Ian Desmond drives in the winning run with a ninth-inning single.
Game in a nutshell: Stephen Strasburg and Ryan Dempster's brilliance on the mound are overshadowed by late heroics at the plate by Chad Tracy and Ian Desmond. Brad Lidge closes out the ninth to earn his first save as the Nationals steal an Opening Day thriller at Wrigley Field.
Hitting highlight: With the game tied in the ninth, Tracy delivers a two-out double off the wall in right-center. Moments later, Desmond comes through with his third hit of the day, scoring pinch-runner Brett Carroll and putting the Nats on top for good.
Pitching highlight: Making his first career Opening Day start, Strasburg is everything the Nationals could have asked him to be. The young right-hander is incredibly efficient early, needing only 12 pitchesRead more »

Isn't this pretty much exactly what most pundits predicted Nats games would look like? Great pitching, solid defence, virtually no hitting. The only oddity, Desy getting 75% of the team's hits.That will make for a nice day off tomorrow.

Take away the wind and you're not looking at a 2-1 game. So, is this game a precursor? Time will tell. That's why they play all 162 of them.

Clippard was terrific..and lidge..what are you gonna do, they're major league hitters..Werth could have caught it but it would have been an amazing play..the play at home was the game…i'm sure the Cubs clubhouse was angry..they outhit us 6-4 and outpitched us for the most part (10 k's) except for Wood..3 walks? not good
- Anonymous - Apr 5, 2012 at 10:50 PM
I'll take the win too, but how about the man behind Zim. Two times he could have put the ball to the right side and driven in runs. Should not have been so close. Way to go guys!!

- ajarvis32 - Apr 5, 2012 at 10:50 PM
Love that the Nats get the W, but this was also a case of the Cubs LOSING a game…Kerry Wood must have a long leash to be allowed to walk three batters in that situation.

Watching the Jays/Indians game. The Indians are one of those teams that don't put their names on there back. It's not like it matters because aside from Astrubal Cabrera, I don't know any of them amyway.
- SFNats - Apr 5, 2012 at 10:55 PM
I'll take the win too, but how about the man behind Zim. Two times he could have put the ball to the right side and driven in runs. But in the fourth AB, he walked in a crucial situation. It's pretty obvious that Dempster stymied LaRoche with the sinker. He looked clueless in his first three ABs. But against Wood, LaRoche looked fine. No reason to write him off just yet.
- Scott from Burke - Apr 5, 2012 at 10:57 PM
I thought ball 4 to Laroche was strike 3…could have gone either way
- Unknown - Apr 5, 2012 at 10:57 PM
Definitely agree that the wind changed that game entirely, Zimmerman might have had two bombs, and Strasburg would have given up a couple to Soriano as well…plus quite a few others. Gotta love it when that works to your favor though.
- realdealnats - Apr 5, 2012 at 11:06 PM
This was today's prediction from back in March:March 24, 2012 8:22 PMOD: Stras puts the screws to the Cubbies and we win 2-1 cobbling together a couple runs. Guesswork is tough so I better take this one while I can…

Yes, ALR left a small village on the bases, but that pick of Desi's throw is a huge part of the win today, too. Give the guy a little slack as he did just miss most of spring training. Adam will prove his worth before it's all over. Espy is the one that is giving me the heebe-jeebies right now.

Prediction for Saturday: Gio pitches as well as Stras, Zim gets one of those bombs to leave Wrigley, Nats win 4-1. Go Nats. Marlins are 0-2 – that sounds good to me.
- natsfan1a - Apr 5, 2012 at 11:29 PM
Love the instant analysis feature, Mark, and congrats on the mega comments game thread! Had fun at Duffy's watching the game (on numerous tv sets) with fellow Insiders and putting faces to names (or to Anons – the place was filled with them – but I digress). Tasty chicken wings and munchies, too.Hope I didn't miss anyone out but we had Grandstander, KWCoach, NatsNut, RPrecup, sec3, sec222, Sunderland, and Unkyd. It nice to see all of them, and there was quite a lively crowd in addition to our cohort. I did miss the Insider I was supposed to work on hyperlinks with – was it sjm or sm13? Sorry but I can't recall at the moment. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, isn't it?

- SpingfieldNatsFan1 - Apr 5, 2012 at 11:51 PM
For what it's worth, Curt Schilling on Baseball Tonight was saying that while SS pitched well today, he still has concerns about his throwing motion leading eventually to future shoulder problems. Don't know if it has validity, but it's something you don't like hearing as a Nats fan….
- Ernie - Apr 6, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Back from the game. Opening Day at Wrigley was a lot of fun. I'm still catching up on the reports and comments, but a couple thoughts.That wind was no joke. I've heard about it on TV, but there was no way anything was leaving that park today. One of the Wrigley regulars near us agreed that one of Zimmerman's shots would have been "off the scoreboard" if he hit the same ball in June.We must have seen 10-15 other groups of Nats fans on the El and at the park. Not a bad showing. We weren't even the only ones in our row in Nats gear. It's nice to see the fan base growing.That said, it was amazing to see so many people decked out in Cubs gear on the way to the park. DC might be getting better at drawing people to Nats park, but they don't represent the same way. It seemed like everyone was in Cubs gear – usually multiple items of clothing, bags, etc. It will be great when we get to the day that we can fill Nats park with something more than half of the crowd with curly W caps. Cubs fans are amazingly friendly. They seem jealous that we're on our way up. Everyone wanted to talk about our rotation. No one understood why LaRoche was hitting cleanup.It looked like Werth misplayed that triple in the 9th really badly. Maybe it made more sense on TV. A lot of sloppy baseball on both sides today, really. But we'll take the win.We spoke to a Nats scout after the game. He was clearly concerned that we need to hit, but mentioned that DeRosa was one of "Davy's guys" and that Johnson would not stop talking about him all winter long. He also was proud of Tracy's addition to the team – as one of Rizzo's guys from Arizona.The crowd at Wrigley was not happy with Sveum's decision to pull Dempster. They love wood, but no one understood why there wasn't more action in the pen. A lot of boos today. And the stands were emptying out before the bottom of the 9th.Then again, it was COLD. Did anyone mention that?

Ernie (Banks?): Never underestimate the power of having a franchise for 100 years! Whenever I go to an away game, I'm always amazed at the history of teams like the Cubs, Phils, Sox and even the Giants. 8 years doesn't cut it, particularly since only a kid in grade school can claim to have loved and followed the Nats his entire life.That really does mean something. Oh, and a few wins will help, too.

NHDOT chief warns of cuts, says gas tax needed
Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Odell, R-Lempster, tried to keep the conversation focused on a proposal by fellow committee member Sen. James Rausch, R-Derry, to increase the state's 18-cent gas tax by 4.2 cents a gallon, but the conversation kept turning to gaming as an alternate revenue source.
Opponents of Rausch's bill, SB 367, warned that it would do serious harm to the state's transportation and forestry industries, with cost being passed along to consumers.
"Those sponsoring the bill say it will only increase the cost $16 per passenger vehicle per year, based on 25 miles per gallon, traveling 10,000 miles per year," said tree farmer Tom Thomson of Orford, honorary chairman of the state chapter of Americans for Prosperity. "What they don't tell you is how this tax will have a devastating impact on the trucking industry."
"The others will just pass the increase onto the consumers," he said. "Stop and think about it. Everything we consume moves by diesel. Raising the tax makes the price of everything, including food, higher due to any increase in the diesel tax."
Under Rausch's proposal, the state's gas tax, which has not been increased since 1991, would increase about 4.2 cents a gallon and produce about $30 million in new revenue for transportation projects. A formula using the Consumer Price Index would be reapplied every four years to adjust the gas tax to align with inflation.
Senate President Chuck Morse, also a committee member, pressed Clement on the growth in his budget in recent years, saying it had gone up 20 percent a year over five years at a rate that simply was "not sustainable."
Efforts to raise the gas tax, or road toll as it is known, failed in 2009 and again in 2013 largely because of Republican opposition.
This year, Rausch's bill has two Senate Republican co-sponsors, Sen. Nancy Stiles of Hampton and Sen. David Boutin of Hookset, along with House Republican John Cebrowski of firstname.lastname@example.com

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Green Golf Balls A blonde golfer goes into the pro shop and looks around frowning. Finally the pro asks her what she wants. "I can't find any green golf balls," the blonde complains. The pro looks all over the shop, and through all the catalogs, and finally calls the manufacturers and determines that sure enough, there are no green golf balls. As the blonde walks out the door in disgust, the pro asks her: "Before you go, could you tell me why you want green golf balls?" "It's obvious, isn't it? They would be so much easier to find in the sand traps!"
Wrong Approach Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says: "You know, I don't know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we've been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!" His buddy looks at him and says: "Well, you're obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, rub my hands on my wife's ass and say, 'How about a blowjob?'... she never even stirs!"
This Piggy Went to the Market A woman was carrying a duck on her way home from the market. A drunk staggered up to her and said: "Hey! where'd you get the pig?" The woman replied: "You drunken fool, that's no pig -- it's a duck!" "Quiet," the drunk said, "I was talking to the duck."
The Punishment Fits the Crime Three men were on a trip to Saudi Arabia. One day, they stumbled into a tent filled with over 100 beautiful women. They started getting friendly with all the women when suddenly the Sheik came in. "I am the master of all these women," the Sheik said. "No one else can touch them except me. You three men must pay for what you have done today. You will be punished in a way corresponding to your profession." The Sheik turned to the first man and asked him what he did for a living. "I'm a cop," the first man said. "Then we will shoot your penis off!" said the Sheik. He then turned to the second man and asked him what he did for a living. "I'm a fireman," said the second man. "Then we will burn your penis off!" said the Sheik. Finally, he asked the last man: "And you, what do you do for a living?" And the third man answered, with a sly grin: "I'm a lollipop salesman!"
Little Johnny Little Johnny was sitting in sex ed class one day when the teacher drew a picture of a penis on the board. "Does anyone know what this is?" she asked. Little Johnny raised his hand and said: "Sure, my daddy has two of them!" "Two of them?" the teacher asked. "Yeah. He has a little one that he uses to pee with and a big one that he uses to brush Mommy's teeth!"
Unusual Purchase Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy: "Son, how old are you?" "Eight," the boy replied. The man continued: "Do you know what these are used for?" The boy replied: "not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike and right now, he can't do either."
Burglarized Blonde A blonde returned home from work and was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She called the police immediately to report the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out onto the porch. The sight of the cop and his dog made her shudder. She put her face in her hands as she sat down on the steps and began moaning. "What's the moaning all about, ma'am?" asked the officer. The blonde replied: "I come home to find all my possessions stolen, so I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a blind policeman!"

text: Elshaunero White 5pts Overall, I really like this photo story. Since I am considering doing something similar with my 88 K5 Blazer, I have questions about details that were left out. What specific fuel pump did you go with, and why did you replace your stock tank? What specific motor mounts did you go with for the LS motor? What does "HRR" stand for? You mention attaching the two heater hoses to the water pump, but what are they attaching to on the other ends?

Anne Cole entered the world of fashion in 1951. Starting at the bottom and working her way up, Anne would eventually achieve worldwide acclaim for her innovative swimsuit designs. Known as the original "California Girl," Anne is one of today's most celebrated swimsuit designers and is still creating Hollywood-classic swimwear that appeals to all generations.
The daughter of actor and swimwear pioneer Fred Cole and his wife, Alice, Anne's childhood was set amidst the sparkle of Hollywood. After studying at UCLA and Holy Names College, Anne started working at Cole of California Factory. By 1960, the company's expansion required a New York office, which Anne established. She became the creative force behind the brand as well as the company's spokesperson. In 1982, Anne launched the Anne Cole Collection. Her swimsuit line is based on the idea that "A swimsuit should reveal, not expose. The woman should wear the swimsuit; the suit should not wear the woman."
In 1951, Anne Cole, a young California woman, was persuaded to join her father Fred Cole's family swimwear business. Starting from the bottom at Cole of California and working her way up, she eventually achieved worldwide acclaim for her innovative swimsuit designs.
After studying at UCLA and Holy Names College, Anne began working in the Cole of California factory, spending her early years in the swimwear industry making sure Hollywood glamour queens, like Elizabeth Taylor, were well suited in their roles. By 1960, the company expanded to New York City with Anne taking the reins in the new office. She quickly became the creative force behind the brand, as well as the company's spokesperson, and in 1982, the company launched the Anne Cole Collection.
With styles appealing to women of all ages and sizes, Anne Cole is still regarded as a leading expert on fashion swimwear. Her introduction of the tankini in 1988 sparked a nationwide trend that continues to rage. With a reputation for outstanding fit and quality, it is easy to see why swimsuit buyers clamor for Anne Cole.

"Working Cattle"
I worked my cattle today 5/13/2014 used my Luer Lock Syringes. I ordered 2 boxes syringes and two 100 boxes of 18 gauge needles. I was very disappointed with needles where it was hard to withdraw medicine that had to be cold. The needles was entirely two long.Now I am stuck with something that does not work that great when your there working in the hot sun . I make sure next time bigger gauge needle and shorter needles.
"Only way to go"
The Luer Lock syringes are the only way to go when giving medications. The locking tip keeps the needle firmly attached even with the rowdiest of animals. The use once and throw away needle and syringe combination is not only affordable, but convenient as well!

My stock battery still isn't that good. I get about 4 minutes from it, and then I have to land within half a minute. Voltage after flight was 3.65V, so really pushing it a little. If I discharge the 120 OEM on my Solo Pro till that same level I can fly 7 minutes... |
Took a look at the rx now. It seems to be absolutelly equal to new Solo Pro rx (only additional wires for the light): Shrink tubes on Solo Pro rx are not original. Even the date is equal (this is my newest Solo Pro rx): Now I have removed the rx from the Bravo SX, I will try to do the mod with the Zippy batteries and change the plugs. Will tell later, how it worked. Walter |
Yes, I already knew the latest Solo Pros and Bravo SX both use RX-01. What I wonder is if older receivers would work as well. I suppose they would fly the Bravo as well, but perhaps the ESCs were upgraded on the RX-01 since the motors are bigger (main motor is bigger too, right?) and does the RX-06 also have a point where the leds could be attached?
Thanks for the nice pictures. If you don't mind, I will use one of them for the FAQ, so it is clear where the wires should go. |
I checked again the batteries. I need a little more than 50% throttle (trim in center) for hovering in the beginning with the original NE battery, but you are right, after very short time I also need about 60%. It is the same with the HK replacement battery, so your thunder power seems to be better. Strange, I scaled the Original and the HK replacement batteries, the HK is a little heavier (4.60 h HK - 4.32 g NE) I wanted better batteries, so I did the mod for the Zippy 240 mAh. I used a replacement landing gear of a Bravo III: I cut the battery mounting (did not work well with a fresh scalpel blade and a new razor blade, but worked well with a good iris scissor - but not good for the iris scissor ). Little bit of filing - then it seemed ok. It should be as strong as the original landing skid, because the battery-mounting part is not fixed on the sides. It is very light (1.25 g) compared to the landing skid of the Bravo SX (1.9 g). Changed the plugs on the rx: The Zippy 240 mAh has 5.28 g It fits perfect between the canopy and landing skid: First I thought, I would have to use rubber rings - but not necessary, the zippy is easily to put in, easily to pull out, and it fits quite well, so no additional fixture is necessary. Heli without Zippy: 28.7 g: The whole heli with Zippy battery has now 34 g (33.96 g) - compared to 33.4 g with stock skid and NE orig. battery (but I took too long wires, could easily cut 3 cm red and 3 cm black, then the weight would probably be the same) But I guess, the results are not worth the effort. Advantage: the Bravo SX is not that tail heavy any more (recognizable most when putting it on the ground - with stock batteriy the heli easily tips on its tail, much better with the zippy). Flying: I flew three Zippys - fully and freshly loaded. One for "seeing how it behaves", two for taking time (only hovering, as described). I need a little more than 50% throttle for hovering. The heli is agil, flies well, do not feel any difference to stock batteries. Time: Zippy 1: 6:50 min Zippy 2: 6:51 min (really nearly exactly the same time). So this is about one min longer than with stock battery (I took 5:53 min) and HK replacement (5:20 min). Disadvantage: You have to change landing skids, if you wanna change battery types for flying, and thats not as easy as it is in the Solo Pro. Only 1 min more of flight time, that is not much for the effort (it is quite difficult to take the Bravo SX apart). Cheers, Walter |
the zippy 240's are not good batteries
avoid them |
Btw, I am surprised to read that your stock NE 150 mAh battery is only 4.32g. Mine is a heavy 4.70g, which makes it heavier than the HK one. Is your stock battery a "NE-BA927"? I agree with Razor here, for a real improved performance under this load, you might consider the Hyperion 240. 1 minutes extra flight time for 90 mAh extra capacity is quite bad... |
No offend, no problem... Quote:
Checked two ones, both original Nine Eagles NE-BA927 - 4.32 and 4.33 g. Either you have a very strange battery, or you use a wrong (cheap) scale. The weights I have measured are correct, without any doubt. Quote:
I will try the Turnigy Nanotec 160 mAh later... Cheers, Walter |
Turnigy Nano-Tech 160 mAh: 4:55 min
The 240 may be a nice battery in less current drawing applications, but the Bravo SX draws twice as much power as the Solo coaxes for instance, and I think that is where the Zippy 240 fails, and gives only a minute of extra time in the air. I think you should try the Thunder Power 160. It is only 4g, and has a high discharge rate, with little voltage sag. After 4 minutes I still needed about 60% throttle for hover, and when the battery was still fresh I only needed 50% throttle. I didn't push this battery too far on it's first flight in the cold outdoor conditions I was flying in. Still these results seem to indicate 6 minutes might be possible. Only drawback of these Thunder Power batteries is that they don't come with NE connector, so you have to mod one on yourself. |
normally you cannot trust cheap scales in matters of /10 g (or g, if its a weight of some kg). But strange, the same in the HK battery? |
guess, the Twingo, too - it is "two coaxes" and has 4 motors |
I tested with the modified Thunder Power 160, and got almost 5 1/2 minutes from it, before the heli started a little spiral to the ground. Tail holding was excellent, I even had to trim full left since the tail was working harder than with the stock or Hobby King 150 battery, indicating voltage was better kept under load. The heli also responded better to throttle punches. Still 5 minutes with just a little time for a controlled landing was a little disappointing. Btw, also found that this modified battery had gained about 0.2g from putting the NE connector on instead of the micro JST it came with from the factory, so it is not 4.0g anymore, but 4.20g. So come on, battery manufacturers, we want a 180 mAh cell weighing just 3.8g or so. That would be better suited for this heli. |
The Thunder Power is something about 8 US$ - I guess, best batteries will be the cheap HK replacements. Quote:
BTW: With 120 mAh HK replacement the heli is a little less tail heavy... of course shorter flight time - but who cares changing batteries if it is as easy as in the Nine Eagles helis. They are so cheap, I guess, everybody can afford 10 or 20... Walter |
this is a thing I do not like in the Nine Eagles batteries at all. Now I have several different types of NE connectors (even the 150 mAh with crest from the planes). I had to modify my first charger, now I have to modify most of the batteries... Old type, new type, HK type (which is too big - but not the fault of Nine Eagles), I still use one "old version landing gear" for one of my Solo Pros. There it is easier to put the batteries in, because it is outside of the canopy (get a better grip). In the Bravo SX this is more problem, because the canopy covers the battery mounting and you cannot clip it that firm with your fingers as it is possible in the Solo Pro. Walter |

I'll mention Chessmaster 11 by Ubisoft again since it's not on the list.
Over 110 PAGES of posts later (whoa...) and we've got an amazing list of possible leads- and an effort that actually did much more than I'd hoped for. I'm a bit busy in my day job and I'm chasing down a few issues with the titles I've got obligations on so the lead list will be started back on shortly. As it stands, we've got one on contract (stalled though...) and one complete game as a result of this thread. It should be noted that the position on the list is the present order I'm envisioning assessing, talking to studios, etc. on the list for myself (Or in the case of the dead titles, the likelyhood for it never happening...).
Place your requests for porting projects and germane discussions on the same here in the current part of the thread. Please try to keep it MOSTLY on topic so we can use the thread for discussion and dickering about the potential projects. Keep 'em coming, guys!
Ground Rules:
The title HAS to be a practical one. The rights holder HAS to be reachable in some manner. The rights holder has to be at least NOT openly hostile towards Linux use (That means Dungeon Siege is right out... ). AAaaand the rights holder has to have the source code in HAND in it's entirety and be willing to allow a port.
I can help with some projects, but not others. I am NOT going into competition with LGP on publishing or running counter to their porting efforts. I am still under contract for some things and there are business dealings and projects that I kind of need to maintain a good relationship with them for now.
Some suggestions will entail money. Unless someone ponies it up or can manage to pass the hat for it (Unless there's a business involved, though, you're going to find that this will be nigh impossible right at the moment...) there can be no ports of that specific game unless you sell the rights holder on the idea of them doing it themselves.
Don't be too hurt if your suggestion is shot down for any problems with above items.
With that... The floor's open.
Here's a list of the current prospects and dead ends as of today (01/24/2010) as I've tabulated them up to this point- there may be new ones lurking in the thread and some stragglers in the thread that precipitated this one that I'm in the process of doing the initial checking on.
I'm listing the dead ends first. Keep in mind that these are all in this list for problems with availability of source code or rights access. Some of these were mentioned as dead ends out of the gate by one of the posters in the thread or, under review, were determined by myself to be non-practical requests. If, for some reason, you've got a lead on changing the status on the dead ends, speak up in the thread or PM me (As an example, I offer each and every one of Interplay's back catalog, including things such as Kingpin, Freespace2, etc. as we had someone point us in the direction of Good Old Games, who has current publication rights to Interplay's stuff and have indicated that they're not against the idea, but are understaffed to accomplish the work...)... I'll be putting up more edits to this post as I tabulate all the requests. We've got a nifty list and I need to follow up on some of the realistic ones. Keep the realistic suggestions coming, gang.
Dead Ends:
Anything from Microsoft Game Studios (There's a DUH moment...)
Anything from Atari/Infogrames (They've shown us consistent disdain for a while now...if I see contrary evidence...)
No One Lives Forever (Lithtech - No Lithtech engine games are practical right at the moment...)
Psychonauts (After finding out what Majesco did to at least one studio, we don't want to deal with them...ever...sorry...)
Wing Commander (EA property...code's likely to not be available at this point with Origin effectively defunct...)

Morrowind (Ditto...)
Portal (Any of the Valve stuff's up in the air- someone may well be doing all of Orange Box and Steam...)
Diablo II
StarCraft II
Diablo III (Gimme a break, guys... This isn't a pie in the sky list...)
KotOR 2 (Not that anyone would WANT that title... )
Any of the GTA titles.
America's Army (We HAD a version of this guys, but the DoD decided it was not a big enough payoff...)
System Shock (Studio defunct- no clear title to code known, nor do we know if it's available at all...)
System Shock II (Ditto...)

Syndicate I

Syndicate Wars
Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth

SimCity (Already GPLed and out under the name "Micropolis" in all of it's ancient glory...)
Neverwinter Nights 2 (Atari published property- need I say more?)
Jedi Knights II
Jedi Academy

Aquaria (Ryan's ported it..)
And Yet It Moves (They're doing it themselves...if they run into a snag, I'll offer help, but...)

Anything that was ported by the former Loki Games (It's been tried by LGP in the past when they were starting...)
Soldier of Fortune II
Gothic 3
IL-2 Sturmovik
Project Offset
Grand Prix Legends
Sam and Max Episodes
Deus EX (Hinges on finding someone with the old Loki codebase that'll be able to grant publication rights)
Deus EX 2
Age of Wonders
FlatOut 2
Rome: Total War
Tale Worlds (Some DRM concerns there...)
GTR2 (10tacle in recievership- need to find out who is studio, etc...)
Crysis (Initial contact made...we'll see...)
Falcon 4 (Initial contact made...no word back from them...)
(Moved to the "maybe" list because there's no clear title to what we have in hand...checking into it, but
for right now, don't hold your breath...)
Witchaven I
Witchaven II
Witcher (Since Namco's now the publisher for anything CDProjekt does, it's a longshot maybe...)
Merchants of Brooklyn (It's a Crytek 2 engine game...makes it a "maybe" at best...)
Any of the Need for Speed titles.

Secret Files: Tunguska and Puritas Cordis

Sensible Soccer 2006
Being Looked Into:
The entire Myth series from Bungee

I'll mention The Maw again, just in case you missed it from the other thread.
I won't mention "Beyond Good and Evil" by Ubisoft.
Which is now on gog
But I will definitely mention(again) "The Longest Journey" and "Dreamfall: The Longest Journey"
There was a thread stating that there are no plans for linux support, gladly it is so old that everyone should just ignore it.
But even now and then there might be enough need and willingness to make linux port happen.
Kivi's Underworld is a 3D hack 'n' slash RPG with both a windows and a Mac client. Might be worth looking into.
Maybe worth to look into: http://www.book-of-unwritten-tales.com/
The German version is already out and got good reviews (85%+) The game states to use the Ogre engine.
Actually, it was an amount of return on effort (Stated reason they were discontinuing paying for the support...)- which means that they didn't feel it was returning the results that they were paying for. If they felt that it was worth the money, they would have continued it since it's an Ad for the US Army to begin with.
Having said this, they're contemplating renewing the support deal for us, from what I understand- but it's a closed subject as it's the DoD that makes that decision, no matter how you want to view the statement I made there. And they made that decision a long while back.

In 1950s Japan, the creams and lotions available for women to use on their complexions were thick, greasy and apt to clog the pores. After one woman had enough of using skin care products laden with petroleum, she approached her pharmacist and asked him if he could mix her an alternative. Inspired by the woman's request, Yoshikiyo Nowatari went to work creating his own skin care formula based on glycerin rather than petroleum. The lightweight texture and effectiveness of the formula quickly made his product, Yu-Be skin cream, the best-selling facial cream in Japan.

the perfect moisturizer - 1/23/2012 2:54:20 PM YuBe applies easily and is quickly absorbed. Skin is left soft and supple. No unpleasant odors. My favorite skin moisturizer.Use for a Moisture Boost - 1/21/2012 3:35:46 PM I use this one a week for a power boost before going to bed. I usually use Cetaphil cream but once a week this is a treat for very dry skin. Has a strong smell but really works.THE BEST CREAM EVER - 10/19/2011 8:05:25 AM This is hands down the BEST cream on the market. I live in the desert southwest & this cream is a must - it is very healing & moisturizing! My hands & feet are extremely dry & crack & bleed. This is the ONLY cream that keeps them moisturized! I cannot recommend this cream enough!!love all YuBes - 10/14/2011 9:59:14 AM All the products in this line are great. the cream save fingers from cracking in winter. Only one that works.Not as good as the skin cream - 8/20/2011 8:07:55 PM I bought this because I thought it would be better for all over body, hands and feet, but it doesn't work as well as the skin cream in a jar. I still use that for feet and face. This is good for dry hands. Absorbs quickly and I like the menthol fragrance.Great Product - 8/3/2011 12:04:21 PM This is my second tube - a little goes a long way. It does the job of exfoliating and cleansing my whole body and you could use it every day if you want.Very moisturizing but leaves sticky residue - 7/11/2011 8:17:30 AM This is a great moisturizer for face, but it's way too sticky to use before putting on make-up. I use it at night on my face, and it has cured the cracked heels on my feet. I also use it on my hands, which can get really dry on the summer. Excellent value.LOVE THIS PRODUCT! SO GLAD I FOUND IT - 4/16/2011 8:06:50 PM I bought this for my daughter who was 5 at the time; she has always had really bad dry hands in the winter. The point where they were red, painful and almost raw. I used Aquaphor which worked, however it was always greasy and made everything she touched that way. I couldnt use anything else since it would make her cry from the pain of the lotion once applied. Then I found YuBe moisturizing skin cream. I was reluctant at first, since it cost so much, but based on some reviews I wanted to give it a try. I cannot tell you how much this product worked. Absolutely love it. Within a day or so my daughters hands were back to normal. I would just apply it on her at night and thats it. I used it nightly for the entire last season and her little hands were perfect. No more crying from pain. Coming from a mother the cost is quite a bit, but based on the results I dont care. Its well worth it. There is a menthol smell at first but it goes away quickly. I actually like the smell so it doesnt bother me. I now have the cream, chap stick and lotion. Love all 3. The lotion is just a little bit thinner but works great. I only use the cream on her hands and the chap stick as well. My son also uses both now; and his lips are no longer red and chapped as they used to be, and of course his hands are not dry any longer either. I also use the cream on my hands and the heals of my feet. That as well works and makes them look great. All in all the product does wonders. I normally dont write that many reviews, but this time I had to. The product line is great! And I will be a long time customer. Thank you, YuBe for curing my daughters hands and not making her cry.Good Product - 3/9/2011 9:21:22 AM After all the reviews I read, I decided to test the chapstick. Its great in the winter time and really helps my kids chapped lips. Seems to work faster than others.YU-BE Moisturising Cream - 1/17/2011 1:05:10 AM I buy this cream for my 8 year old that suffers from ezcema/atopic dermatitis. This cream is no longer available in Australia, therefore I have searched the WEB and found skinstore. This cream is the only one (and I have tried them all) that helps my daughters skin stay moisturised. Its so worth it, and cost effective too. -

I'm assuming the goblins, because the Gollum scene was the best scene in the movie IMO.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The goblin scene was CGI/mo-cap heavy and some things in that were not very realistic. One thing that made LOTR special was that there were tons of people dressed up in orc/uruk-hai costumes rather than CGI heavy orcs.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

Django Unchained - It's superbly entertaining, very funny, great to look at, and everyone is quite good, especially Waltz and Leo. By the end though, it had become nearly too much Tarantino. He's in every obscenity, blood splatter, and music drop of the movie. It's difficult not to enjoy and be entertained by DU, but when Quentin loves what's happening in the movie (meaning the whole movie), you know it. Strongly recommended.
Yeah, the laws of physics get abused in the goblin cave.
... LOL that almost reads like some kind of Internet meme, doesn't it?

Watched 2 animated Superman movies
Superman vs the Elite - Beyond awful. The animation was terrible and should have been warning enough.
Superman All-Star (something like that) - Superman gets cancer and dies. The movie throws in some cameos that aren't needed at all. Better than the Elite, but man, can someone make a Superman movie that isn't garbage? Ugh!
Superman & Shazam vs the return of the Black Adom was pretty entertaining that I saw awhile back though.

With the #3 pick in the 2015 draft, your Indiana Pacers!
The Hobbit - it was ok. Felt just like another LOTR movies, but not nearly as good. It was harmless entertainment, but nothing more. Felt like not much was getting accomplished. Well made movie, and I suppose that is what made it entertaining. No desire to see the next one though
Neverending Story - still a fantastic movie
Casa de mi padre - got some laughs out of this. probably a movie you enjoy once, but won't have a desire to really see it again.
With the #3 pick in the 2015 draft, your Indiana Pacers!
Currently watching the Batman 1949 series. Just think Batman in Mayberry.
Went on movie marathon today.
Kill Bill Vol. 2
DJango - I actually really liked this movie. Very funny but in a crude sort of way. The actors were all excellent, and a cameo made me happy. (That scene was hilarious.) There were definitely parts of that movie where I covered my eyes because it was a little graphic.
Les Mis - I thought I'd like this more than Django, but I didn't. It's a great story, and Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman were outstanding (especially Anne), and Helena Bonham Carter and Borat were perfect for their parts. But a few of the singing voices irritated me. I also think this movie would have been better with dialogue. That said, I'm hoping Anne gets a well deserved award for this. She was really fantastic in it.
I haven't seen it yet, but this explains pretty well why I've felt so reluctant to see it. It just looks a little too self-important to stomach, and the very final scene of Schindler's List just really pissed me off in how pompous and self-important it felt, and I am deeply suspicious of any "grand projects" by Spielberg after that. I'm hoping to like it since I enjoy DDL, but I have a feeling it will be Spielberg all over the place. And I'm a total sucker for Lincoln so I hope I can just sit back and enjoy this like a fanboy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It think it'd be correct to say that the marketing push behind the movie was very much of a pre-ordained greatness kind of thing. "You already know that this movie is legendary, it is inevitable, and you may as well accept it already." I feel that way about many movies with Oscar Bait promotions though.
Saw The Hobbit. Really liked it. I found this Bilbo to be more enjoyable a character than any of the LOTR movie characters. I could really feel his reluctance to leave the comfort of the shire. It felt real. I loved the "I do think often of Bag-End" after the goblin caves. Even in the LOTR books I always thought the "oh these silly hobbits long only for the simple comforts of home and would NEVER go on adventures!" thing was pretty contrived, a false attempt at eliciting emotion, but here it felt pretty real. Loved this Bilbo. I liked that the movie was lighter in tone at times. I haven't read or watched LOTR in quite some time, but I don't remember them as very light. Oh, and I love depictions of dragons where they really make you feel the immense sense of disaster that a dragon invasion would bring. Dragons, they are the best.
Saw Pitch Perfect. Man, I really liked this movie. Maybe that's goofy of me. Anna Kendrick is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. Her big old teeth are adorable, and I think she's pretty talented. She was great in 50/50 as well. I need to see Up In The Air sometime.
Saw The Dark Knight Rises again. Fun and great and all, but a second viewing just points out to me how much it pales in comparison to TDK. TDK is easily one of my favorite movies ever, and I nearly pee myself in joy just watching youtube clips of Ledger as the Joker. Whereas with this movie I found myself mentally groaning at the writing several times, I never really cared about Bane like I did the Joker, and the role of Catwoman--while played well--just didn't seem to have much of a point in the movie. And no Alfred! I know TDK had flaws, but I connect to that movie for so many sentimental reasons. Really I just wish Ledger hadn't died. "I think you and I are destined to do this forever." I would have watched them do it forever.
Saw Ted. Forgettable. I expected more out of a McFarlane thing.
Saw The Words. WTF was this? Dennis Quaid, man, I just don't even know.
Saw Ides of March again. I would watch as PSH watched somebody else who was watching paint dry. I don't even care about the rest of the movie anymore, I instantly love it if PSH is in it. *****.

The movie was what I consider an emotion based movie. And generally I think those movies either you feel it or you don't. You didn't I did. In fact I probably enjoyed it even more the second time. I too was a little surprised that the whole movie was focused on passing the 13th amendment, but now that I have seen it twice I agree with that decision, better to devote proper time to do a topic well than to rush through.
Overall I love the movie and found it very emotional. I think I like Argo a little better, but clearly Lincoln and Argo were the two best movies I've seen this year and now that I think about it, last year too

Searching for Sugar Man - Not sure I've seen a more recommendable movie this year. It doesn't delve deeply into a fascinating subculture or reveal amazing truths about humanity, but it's pretty much impossible to watch this movie and not walk away beaming and ecstatic about being alive. Just a wonderfully touching, life-affirming story that you would have to be really pissed off not to enjoy. Like watching the Elmo documentary but for a whole country. Recommended like a mother****er.
I am a huge fan of Lincoln (the person). I have read multiple biographies and have studied the Civil War era quite a bit. So naturally, I had sky high expectations for this film. I, too, left a little underwhelmed. Day-Lewis, as usual, mastered his role as Abraham Lincoln. Everything I have ever read about him, including the voice, his humor, the stories--Day-Lewis nailed it. The movie was a little slow and I thought there was a number of ways they could have gone with it. It was still a good film, but I think it could have been much better.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Captain America- Love this film. I believe it to be my favorite of the Marvel films.
Going to have my usual movie marathon on my day off, looking like
1. Zombieland
2. The Boondock Saints
3. Kill Bill Vol.1
This weekend I have seen both the Hobbit (MEH) and Lincoln (silent jawdrop). It's been a long while since I read the book but IIRC the movie didn't follow the book The Hobbit very closely. It seemed as though they were more interested in visuals for 3D than in actually making a story. I was underwhelmed.
Lincoln.....we went to the 96th street theater which was about 1/2 full. This is no ****....at the end NOT ONE person made a sound. It was stone dead silent for at least a minute. My wife and I both commented that we wanted to applaud but couldn't break the silence. When people did finally get up to leave it was the quietest most orderly exit I have ever seen (we left last as we had my handicapped morther-in-law with us.). I look forward to seeing this again soon but there are some others I want to see first.
If you get to thinkin youre a person of some influence, try orderin somebody elses dog around..
My favorite pixar movie. My wife's family hadn't seen it, so we all watched it together. What a beautiful movie.
With the #3 pick in the 2015 draft, your Indiana Pacers!
Les Mis. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It grabbed me from the very first scene and I never lost interest at all. Normally I don't like musicals, but I thought this movie was great.
Was it perfect? Of course not, no movie is. But I don't judge movies on whether it is perfect or close to perfect. (IMO the criticism this movie is receiving is unwarranted)
And no Russell Crowe cannot sing, but after the first few times he sings you get used to it.

Select an iPad Air
iPad Air at a glance.
Thin. Solid.
iPad Air is just 7.5 millimetres thin and weighs less than half a kilo. Even though it's extremely light, it has a refined aluminium unibody enclosure that feels solid and durable in your hand.
9.7-inch Retina display
Photos and videos look incredibly detailed and text is razor sharp on the stunning Retina display, which features over 3.1 million pixels — a million more than an HDTV.
A7 chip
The powerful and power-efficient A7 chip with 64-bit architecture makes everything remarkably responsive — while still delivering up to 10 hours of battery life.2
Ultra-fast wireless
Get fast Wi-Fi performance using 802.11n with MIMO.3 And the Wi-Fi + Cellular model supports more LTE bands for fast connections the world over.1
Powerful apps included
iPad comes with great apps for sending email, browsing the web and making video calls. It also includes apps that let you do amazing things with your photos, movies, music, documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
Over 500,000 apps on the
App Store
The App Store has incredible apps designed specifically for iPad. These aren't just scaled-up phone apps. They take full advantage of iPad technologies like the gyroscope, accelerometer and every pixel in the Retina display. So there's almost no limit to what iPad — or you — can do.4
What's in the box
- iPad Air
- Lightning to USB Cable
- USB Power Adapter
iOS 8
iOS 8 is our most advanced mobile OS ever. You'll get new features like Continuity, iCloud Drive and Family Sharing. And because it's designed for iPad, everything not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully.
Choose the iPad that's right for you.
What's the difference in storage sizes?
iPad Air comes in two storage sizes: 16GB and 32GB.5 The term "GB" stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPad — apps, HD videos, films, photos, books, magazines and more. If, for example, you have a large music library or you frequently download HD films, it's a good idea to consider an iPad with a larger storage capacity. If you have a relatively small music or photo library, or rarely make or buy films, an iPad with a smaller capacity may be better for you. Of course, over time you will add more things to your iPad, so you'll want to think about how your storage needs may evolve.
Wi–Fi or Wi–Fi + Cellular?
Wi-Fi model: Uses high-speed Wi-Fi networking to connect to the Internet. It's ideal if you have a wireless Internet router in your home or if you'll be using your iPad Air near a wireless hotspot in a coffee shop or school library, for example. There are Wi-Fi hotspots nearly everywhere around the world — iPad with Wi-Fi finds them automatically.
Wi-Fi + Cellular model: iPad can also connect to the Internet using a fast mobile network connection when Wi-Fi isn't available. So you can stay connected on the train, at the park or on a road trip. You can buy a Wi-Fi + Cellular model without a contract, and service is sold separately. See your carrier for tariff information.
About Data Plans for iPad
To start mobile data service, you will need a nano-SIM card and a data plan. A number of no-commitment data plans are available that don't require a long-term contract. You can start data service anytime after installing the nano-SIM card. Some plans can even be started from your iPad.

The Whole Truth
... everything you always wanted to know about Jews
An exhibition of the Jewish Museum Berlin in cooperation with the Jewish Museum Hohenems
A Rabbi is asked why Jews always answer a question with another question. "Why not?" he replies. The response throws the question back to the asker, provoking him or her to rethink the matter independently. At the same time, refusing to answer the question expresses the belief that there are no right or wrong answers, but a large number of valid responses.
With the exhibition "The Whole Truth," the Jewish Museum Berlin confronts various questions about Judaism and being Jewish: the FAQs, the difficult questions, the funny questions, the clever questions, and the questions that really have no answer.
Some of them make the questioner uneasy, some are politically incorrect, while others betray something about the person who asks them.
How does someone become a Jew? What am I, if my mother is Christian and
my father is Jewish? What is the Jewish take on Jesus and Mohammed? Are
the Jews a Chosen People?
With an even-handed and witty touch, we present questions through
extraordinary objects and installations taken from religious practice, everyday life and
contemporary art.
"How do you recognize a Jew?"
"Ask the Rabbi"
"Jews in a showcase"
22 March 2013 - 1 September 2013
Old Building, first level
with the museum ticket (7 euros, reduced rate 3,50 euros)
Throughout the exhibition, literary and documentary voices speak about Jewish identity today. Visitors will not receive simple or 'right' answers, but will hear a multitude of opinions varying according to the speakers. The exhibition presents 180 objects which offer insight into Jewish thinking and inner-Jewish questions of identity, in particular those that develop in a non-Jewish environment.
"The Whole Truth" picks up on controversial social debates, asks counter questions and sensitizes the viewers to stereotypical images and patterns of thought. And, every once in a while, a question will be answered. For instance, on our blog Blogerim, or here:
Events Accompanying the Exhibition
Accompanying the exhibition, the museum offers a film series on the theme, an evening with three rabbis answering questions, as well as guided tours through the exhibition and a workshop for students and young adults.

Still wish it was possible to get a good preview of their actual tech rather than just their graphics. Couldn't care less how pretty some custom-tailored demos are. Only care about how easy it is to take their engine and build something with it ourselves. What are their API's like? What is their editor like? What is their scripting language? What kind of distribution/bundling features are included? Networking engine features? etc. Their site is pretty awful compared to something like Unity3D's, and they don't have a nice preview version of their toolkit for evaluation.
Soon as anyone can actually investigate Unigine itself rather than just their demos, then and only then will Unigine become interesting. They have like 3 games using it and almost no mindshare because their marketing tactics are based on id's, which are themselves based on "we're id" and not any kind of sane practice that applies to a company without such a legendary history.

Phoronix: Announcing The Lima Open-Source GPU Driver

lima is also an anagram of mali, i'm not sure if the devs or anyone else noticed that.
Bugzilla really isn't the place for a pissing contest
So is this project crap? Otherwise why can't the guys at fdo be professionals and accept this project?
Is the kernel piece going to be open source too, or are they trying to implement the _entire_ driver in userspace (except for using already-existing mainline Linux kernel components)?
Where it doesn't matter if the code is good or not if you can't get along with the project.
Wow. _my_ friction...
I really wonder how many project creation requests start off with Daniel asking whether a mailing list is really needed. Why else would one request a project unless to get a) git repositories b) a mailing list c) bugzilla. Asking whether a mailing list is really needed but not asking whether creating a separate project is really needed then seems quite off.
Daniel has a long history of attacking radeonhd from the X.org/Fd.o side (there was this mailing list thing, there was him silently dropping radeonhd from the build script, and then it was of course his fd.o admin access that was used to hack/vandalize the long unused radeonhd repository), while not contributing much in code/software to the radeonhd versus radeon feud.
I was hoping that after RadeonHD's rather disgusting climax, things would've changed at fd.o, that the same games would not be repeated. I could not have been more wrong, and i was very stupid to even try filing for a project at fd.o.
If I understand correctly, Daniel's question was not whether a mailing list is needed, but whether a separate mailing list specifically for that driver is needed.
In the last year, daniels has not asked this question for any other project request. He has asked questions when some guys from Nokia's Meego (he used to work for that for a long time, but not until the point where Elop killed it) came and asked for a project, this until those guys gave up and went somewhere else. One project request from collabora was immediately created. Besides that, he created a few projects, without asking any noteworthy questions, in the usual timeframe. He even got briefly involved with the openchrome project request (i too was involved there, suggesting to james simmons to get a user account and use some user trees for his VIA playgrounds). In the end, openchrome, a project with little development and even less users (yes, i know, my unichrome work has even less users - i do not need to be told that), got both openchrome-devel and openchrome-users, and in the last 2 months, those mailing lists weren't used at all. In the last year, nobody was asked, not by daniels, not by anyone else, whether a mailing list really was necessary.
One would also think that a guy like me, with all the experience i have in dealing with driver projects, would know whether or not a mailinglist is needed, and would definitely not ask for one (and only one!) lightly. I have quite a few playgrounds on people.fd.o for which i wouldn't even think of getting more infrastructure. Nobody else with fd.o admin access would have asked whether a mailing list really was necessary.
That's one side of it. The other side is clearly documented in that bug. When we asked in 2007, and Egbert Eich asked the first question (he was one of the founding members of the current X.org and spent ages creating bylaws and did one of the first X.org releases after xfree86), we first got such a question back. When we then insisted, and stated that this mailinglist would see a lot of traffic quickly, he said "no, use xorg@". This was only the start of a very very nasty sequence of events.
If anyone else had asked that, my answer would have been very different indeed. But nobody else did ask that. Nor would they have dreamt of doing so.
Can you tell me a widely used device using that gpu? I never heard of it before...

Sadly, this only enforces my idea that releases and upping major version numbers is all about publicity and competition. Otherwise you'd find it pretty peculiar that a relatively short while after mplayer2 is forked/released, vlc follows suite. Not that vlc is an inherently bad thing.
That's why I like chromium's release numbering. They seem pretty arbitrary and you never notice any real big change (well, especially on the alpha channel), but the browser slowly improves all the time. Not that chromium is an inherently good thing, of course.
