Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 11, 2005 6:16pm PDTMan those silly WoW patches continue to clog things up like mad every time they come out. I do wonder how long the legs are on WoW. I guess UO and EQ are still going pretty strong.. who knows.

After many german gamers were disappointed Quake 4 will ship censored in germany, Activision had a little surprise for us: They are going to ship the uncensored version of the game first (!) without showing it to the agency responsible for ratings (USK).
The story was as follows:
id Software (not Activision) went to germany with a censored version of the game, titled "Quake 4 (dt.)" (note: dt. means german). The USK (the agency responsible for the ratings) rated this version 16+. Nobody at Activision germany has seen this version and can say anything about it - they don't even know what has been censored. The game is going to be released on 10-20 here BUT they will release the uncut version which has not been rated by the USK. It's pretty sure that will cause trouble (it will likely be put on the index) but they still have the 16+ version. If something fails, they still can sell the censored version which has already been approved (they could not do that with Quake 3).
And: Quake 4 will be available as DVD in germany :-)
Dunno whether the PC Gamer rumors are true and how other reviewers will rate the game, but this game deserves to be bought, because Acrivision is cool as hell :-).

His needs are pretty basic as he is just going to use it to post his weekly playlists, the ocational picture, etc. However, the interface needs to be pretty fucking simple when it comes to posting. I was thinking movable type but that always seemed like such a limited package.
I don't see anything about this being against the rules, so here we go
My friend across the street and I share a wireless connection. She's using my router, and I pay her $10 a month... good program. However since we started several other people in the neighborhood have started using wireless routers on the same channel. Stupid me didn't even THINK about changing the SSID from linksys when I hooked it up because there wasn't another router in the area back then.
So I just go change the channel and the SSID, right? Thing is... I don't remember my administrator password :\ And she's visiting her husband in Berlin and won't be back for several weeks. And there sits the router... In the window across the street. Taunting me.
Anyone have any idea how I can access my linksys router, and get crack-a-lacking?

They changed the distance fade on props which means that you can see through stuff sometimes. Other times you wont know its there so you're shooting at a guy and nothing is hitting. Since he is close to it he knows where cover is though.
I can't find the variable to change it even if I can. Anyone know what it is?

Okay, so I'm helping my family set up their new home theater system and we have ran into a problem. Basically, there are two issues:
1. The connections for the surround sound system (wiring is pre-installed with the house) are non-standard plugs and we can't figure out what the hell they are, or how to connect our new Sony reciever to them. Pics attached: http://coloradocnc.shackspace.com/DSCF0001.JPG http://coloradocnc.shackspace.com/DSCF0002.JPG We have tried normal speaker black/red plugs, and the ones with the gold springy connection and neither fit.
2. Same type of problem with the subwoofer. We can't figure out what type of cable we need to run the audio out from the reciever to the wall input and the wall input to the subwoofer. The cables that came with the subwoofer (standard diameter audio plug) won't fit in either the ingoing or outgoing wall slot. It's just a little too big. http://coloradocnc.shackspace.com/DSCF0003.JPG http://coloradocnc.shackspace.com/DSCF0004.JPG
If anyone can offer any help, it would be greatly appreciated.

This girl lost her fiance (child hood sweetheart) and all of his family in one swift blow as their apartment complex collapsed. She's literally lost all her senses now. Another guy who used to call himself a macho man is crying like a baby because he's lost count of how many family members he's lost, including his sister.
Another guy was saved by a missed call, had he not decided to call back he wouldve been in the shower when the quake hit.
Funny thing is, most people affected by these disasters are down to earth poor people.
Despite this disaster, the peoples response is amazing, People from all over the country , young and old are going over to help however they can. And many of these young tough boys start crying just seeing the disaster and how its affected people.
