Very difficult and messy to use and clean. Had to cut the special end off the tubing to clean it thoroughly thus making the tubing shorter. For this price you should have gotten more tubing and an extra can of frame coating.
Eastwood has a way of selling these simple things that - while they are helpful to the restorer - they are usually poorly engineered and always overpriced. This system is no exception.
Eastwood needs to work at giving their customers more value in these tough economic times. -

Review by dcairns -

Pros- Makes a fairly easy job of getting the rust encapsulator in those hard to reach areas.
Cons- (minor quibbles, really)
-I had some trouble with the brass fitting that pushes into the can's nozzle. By holding the clear hose just behind the brass fitting, you can prevent it from pushing into the hose, rather than into the spray can nozzle. Sounds like that has been fixed.
-I wish it came in black so I would not have to go back and spray the areas visible from the holes in the frame. I suppose I could just repeat the treatment with black paint, but one step would be nice for such a messy project (this is frame on the car, so I am on my back spraying the frame above me).
As you pull or push the spray nozzle inside the frame, it helps to use a jerking/jiggling motion to help the nozzle flop around, which spreads the spray around.

This is a fantastic product and saves me so much time, and it really covers well and probably does a much better job than the way I was doing it as far as coverage is concerned. Thanks EASTWOOD!!

A Little About Myself | Paraplegic |
Pros | Sturdy |
Cons | This vertical lift does not work without power. It's very unsafe and a bit dangerous. |
There is no way to use it, if the power goes out. | |
4 Medical Supplies replies:
Thank you for your review. As mentioned, the manual crank backup requires a 2nd person to operate. If one-person operation during power outages is a priority, the Hercules can be ordered with a "DC Powered" upgrade and batteries. These options allow for operation during power outages.

A Little About Myself | Do-it-Yourselfer |
Pros |
Nice, sturdy wheelchair lift that works as designed. My son definitely feels safe in it. |
Cons | Assembly instructions are very bad. They are not clear at all and I had to perform trial-and-error to finally get it together. It makes an electrical buzzing noise, that is very annoying. There are some minor damages that are not the result of delivery, but manufacturing. |
Service & Delivery | Order and Delivery was fine, I had no problems. I did though, have to try a few times to get a response to questions, after delivery. |
Pretty easy to assemble once we could figure out the directions. Got to get better directions. Once installed, we loved the lift, it works great. | |

Bleeding Knees Club Photo Tour Diary Pt. 3
Halloween, Venice Beach, ying and yang patches.
Bleeding Kneew Club's US tour continued this week with some down time in LA over Halloween, in which they dressed up in apparently sexy costumes. The boys hung out in Venice and Santa Monica, soaking up the sunshine and also took the time to hang out with all the local crazies. Check out part three of their photo tour diary below.
If you missed the first installment (feat. large slices of pizza and a gas mask bong) check it here, and for last week's Day Trotter and CMJ photos have a look here.

The Antelope wrestling team sent seven grapplers out to the mat at the unexpectedly one-day Sid Grande Tournament in Wellton on Friday.
Six of them made it to the individual finals and four of them took first.
Chad Cullison (126 pounds), Casey Pearson (132), Jason St. Clair (138) and Fred Pearson (160) each went 5-0 for the Rams, who went 2-1 in the team portion in the meet – which also featured Yuma Catholic, San Pasqual and Santa Cruz. Luis Saboria (170) and Jacob Peters (220) each finished second for the Rams.
"We wrestled really well, the moves were clicking," Antelope coach Rich St. Clair said. "They cranked it up a notch today."
Jason St. Clair and Fred Pearson were each named one of the outstanding wrestlers from the meet and the Shamrocks won the team portion of the event, sweeping matches against Santa Cruz (60-24), San Pasqual (78-6) and Antelope (54-27).
The Shamrocks had seven individual champions – Zach Lopez (120), Clay Sierra (145), Moisis Barcenas (152), Grady Eldridge (170), Ryan Waters (182), Jose Valencia (220) and Alex Varela (285).
Only four teams showed up to the event, which was slated to run over two days.
Yuma High perfect in five matches
The Yuma High wrestling team went 5 for 5 in team matches Friday at a tournament in Flagstaff.
The Criminals will face Flagstaff today in the team championship, plus they will have at least six wrestlers in the individual tournament, which features the top eight wrestlers in each weight class.
Kodi Doerr (106) and Cade Kottenbrook (138) went perfect for the Criminals. Leo Salcedo (113), Jose Gonzalez (120), Trent Haile (132) and Carlos Vargas (145) went 4-1.
The Criminals beat Coconino 43-33, Coolidge 61-15, Pinon 60-18, Glendale 33-30 and Bradshaw Mountain 57-21.
"Coconino is a real good team," Yuma High coach Jeff Welsing said. "They have a defending state runner-up at 113, and (Salcedo) beat him. And then we had that nail-biter against Glendale, and we won the matches we needed to win. And the ones we didn't we stayed off our backs to help save those team points."
Cibola dominates first day at Deer Valley
The Cibola wrestling team had nine undefeated wrestlers and the team went 3-0 at the Skyhawk Invitational on Friday.
The Raiders beat Dysart (59-12), Barry Goldwater (56-9) and Apollo (62-6).
Perfect wrestlers for Cibola were Josh Olsen (113), Alex Juarez (120), Andres Gandara (126), Isaac Camarillo (132), Luis Nunez (140), Mark Cruz (145), Miguel Lugo (152), Pierre Gaud (160) and Vincente Guerrero (170).
YC defense shines again
The Yuma Catholic boys basketball team had another pair of strong showings at the Williams Tournament Friday.
With a 60-20 win over Seligman and a 67-35 win over Williams, the Shamrocks earned a spot in the tournament championship tonight.
Carter Rodriguez and Matt Pistone led the way in both games. Rodriguez followed his 17-point, five-assist effort against Seligman with a 12-point showing against Williams. Pistone scored nine against Williams after 16 points and eight rebounds in the first game.
Yuma High into loser bracket finals
The Yuma High boys basketball team won its game Friday after a Thursday loss, setting itself up for a possible fifth-place finish at the Coca-Cola Classic in Chinle.
The Criminals beat Rock Pointe 72-70 in overtime in the semifinal on a late layup from Alex Juarez.
Andre Phillips had a steal on the defensive end after the layup to seal the win.
Cedric Rash scored 19 to lead the Criminals while Rash added 11.
Gila Ridge comes from behind
Despite trailing at halftime, the Gila Ridge boys basketball team used a huge second half and a hot-shooting night to win 65-48 at Mohave on Friday.
Marcus Weeks had a team-high 17 points to go with six assists for the Hawks and Christian Espinoza finished with 14 points. The Hawks made 10 3-pointers on the night, with Espinoza and Kevin McCullough each with three apiece.
The Hawks (3-0) host Cibola on Tuesday.
Shamrocks fall at Williams, San Pasqual wins two
The Yuma Catholic girls basketball team had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer but missed in a 51-49 loss to Seligman Friday at the Williams Tournament.
The team rebounded with a 38-28 win over the host team but did not qualify for the championship. The Shamrocks were slated to play San Pasqual in the third-place game, but switched games and will face Northland Preparatory Academy today.
San Pasqual moved into second in their pool with wins over Northland Prep (35-27) and Ash Fork (24-17).
Madison Brazeel led the Shamrocks with 27 points against Seligman, but sat out the second game with a leg injury, said coach Bob McGalliard.
Mary Terkelsen led the Shamrocks with 14 against Williams.
McGalliard said the team led big early in the loss but struggled with fouls.
"We were in deep foul trouble the whole game," McGalliard said. "But I tell you what, that team will win the championship."
For the Warriors, Ceara Ingraham and Tatiana Damon combined for three double doubles in the two games. Damon had 11 points, 10 rebounds and five steals against NPA and 14 points and 16 rebounds against Ash Fork. Ingraham and 18 points and 15 boards against NPA and six points and 114 rebounds against Ash Fork.
Yuma High holds off Yuma Catholic
Brian Aguliar connected on what proved to be the game winner in the second half as Yuma High beat Yuma Catholic 4-3 on Friday.
Criminal coach Evan Chamberlain said there were 20 cards in the game – including two red cards, one for each team. Yuma Catholic coach Ralph Evans said his count had 11 yellow cards total — eight for Yuma High.
"After the game the refs made it a point to tell us how polite our kids were," Chamberlain said. "They pointed out how remarkable it was."
All three YC goals were the results of penalties – two penalty kicks and one free kick. Jorge Ruiz scored on both YC PKs.
"I proud of my boys," Evans said. "They played a good, well executed game."
On Thursday, Yuma High routed Lake Havasu 11-1 behind six goals from Abraham Topete.

Look pretty nice, good job!
@Fishman92 - I only saw the mistake after i posted the screenshot, but thanks.
Here is the M4A1 inside Unity
I changed the overall brightness of the weapon, added normal maps and a metalic effect.
Nice you should make a secular map.

first poligons now secular maps haha. Great looking gun there. I do have one crit-- the wear on the charging handle should be grey and the middle black not vice versa. This is because the M4 is painted black to start with and when paint wears off it becomes grey/metalic. Should be pretty easy to change though.
New Laser Pointer!
We also added a new effect when another player points the laser at the player's face.
New FlashLight!
It also affects the player's view when someone is pointing the flashlight at his face.
You can expect the new Update by Tomorrow!
Really like the way the character sways around when looking from one side to the other, but as someone who's spent a lot of time with Berettas and Beretta 92 replicas I suggest you acquire one, or acquire a replica to remodel that pistol. The hammer's joint should be within the frame, and your model has the backside of the frame completely covered up. The AR-15 looks pretty cool .

This is my first post here in Unity community, and I'm amazed for the brilliant projects that people are creating with unity, which makes me more motivated to learn this brilliant tool. Regarding this project just have to say awesome job guys! This game is looking very good! And it's nice to know that we have some dedicated and talented developers in Portugal
I just hope i can make a project like that in the future (probably I'm going to bother you guys with tons of questions :P) A big Kudos to Unity Community and keep us updated with this promising FPS Cheers!
That old weapon sway was way overkill IMO. I can say that I have shot my fair share of guns, walking and standing still and that old sway was way more than it should have been.

The answer may have been right, but the term "2yo" in the subject line is wrong.
Not sure I understand your postulation (is that really a word?) Mary.
Say I was born on April 1 - which I was, did I just turn 27 on Monday or did I turn 27 on January 1?

Welcome to the Campaign for Wool
The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by its patron, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, in order to raise awareness amongst consumers about the unique, natural and sustainable benefits offered by wool.Encouraging collaboration between an international community of woolgrowers, major fashion designers, retailers, manufacturers, artisans and interior designers, the Campaign has been instrumental in educating consumers about the versatility of wool, and reconnecting them with its myriad uses – From luxurious fine merino knitwear to fire-retardant insulation for the home.
Since its launch in 2010, The Campaign for Wool has influenced a new demand for wool on an international scale, and its efforts have seen an outstanding threefold increase in the price farmers receive for their wool. Every year The Campaign for Wool stages Wool Week, a week long festival of events and workshops celebrating wool in all its guises. Take a look at our global calendar to see where Wool Week travels to next.
One Wool – Part 5
In Part 5 of our OneWool nominations we have Abaca, Abbotsford, Cushlab, Freya and Harlequin. ABACA We are wild about sleep and wild about using wool at Abaca, the West Wales organic mattress business. An amazing 16 fleeces go into each mattress.

In the business of building Star Trek-inspired home theaters? Aparently, you will live long and prosper. There definitely seems to be a demand out there, considering the number of home theater rooms we've seen dedicated to the sci-fi classic (here, here and here, in case you missed them). Now, a new one just entered our galaxy.
Electronic Systems Consultants is the company that made it so. The Colorado-based design company has this little beauty featured on its website. The room includes seating for nine, motorized sliding doors, smart concert-type lighting and related AMX controls, HVAC, audio, video and more.
According to ESC, the room's "information panels" also conceal a hearty collection of DVDs.
If you want a closer peek at this theater, you can "engage" the slideshow at the ESC website. [via Geek Tyrant]

TEMPE, Ariz. – Right fielder Julio Morban went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI to lead the Seattle Mariners to an 8-5 Cactus League victory over the Los Angeles Angels Friday afternoon in front of a sold-out crowd of 9,662 at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
The Mariners improved their spring record to 13-7 with the victory, and capped the spring series vs. the Angels going 2-0.
Morban hit a two-run home run to start the scoring in the top of the second inning, and added another two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning. Justin Smoak hit his third home run of the spring, and Michael Saunders and Raul Ibañez each hit doubles.
Starting pitcher Jeremy Bonderman (2-0) earned the win allowing two runs over 4.0 innings. The right-hander struck out a pair, did not walk a batter and induced two groundball double plays. Relief pitchers Andrew Carraway (2.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R), Carson Smith (1.0 IP, K) and Bobby LaFromboise (1.0 IP, H, BB) turned in scoreless efforts out of the bullpen.
The Mariners (13-7) will host The Netherlands in a World Baseball Classic exhibition game tonight at 7:05 p.m. at Peoria Stadium. The game vs. The Netherlands will be broadcast live on 710 ESPN Seattle with Rick Rizzs and Aaron Goldsmith calling the action. Jon Garland (1-0, 1.50) is slated to start the evening game vs. The Netherlands.
Seattle returns to Cactus League play tomorrow with a road game vs. the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale (Radio – 710 ESPN Seattle). Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez (1-0, 0.00) is scheduled to make his four appearance and second spring start vs. Rockies right-hander Chris Volstad (0-0, 1.29)

I did not make my elder boy any bento this morning because he had to attend dancing lesson as preparation for the school's sports day which is just around the corner. Snacks were provided during the lesson hence he didn't need any bento.
In fact the kids are not allowed to bring their own food whenever there is any dancing lesson.
Since I had a bento break today, I shall take this chance to share some of JY's latest I-Clay artworks.

Keeping the kernel updated with the real nvidia driver is a pain, but needed is you run the real nvidia driver (like we do). For those not experienced with RHEL and nvidia kernel modules, when you install a new kernel, you have to run the nvidia installer after the system boots under the new kernel to build the nvidia module for that kernel.

'Amazing Raise' to increase charitable giving to local nonprofits
Citizen Staff Reports 09/17/12
The Community Foundation's 'Amazing Raise' will return Thursday with $113,000 up for grabs. The unique online giving event is designed to empower the people of metro Richmond to come together and raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits in just 36 hours. This year, 450 organizations working in areas ranging from arts and education to homelessness and health care are eligible to participate.
The top three organizations with the most unique donations of $50 or more will receive $20,000, $15,000 and $10,000 respectively – doubled from 2011. Grants of $2,500 each will be awarded to "early birds" or the first 15 organizations to reach at least 50 donations of $50 or more. Mini-contests will help spur giving during certain time periods (Sunset Special or Procrastinator's Prize) or to signify certain achievements, such as Most Improved or Long Distance Donor. Last year, the Amazing Raise generated nearly 6,500 donations and $630,000 in donations and incentive prizes. A total of 270 organizations received at least one donation, with Church Hill Activities and Tutoring taking home the top prize with 382 unique gifts. The Amazing Raise will begin at 6 a.m. Sept. 19 and continue until 6 p.m. Sept. 20. To donate or to track the donation process in real time, visit http://www.giverichmond.org |
VBS seeks blood donations
Citizen Staff Reports 12/16/2013
Virginia Blood Services (VBS), the sole supplier of blood for more than 20 hospitals throughout the state of Virginia, is in need of blood donors to help replenish the local blood supply over the holidays.
A decline in blood donations is typical during the winter months as people become busy with holiday activities and travel. Patient needs remain steady, however, making it important for people to visit a VBS donor site or mobile drive to give blood. > Read more.

Actually, I think it's fake. Why did they have the video camera set up in the corner? Just for fun? And certainly the girl would have screamed or freaked out if she really didn't know that he was going to break the table. I call shenanigans.

I am currently sitting at 6'2 248 lbs. I had my body fat done Monday and I was at 12.3% (Although I think that I am a good bit lower than this with my obliques and lower abs coming in). I am not natural by any means but I need something to get me over the hump and down to 8%.
I have been using T3 for the last three months but I am about to come off of it as it has stopped working. I can not use hardcore stimulants such as clen or redline because of anxiety and heart flutters.
I am looking for the best supplement to help with appetite suppression and also boost the final bit of fat loss for me. My diet is perfect and I do cardio for 1-2 hrs 5x per week. Anything that is a strong stimulant would not work. I am interested in the topical fat loss liquid which is popular on this board as well, but I see it as out of stock everywhere.
Thoughts and feelings?

Elijah Wood, Actor By Day, Food Blogga By Night. Snappin' Pix @ Chego!
Elijah Wood, actor & food pornographer.
As if there wasn't enough competition in the LA food blogger scene, now even Elijah Wood can't help but pop off a few shots of his grub before mowin' down his chow.
His food porn subject ― Chego!'s One Chubby Pork Belly bowl. (Definitely some chubby fetish happening.)
I "accidentally" took this shot of Elijah Wood and his dining companion taking photos of their food when I was snapping a wider shot of the Chego! dining room. Ooopsy, there they are.
Elijah took quite a few photos of his rice bowl which leads me to think that he isn't casual at all about his new venture. The steely determination evident on his face to get a steady, naturally lit, ECU shot sans flash was not to be messed with.
I thought it was pretty cool that he didn't have any hang-ups about being a big star taking a few pix of his food before polishing off his bowl. He's just like us except he could buy a lot more bowls of One Chubby Pork Belly than I ever could...oh, yeah, and he can act really good too.
It's a topsy-turvy world! Would you try your hand as food blogger if you were a young A-list celeb? Elijah would.
Say "Samwise"!

Hi, I recently had to do a lot of genotyping for the transgenic mice in our lab. It was very easy, just cut the tails, extract the DNA, run the PCR, and visualize with a gel. My question is, I previously remember having to "genotype transgenic mice" before, and was required to do a restriction digest. I can't for the life of me remember why, if I can just extract whole genomic DNA, and be able to genotype accurately with that. I remember my PI yelling at me like a dunce because I wanted to use whole genomic DNA then go straight to PCR. Is there a reason I could have needed to do a restriction digest? Moreso to the point, once DNA is extracted it remains whole genomic DNA, like.. in a circle, shouldn't I have to somehow cut it in order for the PCR denaturing step to come along and cleave the double stranded DNA lengths? And also generate workable, straight lengths of DNA to work with? Or does the denaturing step in PCR do enough to separate the double strands for the primers to come along and amplify where they need to? Thanks!!

I think you misunderstand eukaryotic DNA - most of it is more or less linear, not circular like plasmids. In general genomic DNA should be fine for PCR - are you sure the "restriction digest" you were doing wasn't a RNase step? Otherwise there may be some specific insert in the DNA that when combined with the PCR gives you the genotype. However, this would be particular to the exact mouse strain you are using.
Posted 01 March 2013 - 06:52 AM
Your PI should have given you a clear, written protocol for the genotyping and interpretation of results. Every engineered mouse strain is different. Some require restriction digest before or after PCR, because of interference by pseudogenes or other complications. Your protocol would tell you which enzyme to use- there are hundreds. Just getting a band on a gel is not necessarily enough- the hand size is used to score the genotype and often the zygosity. If you have a lot of mice to deal with, your PI should consider an automated gentoyping service. It saves money in time, cage costs and peace of mind regarding the use of the animals in expensive experiments; and some offer a free trial.

The aim of the study is to allow an exact risk estimation for this disease. Therefore, relatives of people with type 1 diabetes can be tested on autoantibodies – the "precursors" of type 1 diabetes - in the Natural History Study. This provides a first risk estimation. In case of a confirmed positive result, the participants can have their risk determined more detailed in phase 2 and 3 of the study.
Participation is free of charge for persons aged 1-20 years, if they have a first, second or third degree relative with type 1 diabetes. With a first degree relative with type 1 diabetes, participation is possible up to age 45. In this relative, the diabetes must have been diagnosed before the age of 40 years, and insulin treatment must have started within a year.

I am from a hacker community - not necessarily the bad side that everyone seems to be afraid of.
I am a person who got a new phone, promptly downloaded the firmware on it and customized it well beyond what the original design and specifications for customization were.
I code in several different languages and make software, and hardware tools do my bidding daily.
However, I do not partake in acts that would breach any agreement I have made with anyone (for example, hacking Sony firmware or hardware) or would be illegal.
Now, having said that.
I'm of the firm belief that this firmware release from Sony may run foul of the ACCC and the Australian Trade Practices Act.
The Australian Trade Practices Act states
- The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
- The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
- The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from. For example, any carpet laid must be the same quality and colour as the sample you chose from.
- You must receive clear title to the goods, including goods bought at auction. In other words, you can expect to own the goods outright and any restriction on ownership should be explained to you beforehand.
The act makes a very good analogy using carpet. I however propose one more applicable to Sony and this update.
Sony have sold me a Playstation 3 unit capable of being used with the OtherOS feature - legitimately half the reason I purchased such an expensive device. Sony are now removing that feature, decreasing my purchase value by half.
This is akin to selling me a table with 4 legs, and then coming into my house some time later to remove 2 of them.
Yes, they give me the ability to ignore this update, but doing so will break OTHER features of my system - that I have paid for.
So that's a choice of which two legs would I like Sony to remove.
I'm in the process of writing a letter to Sony and the ACCC regarding this news - it's not hard to see that Sony are quite probably in breach of these laws as the device I purchased is clearly labeled and sold for uses that will be disabled after this update.
Further based on what I've read here - the box was clearly marked as being able to run other operating systems, that was clearly a factor in my decision to purchase the device, if it was marked "We may decide to remove this feature at a later date" I wouldn't have made this purchase.
This modification DOES change the suitability of the device for a purpose and does put it at odds with the material it was marketed with.
Edit: Official source - http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/03/28/ps3-firm
Also note, I do not believe format shifting (transfering from CD to MP3) to be legal, I also suspect that recording from TV and Radio however tollerated or unenforced is not legal
The thing is... the TOS you agree to when you access PSN and again when you download and install a Firmware Update give Sony permission to modify their software as much as they please.
30-03-2010 09:19 PM - edited 30-03-2010 09:24 PM
Which does not imply that I gave them permission to remove a core feature which was clearly used in the marketing and valuing of the original device.
The feature may have been handled, in some way or entirely by software but it was marketed ON THE BOX to a target market that was interested in laying down $700 to use that feature.
The ACCC tends to agree with me in that respect, they're a little gray on firmware updates but they're not at all fond of features that were used to increase the perceived value of the device through marketing being removed. They might not if it wasn't written as a feature on the box but it is.
To satisfy them I must pen a letter to Sony and wait a reasonable amount of time for a reply, then I can contact my local office of fair trading.
In this country - TOS necessarily doesn't trump law and rights, especially when the likes of TOS are presented well after sale and ownership has changed hands, also especially when there is no signatures involved.
I put to you - how long till they remove other features for security?
The built in browser? How often does IE, Firefox, etc suffer a security exploit, surely that's an attack vector (hell it was one of the original ways to JailBreak the iPhone)
The network streaming? Sure, it's secure lol, so was OpenSSH - one of the best vetted secure protocols on earth.

As said in other post... somewhere.

The capbilities on the box were all there in the software when you bought the product.
And you do actually agree to them removing features, and that is when you update the software.

I think you need to recheck some of your 'facts'. There have been several court cases Im aware of and theres definately legislation relating to the installation of mod chips and their use.

Isnt it because the modchip modify's/reverses the OS software
which is generally a no-no in the IT world unless the software was in public domain.

(HORI stick owners tamper with and modify their sticks as soon as they take them out of the box)... but it is 'their' network, and thus their right to ban you from using it..
Also.. that is the same arguement that copyright infringers use... "Oh I bought the game/CD... I can do anything I want with it..."

Isn't it on the consumers hands? It is up to you to choose and accept the TOS, the agreement that you will play by the rules if you are to install the latest update. If you agree, then you are agreeing to drop Other OS support. If you don't want to agree to that, then don't accept the TOS and don't install the update...Sony are giving you the choice are they not?
on 31-03-2010 08:04 AM
A passing thought...
What if Sony decided to keep the "Other OS" option even after it came to light that that the PS3 could be hacked by it.
At first the 1% of users who use "Other OS" would rejoice and cheer, the rest of us would probably say "Meh, whatever".
But then a particualy skilled hacker gets into the PSN and shuts it down. We all now know what the result of that would be after the leap year incident, No PSN, No Trophys and restricted game access if at all.
Then 99% of users blames Sony for NOT doing somthing earlier.
When weighing up the options, regardless of local laws, Sony would be mad not to remove the "Other OS" option if the Hacking story is true.
I do feel sorry for those who legitamitly use Linux for computing but you can not blame Sony for wanting to protect thier product so 99% of its users will continue to have uniterupted access.
Yes, Sony is a company in the business of making money but there is no profit in taking this action. Its a simple act of self preservation.
If you want to get angry and blame someone, look no further than the "Hackers", without them there would bo no problem.
on 31-03-2010 08:30 AM
I really don't see why people are complaining. If you like Linux on your big TV so much then buy (or re-use if you have one lying around) a cheapy old laptop or box, put ubuntu on it and output it to your TV. Its more flexible than using your PS3 anyway, as you're not bound by the restrictions of the PPC Architecture and restricted GFX/Memory. Plus you can upgrade the hardware to your heart's content.
Me? I use my PS3 for games and media. If I want to play an emulator or surf the web, I use my computer. If I want to do that on a big screen, then I plug my laptop into my TV and use it as a monitor.
Although I can understand people's frustration, the amount of whinging that is going on is astounding. Especially since the Linux/OtherOS functionality was significantly crippled functionality to begin with - and for the fraction of the price of a PS3, you can create your own Linux box that is infinitely more flexible.

Volunteers young and old help serve Christmas dinner
Updated On: Dec 24 2012 11:00:00 PM CST
While many were up opening presents this morning, a few others were looking to give back to their community.
"It's nice to have some place to go. I work but I still don't have money to buy a Christmas dinner," said Kathy Kniffen.
"Today we're serving the public as well as the group that stays here," said Kevin West, Assistant Manager of the Haven of Mercy.
I found out they prepared to serve 3 to 5 thousand plates of food.
"That's what we're all about, is serving people that can't get out to enjoy a good Christmas meal," said West.
West tells me the volunteers are what make it happen. "It's something we're blessed with doing and something we enjoy doing."
However, while you may expect to see adults handing out the food, just look down and you will see the little ones lending their helping hands.
"My brother is serving drinks and I'm handing out desserts," said Lauren Davis.
Lauren and Rowdy Davis told me it was their idea to come and volunteer. "I thought I could change people's lives and teach the word of God and thought this would be a great way to do it."
"I'm thrilled because this is my opportunity to help," said Rowdy Davis.
Lauren told me this is not the only time they plan to volunteer.
"It's not just Christmas, we're supposed to be living the lifestyle of Christ throughout the year," said Lauren Davis.
We learned the haven of mercy also gave out gifts to everyone who attended... giving everyone a little extra cheer.

"The Foundation Trilogy is a True Classic"
Asimov is superb, particularly when one considers that he started writing this series in the early 1950s. As a result it reads and sounds like the period. For all that, this is a great classic and Scott Brick is an excellent reader. The story and cast of characters is much more complex than the average novel. I found that a 2nd listen not only made everything clearer, but was even more enjoyable than the first.
A few reviewers comment on dropped sentences. It helps to have access to the printed version. Chapters are frequently introduced with excerpts of the fictitious Encyclopedia Galactica, and these excerpts are - in both the print and Audible version - often dropped mid-sentence. This is Asimov.
Highly recommended for any SciFi fan.
"An old friend revisited"
I first read Asimov's original Foundation Triology Back in the early 60's. Later, as he added volumes to the Foundation series, I would grab up every Foundation book as they came out, ending with Foundation and Earth in 1986. I have always recommended Asimov to friends and acquaintances as a "classic" to be be read by all Sci-Fi fans.
A few months ago, I noticed "Prelude to Foundation" when browsing through Audible to find my next "listen." I also decided to download the rest of the series so I could go through it all again in sequential order.
Quite obviously, I had no doubt about Asimov as I've have been a reader of his for over 50 years now. I was quite impressed with the reader and also very impressed that he seems to be the reader for all books in the series so we gain the continuity of the presentation.
I just cannot recommend the Foundation stories highly enough. Again, a classic and so very well performed by Scott Brick.
One word of caution to readers/listeners to Asimove's style. There are times it seems, in all his writing that he begins to edge into a tangent of over description whether it be a personality, an event, or just a segment of the story. DO NOT let this cause dismay and do not allow yourself to drift, waiting for the dialog to pick up. It is all so important to end up with a genuine undersstanding of the story. All will come true to your expectations.
I know this review is on the first book written (Foundation) but I cannot help but speak of the entire works. Asimov is timeless. The reader, superb. Do yourself a favor and commit to the entire works of Foundation. When you're done, you'll want to pursue the Robot books as well as the Empire books. Asimove wrote much and in the end you'll wish he wrote more.
"In spite of its flaws, I couldn't put it down."
This is a work of creative genius. The plot is intricate and compelling, breath-taking in its scope, and wildy imaginative. The characters aren't terribly well-developed, and the dialogue is sometimes cheesy, but that almost doesn't matter because my focus was drawn, again and again, to the "big picture". As soon as I think I've lost interest, Asimov drops a bombshell plot twist, and I'm back. Fantastic.
"Great story - terrible and distracting narration"
Fast plotting, lots of twists, and cool use of
For the first time in years I had to turn off the ipod and buy a hard copy of the book so I could finish this great story. The narrator, Scott Brick, voiced all the characters with such a snarky, arrogant persona that it highly distracted from the plot. Sometimes I couldn't even follow the dialog because I was wondering why two characters would be talking to each other in such condescending tones.
I can't understand why this guy is such a popular narrator. I won't buy another audible title if he's doing the reading!
"Wanted to like it more"
The Book
Having heard so much about Asimov, I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy Foundation. Having finished the book, I wouldn't say that I hated the book or even really disliked it so much as I simply wasn't impressed. I don't plan to listen to the rest of the series. Over and over again as I was listening, I thought that the book simply has not stood up to the test of time. It just felt dated and old, like watching a classic movie comedy that never makes you smile, even though you know that it was really funny back when it first came out.
The writing style was not very engaging to the modern reader. Two quick examples:
1) Almost zero character development. Foundation actually functions like 4 mini-books within the larger book and I never found myself caring for any of the characters. You are with each for a short amount of time and then you can forget about them entirely. The plot is the only thing that matters.
2) Very little action. I realize I'm from the Nintendo generation and that might mean my attention span is lacking. But seriously, can't we get a chase scene or a fight or something? There was a military coup that we actually didn't get to see and even a hostage situation on a hostile planet never got my blood racing.
The Narration
The narration was adequate but nothing about it made Scott Brick seem particularly noteworthy. Perhaps this is not the best book on which to to judge Brick since Foundation is such a marathon dialogue session. You won't like the book any less because of Brick's narration, but I suppose you won't like it any more either.
The Verdict
If you enjoy science fiction and are interested in reading a classic work, by all means, dive right in. Also, if you are the kind of person that enjoys old things and are able to appreciate them for what they are without being distracted by the additional flaws that come with age, you might also enjoy Foundation. Otherwise, you are likely to be disappointed with this read.
"Great book and narration"
I'm almost finished with the book and I have found no problems with the narration or editing. I can see what other people mean about it being a bit difficult to keep track of all the characters and figure out who is talking, but keep in mind (for those like myself who are new to the Foundation series) that the book moves from epoch to epoch, with each story having a manageable number of characters. I also agree that the narrator (Scott Brick) doesn't do the best job I've heard him do of distinguishing between characters, but it's really not bad.
On the content side, I'm a fan of many Star Wars books and a few others by authors like Kevin J Anderson and Timothy Zahn but had never read much of Asimov. I'm already hooked and looking forward to the rest of the books in this immense series.
Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"OK.This is a classic."
As I personally do not enjoy Scott Brick as a narrator, I downloaded this through an Audible Sale. Redardless, the story still holds up as a classic. This is for me another 'great' that I read ages ago, and hearing it read is a little like a lazy read.
I am still listening, and as the Sale is still on I wanted to let others know this is great story. I think what holds up is a view that humanity's development is slow indeed. With so much going on at the moment in research into Global Conciousness and the effectiveness of group meditations, this is a story that is worth hearing. Well for those who not yet read or heard of Foundation.... Think along lines of who is best served by manipulating belief systems, and put that against great Research that is being done.
"Like remembering an old love"
Having read this series long ago I was pleased to renew an acquaintance with an old love. This is a great series and this first book is performed flawlessly. The tale of science fiction that improves with age is rare. A wonderful book with a great narration.
1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
I was Six when I read it, the next day I committed to my first trip to local library.
Try to guess which book I was looking for?
I was looking for "Encyclopedia Galactica"
Years have passed and I still have memories of Hari Seldon and Galactic Empire, the story of rise and fall of great civilization evolution and changes in human mind.
The story of Foundation is a science fiction epic which deserves to be read or listened with new voice of Scott Brick
"Great book, poor production"
Great book, Scott Brick is excellent, Production or editing was poor. Drop outs and repeated sentences almost ruined it for me

Given the new elements in the upcoming expansion. What tweaks to the currently available civs do you expect or hope for? Keep in mind the changes the expansion offers. Some of my initial thoughts are as follows:
City State Changes:
This seems to affect Siam the most as their UA may change to include Mercantile and Religious CSs, or may be completely reworked.
This could be a chance to bolster the UA of underwhelming civs like America and England.
Lots of potential changes here. Most people seem to be talking about the Aztecs receiving Faith instead of Culture for their kills.
Melee Ships:
We may see Korea's Turtle Ships become a replacement for a melee ship instead of a Caravel. It was a ship famous for ramming and bombardment, so it may do both.
