting in the 4-channel, we pre-wired the car for our future installations (see diagram at right). We ran wire for the six channels we'd eventually need by running a third RCA cable for the subwoofer amp (to be added later) along with the two cables for the amp added at this stage.
We took full advantage of the Charger's rear-mounted battery – what a convenience for a car audio installation! To improve the efficiency of the system and our installation process, we used two 3-way power distribution blocks. That made it easy to hook up everything when we got to Stage 5, and we didn't have to remove the Charger's interior panels and seatbacks twice. That was a big time-saver on a project like this one.
|Twin 12" Kenwood Excelon subs look great in the Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker.
A space full of bass
Adding two subs for a bigger boom
In stage 4, we're powering the subs by bridging the rear two channels of the amp. The rear speakers are powered by the receiver, but we'll move them back to the 4-channel amp when we install a dedicated mono amp for the subs.
After adding power and raising the soundstage, it was time to focus on low-frequency performance. Brittany likes music with a lot of bass, so we mounted two 4-ohm Kenwood Excelon 12" KFC-XW-12 subs in a Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker. Since we'd already pre-wired the Charger's spacious trunk, the installation was relatively quick and painless.
Each sub is rated for up to 400 watts RMS, so two of them can handle anything Brittany wants to blast. They're also built for heavy use, with a dual ventilation system that keeps things cool, even on long drives at high volume. The Bass Bunker reduces vibrations and resonance to help the subs reproduce the deepest frequencies of Brittany's favorite tunes.
|Brittany helping with the amp wiring
The final step: more power
A dedicated mono amp delivers maximum thump
Brittany's new stereo system sounded terrific, but we weren't quite finished yet. Bridging the rear channels of the 4-channel amp was a good short-term solution, but big bass requires big power. A mono amp, like the Kenwood Excelon X500-1, gives the subs the juice they need to give Brittany the bass she wants. It's the perfect finishing touch to our budget-friendly buildup.
You can have an amazing aftermarket stereo system in your car, too. Installing a system in stages isn't just frugal, it's kind of fun. Give us a call, send us an email or log on to chat. Your Crutchfield advisor can help you plan a system that's right for your car, your budget, and your schedule.
Brittany loves the way her Charger sounds now. "I'm all about bass, but I like being able to hear everything else. When I really turn it up, the bass hits hard, but I can hear the singing, too. The whole system is amazing!"
