I enjoy working my way through the lesson trees at https://www.khanacademy.org/. Most of the stuff is pretty simple but the multiple choice tests are enjoyable to me. And the Lesson Dashboard is shiny and sparkly.

My wife of 5-6yrs or so is definitely not a gamer, although I can get her to play some games.

She cant stand WoW or anything that requires above average time commitment, with kids and what not its hard enough to find time for myself let alone both parents to play.

Games she Loves on the Wii:

Raving Rabids
Deweys Adventure
Mushroom Men The Spore Wars
MarioKart
Meet the Robinsons

Games she loved on PS3:

God of War Series (watching, not playing)

Games she loves on PC:

Farmville

As you can see her taste in video games is severely stunted. Mostly reserved to poorly crafted movie renditions of adventure games. She seems to enjoy games that are 1 player, consist of running around and solving puzzles, require little strategy, and can be saved/stopped at any time.

That being said, I always enjoy finding a game she will play, even if it is 1 player, because she can play her game while i play mine and i don't get yelled at for spending too much time on my computer.

Resistance is futile. you will be assimilated.

RTFM: read the f*ck*ng manual there now your fully educated on PC building and can save yourself a couple hundred bucks and get a good lesson on how hardware interacts in your machine. Plus as a bonus you can learn all the neat built in functions that your motherboard will no doubt have, and how to use all the software that will come with it.

so if suction cups, no matter the scale, work by decreasing the air pressure inside the cup to create a seal from the pressure outside the cup, how will they work in space? which to my knowledge has a lot less air pressure then earth?

People Choose go to jail all the time, here in Canada. When charged with a minor criminal act, you are fined by the government, $5,10,25,000, whatever. You can either pay the money, or go to jail instead. Duration based on the amount you owe. Lots of people do not have the money to pay the government, so they go to jail. They're allowed out to go to work, returning after for a nice hot meal and a warm bed. Use the gym facilities, watch a movie, read a book. Prison on the other hand. Is shawshank redemption meets the midnight express. Not much fun.

Nothing like insulting your readers to generate positive responses. I personally read every EULA I accept.
