In case anyone else has this problem today and comes to this forum first for a fix here is the link for a user made fix for this problem.   Looks like the devs super duper emergancy patch fubared it up and it requires a bit of manual intervention to get it fixed.

Now X. before I post the build, remember I've never done a build like this before, so keep that in mind. I worked for Highish defenses and Good -To Hit%. I hope it gets the job done, if not, input on how to make it better would be nice.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Since there are a bunch of other space-geeks around here I'd thought I share this gem of an independent film series, http://vodo.net/pioneerone]Pioneer One. The full synopsis:

Pioneer One Wrote:An object from space spreads radiation over North America. Fearing terrorism, U.S. Homeland Security agents are dispatched to investigate and contain the damage. What they discover is a forgotten relic of the old Soviet space program whose return to Earth will have implications for the entire world.

I will keep this as spoiler free as I can.
I just got back from seeing it, and I'm very happy.
They did a very good job explaining/showing the general setting and character motivations.
I was disappointed in the origins for

Spoiler

, and the sometimes over the top good/evil color code-ing.

But I was pleasantly surprised with how they side stepped the heroic return of

Spoiler

, though this does leave the door open for a sequel. But if that is done with as much love as they did this movie, I have no problems with Tron #3.

The only technical problem I had, was that young Jeff Bridges sat firmly in the uncanny valley. Otherwise, fantastic special effects.

All in all, it's a good movie. If you liked the original, you'll love this.

There was a password discussion over on the FFML and Lately I've been seen several articles not just about Gawker, but other companies being compromised for the password list. This probably isn't any relation, but if you have a habit of using a single passworkd at several sites or use some the passwords listed in the article below you might want to change some passwords.

Gawker Hack Exposes Ridiculous Password Habits

I've seen most of the passwords mentioned in the above article before, but from my own personal experience repairing, rebuilding or salvaging computers I'd add in "King", Queen", "god" and "boss". Teachers seem to like these four.

My personal advice I give to my friends is to pick complex passwords and make sure to write them down and keep them.

I also tell them to always assume I or any other tech they leave their computer with will be able to recover all the passwords they use so CHANGE THEM! after each visit to the repair shop.

Usually if their private stuff like address books, billfolds, purses or diary has been stolen or even gone through they will notice and have time to change passwords, especially if they follow my second bit of advice below.

You don't have to make it obvious it's passwords you have written down, for example pick complex passwords that look like contact information that contains such things as names, birth dates, meeting dates, meeting place, and company affiliations then have your own private mental hash pattern that builds the actual password from what was written down. One example I usually give is the extremely simple hash pattern of picking every 4th character making sure to include spaces, dashes, numbers and any other special characters in the generated password.

The passwords generated this way aren't perfect, but they are better than what would usually be used.

Would anyone happen to know where I could find the third Full Metal Panic novel, Into The Blue, for a reasonable* price?  I can't seem to find it anywhere for under $200, so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.  Thanks.
