If you studied music seriously you would know Bach used Fibonacci in many of his pieces. Most notable the Well Tempered Clavier, Composers have been using it for hundred of years.
If The DS is irrelevant how come in Japan DS titles are in the top 10 in sales. The #1 game in Japan is a DS game. Being an armchair marketer isn't a strength here.
Winning Eleven far surpasses anything FIFA tries to do. No one in the states will play winning eleven because konami does't market it. Also, just because FIFA has 3 million teams doesn't mean its better. FIFA can make all the changes it wants to their series, but it is more an arcade soccer game than Winning Eleven, which is simulation.
I'm curious to see what new features.mac will do to keep their user base at this point. It seems they are slowly rolling out new features nobody cares about like more icards, but if they double my homepage space i would be happy.
The common complaint agaisnt Ninja Gaiden is its difficulty. I really do not see the difficulity. I believe gamers might find it difficult is because they do not use useful tactics to beat the enemies. Mashing buttons and just killing everything that moves is not a useful tactic. If you actually use counters and the soul charge move so you can kill enemies in chains( the move the first boss explains to you) you should not have that much of a problem. Also, learning how to use the weapons and when to use them. Also, if u upgrade your wooden sword to the unlabored flawlessness, the game is even easier.
THe key to tackling games is to actully think about what u are doing and dont button mash and let the stylish moves make you think u have to do them. Espically in Ninja Gaiden, u can use about 5 moves and finish the game.

When you get to the last level you get so big that u can roll over clouds and gods. THe soundtrack is very catchy and is available online at various places. The game can be beaten in a few hours though, but the replay value is in getting better at certain objectives such as getting a bear for a constellation. You can get any bear, but u want to get the big bear; however the whole stage is filled with bears. You also get presents.
If you do believe that there is no creativity in games just import.
For example, try out Katamari Damashii.
It is a new PS2 game from namco and you roll a ball over objects to get bigger and bigger because god destroyed all the stars and you have to get them back.
I use an old lexmark E210 printer with osx. When i upgraded to panther, i would have to turn off and on the printer to print with ghostscript and samsung gdi printer drivers from linux printing.org. Now, everything acts normally and i dont have to turn off the printer.
When i was 6 my parents enrolled me in martial arts. It really helped me socially. I didn't have that many friends at school, but i had plenty of martial arts friends. You get a great workout and develop some discipline. If you treat it as an art and discipline and not a way to kick ass, it really has a profound effect on your life. And helps you gain confidence.
I really hope if gaming is on tv more that there are people who can play games. If you watch an hour of G4 you will experience shock on the level of gaming they display when they bust out the so called "reviews" for games. There is one show where the hosts were playing soul caliber 2 and all they did was button mash and when some1 got close enough to throw they thought they were doing something special. What should happen is they should make an update to starcade or video power so we can see people who can actually play games and not some fashionable male and females button mashing and trying to act edgy. It is pretty sad when the best show on G4 is an early 80s game show where people play zoo keeper.
I agree. I used to live in Shenzhen and everybody had a cel phone. THe migrant workers even had them. ALl of my friends who had a cel phone had theirs stolen. Cel phones are cheap and if u cant get one in china, u steal it. There are no subscription plans really so after u steal it u trade your SIM card in the phone and you have a functional phone. In the hua qiang district of shenzhen there are huge stores with only cel phones in them. Everybody thought i was strange that i didnt have a cel phone. I just didnt want to be the target of theft or have collogues calling me for no reason.
China is probably going to continue to voer up some cases, expicall y in the major ecomonic zones such as SHanghai, SHenzhen, and Beijing. If they just stopped spitting and other un sanitary things, and most importantly learn to build an apt complex that doesnt spread disease and make the building smell like feces they could get some real work done. However, its hard to break old habits. My apt had similiar piping as Amoy Gardens, when i lived in china people hocked spit like it was their job, even while running top speed to catch the bus. When i first arrived in SHenzhen last year there was already a pink eye problem in the city and in buses many people had it. If hong hong didnt get infected, who knows what might have happened.

SARS Contained
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I used to live in Shenzhen,China during the SARS outbreak. THe government hid it for most of the time, but some of my co-workers were telling me about this"flu" that was going around. As a result everyone bought vinagar and its price went up. After all the panic Hong Kong was getting the news and the people that i talked to about it, such as teachers , said that the "flu" went with the weather and went to Hong Kong and nothing to worry about. However, they were wrong. The outbreak at Amoy Gardens was from a man who lived in Shenzhen. That foreign teacher who died taught in Shenzhen. The school that I taught at had a case of it,but the people at large really didnt care. Thats how china is. WHen the newspapers finally started reporting it and Hu jintao was getting serious about it, public opinion changed, but still ignorant. My students thought i was crazy going to Hong Kong even though i had to remind them that SARS began here. However when I went to Macau, there were no cases at the time. I suppose all the STDs from the prostitutes was enough. THe chinese didnt really care or know anything about it thanks to blantant censorship and their view on life, such as the millions of migrant workers here that are expendable and such. Even when China claimed to have it under control, they found SARS in cats in resturantsat the shopping mall where i got my pirated GBA games.
It is illegal regardless of the number because the numbers are graffiti, they are posted over everything and on any surface is written on here in China. Also, the stickers with the numers on them are everywhere, trying to read a sign with big bright pink stickers all over them is a pain, and taking them off is impossible without tools.
Living in China's first experiment in capitalism,Shenzhen, i see these advertisments EVERYWHERE. They cover the bus route maps, they litter the walls, they are on top of advertisments, and they are written on every wall in this city. It is pathetic. On one wall i saw at least 200 numbers and advertisments, there was no description of what the number was for just a 1389292038 type of number. I thought it was for migrant workers to get work, but i guess its for more decpitive means. Spamming the numbers is a great idea because they spend money every time they answer the phone in China. Come to Hong Kong and take teh KCR over to Shenzhen to witness this eyesore.

Ordering prints form iphoto is now cheaper. 19 cents for 4x6 prints is a big deal.
This computer seems to fit the Target color scheme in their stores: lime,pink, etc.

the hong kong 10 dollar bill is the coolest bill i have ever used, it looks like its from the future and you should call it a credit.
I wish i could find a picture, i have 2 around but i dont want my webspace to be hammered.
Chinese money is also pretty colorful.
Indonesia's 100000 bill is also plastic, also is the thailand 50 baht
anything from that game
such banter as
captain america:"you will never escape"
whirlwind:"you will be the one escaping"
heh, funny u mention that tom sawyer game, that game is one of the more racist looking games ive seen
even though it was from japan you would think they would have sense to make blackk people look real instead of jim crow shit

Jobs seems to like the idea of people shitting in their pants. He mentions this twice in the article. I wish he did this on his keynotes.
"10.3 is so awesome that the shit in your pants will be a cushion for the total experience you will have with piles"
or he can flat out say
"yea IE for OS X sucks, thats why we made safari, now shit in your pants"
ok i suck
