I've been a hardcore gamer for years, currently don't play much anymore though. Now I am not really a lucid dreamer, since I don't feel like I have total control, but I do feel that I "nudge" myself in the dream from a passive role to an aggressive one.
Before I give some examples, here is a cool trick: I figured out a way to have real hardcore lucid dreams: Buy a pack 21mg nicotine patches, slap one on your bottom (low chance of getting a rash there) and go to sleep. Unless you normally smoke a pack or more a day, the nicotine will give you a restless night, meaning it is easier to take control of the dream and after you have a dream, it's a lot more likely you will remember them vividly the next day. I've experience a couple of really awesome dreams that way, that were far better then some drugs.
Here's an example of two scenarios I frequently play through (not lucid, but still with a feeling off taking limited control):
I'm having sex with a couple of really pretty big breasted women, everything is fuzzy and blurry (nice tits though) when all of a sudden a demon dog jumps in and starts tearing the ladies to pieces more monsters start to follow and they corner me. As they slowly come closer and I stand there all naked, I "think" a huge sword into my hands, from there on the butchering commences (although I sometimes slice everything up, including the pretty girls and everything ends up in a big red bloody mess, it's still better then getting ripped to pieces by the monsters).
Another one is that I am back as a kid in school and all my classmates are taken hostage and I'm hiding somewhere while the hostage takers are looking for me (sounds a lot like counterstrike this one doesn't it?). Just as they are getting close to me, I teleport out of the school building onto a nearby rooftop, with a machine gun in my hand and I start firing at them. I usually wake up at a point late in the gun fight, when I am almost done killing them.
I've had dozens of variations of these two themes, always switching into Godmode at some point and ending up with lots of gore and blood.
Sometimes they involve black or multicolored spider like rotating monsters and I wake up while getting ready to attack them. That really freaks my wife out, because for about 20 seconds I continue to "see" them while I'm awake (even if the room is pitch dark) and I'll start yelling at her to look at them.
I ran into this ad myself yesterday and thought it was very odd, because I am running FF and adblock plus, so I made a screen shot and did some searching on it.
Screen shot and info can be found here, it's clearly visible that I am running FF and you can see the Adblock logo on the top right:
I don't know why your comment is flagged as funny.
Every fat person I have met personally had a emotional disorder. Either they were depressive and self medicating with texmex and Mc Donalds or they had a hedonistic lifestyle and were unable to limit their own indulgence in alcohol and fat intake.

Is Vista a Trap?

I'm afraid you are WRONG. If you have a router running a Samba share (like me, Asus WL-500gP) You will find out that after upgrading you can no longer access that share. Microsoft decided to switch to NTLMv2 breaking support with all samba 2.x Linux devices (mostly routers and sans)out there. Then you have two solutions, either change the security setting of Vista downwards to be backwards compatible with NTLM or upgrade your firmware to support 3.23 or a higher version of Samba. Hence, you my friend appear to be the idiot here.
Its painful to see so many/.ers completely missing the sarcasm in both the/. entry and the article.
Americans can be so tiring sometimes(flushes karma).
One little correction, money actually does magically appear. Federal bank inc. creates it by compression of paper and the American dream. For every $100 you bring to a bank as savings, any bank, magically they make $190 of your $100.
I assume you don't have much hands on experience with Bluetooth? I think that in this day and age it is about time we get a short range wireless protocol that doesn't require resetting your computer at least once a day.
You are dangerously close to understanding the world...
Now consider that the influencing of ideas is not limited to direct political party ideas but to every aspect of our society of major brands influencing our how profile ourself by wearing certain clothes, drive a specific car.
Oil lobbies that finance environmental groups to protest against nuclear energy, employers that influence the loyalty of their employees.
It makes me doubt the free will of mankind.
On average we had a big world war AND a big depression about every 50 years.
We are behind on schedule. The moment either of those two hit, your money will either vaporize or it will be used to build war machines with. I will just spend my money, that way I will die a happy man on the battlefields of WWIII.
"I know you're trying to be funny, but the first thoughts that come to my mind when I saw this were:
1. This means at some point we'll be able to control electronics with our brain. 2. This means at some point electronics will be able to control us.
I/O is a funny thing like that. Who is telling who what to do?"
And who controls your brain now?
Why do you smoke? Drink alcohol, do drugs? Become obese? Vote Bush?
With electronics in our brain, for the first time we might actually be able to take control of our lifes for the first time. Who knows, maybe even prove the fact that we have a freedom of choice...
You forget that stuff that gets launched into space occasionally blows up while taking off.
I don't think McDonalds would like to be associated with the big M flying to a million pieces(and I am pretty sure that the lift-offs that go wrong are rerun a lot more then the ones that go right).
"but let's face it, that's pushing the limits of fair use."
I think your point is to prove that corporate brainwashing is working very well. For your consideration, in Dutch copyright law, there is an explicit statement, that allows you to create a copy from content your neighbours or friends bought. Legally.
Now, why again is that pushing the limits of fair use? To maximize the profits of corporations? And how does that work in your favour?
The article sounds like a consultant who is in dire need of work and does the ultimate desperate action, getting free ad time on/.
His story sounds like a fairy tale. Not like the life of a system administrator.
I can think of an other group who from a historical point of view has interest in what is going on during the Olympics. Remember Munich? I think they are more likely to be involved in this.
Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush are pretty much the first article a 12 year old will look up on Wikipedia. These youngsters are so open to information fed through the media, that when they fill in or click random links, their brain gives priority to the above mentionen names.
Blocking those pages could mean, they will stop vandalizing, or that they will start vandalizing what is next on their subconcious treshold.
lets see, trying to find the biggest icons todays culture, the names most often heared by our children. who are going to be next to be blocked from change, if any? The Pope most likely, Michael Jackson, I would think. I think Saddam Hussein scores rather high to.
Advancing in your line of thought, when or if these laptops will be given to African kids, don't you think smart African businessmen might figure out a way to redistribute them somewhere down the line?
How much trouble is it to pay a couple of kids a week of food, to make them get a laptop and deliver it to them.
That is what always happens when goods and food are distributed.
Corruption remember?

From what I could understand from the presentation, everything goes through Azure.
Which means that all the posts you make go through Microsoft's data centers before they get posted on facebook/twitter/whatever.
This is all just a scheme for Microsoft to gather user data and to monetize on it. A data-grab scheme, plain and simple.

It's not running on Azure. And a user data gathering plan? Mehhh.
