this addon (project) is redundant.

It's like the other one in which they want to incorporate command line in Firefox, instead of having it as a addon under the name of Ubiquity.

With Jetpack they want to replace Greasemonkey and also make easier addon development...

I say to you, it's wasted time... Improve Gecko, XulRunner, but not this...

Submission + - Windows Vista Service Pack 2 released

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft has finally released the final build of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. "The installers will work on English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish versions of either Vista or Server 2008. Other language versions will arrive later. Those interested in slipstreamed versions of Vista and Server 2008 with SP2 will need to get an MSDN or TechNet subscription. There are a few significant additions that are included in SP2: Windows Search 4.0, Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack, the ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Vista, Windows Connect Now (WCN) is now in the Wi-Fi Configuration, and exFAT file system supports UTC timestamps. The service pack contains about 800 hotfixes." Download links included below,

emo or not, you got to admit that the FFF (free form fighting) system was quite impressive and innovative at that time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHgGfsZN-5I

And it's highly subjective, because I liked more the story line and the level design of Warrior Within. Maybe I liked it because it reminded of the original POP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(1989_video_game) which I played often as a kid...

Submission + - Does professional gaming have a future? (bit-tech.net)

mr_sifter writes: "Three years ago, celebrity gamers such as Fatal1ty were bagging millions in prizes and TV channels were queuing up to broadcast games on TV. Professional gaming looked set for the big time. It never happened, and in the current economic crisis, sponsors and media organisations are cutting costs, resulting in the closure of many pro gaming competitions and a downscaling in prize money. This feature looks at whether pro gaming can bounce back, and whether it will always be a PC sport, or if console pro gaming is the future."

well this cannot be know, no study or research has been done on that matter. But I can tell you that we (most of the young people, under 30) don't share the ideology, and don't care about.

A small example, from the entire Romanian blogosphere I read daily (100+) there were only 3-4 who wrote an article about it, and a couple which came with twits like: "gonna watch some TV... actually changed my mind, you can't see anything else except the riot in Moldova".

from the way you speak, and the protests your speaking about I assume you are a member of "Noua Dreapta", an ultra-nationalist organization...

Moldova and Romania have moved on two separate roads, and it's not our right, not our duty to intervene. There is no room for "divine" intervention, if they want to go through with this they'll have to sort it out themselves.

Just take as an example the way that the US cleaned Iraq from dictatorship. Now there are more bomb attacks, political conflicts, etc that anyone would have imagined. The changing of the system can only be done by their citizens, intervention may be interpreted by the communist party as a lack of power from the people they rule.

If you and your ultra nationalist party are rebelled by what's happening, I invite you and your little fellas to go in Moldova and sort things out.
