All "twitch" gaming systems can be cheated if played on remote hardware not controlled by the server, and even chess style games can be easily cheated by writing an AI bot to calculate optimal moves for you. Not even having a fast enough connection to stream video to the clients and a powerful enough CPU to calculate *everything* serverside solves this problem, as it just turns cheating into a vision procession problem. See the captchas arms-race.
There's almost always a small gap between the pad and the rest of the machine. This is the ideal place to put small items because it's easily visible and anyone who tries to take stuff from there is very close to your feet, where they could be "accidentally" kicked.
Propranolol is very cheap, unscheduled, and available from most online pharmacies. If you want to try it you shouldn't have any difficultly acquiring it. It does not make you forget things, only makes the memories less emotional. If anything it should make victims of crimes *more* reliable witnesses. The only ethical concern is military use, for everything else it is a very good idea.
Pinball beats almost every other arcade game because it's not perfect. You're dealing with real mechanical components, so you can't predict everything. You'll occasionally get a lucky shot that sends the ball flying through the air some place it was never intended to, and you can nudge the table to do seemingly impossible shots. And like scrolling shooters, pinball is a game where you can get into "the zone", where everything flows smoothly and you rack up crazy scores almost unconsciously. Unfortunately tables are rare now, and too many of them are poorly maintained.
In real life "creating" new gold requires expensive mining. In MMORPGs, creating unlimited new gold requires flipping a few bits in the database. According to the TOSs, the MMORPG game owners have complete authority to do whatever they like to virtual items in their game, and are free to increase or decrease item rarity at will. The players have no say in this.
If you want to learn and retain extensive vocabulary, you're going to have to repeatedly test yourself on it (relying on "real life" conversation will not work, as some words are far too rare), so it makes sense to optimize the scheduling of that learning according to what we know about memory formation.
The most effective software for this purpose is SuperMemo, but it is non-free, so you may instead want to use the slightly inferior, but still effective Memaid. I have found memaid very useful for teaching myself kanji. Even if you don't decide on using Supermemo or Memaid, you should definitely read the SuperMemo website, as it contains a wealth of information on effective memorization. Both these programs are most effective if you can use them every day, but it does not have to take much of your time each day.
That idea is from the US constitution, which gives congress the power "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;". No mention of profit.
The whole point of HTML is allowing the user flexibility in display. If your preferred style is not the same as mine I'll use custom CSS and userscripts to change it. I didn't sign any contract agreeing to use your style, so the content provider has no right to enforce anything.
Some of those titles are unreadably small, but increasing browser zoom does not update the flash until you reload the page. For text that doesn't look any better than my carefully configured fonts anyway, this is pure loss in functionality.
For a preview of what this will look like, look at the breed of cattle with mutant myostatin gene, the Belgian Blue. They have enormous muscles, but they are not popular because the fetus cows grow too big for natural birth, so all of them have to be born by caesarean section. An injectable myostatin blocker avoids this problem, so I predict this will soon become very important in meat farming.
Maybe the de-interlace/motion interpolation is better now, but it will never be perfect because it's inventing information that didn't previously exist. It's like the various image scaling filters used in emulators (2xSAI etc), they sometimes subjectively improve things, but they can never be as good as artwork actually drawn at a higher resolution, and often make things look worse.
I'd rather watch the slightly lower res. NTSC than flickery 50Hz PAL. 100Hz frame doubled PAL is not a solution as it creates ugly artifacts, even with the best motion interpolation available.
While it is from a website full of pseudoscience and unconvincing "fossil" photographs, I found this stereophoto (view with crossed eyes for 3d view) very interesting:
I can't think of any possible explanation for this kind of geology other than water erosion. If there's liquid water below ground, maybe it's possible for it to reach the surface and remain liquid long enough to produce this feature.

Time is the only thing that can't be cheated.
The PSU draws 332W, the components draw less. It's not 100% efficient. PSUs are rated on power they can supply to the components.
The developers of Linux, not the developers of the GPL.
4 CDs for the PC version, 3 CDs for the Playstation version. The majority of that space was used by FMVs.

It might not be well enforced, but copyright law does apply in China, and without agreeing to the GPL copying is forbidden by copyright law.
Because it's not fat soluble, so it will have limited effect on the brain.
Do they have gapless playback and ReplayGain support yet?

The probability is lower because there's only one platter.
I don't either! I use the features of HTML as intended and display it as something less offensive.
Because it's being displayed on my computer and viewed using my eyes. I could equally consider ugly fonts and flashing adverts disrespectful to me.

The point being that it's not genetic, so you can inject them after they are born and not inject the pregnant cows.

Which is tolerable for still images, but looks disgustingly distorted on horizontal pans. I'd rather have a smaller pillarboxed image.

It's not an infinite set, as no computer has infinite memory.
