2Obviously a fashion and status item only nowadays, but if one has a bug, one can't help it. Can't afford omegas or IWC's but you can find swiss (ETA) movements at decent prices.
Tried it since v11, it's really fast and intuitive to edit clips once you get the basics and learn a few shortcuts. But there's not much on the image processing side.
Anyway, nice piece of software.

You miss the fact that US already HAVE Canada , the same way as Russia used to have Ukraine. If Russia or China would have been able and helped a nice red revolution in Canada, US would not have been happy with Ontario only.
Keep checking, you may found out when we'll have to switch to posting in Cyrillic 
This very low level manipulation must work for the Ukrainians who don't have access to the internet, guess they are boosting the internal political support. Such moves are eroding very quickly their international backing though.
Putin's mega aid convoy move was very smart, he scored here big time.
Indeed, the delayed black-box results, is quite fishy. If they showed clear evidence against the rebels or Russia, they would have posted it the next day. The longer they wait, the more doubtful and debated those results will be irrespective of what they will show.

Donetsk people as well as the rest of Ukrainians I guess they can, ones who cannot are the large space guys: US govt. working on expanding their area of "democracy" and Russia feeling frustrated it can't control the outside world, even if in its doorstep.
As much as I hate the communist times of my country, what Ukraine is doing to its citizens is retarded, and they are really worth a good shake. Dropping phosphorus bombs on residential areas is not quite European, is it? US correctly stopped serbs's genocide, Russia should do the same.
As cynical as this may sound, this accident is not the point in this all Ukraine situation. It's a very tragic event most likely caused by some irresponsible monkey having a gun way above his abilities, someone already shared this view. I flew above crimeea a few days earlier, it could have been my plane targeted. Randomness is something our brains don't like. We need clear cause and effect, otherwise we invent gods and secret societies.
Is it also possible that the shooters crashed the plane on purpose? Yes it is. Could be either side.
Imagine someone dealing with daily misery and death around him, looking in the sky, watching the world carelessly passing above. I don't think they would give a shit killing innocent strangers, after seeing their kind slaughtered.
They (Ukranian east and west)have to stop and negociate. The deeper they go the spyral of crapdoing, the harder it will be. It's really amazing how far they are from considering a truce. Ukranian army is so cocky, it's unreal. NATO will never engage Russia here, if things go more shittty, it will be the scenario of mercenaries on both sides engaged in a slow guerilla war. Guess who will suffer most?

It's a shame people don't understand that there's never compensation or netting between wrongdoings. It always spirals into chaos.
Thanks all for links and info, it's a good thread overall.
My take on this is simplifying, and this is always a dangerous thing to do but this is how I rationalize the events.
1. Small countries are always under the gravitational pulls of the large powers. This gravity means political and economic influence, interference, manipulation, etc. I'm not debating on why is this happening, it's as natural as gravity.
2. Ukraine as a state, was and is under strong Russian influence. Their leaders have obviously always been "validated" by Russia. Russia paid, and still pays for its presence (and for their Crimean bases) with gas, but did not care too much what crap those leaders were doing in their own country because corruption is something natural in Russia too.
3. Ukraine has a diverse ethnic structure but lacks the wisdom of a mature country, corruption is endemic and ethnic intolerance is at high levels all over the country. Blaming Russia for all that is a cheap shot.
4. Maidan came as a reaction of the western side of the country, build on the frustration that they cannot escape the Russian sphere of influence. Of course there was western (US) interference and support in all this, there always is, see point one.
5. Russia took Maidan events as an aggression of the US on it's sphere of influence(EU is a military dwarf, it does not count), and being kind of a last stand for them (see the strategic positioning of Crimeea) reacted aggressively to it. Imagine Russia trying such a move in Central America, how would US react..). I think this was their plan B in case there are signs of losing Ukraine, brake it and create a smaller buffer. It is a rather recurring strategy of theirs: Kaliningrad, Transtistria, etc.
But again, these are defensive moves. I believe the Russian leaders have this growing frustration that they feed half of the world with raw materials and energy, are at the same time a huge consumer market for Western products, but politically and militarily, Russia is shrinking at at fast pace. This is a lose-lose situation, that they are very aware of. So they are unlikely to let go.
6. Ukraine's East is ethnically Russian. Ukraine has to respect and deal with that correctly. The slogans of the Maidan were not that much for freedom and reconciliation, they often targeted directly the Russian citizens of Ukraine. A country that is in control of its territory by using its army against its citizens does not deserve that territory, and foreign intervention is necessary from wherever, and whatever the hidden agenda. National sovereignty should never justify international inaction in the face of atrocities.
7. I see no bright future for Ukraine in it's present shape and government format. Having its borders rather artificially set within the USSR, it is very heterogeneous. The only way to save itself is federalization. Otherwise it will brake. Russia needs the eastern buffer, one way or another.
8. Also, the Russians from East Ukraine deserve a normal life, just as normal as the westerners.

Yes Mega Image is Delhaize's brand in Romania. They are very successful in Bucharest, there are so many MegaImage shops, they may exceed soon the number of inhabitants.
I don't get the funny of the poster though..

I really don't know, but it surely does seem good value at around 110-120 EUR, and they boast with it being more energy efficient taking its power straight from the motherboard.
I didn't check the market too much in detail but at times was looking at the Asus GTX 660, but which goes at twice the price....
Maybe people around with more powerful rigs can give us some hints.

yep, I have the same stupid card....the tree panels are purely awesome
Still with all video settings to low I manage to get 50-50 fps and an idea...
Can somebody (who tried the demo) be more explicit about the wrong physics?
Thanks
Thanks

It's always a timing thing, playing HL1 the first time around 17 leaves deeper marks than doing it at 30. HL2 was very good too, but didn't impress me that much. Comes with age I guess..
I pointed at the owner of the rights for Half Life 1, not the modder.
Definitely great effort, and also thumbs up to Valve for giving it away for free. And who knows, maybe it will give a boost to the sequel sales.
Black Mesa is out
Found this on other racing forums. The guys remade HalfLife1 with the new engine, and it's also free so that everyone can experience the best FPS game story ever. Boy, it brings out so many 1998 memories

They should port LFS...with both direction and accel/brake controlled wiht the gyro.
Matej and Don,
Gorgeous pro stuff, btw what teles are you using most often?

The content increased alot, with nice new cars, the BMW, 2 Nissans, a Lambo, and som nice track conversions.
Physics are different from the rest of the genre. Not sure where to put the finger, in some way is more natural, easier to control, but can't say its closer to reality or not.
If more people would invest their time to tweak the rather open pysics model, I'm sure the game will improve exponentially.
FFB is good imo, not rF2, but not that mathematical and elastic as LFS. Still a bit numb.
Graphics, you can all see, for an indie is outstanding, compared to the big names not that much.
Netcode, still in fast development but so far the weakest point.
The developer is dedicated and as helpful as he can be.
The guy who made the video is really talented, highlighting the best of outerra.
Now, also the game is amazing, what it could do with 4 ground textures and one flat pine tree is fantastic.
I'm really hoping that this entire setup will not break down when all the complications come: thousands of textures, building objects, various particles, weather effects, accurate flight or car physics...
