I went to drink an orange juice and then it hited me; Damn I forgot to preempt the obvious joke of "yes its called the stock exchange duhhhh". And there we go now:(
Now I also just notice that booth links seams to be from the same company so before anyone say the second most obvious comment: "are you promoting your own web site/company", I'll say no, but if you don't believe me I'll say: "Do you want bet 100$ on that?".
I understand that there is no real money involved. Do someone know a "good or recommended" web site with similar concept where you can cash on your knowledge and instinct?
I just did a search and found two but I am not sure if they are any good:
"...Because stating on one hand that you're in to the full immersion aspect of roleplaying, but can play someone of another race easier than you can play someone of the same race but different gender just strikes me as rather strange..."
Yes exactly. For probably cultural and biological reasons I would enjoy exploring being of another race but changing sex would not attract and would even annoy me a bit. The same way that because of my multicultural background I like to taste food coming from all around the world but would not want to eat fried bull balls. No matter how much you argue that eating the fried balls of a bull (they eat that in Spain) its not different than eating fried chicken, I would not be attracted to that. Call me strange if you want but I simply call that knowing myself and knowing what I like and what I don't like.
I played WOW until 60. My policy was exactly don't ask don't tell. That's why I hate using things like ventrilo because then you hear the big raspy voice coming out of that hot looking priest avatar. But in end game at lev 60, if you want to do raids, you have no choice (ventrilo becomes very useful) and that's when you realize how many women are not women:). I admit that instinctively I felt compelled to help and protect the chicks avatars even if I knew that there was a good chance that she was a dude. Still, personally, I would not be able to play a women. I like role playing and when I was playing it was a total immersion for me and taking the role of a girl is not my thing. No matter the reward. Why? because I am a man man!
Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine.
The trick is to both of you create a character that you only play together. Then if one of you have a little more time, you just create another one that you are free to level up to 70 with Epic fishing pool and Artisan mad bartending skills.
"...Ideally, the maintainers of the fund for "The Frozen" will plan on freezing themselves, as well. It's something that would keep running indefinitely..."
Survival of the trust is one part of the equation but they should also think about survival of the company who make cryonic possible. 25 000 don't seams a lot of money to keep their remains frozen for a long time. If there is no cryonic breakthrough soon enough the company will have to keep storing bodies and wont have any new cash input. After some time the company will crumble under debts and its remains will go to the dump.
The guy who is planning to give himself back is 4 billions dollars should make another trust with lets say 2 billions that will finance the cryogenic institution and also finance research in the field of cryonic. That should boost is chances of coming back.
Normally when a stupid kid end up releasing in the wild some virus, the media and authorities pull out of their collective ass some estimate figure in dollars for the damages done. This figure is always in millions of dollars lost. Why don't they do the same for the Sony fiasco? Maybe I just missed it?
Where is the "Sony caused 396 056 4564.1416 gazillions dollars in damages" headline?
"...So is putting a light inside your PC, or most case modding in general..."
"...Then again, decorating your low-end Honda Civic with big mufflers, racing stripes, and spinny hubcaps is silly, too..."
"...It's silly, sure. But it's nowhere as silly as a necktie...."
"...Don't even get me started on women's fashions..."
Exactly, and if we start overanalysing what really matter in everything we do we will end up only eating, reproducing and going to the craper. What's the point of watching sports on TV? To me totally boring and useless, to another something he can't live without. For that reason I can understand people who have pleasure moding those things even if I don't.
I am sure that if we analyse the whereabouts and lifes of the people who always proudly write a "get a life" post, they end up doing lots of stupid useless stuff. The only difference is that the stupid useless stuff they do is accepted by a majority of individuals in our society since long time now and it's arbitrary called "normal".
I am sorry to continue this offtopic post but the subject is interesting. (and at least have a link!) I just now typed Fark to test the complain generator and got something starting exacly with this...
"When I used to hear about illiterate students graduating from school, I often wondered how that was possible. But after encountering some of Fark's more subhuman catch-phrases, I now realize that not only is it possible for people to graduate without having learned fundamental skills such as reading and writing, but that it's possible for these same people to believe that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. "
Damn! Close enough for me!
//Not that there is anything wrong with reading Fark;)
The only way the producers can redeem themselves is if in the end, after choosing some sort of winner, they send him/her for a real trip in a 20 million dollar Soyuz trip reward.

I use to be a great athlete with a perfect body. I was able to eat any kind of fast food as much as I wanted. 10 years ago during my university years I stopped sports and started drinking to much beer. Suddenly I wasn't able to eat as much as before I got from 155 pounds to 230 (I am 5'7"). Over the last 10 years I have tried and failed many times to lose weight but one thing remained in my mind. If I was once fit I am enable to do it again. I think the reason of my previous failures where that I wasn't trying hard enough; I was thinking: "well I once was slim only exercising and eating as much as I want then I can do it again!". Yes that plan was a total failure. Then I tried only making a diet and it failed for lack of motivation.
2 years ago I decided to make the "Overkill/bullet proof/all out war on weight" plan and got very good results. I started a diet + exercising 30 minutes 6 times a weak plus 4 hours of Tae Kwon Do + 4 hours of Aikido. It did was overkill! I did lost 35 pound in two month. Unfortunately I did not have the will to continue to work as hard but right now I am maintaining my weight at 185. Not perfect but I still thinking that I can do better and even if not doing an overkill plan I still exercisse 4 houres a week and watching what I eat.
What is my point?
Take responsibility of your own actions!

A flaw? Nahh that one is definitively someone's feature.

I like animated or virtual in the name. I propose:
Animated Medias
Virtual Activities
With those kind of names, games look more uducatives, but kind of boring. :(
Or something like that :)
