I would advice agnsiat the ultra-specialized weaponry.This is just my own personal game design feelings, but ultra-powerful ultra-specialized weaponry always feels frustrating to me. Here's an analogy:I saw a game design talk at BlizzCon where the Diablo III team talked about the principle behind charms, and how they would be implemented in D3. For those who aren't familiar, charms were items that gave you a permanent, passive bonus to your character as long as you carried it in your inventory. It didn't have to be equipped on your person, but it did take up valuable inventory slots, which you then couldn't use for loot.This is an important decision for the player to make—how many charms can I afford to carry?—but what the D3 team realized was that it was not a FUN decision. You're forcing the player to choose between power and convenience. Users who aren't powergamers won't carry any charms, but they'll always feel weaker than powergamers. Users who ARE powergamers will fill their whole inventory with charms, but then they'll have to port back to town to put all the charms in a box every time they want to pick up some new piece of loot. Both types of users feel like they're missing out.Ultra-specialized, ultra-powerful items pose a similar problem. Say I have a Sword of Moderate Coolness, and a Sword of Truly Epic Frogman Stabbing But Precious Little Else. I can only carry one. Which do I take?Well, if I carry the Sword of Moderate Coolness, then I can be reasonably prepared agnsiat most scenarios. If I run into a Frogman, though, I'm going to be kicking myself.If I carry the Sword of Truly Epic Frog-Man Stabbing But Precious Little Else, then I am TOTALLY COVERED if a Frog-Man shows up—but what about the other types of enemies I'm likely to encounter? I just have to grit my teeth and say Man, this will all be worth it the next time I have to fight a Frog-Man! The third option is to carry BOTH swords with me at all times, and switch them out depending on what sorts of enemies I encounter. This is the best overall option. But it's also inconvenient and frustrating, and makes combat more about equipping myself than actually doing any fighting.These are in fact meaningful game choices. But they're not really fun choices to make. - Auth - 06/05/2012 05:09
dysfunction (ED or (male) impotence) is a seuxal dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis. There are various underlying causes, such as cardiovascular leakage and diabetes, many of which are medically treatable. Nerve trauma from prostatectomy surgery can cause chronic .The causes of may be physiological or psychological. Physiologically, erection is a hydraulic mechanism based upon blood entering and being retained in the penis, and there are various ways in which this can be impeded, most of which are amenable to treatment. Psychological impotence is where erection or penetration fails due to thoughts or feelings (psychological reasons) rather than physical impossibility; this can often be helped. Notably in psychological impotence there is a very strong placebo effect.Erectile dysfunction, tied closely as it is to cultural notions of potency, success and masculinity, can have devastating psychological consequences including feelings of shame, loss or inadequacy; often unnecessary since in most cases the matter can be helped. There is a strong culture of silence and inability to discuss the matter. In fact around 1 in 10 men will experience recurring impotence problems at some point in their lives.Folk remedies have long been advocated, with some being advertised widely since the 1930s. The introduction of the first pharmacologically approved remedy for impotence, sildenafil (trade name Viagra), in the 1990s caused a wave of public attention, propelled in part by heavy advertising.The Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina. It is now mostly replaced by more precise terms. The study of erectile dysfunction within medicine is covered by andrology, a sub-field within urology. - Saajid - 06/05/2012 05:05
Is there any way you can publish an aegrave wage to area statistic, for example, Tel Aviv: Hi= ???, Low= ???, Average= ???. I am sure this would be helpfull for those who are negotiating wage increases and are often told oh thats the wage they pay in Tel Aviv, you won't find anything close to that in our area. - Carine - 06/05/2012 04:38
Gloria, not all feminists are so trtnuisg of the medical establishment as you seem to be. At the risk of sounding loopy myself, I will embrace controversy and assert that all vaccines are dangerous to those who react badly to them. The HPV vaccines are no exception. Or do you also consider the distraught parents mentioned in loopy and outlandish?Fears over reactions to cervical cancer jabPublished on Sunday 31 May 2009 22:13MORE than 150 girls in Scotland have suffered adverse reactions after receiving the cervical cancer vaccine introduced last autumn, The Scotsman can reveal.Campaigners are calling for the vaccination programme to be suspended, claiming there are unanswered questions about the long-term effectiveness and safety of Cervarix. They are concerned that official information refers to mild side-effects, when some girls have reported serious reactions to the jab.The families of six girls in England are suing GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the maker of Cervarix, after the girls suffered severe reactions resulting in partial paralysis, seizures and chronic fatigue. The Scotsman has learned two more have contacted the same solicitor after suffering severe painful swelling of joints.The Scottish Government and GSK insist the number of adverse reactions experienced is in line with any mass vaccination programme. However, an investigation by The Scotsman has also discovered the guidance sent out on the 64 million vaccination programme was changed in several respects before being distributed to parents – after the intervention of a drug company.Gardasil has also been implicated in some deaths, though of course Merck denies it had anything to do with it. What exactly did Rep. Bachmann say about the HPV vaccine that you consider loopy and outlandish? That was one of the few occasions when I thought she made some sense, but after catching major flak, she was not willing to maintain her position. Merck has advertised this vaccine as a cervical cancer vaccine, which is highly misleading at best. I could call that claim loopy and outlandish, but it was actually a shrewd move to capitalize on the fears of women, to convince parents and politicians this usually innocuous extremely common virus is so dangerous every girl must be vaccinated against some of its strains that are linked to cervical cancer. Need I reel off some of the other ways conventional medicine has endangered the health of women and girls?More to the point of your post, I think Romney is unstoppable. He managed to pull off an upset in Iowa, and I think the next several primaries will be easier for him. If the economy goes into a double dip recession, which seems almost unavoidable, I expect he will be the next President. - Daiana - 06/05/2012 02:19
Feel your pain here. I wish for you best of luck while selfishly hopnig misfortune on hundreds of your competitors.I try to be as optimistic as I can, but gosh, I certainly hope my friends and family were optimistic too:- "Why don't we move to Silicon Valley in the first place?"--- I wish I have the money...blame Uncle T for getting us to this boring place!- "Why don't you try Korea, like your Asian classmates?"--- I can't bow, I don't smoke and I don't drink!- "Don't just stay at home at your websites! Take a walk and look outside!"--- How will I answer my calls! AT&T just shut down my nearest cell tower... subway is overcharged and it is underground most of the time.- "Why don't you lower your standards! At least get a job at McDonalds!"--- I don't have a Master's degree for Big-Macology--- Hiring Managers would think: so you wasted time flipping burgers for two years? BYE-NEXT!- "Why don't you apply for a PhD degree?"--- I own the Wall Street pigs money just to get my Masters, I wish they could have PAID me for that!- "Instead of spending the whole day looking, why don't you read books and write some software?"--- I am too busy looking for a job, no time for final exams!/ A Sudoku game? BYE-NEXT!- "Why don't you check out ALL the Wall Street firms?"--- They are NOT hiring!/ They are only looking to fill headcounts! (Hindus and interns)- "Why not consider a career change? It's a good time to become a stock broker..."--- I could open a restaurant, and that reminds me the chef who knew COBOL and the waiter who was once a pathology professor in China... - Lama - 06/05/2012 01:50
You can use it, but you have to disclose the loan when you apply for the mogrgate. Then when your lender works out your maximum borrowing amount, the loan (or repayments) will be taken into consideration and effectively reduce what you can borrow.The reason why most people do not do this, is that 100% mogrgates are available and given that they have lower interest charges than personal loans (typically) and the terms are longer, people tend to go down this route to keep their initial monthly repayments to a minimum.So yes you can do it, but it will cause the amount you can borrow to reduce and probably cost you more than a 100% loan. - Ashley - 04/05/2012 10:52
Yeah, I'll probably sit down when I have a litlte spare time and do it. Needs to be cleaned up (like read MySQL info from the WordPress config file instead of hardcoding it, and maybe some instructions). Also I would really need to make it all in one so it brings in posts too (the one that comes with WordPress SUCKS and doesn't work very well). - Anastasiya - 04/05/2012 09:04
A slimpe and intelligent point, well made. Thanks! - Carl - 04/05/2012 08:30

@Tom: Maryland is still hundred times bteetr than Delaware. Man, I couldn't drive through THAT state fast enough. @RovingPoet: I may be able to move around my work days to get some extra time off for that weekend. I have to see, the famous Red Lion Inn is already booked up there, so I'd have to stay elsewhere, maybe a bed and breakfast. As far as New England Christmas villages go, it does seem hard to top Stockbridge. :-D@TJSharky: I definitely want to visit NH, but Mommy would get upset about me driving that far in the snow. And Lord knows I can't worry my Mommy too much. - Poonam - 03/05/2012 16:08
Hi Mike,Yes, we can extract that iromnoatifn from the survey connecting people who say they work in Tel Aviv with how much they say they earned. This does not tell us WHO the person is in Tel Aviv, so the survey remains anonymous. I am going to do my best to post the rest of the survey and these details next week. I've thankfully been overwhelmed with work and classes but have a break over Chanukah. I'll do my best to get it up on the site soon, as well as previous surveys. I'm also planning to write an article for the MEGAComm conference magazine analyzing over a year's worth of results and post more info in it. And we will run another survey before the conference and make it a bit more detailed (not a lot), and present that at MEGAComm as well. I was talking to someone here about also providing a hand-out of the results at the conference not sure yet, but interested in the idea. We'll see. Obviously, after the conference, we'll also make this info available on the site.Paula - Tommy - 03/05/2012 08:18
Gary,Your points are valid, but video has its place in web-based coctunimamions. When done correctly, video can be the most emotional and effective medium for communicating online and it doesn't need to take a long time. We believe that video is going through an evolution online from a linear, passive, broadcast medium to a non-linear, conversational and personalized one. Check out the and you'll see just how well video can be used in a web-based context. A quick 2 minute video captures the romance of the city while inviting you to explore in more detail the various neighborhoods as you desire.I would argue that most online video is the equivalent of the brochureware we saw back in the early days of the web. Video producers need to rethink how they produce content to fully take advantage of the interactive story-telling capabilities offered by the web.Matt KaplanChief Strategy OfficerPermissionTV - Ayseli - 03/05/2012 08:09
Okay, this is called Spy-ware. Most spy-ware prgmoars can get rid of that. Spy-ware hijacks your toolbar and they monitor every site you go to. This is not good if you have personal information on your computer and just not right to do to people. Did it come installed on your computer? If you want you can E-mail me and I could help you. This has happened to me and I understand, it PISSED ME OFF too. My E-mail . Don't worry you can fix it. - Chandan - 03/05/2012 06:46
A better soiutlon would be to revamp Social Security, which has become the nation's biggest entitlement'.The very same people who complain about social welfare programs' for single mothers, unemployeds, homeless and hungry citizens are the ones who collect Social Security, whether they need it or not.Social Security was intended as an insurance plan' to protect those who reached their golden years without sufficient financial resources to survive. Instead, it's turned into an entitlement' that everyone believes they deserve just because they've paid into it .I know people with net worths in excess of a million dollars, people who drive luxury cars, own multiple homes, go on extended lavish vacations, and have various income sources that still think they ought to get a Social Security check. Social Security is just like any other insurance: if you pay monthly premiums for house insurance, you won't collect unless you lose your home in a fire or some other accident. If you pay monthly car insurance premiums, you hope you never have an accident and have to file a claim. Similarly, you should pay into Social Security while you're working in hopes that you'll have sufficient funds on which to live without claiming any Social Security benefits. IF you're one of those who are unfortunate enough to not have any assets at age 65, then and only then should you be entitled to receive Social Security.I live in a senior retirement community. My neighbor collects four different pensions, worth $5000 a month, and STILL plans to apply for Social Security when he turns 65. That's nothing but sheer greed.Those of us who are fortunate enough to have acquired sufficient assets on which to enjoy a comfortable retirement should be PROUD to help those who aren't as fortunate. But, instead, we continue to plunder and pillage the Social Security program until it will, almost certainly, eventually be bankrupt. And then we'll sit back and say, Gee, I wonder why my kids and grandkids don't get any Social Security? The answer will be simple: because YOU stole it all from them (even though you had plenty of money to live on). Killing off the baby boomers isn't the answer; it's not even cost-efficient, because it will result in massive litigious actions of unimaginable consequences. Reforming Social Security and returning it to its original intent is, by far, the best final' soiutlon.-RKO- 08/09/09 - Selin - 25/02/2012 08:04
