There comes a time in any thread when you've abstracted too far. The sum-total of these "people"'s storage needs would probably only fill a few floppies when zipped.
In my first year of uni, having just been introduced to FPS games, and after a few late-night LAN sessions I started strafing round corners, especially on flights of stairs.
I've been playing a lot of counter-strike lately, and I find myself checking corners and "camping spots" in rooms as I enter them sometimes..ack.
Further to the other explanation below, standing near trees may also be hazardous in that they tend to explode and throw bits of themselves outwards. Something to do with the sap being heated up and expanding? I forget..
Think about it, it jumps from the SKY to the GROUND frequently. It's impossible it would jump to a car, remember..from the SKY... and then make that much much harder jump from the bottom of the car to the ground?
Quite apart from the fact that I saw Richard "Hamster" Hammond sitting in the new Golf while it was struck with lightning on Top Gear last Sunday.
Any protection you get from sitting in a car is more likely due it acting as a Faraday cage.
Same was broached on Coupling. Jeff's Steve's "Porn Buddy". I'm pretty sure my brother would perform this function for me, but not out of any altruistic sense of duty...
No offence...but my girlfriend would laugh at me if I suggested that we write a contract defining implementation of possible solutions to a problem like playing too many games. And I think she'd be right to. But then I probably wouldn't spend long enough playing games to cause her to 'mare:o)
Communication and compromise *are* important, I'm just slightly disturbed by the need to codify a process.

I've frequently run machines and done Useful Things(tm) with GNU and the Linux kernel, without the use of X, KDE, GNOME or any of the other things you mention.
I've never tried it, but have you run a machine and done Useful Things with just the Linux kernel (with or without X/KDE/GNOME)? I imagine you could...I suppose..just the kernel, with an application which doesn't need to be linked or whatever etc. etc.
I suspect that more people run GNU/Linux, than run just the kernel Linux.
...I'll mention it. My bank, HSBC, gives you a small "card"(actually flimsy paper/plastic) with an identification number. This is of the form "AA1111111111". Then they have you put in your date of birth, something about me.
Depending on where they get the card, they may or may not be able to find out my DOB, the only thing on it is the number, no identifying marks.
The third key in this triple whammy is a 6-digit number. It asks for only three of these, each time you log in. And if you fail it, it asks for the same digits of the number.
No, not the pronoun, but a band with the unlikely name of "The Who".
How can people afford to pirate music? I thought the only way to distribute music was on CD, with all its inherent costs. Wait a minute! Is this new method of distribution much much cheaper? It's just a pity that there's no way for the record industry to utilise this new distribution mechanism and pass on their savings to the consumer!
It says that there's pending legislation to give users of biodiesel a tax-credit. Is home-made bio-diesel subject to tax over there? Because it is here.
...plenty of times in the UK, where "gas" is now (GBP)1 per litre, or $1.83 per litre, or around $7 american for a gallon.
How much is regular gas in the US, and how much for diesel?

If you could utilise the GPUs of 2/3/4 PCI video cards, leaving your AGP card of choice to cope with the monitor, would that work?
I have my doubts(but love playing devil's advocate), the overhead of managing everything may well negate any benefit of farming out work to the other cards. It would also shift the bottle-neck to the various communication channels, by increasing the traffic between components I guess.
Not to mention the effort inherent in setting something like that...
This is a nice little game that may help you learn your katakana and hiragana.
Also, some people put sticky labels with the foreign words on their stuff. And it may sound "babyish" but flash cards are pretty useful for learning Kanji. J-List sells sets of flash cards, and loads of other Japanese goodies too:o)
I've been trying to learn Japanese for a while now, but I haven't had much time to, what with final year of uni.
I guess you can just keep telling yourself that they were shipped across the border to a neighboring country and use that as an excuse to topple every government in the world, one by one.
Dude, great plan! Then, the last government you topple *has* to have the Ws of MD!!
So you're saying that the technology inside the "art" has some bearing on how people view the "art"?
1.) You do know that you can upgrade computer components right?
2.) The majority of people who will ever really appreciate case-mods are the people who frequent case-modding sites,/. etc.
Please tell me WTF you're talking about, because I have no clue. Honestly.
If you're saying that the art must have some function, then I think you're wrong...
1.) People can appreciate the case long after the internal components are obsolete.
2.) How long has the ATX standard been around? If the case is the art, it *IS* functional as long as it can house computer components.
That's just stupid, a mirror would cause everything we see to be opposite. Just look at your hand in the mirror to see what I mean.
What we really need to do is transport it 13 billion light years away with a transmitter. The transmitter then sends back pictures of the earth 13 billion years ago! Voila!

Not wanting 3000 whiny fucking bloggers to insult and attack him? Uhhyep.
In my experience, brains are sucked out prior to most bloggers ever touching a keyboard.
