    "The method has already renewed speculation about the importance of water to city development. Surprisingly, this study found that a handful of sites are unexpectedly large given that they are not located near rivers or in areas of high precipitation. “The settlement known as Tell Brak, for example, is far too large for what one would expect at such a marginal position,” says Ur. “This is where things get interesting.” I know no one does actually RTFA but here you go so you understand what was actually meant.

  3. for training hunters? on Camera Gun Would Let Hunters Get Killer Wildlife Shots · · Score: 1

    I always thought the target range was where you trained. I do not see how taking a picture of my target is more helpful than knowing how the gun feels when it actually goes off recoils etc ...

  8. Re:Old on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 1

    It's not about losing everything. Being able to die is not required to be qualified as a game in my book. But some form of failure is.

    In WoW, you can never fail at anything. You can always try again, without being set back at all. In EVE at least people can steal your stuff when your ship is destroyed. This makes you want to prevent being destroyed. In WoW nobody cares if their character dies, because it has no consequence.

    there are consequences just minor but it does set you back, also your line about not failing in wow because you can "try again" if you have to try again.. you failed the first time you tried.

    99% of your options are hideously ugly, the remaining 1% is spread so thin that the chances of actually being able to make a character both look vaguely like you want it to and not be ugly is pretty-much nil 99% ugly and 1% decent looking, yep! sounds like the real world.

  17. Re:A good combination of a storyline and graphics. on What's the Importance of Graphics In Video Games? · · Score: 1

    as someone that plays both sports and computer games I would say that both of them take you out of your current reality in some way. I can think of many times where my day was crappy but a track meet or a football game the concentration and effort required the act and react of the game or race made me forget about my day. Never once in the middle of a race do I remember thinking God that ass at the coffee shop this morning short changed me and didn't even get my order right. so I would say chess, poker, basketball football or anything the like does take you "beyond your current reality!"

    he did not say that it was a cure all he said that it helps because the body is indeed very good at healing itself. yes a decent diet, moderate exercise, and a positive attitude will not cure everything but for a minor illness or pains there is a good chuck of times that with rest water a good diet and rehab in right way you will heal up just fine.
