Self-inflating Tires Self-inflating Systems
Arigato replied to bonniecool's topic in Science and Technology
Yes, this does sound like a very good invention that could save alot of lives. It looks like the car has to be specially built with this system in it. Strange how I haven't heard about this before. Do these type of tires exist or are they plans for the future? -
Heard Of Cryonics ? like austin powers
Arigato replied to bonniecool's topic in Science and Technology
This is likely possible, however I don't think we will be seeing this technology in our lifetime. The current problem with freezing the body is that when ice crystals form they damage the cells of the body. The people that have already been frozen probably won't be comming back. When scientists find a better way to freeze people then maybe it could happen. -
Leaving Trash In Public Places The rant of a cleaning lady.
Arigato replied to pensive-muse's topic in The Vent
I am against littering, I think it's very disgusting. Not only does it create more work for the people that have to clean it up but it make the enviroment look ugly. I don't see why people do it, all you have to do it put the trash in your pocket or hold it until you get to a garbage can. Just goes to show how lazy some people can be for things so simple. -
I plan on getting a psp soon, it seems to be worth what it costs. I'm most intrested in the fact that you can access the internet with it. It would be a great gadget to have when I'm in a position where there is nothing to do such as waiting for a bus.

I use gmail as my main email provider. It is very simple to use, the interface is clean and they give more space than i'll ever need for just sending text messages. Also, I find the gmail search feature very convenient and it has saved me alot of time.

Internet Explorer And Web Standards The harm IE does to Web
Arigato replied to eXtreme's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Internet Explorer can be a nightmare sometimes when it comes to web design. It would be so much easier if they would follow standards. I can't even count the amount of times I've thought "If there wasn't an Internet Explorer this would be so much easier." I also hate the fact that some people create layouts that only work in IE and I have to switch browsers to go on it. Hopefully the next major release of Internet Explorer will be more standards compliant. -
Redesign Gmail Webmail Site? Should google redesign their gmail site?
Arigato replied to dymondgurl's topic in The Internet
I don't think gmail needs a redesign at all. There is nothing wrong with it. It's simplistic, the color scheme makes things stand out, the navigation is simple and easy to understand, it's a fast loading layout, there is no clutter of unnecessary content and it works in almost all browsers. Sure they could make it look better but google more about simplicity and being user friendly than visual appeal. -
Along with these ads sun microsystems also had a plane fly over the dell headquaters with a banner saying "sun's go an x64 server. Watch out dell!" Just goes to shows that the employees there were having a little fun.

I haven't seen any major improvements from windows xp to vista that would make me purcahse it. To me it just looks like an unessisary re-write of the windows operating sytem. Perhaps I will change my mind when it is released and I can see what it can do.

Where did you hear about this? This sounds like it could be fake because alot of the materials that make a CD are non-editable and there aren't any editable substitutes. Even if this were real it wouldn't be a very good idea because there can be a ton of dust inside a computer and eating dust probably isn't very healthy.

Alot of my friends are always asking me to help them fix computer problems and it does get very fustrating. But while you are helping them you can always teach them a few things and they can do things themselves later on if they encounter the same problem. I don't mind helping friends too much because after they usually treat me to a meal.

Desile Cars Can Run On Olive Oil! did u know that
Arigato replied to tdktank59's topic in Science and Technology
Running a car off olive oil probably wouldn't be the best idea. Where I live olive oil can be quite expensive, more than gasoline and it probably wouldn't be very effecient. Also the emissions are probably quite unclean.If we want to help the enviroment we should be looking at cars that run off electricity or hydrogen. -
Here is another easter egg (literally!) from google: https://www.google.com/doodles This one is quite old though.

I had tried out the google we accelerator for a while and it says that I've saved about 2 mins of time in the 2 hours I had been using it but I couldn't tell the difference. I also heard that there were problems of some people being logged in as others for certain sites so I just uninstalled it.

Web Browsers Safest Internet Web Browsers
Arigato replied to Antihack's topic in Security issues & Exploits
I think that opera is the safest browser due to the reason that it isn't used as much as the other browsers and because of this it isn't a common target for people to exploit. But Opera probably does have alot unknown security problems that are yet to be discovered. -
If someone wants to ruin their hearing, then by all means let them. Later in life they will suffer a concequence that they can only blame themselves for. It's much worse than anything you could do to them.I also see why people like to turn up the volume so high. Whenever I listen with headphones I have an urge to turn up the volume but I don't, I just stop listening.

I used to cuss alot in my younger years. After comming to a realization of how stupid I sounded cussing I stopped. My friends used to cuss alot too, but I got them to stop.I don't mind cussing too much if something really bad just happened to a person and they need to release feelings through words. It's the people who just cuss just for the sake of being stupid that annoys me, it's strange how these people are oblivious to how stupid they sound when the are doing it.

I have a samsung syncmaster 930b LCD monitor, it was the best 19" monitor available at the nearby computer store when I purchased it and I'm very happy with it. It has 8ms response time and high contrast. Not too long later a similar monitor came out with a 4ms response time. I personally can't tell the difference between a 8ms and 4ms response time so 8ms is good enough for me.Before I purchased an LCD I had a CRT. There was a big different in terms of my eye conditions. Before when I went on the computer early in the morning after I got out of bed it would burn for a few seconds and when staying on the computer for a long time my eyes would get really tired. That doesn't happen to me anymore with the LCD monitor.

I play runescape as kind of a backup game for when I'm bored of everything else and have some time to kill. There is alot of in runescape to do and the game is growing very fast which is one of the thing I like most about runescape.

My favorite game is ragnarok online. I have played it for many years and it was the first good MMORPG that I tried. There it tons to do in the game and there are many people to make friends with there.After ragnarok my favorite RPG's are the legend of zelda games. I have been a big zelda fan and I have played every game released.

I used to play maple story too, It was fun and the graphics were nice. However I found that the game was quite limited. I haven't played in a while so possibly they added alot more content now that it is out of the beta stage.
-
The first thing I look for when it comes to a MMORPG is that there is that there are alot of players online at any given point in time. Also, I look for games that aren't laggy, nothing kills an online game more than lag. Next I see if the game has unique elements that make it better in a certain aspect from other games and some other typical things such reasonable leveling system, large variety of monsters, quests, equipment, skills and items. A party or guild system to encourage player cooperation would also be a big plus. Then finally I look at graphics.
-
My favorite genres is mmorpg's. I've made tons of friends playing these games and it's alot of fun to work together and help eachother out. Another reason I like MMORPG's is that I like the concept of being able to build up a character, unlike other games you have something to show for all the time spent playing.

I rarely drink any alcohol and encourage othe people not to drink alcohol. I really dislike the taste of beer, I don't see how it can really be enjoyed. However I like like certain wines.
