I love this story and all legislators should take heed when making standards.

Actually I thought Snowcrash might be interested in this, but have an idea that he probably already knows.

Have you got the no more missions bug in GTA4? If you have I might have found a fix, it worked for me.

Firstly load GTA4 and check your stats, do you have the Bernie missions showing? If like me you didn't have then do this.

Get a car and drive to Ivy Drive south, you should see a mission chevron waiting for you, outside the front door to Bernie's house. Just drive into or walk into the chevron and the mission should trigger as normal and fix the bug.

For some reason the mission doesn't show on the map but the mission is still there. Once you have completed the mission "Hating the Haters" your game should start working as normal and start showing missions on the map again.

This story came up on our front page at Ai Dreams courtesy of the BBC news feed. It's about Yahoo wanting to re-imagine itself and to stay relevant. It got me curious as recently I got fed up with the quality of Yahoo search results and was always getting a second opinion from Google. After a few months I simply had to concede that Google's results were so much better than Yahoo's, more relevant and got me what I wanted quickly.

So I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with Yahoo ? I do use it for Mail still as their mail is very good imho and I check out the head lines. But they are slipping behind it seems.

Anyway I will stop rambling.... here's the article :

I've begun working with the skin texture jpg for a full body character, the original image info is 1024x1024 pixles, 3.41x3.41 in. , 300 pix/in. I'd like to get more pixles in. I can get 2048x2048 same size, 600pix/in. 3072x3072 same size, 900 pix/in., 4096x4096 pixles, 1200 pix/in. same size.
I load the htr, load the skin texture jpg, all 4 textures will load, I frist noticed a problem when trying to reload the 4096 after making a change to it, the Hapregestry had to shutdown. I run into the same thing using the hapPlayer I downloaded. with less pixels I can load more but after repeated loading I may cause the player to shut down..
To be sure I just tried loading all the jpg's again, 1024, was loaded 10 times and seems okay, the 2048 was loaded 10 times and seems okay, the 3072 laoded 10 times and seems okay, the 4096 when loaded once caused a shutdown. This was in the Hacked happlayer. Earlier I experienced problems in the HapRegestry.
I'm hoping you will be able to say this causes this therfore a problem hopefuly with a solution. The 3072 should be workable. The 3072 is times three not a power of four and I can not see a problem. I'll mention earlier I found different behaviors using the hap player, the hapregestry and the Hal hap player.

MS have released a beta version of IE9; I'm running it now and it seems ok so far.

IE9 brings us HTML5, GPU rendering and more.
