diablo2 is good, because you don't play against anybody, unless you don't want to, it's all cooperative.
granted it's not an fps, but it's still one of the best games around.
...would you want to try and break into this field?
I mean don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but it's not like there are plenty of well paid jobs to go around as it is.
Or jobs at all for that matter.
I have two possible andswers to this really, and the first is hand movement.
When using a laptop, the keyboard is usually smalles,as in not as wide, what with smaller keys, and the lack of a keypad. This causes you to not move around as much and not slide on your wrists or forearms, like you would on a normal keyboard. Also, there might be soething to the fact that laptop keyboards are flat, as opposed to normal keyboards that are at an incline to you.
The second reason is body position.
If you spend all day in an "ergonomically correct" position, you're more likelyto ut the same kind of stress on various body parts, as opposed to moving around alot, slouching and doing stuff to change the way you sit.
I move around quite alot on my chair, and to this day, I have almost never had any kind or ergonimical problems, whereas people who try to site and type correctly have had wrist and back problems happen to them on a regular basis.
I'm not saying that you should discard everything people who work with ergonomics say, because they are probalby right on way more occasions that me whne it comes to something like this, but you need to change stuff from time to time, otherwise, it wouldn't be very much dofferent from the dronework robots do at assembly lines.
The only problems I ever have is after stuff like 18-24 hour gaming sessions, when sitting is pretyt much the only thing I do, but since those come around very rarely, and I have a crappy back to begin with, I don't worry that much.
So,a little variation in the way you sit, and the way you do things will go a long way...
In my dormroom at uu.se, I have plenty of outlets
and the are situated in good places around the room, like a 4 socket outlet on the wall next to the TP.
Look, I really don't see the problem here, evr ery day, we hear abou thow videogames affect our kids and us ourselfves, and we say that "no way, they don't", and yet, here you are, discussing the morality and whatnot of a videogame.
If videogames don't affect us in our daily lives, why should an issue like this even arise?
I already vowed never to set foot in that country, and I'm reassured in my choice every day I see stuff like this.
Is there no end to the madness?
If this bill passes, others like it will pass, and soon, everyone that has some kind of majority in any market will be exempt, and that's not good.
Pray to whatever diety you choose that this bill never passes, and that whatever dissease they have over there doesn't spread to other parts of the world.
This stuff makes almost all other worldy attrocities pale in comparison.
this is the best news I've heard in a long time.
If they do it, I'll (try) to never say a bad word about fox again.
the 3 pal dvd-boxes were some of my most used purchases.
Honestly, SCO just seems to grasp for more and more desperate measures, none of which actually do anything, and most are semi-illegal at best.
And since SCO hasn't been able to prove their case, or that they even HAVE a case, I think this is just something we can ignore, and hopefully, it'll go away.
Atleast untill SCO actually DOES something worth our collective effort.
They dont have any bite, only bark...
To the letter actually, I took the measurements and everything (we have the same case I think), and built my own.
It works very well, and keeps my AOpen hx-08 silent.
It does, however, increase heat drastically...
a link to the worklog is here (I'm referring to the design mentioned in the text, from http://www.carsten-buschmann.de/noise-protection/)
I though I had heard stupid things, and companies being litigious just for the hell of it, but this tops it all.
It like suing somebody for, well, hmm, I just cant think of anything even remotely close to this.
Suing someone for stating the obvious, thank you very much. "What, you can turn autorun OFF completely, damn, we had no idea..."
Make you wonder about the "clever" people wrote a copy protection scheme that relies on autorun...
They could have given my all that money, and I could have told them from the start that it isn't going to work, nothing is, and that they can just as well scrap the entire copy protection idea.
Not to mention they're probably breaking the "cd" standard, and still calling it a compact discs.
I wonder when pioneer (or sony or philips or whomever it is that owns the right, patent, whatever to "cd") will sue the people who cook up these horrid shemes
Right, that's the way forward, if it's not painfully obvious and right in front of you, it doesn't exist...
"Syns inte, finns inte, a-ha-ha-ha!"
And your attempt at poetry, or whatever the hell that was, cleverness perhaps, failed misserably, since you do not know how to spell.
Good night.
Hmm, I don't recall purchasing music ever being part of Ephpods features, do you?
That's because it isn't, and never was and probably never will.
Ephpods aim is to HANDLE your music on the way to and from youd iPod, nothing more.
It never claimed to be able to purchase music online.
Try not to compare apples to oranges, and our collective mental health will be alot better off.
Look, you're free to NOT use Ephpod if you don't want to, but don't ASSUME iTunes will be better, just because you think Ephpod sucks.
I don't promote it, I just use it. It works beautifully for me, never had a problem, so I really don't know what the rest of you are doing with your systems, maybe it's not the application thats at fault here, ne?
I'd recommend you use LAME to encode mp3, no matter what general tool you use.
Ofcourse I'd never let any general-purpose tool take care of my encoding. What with the crappyness that most tools deliver, and how well lame does the job, I wouldn't think of using anything else.
As for the crashes, Ephpod has yet to crash even once one me.
Never has it happened, so there might be something else wrong with your system.
Honestly, I hadly think that iTunes will beat Ephpod on Windows.
Ephpod has all I ever wished for my iPod-syncing needs in it, and I'd be hard pressed to switch.
...but when we wrote the company intranet, I was one of the people who did interface design, and having alot of time and little work, I added a layer to the intranet webpages where, after a certain period of inactivity, puffy (the OpenBSD blowfish) started swimming around the site saying "So long and thanks for all the passwords"...
I got many a confused reaction from that one.
Not sure if it's still there, I left the company a while ago.
Try doing a google search for fanless power supplies.
I instantly found some from silicon acoustics (i think), and having done this research before, I know that there's a company in germany that manufactures and sells fanless psus aswell.
The hitch is that they cost around $200/200, which I consider to be *alot*.
But money aside, that's your best bet.
What's the matter with you people? Every time someone, be it apple, microsoft, or anyone else, comes out with a new GUI feature, there are always claims that "well this windowmanager had this years ago", or "they've copied this from apple" and whatnot. When are people going to realize that saying that someone copied a certain feature from someone else in the operating system world is like saying "hey, BMW copied that thing with having doors from Volvo", or "hey, linux had a 'kernel' before I heard the windows NT talk about kernel/user-land separation". There are just some things that are basic operating system concepts, rather than vendor-specific ideas. I'm not saying that this is always the case, but more often than not. So please, stop the whining, it really just makes you look like you value advocacy over common sense.
The article clearly states that "The latest versions of Linux, Solaris, and OpenBSD are immune as zombies..." so I suppose that if you want to keep using linux, just upgrade to whatever version started being invulnerable to this type of attack.

any classical boardgame really, where randomness has nothing do with it, such as a roll of the dice.
Also, Dance Dance Revolution would be a bad game for that challenge :P
