Positional audio would be a benefit, assuming that can't be done in software/or by onboard sound.
While I play games, I fear my days of solid game playing are past. Kids and work take up too much of my time (read that as: my reaction times have slowed so that I can not compete with twitch gamers in their teens who have hours to burn practicing), so my game playing is usually done with my 360, Wii or an RTS type game on my PC.
No.. there is a difference. Onboard video isn't powerful enough to play most new games at any decent frame rate. My onboard sound doesn't prevent me from playing any games.
I did the math. I picked up the 360 HD attachment for $50. Comes with the xbox remote which costs $20 by itself. Picked up a few cheap HD titles to take advantage of the HDTV. I'm not buying bluray until it is around $100 for the player, and $20 for a disk. (or not at all, since I've had netflix I haven't bought a DVD in years)
Slashdotters seem to have very little respect for the research and peer-review system that papers have to go through to be published.
I'd say that this behavior isn't limited to slashdotters. I've seen this type of behavior in the american population at large. (haven't had experience in other cultures)
If you are regularly depressed the same 4 months out of the year, you might be suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder). My wife has this, and a treatment that has worked pretty well for her is a light box. (simluates summertime sunlight).
Opposite experience for me. I was having a hard time getting Sprint to let me out of my contract. (my house had no service, but they claimed that I did).
The day after I submitted the claim to BBB, Sprint called me and let me out without paying.
I live in minnesota though, maybe our branch is actually effective.
Ugh, I still have that book from my 2nd year theology course. ZZZZZ. With that book, I learned the leason that I could often skip the book and still discuss the topics in class. (Doesn't always work).
Actually, the only people I've noticed doing the twitch/jump/duck thing have been players of lower skill who haven't played games much. That and older people (who tend to fall into the first category).
I think people who have played games for most of their life have managed to shut off their mechanical limb responses to game stimuli and in general perform better in the game they are playing.
it's damn hard not to. Go to any convential grocer store and look at the ingredients on the breads, even the "healthy" ones. (even look at the supposed "fresh baked" bakery breads).
the only place I've found bread that doesn't have high F corn syrup is my local co-op. They've got lots of bread, from the "bird seed bread" (as I call it) to "normal" bread. I perfer Rudy's Organic breads. No transfats or corn syrup.
In the US today, the average citizen pays nearly 50% of his earnings to government through federal, state, and local taxes and fees combined. 50 percent!
Where do you get those numbers? I'm upper middle income and I pay around %10 in taxes all told. Lower income then me would be paying less. Super rich people paying upwards of %50 (when the %50 they keep is 20x more then I make) I don't have a problem with.
Slashdot Mirror
How do they get past the parts of the bible that contradict other parts?
Apparently no moderators though.
Love those commercials.
Do they dance in an interpretive manner?
How do you manage to put your underwear on your legs and not your head?
Amazing how the human brain can manage to use a computer, and yet be so broken such that it is unable to use any sort of rational logic.
Um... fuck all is certainly not a new term. I've heard it used since before I was in high school, ~20 years ago.
And where do you work that has retarded language filters on?
Sounds good to me.

In conclusion, get off my lawn you damn kids.

I think it is more for audiophiles now.

NM, I'm thinking Thoroughbred. 1700 was the first of those. Too many T horse words.
700mhz Thunderbird? I thought the first AMD thunderbird cores were 1700+.

I think that the way the government has been behaving lately, it is more the other way around.

Anyone else notice this?

Bread for $2.5 is cheap/on sale. The bread we normally buy is $4. Though our bread is organic, with no high F corn syrup or other chemical addins.
Want to and need to are two different things.
I don't see why they NEED to.
"papers please..."
Other then crossing national borders, I fail to see why anyone should be forced to show ID while doing any of the other activies you list.
