The idea of "nature" was given that name to describe the portion of the world which is outside of the works of man. Using the term Nature presupposes a separation between what man controls and influences and what we do not. The idea that man is an outsider to nature is very old and entwined with many other ideas and ideals. At it's core is the idea that our sentience allows us a measure of control over the universe to shape as we will.

It's probably more relative joystick vs a mouse's absolute position. I don't have a problem playing a game designed with the autoaim inherent to a joystick's lackadaisical movement. But it can be annoying for the game to get around to the target I want to hit.

Back in the day I used to prefer KB/M/joystick, all three. Buddy of mine used KB/M/Trackball/and a Spaceball all at the same time. It's a PC so you don't really have to choose. Maybe. We'll see.

I agree. Though I think the small controller size was more because they felt that the controllers were sized for western children (target audience and all) rather than Japanese adults. I thought the big xbox controller was fine for me but I thought it odd that they weren't targeting children's handsize.

You need a better couch. OK I'm kinda kidding insofar as what you need, But I bought both my last and current couch with it's suitability as a mousepad in mind. They've both worked fine.

I never noticed lag issues with (non BT) wireless KB/M setups. for me it was always range when voltage dropped with rechargeable batteries. With a fresh set of batteries that (range) was fine. but youd get missed keypresses within a couple of days. A USB KB/M setup gets flakey beyond 6ft w/o a powered hub in the middle. Meanwhile medieval PS/2 with a pair of long ass extension cables always worked fine.

But my modern BT keyboard and mouse work fine. They're rechargeable from across the room.

I always considered trackballs better for fine movement when I used a 2-3 button PS2 mouse, back then I used both. But a modern gaming mouse is incredibly precise and all the buttons stay under your fingers during that movement. With a decent mouse you can even hotkey the speed of your cursor movement. I don't see the advantage of trackballs anymore.

She should still have her own account. I believe you are restricted to the same degree she is with the single licence. If you want to share access to the account, have her sit on your lap working the keyboard while you handle the "mouse."

Valve already stated that SteamOS is a Linux Distro. GNU? Not sure. Is SteamOS going to run on proprietary driver blobs from NV and AMD by default? Then I'd think not. But it's intended to run on a variety of hardware including a HTPC that could be sitting in your living room right now. At least from what I read on the Valve FAQ. I really have a difficult time wrapping my head around a Linux system with a variety of hardware that won't require some access to a command line and something to edit configs. but if they can pull that off, kudos to them.

My take is that a Steambox will be a Linux PC in a console like enclosure with a gameconsole like interface, sold by third parties, and likely including some level of remote support with the price of admission.

Nah, they said it would not be HL3. We all figured it would be the controller they kept referring to. A living room game system needs a livingroom game controller.

I suspect strongly that HL3 will require a MS Windows based OS at launch and quite surprised and pleased if it even runs locally on any version of a steambox or a computer running SteamOS..Valve has stated that the Steambox will stream more hardware intensive games from your beefier Windows system.

Great, now I want curry and all the delivery places are closed.

The goat kinda replaces the pig and the cow for much of the people that would be the target of cricket flour. And the goat is a source of milk and cheese for protein, not just meat.

Speaking of taboos, cultures with religions that keep Halal might have a problem with eating bugs if they are improperly killed. So smashing them to death would make them haraam (as bad as eating pork). Just roasting insects alive would not make the food halal but it wouldn't be expressly forbidden to eat if you had no other choice. And to make insects halal I think you'd need to have muslim slicing off cricket heads with an exacto knife while praising Allah.

Of course bugs are also strictly non-kosher (as is lobster, etc...)

Not only that, but you'd probably choke to death trying to swallow a huntsman.

Bitcoin mining with your own GPU is almost over.

What if you aren't paying for the hardware or the electricity bill on a thousand machines?.
