End Of The World?

People all across the internet are asking "Is this the end of the world as we know it?" 

The website NZBMatrix has been taken down.  The website was the home that many downloaders of illegal matter from the internet would go to select their movies or their TV Shows for download!  And just suddenly, from out of nowhere it has shut down.

Threads on the local chat forum Whirlpool are up in arms over this!  There is page after page of people asking, "What am I going to do ..... NZBMatrix has gone?"

Much of the hassle is being caused by the authorities in the US clamping down on illegal downloads.  What usually happens is that when one website closes down, within a few weeks another is up to take its place.

So the sun will rise again tomorrow and everything will go on none the less.  The world won't end, we'll just have to find our illegal downloads another way!

(I already have!)

The new AV Receiver had a small hiccup last night, nothing that was unmanageable.  I had a setting in the media player which sent a message to the TV that whenever the media player was turned on that the TV should automatically turn itself on as well.  I set this up on the chance that by the two devices 'talking to each other' that the better digital sound from the media player would pass through the TV to the old AV Receiver I had.  It didn't work.

And when I turned the media player off, the TV would turn itself off as well.  This option didn't work previously but now did with the new AV Receiver.

I changed the setting in the media player back to what it had been previously and now everything works fine.

A warmish day in the high 20's.  There could be a shower of rain later.  We need the shower of rain desperately.
