It's not only about not getting hit. Like you said, anyone can do that.
But not anyone can (without lots of practice, thinking and planning) make new records.
The previous timeattack movie at Zelda was about 31 minutes. It was done the same way as this one. It featured nearperfect fighting, like this does too. So why is this movie shorter than that?
Find out.
The answer is out there.
On my site, I use referrer information for development purposes.
- Search engines:
When I see what people have tried to search, and I can modify my pages so that they are easier to find (instead of getting lost with pages that have almost nothing to do with the thing being searched for).
I can also focus on developing pages about most searched topics.
Mere "hits" don't tell what the user *wanted* to find. Referrer is important.
- Links:
It's very interesting to see where in the world are links to my pages. Discussion boards, web diaries and software collections have links to my writings and programs, and it's good to get to review what kind of context my pages are being referred in.
In my opinion, people, who hide the referrer information, are antisocial in the point of web development. I really hope this information hiding behavior doesn't spread.
Sometimes the download rates with BitTorrent are sucking, but what is really excellent is this: When you are downloading something via one way, a website for example, and your wget gets terminated or the file appears to be damaged or anything -- no matter what you _were_ downloading with, you can always resume it with BitTorrent. BitTorrent ensures the resulting file will always be complete, but it won't redownload what you already have.

The process can be chained. The cat knows whether she lives, yes. The observer gets to know whether the cat lives, yes. But for the boss, who still hasn't heard about the results, the cat is still both alive/dead, and the scientist is still both having seen a dead cat and an alive cat.
Now as people have already noticed, it isn't very clearly defined what is "observing".
I think it's very safe to put the upper limit at light speed: Things that have happened after the latest information you could have possibly received (top speed for information is light speed) can be said to have happened all ways possible at the same time. When information reaches from the event to the observing point, the event must have a determinate state.
For me, this is just filosophical crap though. It's just another excuse to close your eyes from inconvenient things: Bad things don't happen if you don't see them.
In the 2.5D engine of Duke Nukem 3D, I especially loved the way they implemented the possibility of stairs.
The game allows overlapping sectors on the 2D map, as long as there's no visual path between them. The overlapping sectors usually are in different layers (i.e. one is downstairs, one is somewhat above it), but it's not a requirement: they can be flat too. This enables some nice scenes that are unfortunately impossible in real life (and in Doom), like: - Having a small closet in a room, and when you enter the closet, you find out that the inside of the closet is bigger than the room it is in. - Building that has different interiors, depending on which side you enter it in. - Windows which show outside world completely different than what you saw before you entered the building...
Their implementation of lifts and underwater scenes was not so nice, but it worked, overcoming something Doom didn't. (Lifts and water surfaces work as teleports.)

I'll keep them there for some hours, depending on the load induced to my puny 384 kb/s (<48 kB/s) bandwidth.
So far it seems though that the actual site is enduring pretty good too.

Its mass actually doesn't increase. It doesn't begin to wade deeper in the space creating a larger gravity dent. It only has some more kinetic energy when it's moving faster. This energy can be thought as mass (I actually don't know what benefits does that bring), but it isn't mass.
Because DOSEmu doesn't emulate the x86 cpu. DOS programs in DOSemu run in the native cpu in vm86 mode. It doesn't work in anything else than in x86 cpu.
Playing copyrighted music in public place has always (years at least) been (in Finland) like this: Play, pay.
Your room or your office is not a public place. You don't need to pay for playing there, even if somebody is listening. If you removed the walls and played so that the music is heard on streets, it might be different...
This isn't so simple thing though. According to the news, the question was battled for about five years. Taxidrivers apparently lost the battle.
I'm running Mozilla on my 233 MHz laptop and I can play mp3s too. The music only cuts when I switch virtual desktops or move windows, but Mozilla doesn't cut it. Mozilla isn't that heavy.
I believe a blind could learn to play tetris. This is because of my personal experience: when I've been playing tetris a lot, I start knowing the field without actually watching at it. And because it's possible to recognize the block by sound, as I've seen in a tetris championship finals video.
I've always been interested of the possibility of using the computer (for chat etc) with eyes closed. Or at least since the display of my previous laptop broke:)

(also more NES videos).
It all depends on what you mean by "fake".
The videos are exactly what they promise to be, so in that sense they are very real.
But you're also bound to get something unuseful or something that kills the "useful" entity at least billion-1 times.
According to Finnish online newspaper ITviikko, EU accepted the directive with a few (~200) changes.
364 voted "yes", 153 voted "no" and 33 voted void.
It's left to be seen what are those changes.
So now we have new SNES game translations.

There are screenshots of both.

As for rm/ram/mov, well... they suck anyway.

I think injecting just about anything to mice can kill them the same way. This isn't quite a proof...
