I figure this will be as craptacular as the first one.
The director of Amazing Spider-Man 2, Marc Webb, has officially released the first image of Paul Giamatti as The Rhino. There is an obvious change in The Rhino's appearance (see header for original look). So Giamatti is playing Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich aka The Rhino. Will he done the suit? Is this a more realistic portrayal? Sound off below Maniacs!
The Plot: In the 2014 sequel, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) finds life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 features Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Colm Feore, Sally Field and Chris Cooper.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 arrives May 2nd, 2014.

I loved Paul Giamatti in Cinderella Man, Sideways and Lady in the Water. Casting him as Rhino is left field. The same thing was done for Michael Keaton, Heath Ledger and Robert Downey, Jr.
I agree the conventional wisdom is to at least cast somebody who can play big and imposing. That's the character. But I'm interested in seeing how they'll do it with Giamatti.
Giamatti is an awesome talent! Too bad it's going to be wasted in this film. I'd much rather see him have a role in the Marvel studio's universe. Hell, I'd even be happy with him being in Fox's X-Men/FF universe for that matter.
It looks like he's got a scar on his forehead, suggesting some kind of lobotomy or brain surgery. In the video game, I think, he's the victim of experiments mixing human and animal DNA, so maybe that's the angle here. It could be that he represents a heretofore unknown route of experimentation being taken by OsCorp, this time on prisoners.
I agree. Raimi's SM was MEH compared to ASM. The first one was awesome and hope this one is as awesome too.
@ Rizing, but it was broken
ASM was pretty damn good despite some choppy editing. I think with that out of the way this one should be much better.
PG looks better than I envisioned. Hope the they do the Rhino costume justice
none of you know how this is gonna tun out. And I bet this is going to be better than that fucking joke IM3 and that retard drug addict alcoholic mandarin..
Might make sense if he's got little guy syndrome. He wants to be bigger so he gets the suit to disasterous effects.

I am glad to use this product, this helped my hair grow thicker and my nails become solid.Hair will grow very quickly.
I am glad to use this product. It helps me to look young and i will recommend it to use.
I think taking 3 of the pills twice daily seemed a little much so I only take one a day and they work great! I have noticed my nails are stronger, grow a little faster, my hair grows MUCH faster, and my complexion has improved. I am sure this is not the same for everyone but this is just what I have noticed.
My wife and I have been using these tablets regularly for the last 2 months and wow do they make a difference. Our hair is shinier, skin is smooth and healthy, and our nails are stronger and healthier. I had bad discoloration on one of my toenails that has been there for 3 years now (don't know what caused it but it wouldn't go away) and now it is nearly gone. My hair, skin, and nails have never looked or felt better! Just remember to take 3 pills a day like the instructions say. I was only taking one a day for the first few days until I actually decided to read the instructions lol...that's a man for ya ;-P This means that one bottle will only last 20 days for one person so buy up!

Artist Details : Richard Simkin |
Click here for a full list of all artwork by Richard Simkin |
Richard Simkin Born on November 5th 1850 and was born in Herne Bay Kent, England, Richard Simkin grew up in Aldershot, Hampshire, marrying his wife, Harriet, in 1880, and it is also believed he was a volunteer in the Artist's Rifles. He was employed by the War Office to design recruiting posters. He is probabaly best know for his series of Army regiments including Yeomanry and Colonial regiments, a weekly supplement print to the Army and Navy Gazette. In 1901 he created a series of 'Types of the Indian Army' for the Gazette. He obtained much of the information from the Colonial and India Exhibition of 1886. Over a period of over 50 years Richard Simkin produced thousands of watercolours of Army uniforms and watercolours of Army life and campaigns. Many of these paintings can be seen in regimental museums and messes. Simkin also contributed illustrations to The Army and Navy gazzette, the Boy's Own Magazine, and The Graphic and many paintings were used in books and publications of Raphael Tuck and Sons. Richard Simkin died on the 25th June 1926 at home at 7 Cavensigh Street, Herne Bay. Many of richard Simkin's antique prints have been reproduced as prints by Cranston Fine Arts and are available from our websites, along with many original antique prints which are hard to find these days.

Jeremy Draven These are great shoes and it's aesome that there are lots of vegan friendly options. The trouble i had with these is that the sizing was way out. Despite having purchased many pairs of etnies over the years in the same size i've found that recently the sizes seem to drastically change from pair to pair. I bought these and some marana canvas at around the same time in my usual size 9 and both were way too small so had to get rid of them. It's put me off buying online for now sadly. It would be nice to see half sizes comeback again too.
Russo Gennaro Giancarlo I don't regret nothing about this order. Promptly delivery (3 days from the order); the number that I've choice is the same that I always use; very comfortably shoe but i think that to understand it you have only to try it :) Thanks to Etniet.com
email@example.com Great fit, look good, comfy and good value.
Roy Hollinger love the shoe! had it in the tan(now discontinued, too bad), but when they wore out, needed to replace. I have the grey too.
saving the planet, one pair of shoes at a time! -
firstname.lastname@example.com Génial ! Rien à dire. Dans la vie rien est parfait, du coup je ne mets pas les 5 étoiles, mais l'idée est là :-)
ces those shoes are cool, comfortable and above all vegan!
email@example.com Since buying one pair to try, i now continue to buy them , I've gone through 4 pairs and just ordered 2 more, fits like a glove and comfort of a slipper , not as bulky as other skate shoes .
Richard Great looking, excellent fit on my size 12 feet, and very comfortable.
Christopher M Pollack Fits as it should. Very stiff out of the box, but a great looking shoe and value.
Jacob Perfect. Simple. No complaints.

DaimlerChrysler: Post-Merger News

Daimler-Benz AG, a large automobile manufacturer in Europe, and the Chrysler Corporation, one of the Big Three auto makers in North America, merged to create DaimlerChrysler. On the surface, everything seemed to be going as planned. In reality, all was not well. Organizational changes, conflicting information, and doubts about the future structure of the company resulted in the departure of numerous Chrysler employees, including many mid-level managers and engineers. While initially amalgamated into Daimler, the Chrysler Group ended up as one of three separate automotive divisions. In 2001, DaimlerChrysler recorded a $1.2 billion loss in operating profit (before one-time effects). Estimates for 2002 called for a break-even result, but the company was facing a $9 billion lawsuit filed by the 5th largest shareholder, who claimed that Daimler had deceived investors by touting the venture as a merger of equals.
learning objective:
To demonstrate the challenges encountered when integrating two very different cultures and how, if handled poorly, it can have a major impact on employees, the media, and investors; the credibility lost when publicized intentions are radically different from the actual execution; and the difficulties in integrating not only two radically different organizational cultures, but two different national cultures as well. Also to provide an opportunity for students to assess a firm's strategy, structure, processes, systems, policies, tasks, and people.

Clad in a festive costume, a man was arrested in a traffic stop on suspicion of being intoxicated, according to Lafayette police.
Lafayette police said a man, identified as 34-year-old Brandon Touchet, was dressed as "Buddy the Elf" from the popular Christmas movie "Elf" when he was pulled over in a traffic stop about 2:35 a.m. Sunday. He was pulled over when officers said he was going 60 mph in a 40 mph speed zone.
According to police, Touchet couldn't keep his balance after getting out of his vehicle. Touchet's eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred, according to KATC.
Touchet registered as having a blood alcohol level of .124 when he submitted to a breathalyzer test, according to police.
Touchet was charged with operating while intoxicated and excessive speeding. He was released on a $1,500 bond.

I like the custom....but I don't care if a figure gets made.
I'll say it again though...
GREAT job on the custom friend!
I don't know if ToyGuru ever mentioned if he is possible to be made, but I have always wanted a figure of the Windraider Pilot from the classic 80's poster. I made a quick mockup figure for him, and a bio to give the character some life. So post here to show your support for him.
This "Unknown Pilot" made his first appearance during the Great Unrest. During the battle, Tri-Klops was ready to attack Man-at-arms from behind, but Sky-High came swooping in on his Air Stryker vehicle and took out Tri-Klops with a blaster shot to save the day. To show his gratitude for saving his life, Duncan upgraded the heroic pilots Air Stryker vehicle with new weapons and it is now known as The Wind Raider. Duncan also gave the unknown pilot the nickname Sky-High, for his ability to manuever through the skies at incredible speeds and heights with ease. He now serves the Eternian Royal guard as the greatest pilot in Eternias history, and waits to aid the Masters of the Universe at any time he is needed.

I'd buy 'em if he came with the Windraider....
I can think of over 100 other figures I would want before this guy.
It's not that I hate this character but if I had the choice between this pilot and say someone important like Ram Man...I'll take Ram Man.
No need to waste a figure slot on a character like this.
I'd buy him in a heartbeat. I love the stuff that I never knew existed before!
Just as I'd be interested to buy the un-named pilots/drivers from the Monogram Roton, Attak Trak and Talon Fighter, I'd also be happy to have this guy produced.
In fact, I don't think I'd ever heard of him before!

Great potential for 2-packs here. One of pilots - Wind Raider and Talon Fighter. The other for drivers - Attak Trak and Roton. I'd buy 'em!!
Mattel... Please bring back 200x styled stactions!!
THis is the kind of character they should have for the club exclusive...
Maybe sometime waaaaay down the line!

While I do like obscure characters this one does not look very appealing to me. Worse his colors work very bad with colors of the windraider imho. He looks more like a horde characters. Nice custom though.

If they make the Wind Raider, package him with it and we'd have a winner! I'd buy that.

I would LOVE to get all the art work pilots/drivers I'm all over it.
I doubt they will package them with vehicles though, but it's a fun idea!
I like Jin Saotome's name for him better: Air-Ro. More Mastery.
Count me in; this mystery dude is perfect for MOTUC!!!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I'd like it if he came with the Wind Raider.
I like the name too... I have a feeling that whatever name Mattel comes up with, if any, it won't be as good or take the place of "Sky-High."
Although, it would be cool if he had more of a suit of armor, and it ended up being Marlena... kind of an homage to "The Rainbow Warrior."
A Want List of Sorts: Saurod, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Snake Mountain, Prahvus, Veena, King Chuboolu, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.
I'd like him if he was an exclusive or a bonus figure.
That being said...he looks too much like Cobra Commander.
No thanks- we have soooo many existing characters to trawl through. I don't need background cameo characters taking up a slot.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets King Ahgo
Yes, I'd like this one and those other unnamed drivers/pilots.
No connection to the Unnamed One, I'm sure, but they're still not named as far as I know.
ne jabba no badda!

Surgery is often used to treat thymomas, and giving chemotherapy before surgery can help treat the disease in advanced cases and raise the chance of surgery being successful. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of giving combination chemotherapy plus cetuximab before surgery in patients with thymoma to see if this treatment increases the chance of a cure.
Cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide are commonly used to treat thymoma. Cetuximab will be added to this regimen before surgery. Cetuximab is approved for the treatment of advanced colorectal and head and neck cancers, but its use for thymoma is considered investigational.
It is thought that thymomas might respond to cetuximab because they contain a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor. Cetuximab works by blocking this receptor and preventing cancer cells from receiving the message to grow and multiply.
Researchers will also look at changes in genes in the tumor that may be related to the effectiveness of cetuximab.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. James Huang at 646-888-3055.

This cogged belt has a 0.375" top width, is approximately 1.5" in total width, and is manufactured in a 4-ribbed joined construction for increased flexibility and heat dissipation. It is static conductive, making it appropriate in the presence of explosive gases, liquids, powders, and other substances where the possibility of static sparks must be kept to a minimum.
The HY-T Wedge belt's narrow design allows the use of smaller or fewer belts than classical V-belts to transmit an equivalent load, maximizing power transmission efficiency by reducing drive weight and size. It is built with Vytacord tension members, a synthetic reinforcement that increases overall tensile strength and lends dimensional stability so that drive performance is more consistent and predictable over the life of the belt. Cogs on the inner surface of the belt increase air flow to dissipate heat and prolong belt life. The belt is backed in oil-and abrasion-resistant fabric, providing longitudinal flexibility and lateral strength to the joined belt. The fabric bonds to the V-sections to maintain the singularity of the belt. Banded belts are a collection of individual belts that transmits horsepower to the power transmission drive as a single belt. Frequently used in abusive environments such as farming and manufacturing, they are constructed to withstand oily, dirt-filled manufacturing environments and the heat of the outdoors.
Veyance Technologies, Inc. manufactures and sells Goodyear Engineered Products, including industrial power transmission products, conveyor belts, hydraulics, rubber track, and automotive and truck products. It is based in Fairlawn, OH.

Cards visit Rockies to start Helton's last homestand
St. Louis turns to Lynn as McHugh makes spot start for Colorado
The Rockies may not be part of a postseason race this year, but Colorado fans figure to have plenty of reason to come out to Coors Field on Monday as the club begins its final homestand of the 2013 season against the Cardinals.
Rockies legend Todd Helton will take the field in front of his hometown fans on Monday for the first time since announcing over the weekend that he plans to retire at the end of the season. Though the 17-year veteran said he preferred to stay out of the spotlight, he ultimately decided -- at the urging of others -- to make the announcement ahead of Colorado's final homestand.
"It was brought up to me last week that I couldn't look at it from my perspective, that I had to look at it from the fans'," said Helton, who spent his entire career with the Rockies. "That it would be selfish if I didn't [announce it now], and I never thought of it that way. Once I heard that, I said, 'Let's do it.' We're going into the last homestand, and I wanted to go into that homestand knowing it would be my last."
Though Helton won't have the thrill of being part of one last playoff push, the last-place Rockies will have the chance to play spoiler against the visiting Cardinals.
St. Louis comes to town for the four-game set locked in a tie with Pittsburgh atop the National League Central. Though the Cardinals appear bound for their third straight playoff appearance one way or another, they obviously would prefer to claim their first division title since 2009 and avoid playing in the Wild Card game.
Winners of seven of their last nine games and three straight series, the Cardinals will call on Lance Lynn in the series opener. The right-hander is winless in his last seven starts dating back to Aug. 9, though he is coming off a solid outing Wednesday against the Brewers.
"We haven't made it a secret all season how valuable our starting pitching is and how quality pitching translates to us in the win-loss column," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We understand that. Lance is one of our guys. We need him right, just like we need the rest of them right."
Lynn showed signs of returning to form on Wednesday when he limited Milwaukee to just one unearned run off five hits over six innings, while striking out 10, though he settled for a no-decision. Though his winless streak continued, it was a vast improvement from his previous six outings in which the righty was 0-5 with a 6.88 ERA.
"It was a very good outing and that's something that I know he was ready to see," Matheny said. "It was one that was more consistent than he's had in a while. Hopefully it's just a sign of what's to come."
Cardinals: Craig not making trip
First baseman Allen Craig is not traveling with the club for its series in Colorado, instead staying back in St. Louis as he continues to recover from a sprained left foot.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said staying behind in St. Louis will allow Craig to get in more rehab work than he would be able to on the road. The skipper also declined to gauge the impact of Craig's absence on his club's lineup.
"I don't think that's fair to these guys," Matheny said. "I don't think it's fair to Matt Adams or Carlos [Beltran] hitting in the four-spot. We've got a good enough lineup. Would we like to have Allen available and part of it? Sure. But that's not where we are."
The Cards have played well in Craig's absence, racking up a 7-3 record since the first baseman suffered the injury on Sept. 4. There remains no definitive timetable for his return, though the club hopes he can return before the end of the regular season.
Rockies: De La Rosa pushed back, McHugh to start
Southpaw Dane De La Rosa will not make his scheduled start on Monday because of a sore left thumb. Righty Collin McHugh will make a spot start in De La Rosa's place.
De La Rosa left Tuesday's start against the Giants during the second inning with discomfort in his left thumb and index finger. The thumb injury has plagued De La Rosa throughout the season, though he has still gone 16-6 with a 3.49 ERA in 30 starts, including 8-1 since July 10.
"We're not sure how much we'll push him back," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We haven't gotten as far as shutting him down for the season yet. Just push back his start a little at this time. We have guys down there in the 'pen, who have made a number of starts so we wouldn't have to piece it together."
McHugh made one spot start for the Rockies earlier this season after being acquired from the Mets. He allowed six runs on nine hits over five innings against the Brewers on July 27.
Worth noting
• Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina on Sunday snapped out of an 0-for-15 slump with a 4-for-5 performance against the Mariners that included a home run and three runs scored. Molina is 5-for-11 (.455) with a home run and two RBIs lifetime against De La Rosa.

i would say check out Xreal source code.
Which is the most advanced GPLd OpenGL FPS 3D engine today, even if in Beta version?
By "most advanced" I mean support the most and latest and greatest OpenGL graphics features.
By GPL I mean GNU Public Licence (v2, v3 etc), and not free as in gratis but closed source.
By FPS I mean First Person Shooter, as in Quake, Quake 2, ioquake, Nexuiz, Sauerbraten, Urban Terror, etc.
For this particular question I am not interested in physics or AI. Those aspects could have been a separate questions.
i would say check out Xreal source code.
Xreal, I'd say.
edit: Heh ^
Either Xreal or Nexuiz I guess...
Xreal supposedly is more advanced, but from what I've seen Nexuiz right now offers the better visual experience.
As far as FPS themselves, a say the current incarnation of Alien Arena is one of the more (if not the most) advanced out there. Nexuiz too.
Coo, never heard of it before. Stunning!
Here is what I did to run it.
# Go to your home directory
# Get the source for XreaLCode:cd
# If this doesn't work, make sure you have Subversion installed and try again.Code:svn co https://xreal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xreal/trunk/xreal XreaL
# Go the XreaL directoryCode:aptitude install subversion
# Compile the game for your platform, eg x86_64Code:cd XreaL
# If you get compile errors, make sure you have all necessary libraries installed and try again. For example, I had to install quite a few:Code:scons arch=linux-x86_64
# Compile the map compiler, using "scons"Code:aptitude install scons libboost-all-dev libsdl1.2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libsndfile1-dev libopenal-dev libxml2-dev
# Go the ~/XreaL/base/maps folder.Code:scons xmap=1
# Compile e.g. the "default" map which has a screenshotCode:cd base/maps
# Compile e.g. the kat_q4dm3 mapCode:./xmap2_compile -all test_box.map
# Compile e.g. the GWDM2 map.Code:./xmap2_compile -all kat_q4dm3.map
# Run the gameCode:./xmap2_compile -all gwdm2.map
Awesome looks!
Warsow, perhaps?
Sure, the media's restricted, but all the code is GPL'd. When it comes to software, generally that's what counts. Firefox's media is restricted too, you know - but I doubt anyone here would argue that Firefox isn't OSS.
i only use this commandCode:scons jobs=2 build=release
Ogre is quite advanced toom it's a good, modern, C++ gaming engine.

The easiest and quickest way to traverse the crowded city is on the subway, which serves all the main areas of interest. Station signs are written in English as well as Korean, and most lines have English announcements too. Subways are extremely crowded during the morning and evening rush hours, but are generally safe, though plagued with hawkers and beggars. Tickets are bought from vending machines or at ticket windows. Buses are frequent and cover the whole city, but tend to be very crowded. Tickets can be bought on boarding, or debit tickets can be purchased. Taxis are readily available. Regular taxis (white or silver) charge KRW 1,600 as an initial fee and have a complex system of metering thereafter. Black luxury taxis, called Mobeom taxis, are superior both in condition and service.
Electrical current is 110 or 220 volts, 60Hz. Most hotels operate on 220 volts. Two-pin round plugs are standard.
The official currency is the South Korean Won (KRW). Currency can be exchanged at most banks and at casinos. Most merchants in the cities accept major credit cards, but Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the machines are generally only in Korean. Most public ATMs at convenience stores and subway stations are available 24 hours. US Dollars are an accepted form of foreign currency and can be used in the areas in and around the American military bases in South Korea.
The international dialling code for South Korea is +82. Telecommunications are well developed and internet cafes are widely available. Although mobile telephones are widely used by locals, there is no GSM network and some foreign phones will not work in South Korea, even when on international roaming. It's possible to hire a local mobile phone.
Emergencies: 112 (Police); 119 (Ambulance)
An express railway connection operates between Seoul station, Gimpo Airport (which handles domestic flights) and Incheon International. Visitors can transfer to the city along the Airport Expressway by public or courtesy bus from the airport Transportation Centre. The journey takes about an hour and a half. Tickets and information can be obtained from the Bus Ticketing Office at Exits 4 and 9 (indoors) and Exits 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 9C (outdoors). There is also a ferry service from Incheon port to Yeongjong-do.
AJ Rentacar and KT Kumho Rent-A-Car operate from kiosks at airport arrivals.
To catch a taxi into Seoul, exit Arrivals via Gates 4 through 8, cross the street, and make your way to the taxi stands located at platforms 4D to 7C. The taxi ride to Seoul central will cost between KRW 43,000 and KRW 100,000 during the day, and take around one hour. Road tolls and surcharges may be added to the fare. Drivers seldom speak English so write down your destination in Korean on a piece of paper.
The two terminals are connected by moving walkways and inter-terminal shuttles.
This well-equipped airport has bureaux de change and banks, a large variety of restaurants and other eateries, numerous duty-free shops and a basement supermarket. There is a mobile phone rental outlet and internet kiosks, pharmacies, saunas, hair salons, a post office and luggage storage facilities.
There is short and long-term parking located within walking distance of the main terminal. Short-term parking rates start at KRW 1,200 for the first 30 minutes, to a daily maximum of KRW 14,000, but prices vary according to parking lot. Long-term parking, connected to the terminal building via shuttle, is charged at KRW 8,000 per day.
Seoul Incheon International Airport offers free wifi throughout the airport.

well maybe there will be some use of my steam accounts after all.
they're laying around useless recently.
Just found a nice link at holarse.de:
In short: It is a job offer for a senior software engineer that would be responsible for "Port Windows-based games to the Linux platform." and "Manage the operation of large clusters of machines running both Windows and Linux in a highly available system.". So is Valve finally gonna admire that there is a gaming market on Linux? Or are they only trying to get their server work natively on Linux, too?
Looks like time for some speculation has come...
well maybe there will be some use of my steam accounts after all.
they're laying around useless recently.
ID have always been the champion of linux gaming, and i have always bought their products regardless of my ambivalence towards mindless shooters..
now that ID have decided that linux is not important for their gaming future (tech5), I will be delighted to support Valve if they choose to take up the position of figurehead of linux gaming.
If Valve starts to port that would be nice. My only issue with that is though that we have plenty of shooters. I was hoping for a company with a game selection more like timegatestudios that do RTS style.
We don't have many native RTS games that are commercial. Kohan: Immortal Soverigns by timegate is one but support was dropped rather early and none of there sequals came to linux.
I will buy any game valve ports none the less. As I collect linux games. Only 10 left to go unless more come out this year like I am expecting, like Savage: A Tortured Soul, UT3 and I think if I recall 1 or 2 others, I'd have to look them up but am feeling lazy right now.
So Valve...
Bring the games to linux and we will buy them. If not for the fact they came out for linux but because it seems people actually like your games.
If it's true, this will allow to make the Linux (gamimg) community much, much bigger. It would be the bomb of a news. I could play my favourite HL2Mod, finally. fglrx 8.41.7 and under don't even support DX8 or DX9 using Wine with Source Engine-based games.
Anyone remember those competitive trade-ins where they'd just take whatever competing product you had in trade for what a company might be selling...
Then they'd smash what you traded in, just to keep it off of the market?
Maybe they just want to keep all the people willing and able to do Linux game programming from working on linux game programming, by hiring them.
Have they? They never once indicated that Linux was officially supported until the official betas started for ANY of their previous games. I am not going to suppose either way, but it bothers me a bit to see people assuming that they're NOT because they're not saying anything, using all kinds of circular logic to justify the statements made.
You don't know WHAT any studio is going to do/not do until they make OFFICAL statements to that line of action.
That's not to say it's not fun trying to second guess them- just don't be making blanket statements like "They've given
up on us" when you have NOTHING in hand to actually PROVE it. It's noise we all don't need- and it'll add to any considerations that they might have to actually NOT doing things.

Carmack himself said, Linux wasn't that important to him anymore. According to a german IT-site he was one of the major driving forces in porting to Linux. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
I'd consider buying HL2 and the extensions, if they decide to take that giant step towards Linux-Gaming.
This could be a very big thing, providing it's their current/future AAA titles.
Even if it's not, it'll still have a positive effect. This news is only good news!
Yeas!!! No more waiting for Wine to fix problems after Steam updates. I guess the Wine people have been bugging Valve so much that they have seen the light.
I wonder if its gonna be a Wine based solution like Google did with Picasa or actually making games native.
Really great news!!!

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Jury selection has been scheduled for March for a suspended Roman Catholic priest in Connecticut charged in an alleged methamphetamine drug-selling operation.
Sixty-one-year-old Monsignor Kevin Wallin of Waterbury remains detained without bail on federal charges accusing him of shipping methamphetamine from California to his apartment and making more than $300,000 in drug sales in the second half of last year. He was one of five people arrested and indicted by a grand jury this month.
Wallin resigned as pastor of St. Augustine Parish in Bridgeport in June 2011, citing health and personal problems. Diocese of Bridgeport officials suspended him last May.
A diocese spokesman told the Connecticut Post that there were complaints about Wallin's appearance, erratic behavior and sexual encounters with men in the St. Augustine rectory.

Any guesses?
(Was Petraeus/Allen left outside that protocol?)
A sign of over reaching. They Left does that. The more we see the better as that means it won't be long before they fall at their own hand.
Obama officials business is none of your business ,you know
How else would a communist-wanna-be regime communicate!
Three questions for Benghazi-Coward Obama:
1.) Are you HIDING INFORMATION from the US Congress about the Benghazi Massacre?
2.) Have you been LYING to the US Congress, The Media, or the American Public about the Benghazi Massacre?
3.) Were you, as Commander in Chief, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT about your responsibilities to protect and assist those four Americans who subsequently were murdered in the Benghazi Massacre?
BTW, the large cap words were the same as the 3 charges handed down yesterday to BP for punishment of their Gulf of Mexico underwater blowout, a while back.
Since the US Government is going to hold a company accountable for their poor decisions, then it should hold its CIC accountable his poor decisions, AND use the same legal charges.
Most.. Transparent.. Administration.. Ever....
Well if you exclude all the ones before it.
For the list
"Obama officials business is none of your business ,you know"
I thought I was their employer and it was my business they were working for. Silly me. I'm here for them.
Allow me to play Dear Leader for a moment. (wretch, puke, shiver,dizzy at the thought)
The answer to your three questions are:
1.) Are you HIDING INFORMATION from the US Congress about the Benghazi Massacre?
2.) Have you been LYING to the US Congress, The Media, or the American Public about the Benghazi Massacre?
3.) Were you, as Commander in Chief, GROSSLY NEGLIGENT about your responsibilities to protect and assist those four Americans who subsequently were murdered in the Benghazi Massacre?
Er..uh, No.
See how easy it is for Dear Leader to tell you the truth as he defines it?
Please excuse me while I go soak myself in Clorox and scrub myself clean.
The only thing transparent about Obama is that he is a liar.
4th question: Why piss on the Constitution for weeks on end when you knew it was an act of terrorism?
You left out the pan to the right hand teleprompter to confirm answer #2.
...includes EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson's use of the fake name "Richard Windsor", and hidden e-mail accounts...
Please tell me that is an actual sign.
Are you a narcissistic sociopath?
"Please tell me that is an actual sign."
Nothing is real anymore. It's all a (bad) dream. Sleep tight.
Your post was blank
I had posted a pic of the real sign from the "sepons" (hold your screen up to a mirror)domain which is a no-no-no and the pic got yanked. Sorry.
That is along the same lines I have been thinking.
Libs in general routinely let their reach exceed their grasp. BamaClaus makes a profession of it. The worst rub is that we are likely to be the one's paying for it.
At some point he will alienate a sufficient segment of his base and his dem Congress-critters that they will put the brakes on him, otherwise it will fall to us and that will not be a nice peaceful process.
It would be nice if the media would ask the guy in jail for making the video a question. Just one? Just show up and interview the guy. He's only been thrown in the gulag for some unexplained "probation violation". I'm sure he is the only person on planet Earth doing actual time for a "probation violation" for using a computer. Maybe? How many other people does America have locked up for violating the "no computer" rules. ????
Not excusing law breaking, but seems like they arrested and perp-walked the guy for propaganda purposes.
Recall how many Hollywood asswipes recently made excuses for the bastard filmmaker hiding out in Switzerland; the one that seduced and raped the underage girl. These #s are diehard Leftwingers — the type of scum that revel in the downfall of the Constitution and our Liberties, the "radical" rights we cherish.
And now that they have, does any Arab country even care?
A good question deserving of a dissertation. Something I could see Steyn writing about.
The US Congress KNEW and enables.
ENABLES felonies and treason, daily. ENABLES.
They WORKED WITH and for HASAN since the 2008 Inauguration
when Obama introduced him.
Where is the justice? FOR THEM ONLY.
They made Islam free of ObamaCARE.
Where is the justice? FOR THEM ONLY.
They have worked with the coup detat by those
who attacked the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon,
over and over. And they handed the USA to the attackers
as Americans CANNOT longer even speak their name
or even the word "terrorist".
Now they attempt to play the dunce as they
plot with the UN for the end game over those
whom were gulled into electing(*) them.
(*) DNC and DOJ systematic
fraud makes this word quite inaccurate.
The congressman is so behind the times.
The person Richard Windsor is a transvestite. As a sexual degenerate in liberal times, expressing the female in power image to mask the milquetoast male persona is not only fashionable but must be promoted to insure cultural diversity
This Benghazi thing involves the DEATH of 4 people and it's treated like it's just some flawed occurrence which is not worthy of investigation by the majority of the press.
It's 100 times bigger than watergate ever was, yet no one cares what Obama was doing during the attack. There is no such thing anymore as responsible journalism, we do not deserve to have a "Free Press"
Wishful thinking I am afraid. The democriters are all of the same cloth. Given a chance to unseat the last Dem liar in the White House, they voted no. This time there will be no vote.
This is great news. The public gets transparency. We need to hammer on this one over and over again. 2014 is very close and we can capture the Senate. Then it's game over for Obama's last two years.
Imagine two years of investigations in the House and the Senate.
Now you know why he uses a blackberry phone. Blackberry instant messages to other blackberries don't show up in your email records.
With slick's impeachment, at least the economy was booming enough to blind the dems to the dangers.
This whole Pinnochio administration should be in prison...and then deported.
So? If the Congress does nothing about it...so what?
We have become a banana republic
This should be a federal felony crime!
"Transparent" means you can't see it.
But I can see where you would be confused.
Now go pay your taxes - your government is broke. :)
Sworn testimony for Obama/Dems will only result in mass lying under oath.
Only way to get truth out of Obama and the Dems would be to use the same methods as used in investigating organized crime.
No wonder they are so against water boarding!!!!
and this is news?
Everyone knew these pricks were using mail outside their government provided @.gov's.
Not you OP, to the article.
thnx fer the post....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Customer Reviews for Brown Blindsgalore Privacy Vertical Window Blinds
"Beautiful Blinds"
By customer
Blinds were professionally packaged and easy to install. I do have experience with furniture that needs to be assembled so I found these easy to install. I also did not have to drill new holes for the brackets. If I had to drill new holes I would consider that the hardest part of the installation. With a previous purchase I made I had an issue with not being able to rotate the vanes. I emailed support and actually received a phone call within a day or two on how to fix the problem. I would highly recommend!

These are great blinds- would like the choice of cord weights or cord tie downs though. These blinds have sturdy chains.

Note: The results for this measure were not certified due to a lawsuit that was filed.Aftermath
With the passage of the measure, Muslims in the state planned for action against the measure in court. According to reports, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Oklahoma would file the lawsuit, which will claim that the measure is unconstitutional. Muneer Awad, executive director of the group, stated that the measure is deceptive and misleads people into believing that there is a threat from Islam in the country. The lawsuit, according to Awad, had planned to be filed in federal court by as early as November 4, 2010. According to reports, the measure was indeed filed on that day, with Awad listed as the plaintiff. The complaint filed with the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma can be read here.[3][4]
On November 29, 2010, an injunction was issued by U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange on the measure which will continue to bar the law from taking effect in the state. The injunction will also allow Miles-LaGrange to consider arguments from both sides of the lawsuit. According to the order, "The court finds that defendants have presented no evidence which would show the amendment is justified by any compelling interest or is narrowly tailored." Muneer Awad will now ask that the court issue a permanent injunction on the measure. The outcome of the lawsuit could be appealed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.[5]

Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot title that voters saw on their ballot read:[6]
This measure amends the State Constitution. It changes a section that deals with the courts of this state. It would amend Article 7, Section 1. It makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using Sharia Law.
International law is also known as the law of nations. It deals with the conduct of international organizations and independent nations, such as countries, states and tribes. It deals with their relationship with each other. It also deals with some of their relationships with persons. The law of nations is formed by the general assent of civilized nations. Sources of international law also include international agreements, as well as treaties. Sharia Law is Islamic law. It is based on two principal sources, the Koran and the teaching of Mohammed. Shall the proposal be approved? For the proposal Yes: __________ Against the proposal No: __________ |
The summary of the measure read:[7]
- A Joint Resolution direction the Secretary of State to refer to the people for their approval or rejection a proposed amendment to Section 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma; creating the Save Our State Amendment; requiring the courts of this state to uphold and adhere to the law as provided in federal and state constitutions, established common law, laws, rules and regulations; prohibiting consideration of certain laws; providing ballot title; and directing filing.
Constitutional changes
The measure was proposed to amend Section 1, Article 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution.[7]
Sharia Law
The following are certain points of Sharia Law:[8]
- Sharia Law is described as "a religious code for living, in the same way that the Bible offers a moral system for Christians."
- Sharia Law cites "Haram" offenses that carry punishments for those who commit them.
- Offenses include pre-marital sex, adulter, alcohol intake, theft, robbery, etc.
- Sharia Law has been adopted across various countries.
- Sharia Law is intended to be applied to only Muslims.
- Representative Rex Duncan was the chief author of the bill, and stated that Sharia law was a "cancer" in the United Kingdom because those courts enforced shariah. Duncan stated, "SQ 755 will constitute a pre-emptive strike against Shariah law coming to Oklahoma." Duncan also added, "While Oklahoma is still able to defend itself against this sort of hideous invasion, we should do so."[2]
- Representative Lewis Moore co-authored the bill and commented on Sharia law and how it shouldn't be used in court rulings: "I don't think we should accept or encourage Sharia law in any way, shape or form."[2]
- Senator Anthony Sykes co-authored the bill and was on the record as saying, "Shariah law coming to the U.S. is a scary concept. Hopefully the passage of this constitutional amendment will prevent it in Oklahoma."
- A campaign called Act! For America, begun what reports called a "media blitz" in the state of Oklahoma. The campaign included a radio ad that began airing on October 18, 2010 and opinion articles in state newspapers. Brigitte Gabriel, CEO of the campaign, stated, "We want to make sure that the people in Oklahoma are educated about what Shariah law is all about and its ramifications. We're not taking any chances with this initiative passing marginally. We hope it passes with great victory."[2]
- An opinion column written by Brigitte Gabriel, international terrorism analyst and president of ACT! for America.org, and Lauren Losawyer of ACT!, argued, "Sharia law, in short, is a comprehensive, theo-political law system used in many Islamic countries including Iran that is based on precepts contained in the Quran and the hadith (the sayings and traditions of Mohammed). Under sharia law, women have few rights compared to men, freedom of speech is severely curtailed and freedom of religion is limited or nonexistent."[9]
- John Swails, who was the director of the Center for Israel and Middle East Studies at Oral Roberts University, stated the law was "pretty well solidified", however it was different from separate Islamic nations. Swails was for the measure, because "They'll tell you it provides religious freedom, but that's true only if you're a Muslim." Swails also stated that he sees that the law's supporters are beginning a campaign to have the U.S. embrace Sharia."[10]
- Representative Cory Williams stated, "If I was a Muslim Oklahoman, I would be offended by my religion being singled out. Some people buy into the whole butterfly theory that if a judge in Europe flaps his wings and adopted Sharia law then it will come to Oklahoma. I, on the other hand, do not."
- Saad Mohammed, director of Islamic information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, opposed the measure. Mohammed stated that Sharia Law coincides with about 80% of the United States Constitution. This, according to Mohammed, reflects justice and equality for all and that extremists use Sharia in a distorted way. Mohammed claimed, "Sharia is more of a protection than something used to oppress."[2]
- Razi Hashmi, executive director of CAIR-Oklahoma, said there were more pressing issues in the state that needed more attention from lawmakers instead of this issue. Hashmi countered claims by Rex Duncan that the CAIR wanted Sharia Law in the the state and nation. Hashmi claimed, "That's absolutely absurd. I don't know anybody who wants Sharia here. Where is he getting that?"[2][11]
- Spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Tulsa Sandra Rana said that the question was a "non-issue". According to Rana, "I don't know why anyone feels we should spend valuable time and resources on this. There are so many other important issues that need to be addressed."[10]
- According to Orvil Harris, who participated actively in the Islamic Society of Ada, "I don't think there needs to be something like this now. I'm interested in what is going on in this country, and I don't want to do anything to make Islam objectionable."[12]
- Jari Askins, gubernatorial candidate, was against the measure, stating, "The last time I looked at my old notes from law school, most of America's jurisprudence system was based on England and jurisprudence there, so I think we need to be, really, smarter, about how we phrase some of these things."[13]
- Resident Mohamed Boudhhir argued that the measure sent a message of hatred and that people who were not Muslims shouldn't be concerned with Sharia Law. Boudhhir stated, "As long as it doesn't affect you in any way, why should you be concerned how I solve a problem between me and my brother, or neighbor who is Muslim. I do not think it should be a matter of concern for a non-Muslim."[14]
- According to Muneer Awad, another executive director of CAIR stated, "We take a stand in opposition to the proposed amendment. It's ridiculous that anyone would suggest it would happen. Our Constitution would not allow any religious law to supersede the existing laws."[2]
Media endorsements
- The Tulsa Beacon made recommendations for all the state questions on the ballot, and recommended a 'yes' vote on the measure.[15]
- The Oklahoman recommended a 'no' vote on the measure, stating, "As it is, judges exclusively use state and federal law to guide their judicial decision-making. Passing the question might make some politicians happy and make some Oklahomans feel better. That's all it would do. Voters should reject it as unnecessary."[16]
- The Enid News and Eagle recommended a 'no' vote on the measure, stating, "This measure would prohibit the use of international or Sharia law when cases are decided in Oklahoma courts. There is no need for this law because judges exclusively use state and federal law to guide their decisions. This is meant as nothing more than a feel-good measure."[17]
- The Tulsa World was against the measure, recommending a 'no' vote: "SQ 755 would prohibit state judges from using international law, and specifically Shariah law, in making their decisions. The proposal is bigoted and seeks to solve a nonexistent problem. It should be rejected."[18]
- The Oklahoma Daily was against the measure, stating, "We say: NO. Oklahoma couldn't miss out on the Islamophobia in America. If passed, SQ 755 would outlaw the use of Sharia Law in state courts. The idea that these courts use or could use Sharia is ridiculous, and the measure implies Oklahoma's Muslims are all extremists trying to subvert U.S. laws. Let's not marginalize the state's Muslim population."[19]
- See also: Polls, 2010 ballot measures
- In a poll conducted by SoonerPoll.com, 49 percent of voters polled stated that they were for the measure. The poll surveyed likely registered voters in the state, which included 385 Democrats, 340 Republicans and 31 independents. The margin of error was reported to be 3.57 percentage points and was commissioned by the Tulsa World.[20]
- In one of the last polls taken by SoonerPoll before the general election, the results showed support of the measure by those surveyed. The poll included 384 Democrats, 345 Republicans and 24 independents.[21]
Date of Poll | Pollster | In favor | Opposed | Undecided | Number polled |
July 16-21, 2010 | SoonerPoll.com | 49% | 24% | 27% | 755 |
October 18-23, 2010 | SoonerPoll.com | 57% | 24% | 19% | 753 |
Path to the ballot
The Oklahoma State Legislature can approve a proposed amendment by a majority vote. However, if the state legislature wants the proposed amendment to go on a special election ballot, it has to approve the amendment by a 2/3rds vote.
