It's not the volts that hurt, it's the current. For example you can take static electric shocks of several hundred volts (enough to kill electronic equipment) without noticing, because they have almost no current.
If you want to complain about a dime just be glad the British got rid of their system...
12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound. Non-decimal! Too bad they didn't make a 16 somethings in a something, or else British geeks would be well on their way to learning hexadecimal....
You might have been able to remember that, but add in crowns, guineas, ha'pennies, florins, crowns, farthings, sixpence, thruppence, tuppence, angels, and more, all of which Britain has had at varying times, until 1971 when they made it sensible.
Are you so sure? Depending on various circumstances, you might find that a little while after you get to 127 or 32767 (or thereabouts) i+1 has become i...
For some reason some space simulators have a trend of, I guess, getting this more or less right.
Independence War I - You are male but you have very little character development so all it really affects is the voice when your character narrates. The engineer on your ship, one of the main characters, is a woman and some one-mission characters are women. (example: A scientist who you help survey a newly opened system.) You hear their voices or see a grainy video of the engineer, nothing sexual.
Independence War II - You are male again and your character is developed very much. Two of the main characters on your ship are women. They work your turrets and the fighters that are docked onto your ship. They may or may not have some sort of prison-dyke (literally, you start the game breaking out of prison) relationship going on, but it's rather subtle. You see them in cutscenes and stuff and it's not very sexual.
X-Wing Alliance - You are male and your character gets some development. One of the main characters is your sister. You only see her if I remember correctly inside a spacesuit. Some of the rebel pilots flying with you will be female, you only hear their voices.
Freespace 2 - Your character could be anything. Some of the people flying with you and the captains of a few ships are female. You might see grainy green comms video of them.
The guy was saying that the US had lost the war and ranting about chemical warfare pencils and bullshit like that. The US media might not be reliable, but neither is the Iraqi propaganda minister.

Project a double image HUD, so that they combine with your unfocused eyes to look like one HUD.

SPOILER WARNING!!!
But in case you wondered, you eventually meet up some scientists and they set one of the teleporters to an SUV on the surface. You escape.

You can fix that problem with a little bit of wire or software that comes with some sound cards.

I basically tried to set up my roommates as friends who got along well and they started making out and sleeping in the same bed.
That game is shit, though, I got bored of it after a day.

I visited their site previously and they did have that sort of magic BS. Very expensive, too, if I remember correctly.
