    Yep. I do the same for games. I'm not a huge gamer, but do like to play once in a while. 50 bucks for a new game makes no sense. 5-15 dollars does just fine. To buy in to the latest is to be a slave to marketing.

    My wife..(yes my wife, and yes she's real flesh and blood) asked for an image of this Texas sized floating isle of junk. I can't seem to find one. The link shows a patch of junk about a squared meter in size. Any good images that I can point her to?

    This remind me of an old Star Trek episode. The fought by computer simulation, reported the simulated casualties, and then sent citizens to vaporizer chambers to make those simulated casualties real per the treaty.

    Of course Kirk convinced the girl to want to live.

    If we kept this up you'd make it down to Good Karma. YOu know, my Karma jumped between Excellent and Good about 4 times in this thread alone. I AM on the edge. ...I'm edgy. ha ha

    how ironic. I was insightful. :)

    I think you misunderstood me. I did live in Excellent land for a long time. A bit boring there. I started adding some snark..or rather I didn't tow the /. line so closely, and now I get modded down and up all the time. I've purposely struck a balance between Good and Excellent karma for interesting karma. :) Sure years of Excellent karma makes you resistant to some bad moderation, but you can't make a practice of snarky trollism without giving up a bit of karma.

    That's why I like to live on the edge of Excellent and Good Karma. I can give a good troll once in a while and still maintain my status at /.

    A better theory might focus on hypoxia/ischemia. These are known to cause brain atrophy, and seem to occur widely with cardiovascular issues. For example, people who live at high altitudes, have sleep apnea tend to have decreases in brain volume in specific regions i.e hippocampus. However the specificity of region is relative to the extent of the oxygen deprivation. In any case, older and overweight people tend to have greater cardiovascular issues. Compound with this is diabetes which does have a cumulative negative effect on brain function resulting from structural deterioration.
