We describe our experimental setup, report our results, and conclude with a few design guidelines for constructing more effective helmets.
<whisperousTone>After reading the informative article, I noticed they failed to provide us with a few design guidelines for constructing these alleged "more effective helmets". They better hurry up with those guidelines... I think the RIAA can hear the "questionable media files" my mind recalls listening to earlier today.</whisperousTone>
I think EA Games is under the impression that most gamers own $300 video cards -- their latest installement of the Battlefield series is both processor and video card intensive. I've got a pretty decent system that I built for myself and am using a $200 Nvidia card and STILL have to run BF2 at 800x600 (60 hertz) with all the options at LOW if I want optimal performance.
I am under the impression that game manufacturers don't build for what the average gamer may own, but rather continually attempts to push the whole technology envelope. When will it ever be enough?
Next thing you know, the RIAA is going to want to preview all our home movies to ensure that we don't accidentally throw in a little borrowed theme music.
GREEEEAAAAT. GoogleTV. It's not bad enough that our arses are literally glued to our desks in front of the proverbial digital girlfriend... now we can get fat and lazy in front of the boob tube with smart ads. I can just feel the fat cells curdling in my innards.
My parents got a broadband connection and rang me up.... "hey, we just got the Internet on our desktop today! All I have to do is click the blue 'E'."
To which I replied, "The whole internet? How'd they fit all that on your desktop? That's amazing, Ma. Simply amazing."

Yeah, the English version of Wikipedia is going to be extremely useful in Botswana. Last time I checked, Setswanese wasn't in Wikipedia's list of supported languages.
