"Professional Gamer?" What, they are state licensed?
But seriously, with all that press coverage, and repetitive stress injuries, expect to see PG's form basic organizational structures, like unions, licensing boards, nickname boards!, and stuff, before developers/computer programmers ever develop just one of those.. sheesh!

Shut up asshole. To you and your deaf friends at deaf schools, you are special and deafness is representative in probably 50% of the people you interact with.
News: most people don't see or interact with deaf people. If they choose to do so, why can't they practice their sign language skills?
You try to act superior by putting up the "I am more worldly than you, a sheltered being" and "I am a victim" cards, but you have to learn to shut up about both of those.
Deafness is YOUR problem, not other peoples. You should be trying to reach the level of normal people, instead of expecting society to bring themselves down to your level. You are the wonder, not society.
I am not blaming you, but I hope you see reality so that you can make progress towards treating and respecting people without a 'holier-than-thou' attitude. You are a total stranger to me, and I just gave you 10 minutes of my time. Please don't disregard it.
It was as simple as changing the trailing l to a capital i. The domain name was PayPai (capital i to make it look like an L)-- PayPaI.com. It looked similar to PayPal.com in IE's font for the address bar. I believe it looked nearly identical in many e-mail clients though (so the fraudulent link in the e-mail lpassed the glance expection), since there are many common fonts that show those two letters nearly identical to each other.
BTW, notice how a capital I is the only character in the AddressBar font that is serif? All other characters (and all lowercase characters) are sans-serif. I wonder why they changed that.....;)
A study I read on msn.com said that colon cancer is not a concern in 3rd world countries, while in the united states it is one of the biggest killers. Maybe it's because we have the technology to detect colon cancer, while people of 3rd world countries would just die of "natural causes" if it was colon cancer. However, the study suggested that in 3rd world countries, diarrhea is a regular thing and that could cause intestinal cleansing that keeps colon cancer from happening, while in the United States, diarrhea is rare. Another argument is that germs in diarrhea interact with the linings and make them more resistant to sickness. Your question was quite appropriate.
Instead of worrying about how hard you work (thus how many calories you burn), you're worried about the wrong things.
1) Varying your cardio machines 2) The time to reach on each piece of machine
Yes, those two are unimportant, but what really matters is 1) HOW HARD YOU WORK YOUR BODY, 2) HOW OFTEN YOU WORK YOUR BODY HARD. When you run, don't worry about how long you run for. Just run and make sure you work hard. And if you are busy the next day, then run for twenty minutes. EACH GOOD CARDIO SESSION OF EVEN 10 MINUTES TWICE A DAY GIVES YOUR METABOLISM A KICK IN THE NUTS AND MAKES IT CRY CALORIES.
How hard should one run? If you don't feel an energy boost and happy after running, then you are limiting yourself and running way below the pace you should be. Running should be a CARDIO EXERCISE, as in "your body gets pumped" and the "blood gets moving" and you feel the energy that helps you have a great day, never mind the fat loss. It is this energy that you should be feeling that motivates those successful dieters to stay on the track--since they are really doing it too feel good. Since you were unsuccessful, and clearly did not feel good after each run since otherwise you would have been addicted to the "high" you get and lost many pounds, I don't think you ran as hard as your body needed to get blood flowing. Two things that support my theory that you didn't are that you think varying cardio machines was what you needed to do (uh no, that's in working out muscles, you want to work out different muscles and thus use different machines), and that you worry about the number of minutes you make a treadmill move, instead of the the pace you make your heart move. All three things show why you failed, which is not the fault of thousands of years that show activity makes people thinner, and you are no exception.
When an object moves in front of our eyes or on the screen, yeah we might not need 100 frames per second. Move your outstretched hand left to right really fast in front of your eyes, and you will notice that you see a blurr of a mix of colors. This is what you guys keep talking about. Well, you guys are WRONG for focusing on the WRONG thing.
What you guys are talking about is MOVEMENT, but you should be talking about EYE SCANNING. Yes, our eyes aren't fast enough to see individual frames of fast movement very well, but that is irrelevant. WHAT MATTERS IS WHEN YOU ARE *NOT* MOVING but instead only USING YOUR EYES to look around you. AHA! Here is where you understand my point. Although eyes can't separate frames of fast movement, *when our eyes are the ones moving, we can.* We have a big peripheral vision and we use our eyes to look around, while the big picture of what's in front of us remains the same, causing no frame difference. But on the computer screen, you have NO peripheral vision, so when you turn your character, it's as if his eyes are fixed to the center and you have to turn your NECK to look around, thus causing movement. And with movement, comes the price. If you have a sensitive mouse and you move it up quick, that might last 1/6th of a second. That means in that time, there were updates 6 times. Your eyes can definitely see the difference OF a 17" VIEW MOVING from point a to point b. There is nothing wrong with that, but motion blur needs to exist to make this real.
However, if the screen was infinitely tall and wide to fill up your peripheral vision, you could just use your eyes to look around your peripheral vision isntead of having to MOVE the character's head. Of course, games don't allow peripheral vision, as if you buy a bigger LCD you will only get the same exact image, just scaled bigger. What games need to do is simulate peripheral vision so that on the bottom of the screen, you can see your legs as if you were looking down with peripheral vision. On the top inch of the screen should be displayed what is almost at the top of you, as if you were using peripheral vision to look up. the left inch should try to simulate what you would see if you moved your eyes left, like any monsters coming at you from the left. That way, the world won't be a flat PHOTOGRAPH of the camera, but a simulated person's view of a world in peripheral vision, with everything a normal person would see be somehow displayed on the monitor like I said. Maybe by trying to draw a curved sphere of vision or something.
It is standard practice that when submitting a request for public or declassified information from state and federal government agencies under the Freedom of Information Act, the angency must reply within 10 days. (The agency might also request a reasonable fee to accomodate researching and sending the information.) Of course, if 10 days expires, what do you do? Of course you "sue" the agency. Not "sue" in financial terms, but "sue" as in "bring this in front of the court to get a court order to release this information." And the government will not have to pay a penny to Sci-Fi, since all the court order will ask for is the release of the information. Simple as that.
Actually, many times agencies are not smart enough to even know about the FIA, and thus can easily use the incompetence excuse or "I never got it" even though you sent your request and have a proof of receipt that they did get it. Geez...
Why is it stupid? I used to drive a late 80's model american/asian car that hasn't been made for a long time (figure it out) in America, and I had to crunch my body in it and ruin my posture. Why is it stupid that there are cars now built for taller people? Although only 4% of men and 2% percent of women are above six foot tall (or something similar), a car for US is great--thank you alerting me about the dodge viper.
I read that when a study was done of military officers, those in higher promotions had that sharp jaw, military look. It seems people with rounded faces have a much harder place in becoming leaders, and I think face shape is as influencial as height. Supposedly, your face shape could predict where you end up in rank.
The shortest 0.5 % of girls and boys in their preteens (for guys, those who are predicted to be about 4 foot tall in adulthood and their parents are short) can take a hormone pill (or was it a shot?) once or twice every week for a few years to gain about two more inches when they grow up. This is expensive and has possible side effects and only offered for the group above.
I think you could also get 3 inches for free just by eating lots of cereal and milk every day, since milk can contain cow puss and cows get growth hormone, some of which makes it into our digestive system.
The correct statistic is that Americans on average spend more hours at work than employees of any other country do, on average.
I don't know what that has to do with productivity or what other statistic you were referring to. Maybe you even took the notion that since America has many self-made billionaires, then money-wise that's "productive" all across the board. Wrong.

Where did you these people are?
So where do I get my Windows 2000 disc under this program?
Without viruses, many Hospital employees would be obsolete!
yeah, humans will fly.. when pigs fly lol. Hahaha! HELL, humans will fly when SUVS can fly@@! LOL.
