Looking for a way to limit the volume on our family room computer, so the girls can't crank it too loud while I am working. Something I can install that they can't go and figure out how to undo (they're pretty smart... our 4 year old can play Quake 3...)

The recently announced downloadable content for Left 4 Dead will be free on both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game. Valve has just sent out this press release that should clear up any confusion.
The recently announced Left 4 Dead Downloadable Content (L4D DLC) will be delivered to Xbox 360 and PC gamers free of charge.
Due for release this spring, the DLC for 2008's best-selling new game property on the PC and Xbox 360, is dubbed the L4D Survival Pack and introduces a new multiplayer game mode entitled, Survival, plus two complete campaigns for Versus Mode (Death Toll, Dead Air). A Critic's Choice Edition of the game will be heading to retail stores this spring, and will include access to all the content introduced in the L4D: Survival Pack.
Left 4 Dead is a survival action game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 25 industry awards from outlets around the world.
As always, there is plenty of additional information on Left 4 Dead at L4D.com.

WoW was part of the reason why I didn't update the site, but the biggest reason was the database got corrupted and restoring a backup didn't fix it, and I didn't feel up to fixing it. It took me a whole day to get it back up. I also plan on getting Giants: Citizen Kabuto up soon, thanks to http://gog.com/ making it available. I'm considering revisiting old games gog.com makes available and putting videos of them up.

It provides another graph of recessions and gives a little more context. I think the fear comes in the first twelve months. People expect the bottom to fall out (dollar collapsing!!!) and in the second year its already recovering. I think employers are quick to get rid of their worthless divisions and clean house to get down to a bare bones efficient workforce. This recession will most likely be very bad and possibly worse than all the previous ones but hopefully we hit that bottom in the next 1-3 months in terms of job losses.
