Sitting down on the sofa is different then sitting by a computer. Even the activities are different. I would like to see the study geered towards office workers who sit all day.
For me, it's the total difference in attitude. Back then, I was a kid with no disposable income to spare. Your parents rented you some games from the video store for the weekend and you played the hell out of them. Very seldom did you get the exact games of your choice, so you learned to just deal with what you got. It didn't matter of they were clunky or poorly designed, or if the music was no better than 8-bit blips composed by someone totally tone-deaf who figured the NES's "noise" channel was a substitute for any instrumentation; you were on a holy mission to beat the game(s) within the rental period. Eventually, you even acquired a taste for some of the crappier ones that would later manifest as nostalgia. You'd give anything, any genre a chance.
Dude. its so true. The weekend mission was to beat the game before you brought it back. Ahh those were the good days. can you even rent games anymore?
This is kinda interesting from the link you mentioned (http://www.answers.com/topic/instant-coffee-1)
The manufacture of instant coffee begins with brewing coffee in highly efficient extraction equipment. Softened water is passed through a series of five to eight columns of ground coffee beans. The water first passes through several "hot" cells (284-356F, or 140-180C), at least some of which operate at higher-than-atmospheric pressure, for extraction of difficult components like carbohydrates. It then passes through two or more "cold" cells (about 212F, or 100C) for extraction of the more flavorful elements. The extract is passed through a heat exchanger to cool it to about 40F (5C). By the end of this cycle, the coffee extract contains 20-30% solids.
The problem I see here is the xp modifiers. When you can give another guy more advantage in a game because he pays more money is just wrong. When you hit the online playing field in these types of games everyone is equal from the beginning. Now it will be the rich kid who has the advantage.
I like what Battlefield Heroes is doing. Free game (not released yet) but you can buy outfits and other stuff like that. BUT you dont get any advantage in the game. ImperialAges is another game that is browser based that I am playing right now. Free game and you can buy the VIP package but it will not give you an advantage in any way.
Well lets look at history. Wind 98 needed more powerful Computer to run it after windows 95 windows xp needed more a powerful Computer to run it after windows 98 Vista... well I think we all know what we think of vista. But generally we would have thought you would need a better computer to run vista. Its just all the bugs.
So now if Windows 7 Has more features, is stable and as bug free as any version of windows can be, and offers the same performance as vista.
It might actually have good perfomance when running on a low end machine at the time of its release.
So why don't these companies start using P2P technology. Keep network trafic within the networks. There is some new music listening (legal) software that I have seen recently supported by adds and stuff and I looked into the technology behind it. Apparently it caches some of the users files on their computer and shares them with other users listening to the same songs. Exactly the same type of technology as torrents.
So basically if your neighbor has recently watched the same movie as you are watching now. The file does not have to travel so far. Just within the area network.
Of course we would have to trust these companies with software on our computers but thats a different story.
I dunno if that makes sense to anyone but it makes sense to me. The way we are using the networks is very inefficient.
I agree. I played the game for maybe 4 hours. Got board. Found another game. As you said. the artwork and graphics were cool. I would even say the storyline was interesting. But something just did not click together and make the game Great. Something was missing in the gameplay.
Its like what happened in Sweden in the wire tapping law. Zero Support for the law and alot of protest. I cant wait to see how many votes the current government will get next election.
I would say the majority of the public does not want this. So where is the democracy. How can they let this kind of law pass. Basically everything Sweden has standed for in the past has gone down the drain in one day. *rant* *rant* Yet another reason for companies to move out of sweden. *rant* *rant*. It makes me so angry.
Sec. I hear someone knocking on the door.
Comforts like well-padded seats, and sound insulation that keep noise down, also result in increased weight. Who wants to keep the sound down. Crank it up dude!!!!!!
Looks like its gonna spread like wild fire. See this article about pirate bay.

Is this the end of public torrent sites.
So what if you are at work and you log into your gmail or other 3rd party email? Should the bosses be able to read that too? People should use there work email for work and personal email for personal reasons.
I dunno. I believe that a happy employee is a better worker. And mutual respect is very important. But I guess this topic is about security and that is also very important. Where do you draw the line on security? Its just like the government. Is putting everyone in the world on total survailance the answer to fighting terrorism?
What GH have you been playing? If you try to play notes when you are not supposed to, all you get is a generic *twang* noise to indicate you misplayed. You cannot freestyle in GH.
And if I were to define a insrument, I would define it as something that you can freestlye in. An instrument is something you can create music from. Not imitate and *twang* noises. I cannot see how this can violate this patent.
guitar hero is a great game. Im currently working on finishing the hard career.
I look at Wikipedia as another type of Media. And this media is controled by the poeple and not some government that is trying to control what people get to hear see and read. Im all for encompassing every aspect of human knowledge because if it is not controlled by some organization that will probably be bias in one form or another.
Think of a country as a system. Or even perhaps the whole world. Who is running the system. The Government??? perhaps. Large Corporations?? perhaps. Or maybe it is many things. Maybe the system is so complex that it runs itself and is out of control.
I believe that what is fucking everything up for everyone is greedy individuals, greedy governments, and greedy corporations and everybody else who just does not care about the average Joe. If the average public opinion mattered, things may be a bit different.
yes because you choose to use google but when all the ISP's do it you do not have a choice. It just feels like an ISP is like spying on you. I dunno. It just doesn't feel right.

Its sooo sick. what is this world comming too.
There's a theory that people can read words correctly just as long as the first and last letters are correct.
On that basis.. anybody else read the headline as "Scouts To Hear Small ISPs' Case Against AT&T"?
