When some of the benefits comeback to the consumer. If im fighting in a city I'm not going to be annoyed by adds that MAKE SENSE IN THE CONTEXT THEY APPEAR. If I'm in a city and they year ingame is 2507 I don't want to see Martha Stewart Spring collection on a billboard.
Advertising in games works when they are advertising a BRAND not a product. If advertisers could accept that then ads would not be obtrusive.
You asked how they plan on hooking the player up. I gave you answer.
Invasive may work the best but this is for a game, only an idiot would undergo an invasive surgery to play a videogame.
I don't see this panning out for at least another 5 years. I agree with you, yes, hair would be a problem. Sorry if I came across as combative. My intent wasn't to be rude.
I had three MRSA infections in a period of about 6 month until they killed everything in my nose. I have 2 penny sized scars from the cuts that got infected and a smaller one on my jawline. I took them in early and was given intravenous antibiotics twice and then 2 antibiotics on the other one. The third one was on the back of my leg and it got me really sick. Scary shit. Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't MRSA a blanket term for like 10 or 15 strains of resistant bacteria?
Practice does help, up to a certain point. With the simple math you encounter before middle school 50 problems per night on a concept you understand is unnecessary. Maybe 10 simple, and 10 complex enough to test your understanding of the concept then to test your ability to apply it should be enough. 200 multiplication problems PER NIGHT is to much. Especially when they are the brain dead simplistic kind.
Learning the scales is partly to help you learn finger position and help you give you speed when moving between keys. If you can;t do that without think about it then you can't play a song right because you have to THINK about where that key is. If you can hit a free throw on instinct you can make one because no one will give you time to shoot that basket in the middle of a game. With multiplication all you are doing with huge amounts of homework is memorization of certain combinations of numbers. Something that was really useless once I hit my upper level math and physics classes.
The truth of the matter is that people learn at different rates and people learn in different ways. Some people don't need that homework other do.
Reps help brains, new and interesting material does a better job than reps. Like with muscle tone and size are different but important.
PS2 emulation is improving but unless you have one of of a system you can't run most of the games or even render the environment correctly. However the leading project is moving fast right now so that could change in the next 2 to 3 years.
Then you went back home and got beat on by your dad because he is a mean drunk who drinks to forget the fact that his football dream never happened and that his son will probably never amount to anything either.
At my college we have the CS majors... and the IT majors. Every year we lose CS majors and IT gains students.
IT majors do 2 programming courses and a no advanced math(no calc). CS majors have a harder dergee program and our college doesn't give a shit about us. They spend time talking about their 100% placement rate with IT major and how all the IT majors are on the management level within 5 years making six figures. Many of the IT majors have their oh so superior "I'll be your boss one day" attitudes which is only reinforced by the attitude of the faculty. It pisses me off to no end because they tout programming skills but if you asked them to do anything more advanced than simple nested for loops and method calls in java they would give you a blank look and go "huh?". Then they make a comment about their golfing skills scoff and walk away. I will plot your downfall you sonofabitch and you won't know what hit you... ahem.. sorry got a little carried away there.
The scary part is with few exception the CS majors look like stereotypical CS majors. Its really scary. Some of us go to the gym or run everyday. The problem is many of us don't and that is the ones people see. The other problem is we have a ton of primadonas. The ones who sit and basically scoff at their classes and claim to be mad hackers. The thing is they are for the most part pretty damned smart. They are to arrogant to do anything or work with other people and they will manage to get their degree and they won't be able to do jack shit in the real world because they refuse to do the mundane programming. They want glamor. These are guys who are about to graduate.
My first semester I got bored and went back and looked at all the mistakes I made registering for classes. One of them was packing my classes into 5 hour work chunks a day or having 2 classes back top back that were way to far away. I spent the next few hours writing some pseudo code. I also asked a friend of mine who is a civil engineering major if he could give me distances between all the building using all the heavily used walking paths on campus. Once I figured it out me and another CS major who was in his third year wrote the actual code up and we took it to the guy who administrates our class scheduling and registration system. He liked it, had another guy on the staff help us adapt it to better work with the database and the front end we employ and we added it. Next semester we saved countless freshman a lot of trouble. We got thanked, credited, were given good experience, I got a recommendation that will help me with any internships I apply for, and hell it was kinda fun to do.
The CS primadonas gave me disdain because I did something so simple that they could do "blindfolded", something that was below their wizardry. IT majors were still pompous arrogant assholes.
It might just be me but since the CS profession lost that bit of glamor it had we have been attracting for the most part the wrong sort of people. We need to make it so its worth the time to get a CS major again instead of making a CS major a miserable experience. That however is just my 0.02$ based on my narrow little slice of hell. Thank god I'm going to a different college next year and starting my game design degree then my masters in CS.
Actually no you don't. In certain cases it can be transmitted non sexually. Also someone husband can be a carrier. Unless of course you are suggesting lifelong celibacy for these girls.
Of course he gets modded down. I mean isn't calling someone a Jew a great insult in suburban America? its not anti semitic, its just denoting how they handle money, or how they strive to gain money.
Yes, I was being sarcastic, before someone reads that wrong.

RTFA. This is not an invasive technology. Its a helmet.
No asshole I a college athlete who fences. I got mine MRSA off a body cord or a mask.
Well for once my penicillin allergy didn't matter to much.
I misstated sorry. Isn't there different strains of MRSA with different resistances?
I had three MRSA infections in a period of about 6 month until they killed everything in my nose. I have 2 penny sized scars from the cuts that got infected and a smaller one on my jawline.

No that what we call "OH FUCK"

What was I trying to prove with a question? I had just finished Deus Ex again and couldn't remember.
If god did not exist it would be necessary for man to create him. Wasn't that Voltaire?
Oh I do know how much I am asking. My post would have read better if I had said Improve instead of fix.
Will it fix the problems with that? Ya I know I'm asking a lot.
Keep with the times old man.... I want to slap myself for saying that.
Then you went back home and got beat on by your dad because he is a mean drunk who drinks to forget the fact that his football dream never happened and that his son will probably never amount to anything either.
You don't remember the starforce debacle do you?
Multi task? Hell I can barely concentrate on one thing before my attention span shifts. Being old must be hell.
Eh? I agree with you on that. The broken home isn't the key factor here. If I said anything of the sort I misspoke.
YAY I AM A NUT CASE!

Well I was trying to make a really lame office space joke, but I guess i mangled it that badly.
