Science and Tech:
A sensitive topic here. According to"THE ECONOMIST", religeon has various patterns that make it appear to be more like a disease than anything. The main similarity is the occurence of religeon in various countries spreading and appearing similar to viruses. there is less than one chance in 10,000 that be it disease or religeon "infects" a person is accidental. in non urban societies, religeously diverse places have lesser people mixing around and more anti social behaviour towards each other, unlike religeously monotonus societies. the idea is that religeous diversity causes people to gary(i.e keep to themselves) and thus makes it harder to catch "germs" than if they were to mix.
of course, correation is not causation. but religeon is not the only cultural phenomenon that stops groups of people from mixing. Language had a similar effect too. However, it was found out that people with Xenophobia hare afraid due to fear of getting dises from "that dirty foreigner". hence, it can be implied that because of the fear of "diseases" like religeon, that people stay away from each other, much like isolation of diseases.
Due to some of the difficult to replace words in the original text in the economist, this artuicle has some more cmplicated words so here's a Language help:
Occurance- how often something appears
Xenophobia- to be afraid of people from different races
Isolation- to leave alone
NOTE: these meanings were thought up by me and hence, wont be very accurate check that bloody dictionary!
Prog: Back to the ss "GANTZ mod: since im not going to post anymore, im just going to make a number of steps of what you can do to modify stick soldiers
Using microsoft paint, you can make a pixelated picture of your weapons. you can then save it as a .BMP or .JPEG file. however, unlike .GIFs, .JPEG and .BMP files do not have invisible portions and hence, your stick soldier would most likely be holding a square picture. here's where the .TGA converter works. .TGA is similar to .GIF files, except must smaller and easier to load. you have to combine two pictures to obtain a .TGA File with a converter. firstly, make a picture of the weapon. save the file. save a second copy as an "alpha" the main purpose of having an "alpha" is for the converter to actually recognise which part of the picture are supposed to be opaque and which part to be transparent. in my case, the opaque portion is red and the background (ie the invisible part) is black. just upload the two files, both the originhal and the alpha to the tga converter and you've got a .TGA image that you can use in the game.
to open up the programming portion of the files, look for a file named "ssweap" "ssnd" and "sgfx" these are the files for your weapon configuration, sound and graphics, respectively. learn the simple code which is too long to explain here, and you'll be albe to make your own weapons in time.
map editors are easy enough to be found online, and easy enough to operate, so go bloody find one and dl it.

Anime review: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya follows the high school life of Haruhi Suzumiya, a young and very active high school girl, and those who are caught up in her antics. While Haruhi is the central character to the plot, the story is told from the point of view of Kyon, one of Haruhi\'s classmates. Kyon is an ordinary freshman high school student who has recently given up his fantasies of espers, time travelers, and aliens as he left middle school. When he chooses to speak to Haruhi, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events which drag him into surreal situations; he is drawn further into a world eerily like the fantasies he had just managed to outgrow, with Haruhi at its center.

ART: now, basically, to change the background, unless you have photoshop or any other good photo editor, there is no short cut. simply colour the background a particular colour.you can remove the background with the "transparent colour" tool in most other simple photo editor programmes. save it as a GIF file to get an invisi bg.
to get the font, visit dafont.com or any other font side, unzip your file and put it in wondows>fonts, and click yes when promted to install. its that easy!
no merchandise, and no FYIs but no one sees those anyways so its fine.
and finally a tribute: to de- oops. i mean mun theng
