I brought back a nook Wifi back from the States when I went to see STS-133; I was also irritated when I tried to order a Color earlier in the year and was unable.

Very annoying; I don't want to have to buy one off eBay.

We are offshore; We're hosted in Germany, based in the UK - but our DNS is American, and so are a lot of our members.

I suspect I'm being wound up, but when somebody is being a deliberate arsehole and intentionally disrupting any and all threads and conversations, they need to be removed. We're very lenient on bans, but the function is there for a reason.

Yes I have, as part of the scheme being run by http://americancensorship.org/. We also have a very annoying splashscreen on /index.php, which is viewable at the link if you have javascript enabled, and a big black bar over our logo at the top of every single page.

However, not all of our members are in the US; if I had to guess, maybe 10k are. Of that, how many will actually give enough of a damn to contribute?

I admin a forum with a little over 30k members.

In the past, we've had a former member we've banned file a false DMCA claim against us and successfully take us down. We moved DNS and have been up since; For the record, 1and1 didn't even investigate, whereas our replacement, GoDaddy, kept a note of the circumstances and have notified us when that same person has tried to take us down again.

If this passes, our little forum is fucked. No two ways about it; Somebody will get butthurt about being banned and we'll get taken down, again - but this time, there's a risk of actual criminality behind it.

Don't tell me that this will be carefully used and no false claims will succeed, because we've been on the wrong end of that tale before.

Today, we're participating in the scheme being run by http://americancensorship.org/; If you run a site, regardless of mission, you should too.

And those few items you can't find are the preorder bonuses, like Bills Hat - given out for preordering L4D2, or the Sam and Max hats.

Are you running on more than one core?
If so, when you launch VTMB, hit CTRL+shift+ESC, go to the processes tab, right click VTMB, set affinity -> pick a core. I had the same problem in Vista, it doesn't like being threaded.

Ad...vert?

What is this..Ad-Vert of which you speak?

...Didn't someone mod a dungeon from Daggerfall into Oblivion - Cybiades, something like that?

Answer my own question.... Tesnexus

Not sure if it is actually a ported dungeon, but the textures would certainly indicate that to be the case.

If that dungeon is any indication of the game proper, and not just a high level one...damn.

So as you know - Egosoft (or rather, Deep Silver) released a patch (2.0.2 if memory serves) which removed the DRM from that - if you purchased the 2.0 version, Starforce was already removed.

R4s, Edge, M3 et al will not work on the DSi - however, the newer "EZ Flash Vi" and "Acekard 2i" both will. I am not aware of any other DSi compatible carts though.

Except for the fact that current graphics cards are using GDDR4/5.

Most (if not all) of the other games on STEAM will allow you to view and back up the key for them - should STEAM go up in a puff, then simply use the key you already have to install from other media *cough*Bittorrent*cough*
