I don't get it for Zelda on the DS either really.

Though I appreciated my time in the first game for some reason. Guess it's because it was the first Zelda game I actually experienced & played through (I had played Zelda on NES but wasn't good enough on it to have any clue where I was going, also tried Link but had even less of a clue there.)

Half of the game is spent transporting yourself from some point to another point with repetitive game play, many of the puzzles are similar and repetitive too and the flute playing part in the second one was frustrating because it was hard to get it to play as intended and I didn't knew what sort of "errors" it accepted which made it easier to get a pass.

Anyway, to me it's played part for the story and mostly for interesting puzzles but the transportation just seem like a filler.

It's not much of an open world either, some "quests" may be unlocked as you go in older places but it all bring you further in the story and I guess you may have to do it all to get there (or maybe some is of collecting swag to be able to upgrade your train in the later case.)

So it give you this world where you can move to any place you want in it (well, after they are opened up) but there's no reason to because only one or some points will allow you to travel further in the game. So you're just wasting time in dull game-play for the sake of it.

I think the Atari Lynx is my favourite.

I played it in stores a few times and it was massive, good looking, back-lit color screen!

The games may have been bad what do I know and it was big but .. It's such a cute device.

Such beauty:

IE is a complete disaster. I use Windows 8.1 and that's the case there.

So yeah, vs that it's fucking obivous. IE is slow, unstable, nasty.

VS Firefox - Firefox is single threaded and mine bugs out completely with the Graphics sometimes or it run some loop where it switches around between the tabs forever. I don't know why and maybe that's due to some add-on but regardless of why it does that and it completely suck.

Chrome is more reliable.

The question is why one should use 64 bit Chrome though. They claim it's faster and maybe it is when it have enough Resources but too me it seemed to use up my Resources quicker and as it did so it's definitely not faster.

Oh, and this is a problem with IE too. For whatever retarded reason it make some Words have a large letter in the beginning.. I've fixed some in this text block but haven't fixed some others.

I have no fucking clue why and it's hard to find out but it's completely retarded of course.

Yeah s*.

But the point was how near to the sun do they have to be? And are they really having "monster steam blasts" - whatever that is, explosions? - or is it just melting away on the surface?

Thank you for the pressure part though. So it's vaporized at a lower temperature too (?)
Guess that explain why one see the trails at what I thought might had been a pretty far distance from the sun.

That make it harder for me to have any idea for how violently it may "boil off" relative a surface temperature too.

I have no idea how the surface will be behaving at different times really =P

I actually googled furlong and saw that one acre was the area of 1 furlong * 1 chain where 1 furlong supposedly was how long you plow ..

Good measurement I'd say!

"Oh it's how long my field is!"

(Now I kinda wanted to say acre because in Swedish the name of a field you saw crops on is "ker", maybe it's from the English acre?)

1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 chain = 22 yards / 100 links
1 yard = 3 feet
1 feet = 12 inches or 50/33 links.

"Kalpa is a Sanskrit word (Hindi: ààà¥à kalpa) meaning an aeon, or a relatively long period of time (by human calculation) in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. The concept is first mentioned in the Mahabharata. The definition of a kalpa equaling 4.32 billion years is found in the Puranas (specifically Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana)."

Seem like the Hindus got more of a clue than the Christians.

"Relative long."

Dare I say it will be a hell of a lot of chains in an hindu kalpa?

Maybe it's easier to round it off as 0 googleplex chains per kalpa?

500 km/h?

That's only 0.00000370624 furlongs / light-mile!!

(1 light mile = 1 609.333 / 299 792 458 = 0.00000536815 seconds
500 km / h in m / s = 500000/3600 = 138.888888889 m / s
(500000/3600)*(1609.333/299792458) = 0.00074557736 meters / light mile.
1 meter = 0.00497096954 furlongs
(500000/3600)*(1609.333/299792458)*0.00497096954 = 0.00000370624 furlongs / light-mile.
Now you know how the rest of the world feels!)
