    My sister was in Benin a few weeks ago and she learned stuff about their shamanistic rituals and "levels".
    (she looked at another canadian friend there and said the words "D&D" with a smile.

    She asked a bunch of questions, and wanted to know if there was a maximum level they could get.

    When she told me that the maximum level they could be in their system is 41, I was almost crying.
    So 42 IS the answer.

    Actually, there might be. I remember the kung-fu/string puppets game by Lionhead studios was played using 7-8 mice, so there might be some easy way to do it.

    I'm sure someone on /. can enlighten us..

    And since I can reach the control/shift/enter/backslash/backspace keys from the same position, I'm all set.

    The real solution is that you need to turn the mouse inside out, just like the "two left gloves" trick.

    Instead of clicking a button to give food to your pet, you can click a button to debit a micropayment on your cell phone account/credit card and give your electronic significant other some virtual gadget that will make her happy/feed her/spank her.

    So at the end of her "virtual" life, you'll see how much she cost you.

    Yes. FunHi
    here's an opinion. (I'm still too speechless from seeing the site the first time to form an opinion about it. I'm still at the "banging head on monitor repeatedly" stage)

    There is a gift store, which allows people to buy gifts for people they like. Which mostly means that guys will try to attract the attention of the girls who've uploaded the most enjoyable bikini pictures. The gifts are simply a small GIF file with a picture of something. Like flowers or a private jet. The gifts start at 1 cent. And there's nothing wrong with the gifts that cost 1 or 5 cents. But, somehow, the social dynamic of showing a list of who gave what gifts to what person, and them being listed in reverse price order, means that some people will be very motivated to buy the expensive gifts. Like the $14.99 jet plane or the $30 credit card. Remember, they're just GIF pictures. You don't even download them. And, remember, you pay for them with a real credit card.
