It's about the changing state of your physical body. Yawning aids in the relaxation of your physical and emotional state, preparing it for the nights sleep, or when you wake up.
Ever had a morning or night right before bed when you didn't yawn?
Yes, this is why. O2 count has nothing to do with it. It's been medically proven.:)
before you mod me down, really read this post because it fits a theme I've been noticing lately.
Ever notice how everyone tries to be the enforcer? Corperations, media mogules, senators and even your local legislators? It seems these days people want to be in charge, or the authority trying for a power grab they can't achieve and throwing in some new speak to throw off the commoner who isn't educated enough to know the difference between REAL authority and a scam or fake.
Subject New Idea.. need opinions! Reply to this message Posted by borg357 Posted on 01/07/03 02:28 PM
Hello Everyone! Some of you know me, some may not. My name is Richard and I work at a company called HanaHo Games (www.hanaho.com), where I'm a product developer. Over the years, we've created some kewl emulation products like the HotRod Joystick and the ArcadePC among other things..
I wanta drop the ball on something here, and I need some honest opinions. Over the years at HanaHo, we've gained allot of experience in creating our own embedded PCB's for use in Coin-op markets, and we also have experience in marketing, as well as some really good contacts with various partnerships in the real coin-op business.
What would you guys think about a console based gaming system (embedded hardware unit) for use for emulation? This would be an incredibly ambitious project, as we would be facing some huge obstacles! But I've been kicking this idea around for a while now.. and here's some details:
A stand alone game system, that's about the size of an X-box or PS2. It would have the ability to plug in USB game pads, HotRod, X-arcade, Slickstick, or home made joystick keyboard hacks. It would also be able to plug in to a TV or a VGA monitor, as well as direct sound output, and Network support built in. The base system, would simply boot up (within seconds), and play MAME. There would be an optional hard drive, but contain a DVD-ROM player for the games to load.
With our experience in embedded products, I feel that we could launch such a project, as an alternative to "hacking" an x-box or ps2 to play MAME. Emulation would be the main purpose for this console unit, however, it would be very similar to the way the X-Box works, in fact, given today's chip prices, we might even be able to create something even more powerful than an X-Box.
The OS would be embedded into the boot-up of the console, and we would have to reply on a team of people, working with, and creating a MAME version for this unit.
The target price I'm shooting for would be $200-300, and we would of course bundle this with as many ROMS as we can get the rights too.
There would also be some added bonuses here too.. First off, creating our own game system would solve a lot of ROM licensing issues, and also create and help legitimize MAME, while still keeping MAME as a grass roots movement. The only way this major gamble would work is to have the support of the MAME community. We know very well, that the market is now saturated with consoles and titles by some heavy hitters, but we're NOT after the same market of newer games. In fact, while microsoft is busy sueing everyone offering mod chips, we would fully embrace hacks in our system. This system, unlike X-Box or GameCube, or PS2 would be very very useful in "home-brew" arcade units, as well as the engine in our own line of cabinets we sell. It might even be a significant cost savings as a PC is actually a bit of an overkill for a MAME machine.
Take a moment.. think about it. tell me what you think..
it would have disrupted the time line if anyone or the technology was caught... send them back naked and people will think they're crazy. send them with gobs of weapons will attract the national guard

he probably was encased into a flesh bubble, then shedded the skin when he arrived. as for the sending a nuke or 300 terminators back, they didn't want to disrupt the timeline entirely. it might have threatened the terminators alltogether..
It's sort of an outrage denying the full article text to the jurors to determine for themselves what is and isn't important (as what a jury is for) but at the same time since when does US Law stretch beyond the borders of this country? Ok, the internet is not much of a grey area here, but it was a Russian company doing things that were not illegal in Russia. If I or my company did something that was against Russian law, would I be arrested and put on trial or would the USA laugh at them (much like the Russians should have done!) ?
finally someone else says it. there is no such thing as moral and immoral in technology. I can't believe this either, that/.ers are so uneducated in the english language yet so well versed in code and byte. No wonder no one listens to us, when all our rants are "MS must die" and "You suck".
sounds familliar, though I'm sure what I have isn't adhd or add, but it's some learning dissasociative problem the exact familiarities you described, you and I share.
difficult as hell, but after years of self contditioning (and bad spelling:P) you can learn to focus your energy on any given task, even if you pay attention to the noises in both rooms next to you and the phone next door, or your neighbors upstairs getting their funk on.
Too often these kids are over looked in the classroom and by their parents as being "under-par" by their own analysis because the kids aren't understood, when in fact they're almost always superior in intelligence.
ADHD and learning disabled childeren usually have a very short attention span when it comes to things that do not entertain/challenge/interest them whatsoever. Socially they may suffer a few years behind the crowd (we all hate crowds right?)
one of the things you can do, is find something that interests/challenges her/him to his or her own liking, then build on it. Use that when they are younger (while exploring other options and ideas they are interested in) you catch their idea and sort of mix it in with other things you want to teach them or have them learn about on their own.
For me, it was the computer. If it didn't include my old c128, 8088 or amiga it wasn't worth it. But being preteen, having a strong interest in any area of life with little interest in anything else, AND teachers/parents not understanding it can stunt development of a child.
