Ok, on the graphic example of the "twisted" arm, the hand holding the regular mouse, is twised WAY to far.
(Link to graphic in the article here.)
Also, it seems to me, holding the mouse in a 90 degree angle, like their many examples show, would stress my THUMB more than holding a regular mouse would stress my "twisted" arm..
Try it yourself. Hold your arm like in their example, pretend like your holding the 90 degree mouse. Now move your wrist 90 degrees, as if you were going to hold a mouse. I'm not sure about everybody else, but my wrist mostly moved, NOT my arm.
Nice try though.
Hey, maybe Google wants to buy AOL to shut it down! Doesn't every geek wish they could just dump AOL into space and never think of it again? This would help all these poor AOL people transition to the real internet, and help them stop thinking that AOL -is- the internet.. Just a hopeful thought.
What about long gaming sessions? Your battery wears about and, unless you bought (and charged the batteries) a second controller.. your DONE playing, untill your primary controller is recharged.
Now.. I agree on you with having a good battery in the controller.. but I think there needs to be some type of option, to be able to charge the controller, WHILE USING IT.
I think I remember paying about $350 american for mine.. good ole Mitsumi 1x CD drive, complete with pull out tray and 16bit ISA controller card! Hmm.. I wonder if I can find a picture of it..
But, some DVDs today are auto-starting the movie after so many minutes of being idle at the menu. I've done this too (almost finished cooking a meal, pop in the DVD while making my plat. Return to the living room and, hey! the movie is playing already.. rewing...)
so we're damned if we plan ahead, and damned if we don't.
How do you know? It sounds like they are setup to spin quite easily enough. From the article (and I'm paraphrasing here), The bottom blade was producing lift (which means it was spinning fast enough), but the top blade was not (because of weather conditions (odd winds?)). So a significant crash of the blades happened.
On a side note, does anyone have a better picture of that chopper? The news site doesn't do it any justice with that small of a pic../sigh
While I agree with leerpm, sometimes people just want to host their own.
What your looking for is SDSL, what your describing is ADSL (sycronis vs asyncronis).. SDSL is the same in both directions, allowing you to get a higher upstream, by sacrificing your down stream a bit.. of course I have seen 1024 up and down SDSL, but you have to be pretty close to your CO.
This has to be based on opinion.. What one person calles sexual content, I call an every day thing.. Maybe if I reviewed these games.. I would find only 10 of the reported 18 games really had sexual content.. What is it with American's (I'm an American by the way) being all against sex.. I mean come on.. isn't everybody a closet pr0n freak anyway..
I say let the pr0n out of the closet! Educate our children so they know about sex so they don't have to experiment and get in trouble!
I'm sure there was something even before my example here.. but in Day of the Tentacle you could play the prequal game, Maniac Mansion on a computer inside the game.
Actually, this won't work.. I've patched over a triple T1 link to the Sprint backbone.. and could only get 50 to 100 KBytes/sec usually from Microsoft's side.. I would bet MS throttles connections somewhere.. or there are just that many people patching on their patch pipes...
ok, with the keyboard slammed against the outside edge of the deck, how the heck am I supposed to use this in my *LAP*? Come on Sony.. move the keyboard back so I can rest my palms on the deck, and hold the laptop on my lap at the same time...

This is what I've always understood..
the primary number (v1, v2, etc) is a MAJOR rewrite of the code..
the secondary number (x.1, x.2, etc) is a substantial release, lots of changes and upgraded code...
and the tertiary number (x.x1, x.x2, etc) are primarly big fixes.
