Obviously, the inability to play high-quality video is the fault of the operating system, and not the processor speed, memory, or display refresh rate.
I was like almost like this when I was a teenager (I am 21 now), but, thankfully, the internet wasn't a major force for me until high school started. Because of that, in middle school, I got involved with several activities, and even sports, that allowed me seperate outlets. I ran cross country and track, and played in the school band.
My parents never had to restrict my online time, because even though I spent several hours a day, and sometimes even 8-10 hours, I was involved in other activities that got me outside, and involved me with real life friends. Granted, most of them were geeks too, but you've gotta fit somewhere.
So, my suggestion is that they only be allowed to spend as much time online as they have with other activities that don't take place in the house. It may seem like binging and purging for a while, but it balanced me out pretty well in the end.
Day/night is on a 24 hour schedule, matching the time zone that the server you're playing on is in. Although dusk does last longer than it should. You don't really see stars until about midnight.
Probably beacuse the relevant part, about Iraq, is a blanant lie: "Iraq is about to become an model of peace, democracy, and freedom."
I mean, come ON! We are nowhere NEAR getting anywhere close to finishing this thing, and it'll take at least another few years for the internal fighting to calm down and some possibility peace to finally hit that place after we do pull out.
Sometimes, to reply to a person like this, we have to go way back in our moral education to one of the first things our mothers (hopefully) told us when we were young: "Two wrongs do not make a right."
If google published all the emails that go through gmail.com on an unindexed website, and microsoft made a tool to search it easily, I would blame google for the privacy invasion.
Sorry, bucko, but marginal cost is the cost to produce each additional copy. For software, that's the price of a cardboard box and a small plastic disc.
If they're going to set records with this release, then they need time to manufacture more discs than have ever been sold upon release before... they're probably already pushing it to print and ship that many in only a month.
I'm not too well travelled when it comes to MMOs, but I've had at least a few minutes in a few of them. Anyway, here's what I thought of the stress test:
Graphics: What graphics? No graphics, just art. Lots of really beautiful art. Sound: Music is just enough to keep you excited without noticing it too much. A lot like Warcraft 3's in most places, but that's to be expected. Sound effects are pretty standard, but not bad by any count. Quests: Perfect. This game really got the quest system down. Everyone's said a lot about it, and you can learn about it on their site if you want details, but know that it is Good. Immersion: Between the above qualities and all the little touches that should up everywhere, it's pretty easy to get caught up in the world. I'd say the only thing you need to do to help this is to quit the general chat, as there is a lot of newbie questions and repetition in there.
Out of all the MMOs I've at least seen, or tried, this is honestly the only one I could consider paying for. Not to say that I won't be one of the first on this Open Beta once they start it, of course.
The "pretty darn impressive" examples given are GIMP under Windows and Quake 3 on Mac. Both of those have completely native versions available. I smell something not quite honest about these demos.
This practice of prostitution sting is perfectly legal. The catch is, if the buyer asks whether she's a cop, she has to tell the truth. Only if she lies does it become illegal. (It's called "entrapment")
There are 12 episodes of HHG radio so far: 1-6 - Series 1 - includes destruction of earth through return to prehistoric earth with the Golgafrinchans. 7 - Christmas special - Sort of a "Hey, we're back" epsiode transitioning into the second series. 8-12 - Series 2 - Frogstar to the real leader of the Galaxy, and a lot of places in between that never made it to print.
Oh, and Trillian was carried off and forcibly married to someone-or-other.

Exactly who are you trying to convince?

The first result at google for "learn go" was the one I always considered best for getting the basics down, and a small start into intermediate:
But it's too bad that our phones will get to enter the third life before we will.

Just remember, taking pictures and speaking your opinion could make any american a potential terrorist too. Still think we should kill them all?

Agreed. But no matter how much I do like it it's bound to be better than the current system most PDAs use.
I can't see myself memorizing too many words over 5 letters though, even after repeated use. They tend to just look like random scribbling.

You're thinking of overhead costs.

If the locks on your car doors fell off, you'd hire a mechanic to install new ones, right? Convince them they need to do the same.

Any and all new Star Wars content should be scrictly limited to an NJO (mini?)series.
You might try here.

Actually, it's based on Mach, a distro that Jobs abandoned 10 years ago to create his own OS, and eventually came back to
