Submission + - The Man Who Broke Bowling
theodp writes: In The Man Who Broke Bowling, GQ's Eric Wills profiles professional bowler Jason Belmonte, whose two-handed bowling technique made him both an outcast as well as one of bowling's greatest, changing the sport forever. Unlike the rest of us, a 7-year-old Belmonte was unconvinced by the taunts used to prompt kids into switching from bowling two-handed to one-handed ("It was, Come on, you’re a big boy now. It’s time to bowl properly," Belmonte recalls). As a result, Belmonte was able to develop a 600-rpm throw when most pro bowlers averaged 350-400, imparting a spin that "sends the pins into concussion protocol." Wills writes:
"When he first alighted on the professional bowling scene, Belmonte resembled an alien species: one that bowled with two hands. And not some granny shot, to be clear, but a kickass power move in which he uses two fingers (and no thumb) on his right hand, palms the front of the ball with his left, and then, on his approach, which is marked by a distinctive shuffle step, rocks the ball back before launching it with a liquid, athletic whip, his delivery producing an eye-popping hook, his ball striking the pins like a mini mortar explosion. Not everyone welcomed his arrival. He’s been called a cheat, told to go back to his native Australia; a PBA Hall of Famer once called the two-hander a 'cancer to an already diseased sport.'
If you're interested in more on the technical aspects of bowling — Belmonte's installed a tracking system in his parent’s bowling center back in Australia that generates reams of data he can sift through to find areas for improvement — Wikipedia goes into some of the physics of bowling balls.

Unfortunately, not EVERYONE is on broadband, and for dial up users, the bandwidth taken up by Windows Update can deeply irritate browsing habits. Also, I find that when on a dial up connection, you end up many months behind the current updates, with the lag getting greater as time goes on, as the updates are downloaded so very slowly. Then there are those glitches which need to be fixed by six other updates, all a long time time to wait on dial up, especially if your PC starts to crash because of the problem.
Then, there's that thing we can all sympathise with, that moment when Windows asks to restart whilst your in the middle of typing a lengthy post. You only need to press space to suddenly lose control of your system.
