I love this project. It's so well maintained.
There's a couple of new improvements to the GUI and other stuff.
"After so many months after the last release finally it’s time!
XBMC Live Atlantis Beta1 has been released and is available at sourceforge.
Lots of changes since last release, the major ones:
* it’s a live CD, hoping it would be easier to try it!
* It supports NVIDIA, ATI/AMD and Intel via a boot menu
* it now contains a Live USB creator
* it automounts the local hard disk partitions, ie you can have access your media files
* it is configured automatically to get an IP address via DHCP (network card must be supported by the kernel)
* it runs sshd by default, so it supports incoming sftp/scp as well
* it is configured by default to use any connected MCEUSB2 remotes
It still has some rough edges, but with your feedback on the forum we will definitively improve and let the next release be a better one!
Cheers

Expensive Pizza!

Dough! Alberta family charged $2,600 for pizzas
Canwest News Service
Published: Tuesday, September 16, 2008
An Alberta family's recent trip to the Philippines ended up being a slice more expensive than they had planned -- after they were charged $2,600 for two pizzas.
The Heigh family from St. Albert, just outside of Edmonton, was travelling in the Philippines over the summer when they spotted a Pizza Hut.
They ordered pizza two different days, said Shannon Heigh, who paid with her MasterCard.
But instead of being charged in local pesos, the bill went through in U.S. dollars.
"Combined, the two pizzas ended up being over $2,600," said Heigh.
Because it was such a large amount, Shannon went over her credit limit, prompting MasterCard to freeze her account.
The charge has left the family's finances depleted.
"There was a trip we were planning on doing the last weekend, a trip to an island for three or four days that we had promised the kids, and we had to cancel that," Heigh said.
She phoned Pizza Hut, which put her in contact with its bank, which reversed one of the charges.
But four weeks later, the other pricey pie still hasn't been refunded.
"[The bank] has told me continually that it has been reversed and that 'Tomorrow, tomorrow ma'am,' [but] it still has never been done," she said.
Heigh also filed a complaint with MasterCard."

SOME HATE MAIL...
"I am a single mother. A single mother of three boys! And it's tough enough to keep them from acting up without people like you in the world. You are a disgrace to the whites, if you're white. My second born son has been, as you call it, "flipping out" recently and he started doing so around the same time the boys discovered your site. And surprise surprise, my son seriously harmed his brother AND now his behavior is affecting his schoolwork. Are you going to tutor him, jerk? I'm a single mother! His rambunctious attitude is going to get him put in jail or even juvenile hall. You are encouraging kids to go berserk and disregard rules. I demand that you take down this immediately, before I call the police. Trust me, mr. hamburger, this is one single mother of three boys you do not want to mess with. I will lobby to have your site banned for the rest of your life. I'll see you in court. Write me back and we'll talk some more.
yours,
a single mother of three boys you do not want to mess with"
Nerdiest game ever.

It's a MYSQL database query game.. Use your Queries to destroy other players.
"INSERT FROM*"...
"welcome to mySQLgame (shard 1 - 8009 rows)
Are you tired of browser-based games that are thinly veiled interfaces for databases? Finally, there's a game that just is a database!
THRILL as you insert your very own row in the "rows" table!
With careful selection of SQL queries, you will soon have three or even four-digit numbers in some of the fields in your row! Other queries may allow you to use those numbers to subtract numbers from rows entered by other players -- all while pushing the numbers in your own row even higher! "
