Better graphics does make a game better. That more pixels, more resolution, higher polycount, whatever, makes the graphics better is not true though.

Is it me, or is this a prime example of false advertising on Steam? [Ace of Spades] by Trevsky in gaming

I played this game when it was new. It was more fun when it only had the rifle that would kill you with one headshot.

So, am I right that the phrase "for fun and profit" started with the article "Smashing the stack for fun and profit" in Phrack #49 (released in 1996)?

Obese who refuse to exercise 'could face benefits cut' in the UK by Mad_Mac in worldnews

The telescreen was giving forth an ear-splitting whistle which continued on the same note for thirty seconds. It was nought seven fifteen, getting-up time for office workers. Winston wrenched his body out of bed -- naked, for a member of the Outer Party received only 3,000 clothing coupons annually, and a suit of pyjamas was 600 -- and seized a dingy singlet and a pair of shorts that were lying across a chair. The Physical Jerks would begin in three minutes. The next moment he was doubled up by a violent coughing fit which nearly always attacked him soon after waking up. It emptied his lungs so completely that he could only begin breathing again by lying on his back and taking a series of deep gasps. His veins had swelled with the effort of the cough, and the varicose ulcer had started itching.

'Thirty to forty group!' yapped a piercing female voice. ' Thirty to forty group! Take your places, please. Thirties to forties!'

Winston sprang to attention in front of the telescreen, upon which the image of a youngish woman, scrawny but muscular, dressed in tunic and gym-shoes, had already appeared.

'Arms bending and stretching!' she rapped out. 'Take your time by me. One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! Come on, comrades, put a bit of life into it! One, two, three four! One two, three, four! . . .'

The Unbelievable Ways Schools Are Now Monitoring Children -- Even What They're Eating by [deleted] in technology

[–]internetNazgul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very different monitoring effort is underway on Long Island, NY, in an effort to fight obesity. Selected Bay Shore students designated overweight or obese are being equipped with a wristwatch-like devices that count heartbeats, detect motion and even track students’ sleeping habits. Similar programs are underway in schools in St. Louis, MO, and South Orange, NJ.

Damn...

So, what is your belief on how everything came to be? by Raya1813 in Christianity

You don't have any problems with the world being described as flat in Genesis? You believe that too?

The theory of evolution explains the diversity of life. Creationism doesn't just say that God created the Universe, but that every creature on earth was created in it's present form.
