Teach Yourself Martial Arts? Is It Really Possible?
FLaKes replied to Webber's topic in General Discussion
It depends what you mean by teach yourself. If you mean teachyourself, like buying a book, dvds, etc, teaching yourself with that material, I bet if you are concentrated and dedicated enough, you will learn martial arts. It does not mean you might be the best at it, but you will definitely learn something. But in no way will it ever compare to taking classes with a professional and experienced martial arts instructor. -
Crackslinger online text based game (sorta...)
FLaKes replied to tdktank59's topic in Computer Gaming
I was going to play, but I just didnt feel like siging up for something right now, maybe Ill give it a try some other time. It looks like it is going to be a funny and fun game. -
They are really cool, most of those clocks. What I really found Interesting about time though, is that where I live it is 3:15 right now, and when I looked at the clock that features the time from around the world, I noticed that every clock in the world has atleast one hand pointing at the 3, (either :15 or 3:).

I do suppose those things are real, but I wont fully believe in them until I actually experience something like that. I have heard and been told such things like that. I have also investigated a few things because of my curiosity. I found out about a couple of not so normal things that you can do with your mind. Just like the impressive things that I have read the monks in asia can do, and about that dreaming thing, I think you should look for Lucid Dreams. There is a great forum at a page called: http://www.ld4all.com/ I mean, it is not hard to believe, if experts all around the world have agreed that we have only been able to use about 10% of our brain. What other secrets can the other estimated 90% do?

There are a lot of reasons why people make malware, they can make it so that they can lure you in to traps, they can also lure you into buying some products you dont even need. In the end its all just to mess you up in anyway they can think of. The people that make it probably have a bunch of time in their hands.

Like all new technology, it is expensive, I guess we will just have to wait and see who wins the next generation optical storage battle. From what I have read, the hd-dvd will probably win the battle because of sony's past experiences, and the cost efectiveness of the hd dvd. Not everyone will have the money to upgrade to blueray, or even buy the playstation 3. We will just have to wait and see, but most people are going to end up upgrading to one of these in the end. And a couple of years later you can expect another thing like this to happen again, and again.

Coke_mentos_explosive coke and mentos have a highly explosive reaction
FLaKes replied to Abhay's topic in General Discussion
Well, I had not heard of something like this. They dont even sell mentos here in Mexico, but it would really be cool to try that out. I wonder if you would end up throwing up or something if you swallow both at the same time, lol. -
Poll Vote On Popular Online Games Which Online Game Do You Perfer?
FLaKes replied to cgrim29588's topic in Computer Gaming
I gues I would have to have played all of those game to decide which would be my favorite one, so thats why I voted for other. I dont always have time to play a game so I havent even bothered to try a new one, games I like playing sparingly are quake 3, civilization IV, warcraft III and counterstrike. -
I would totally hate to live in a game, Imagine repeating everything over and over after a couple of hours, after every reset, every continue, etc. It would really be like being stuck in the Matrix and everything happens over and over again. Though in the game you would be very limited to do just whats programmed for you to do. I would much rather play the games, instead of living in them. Why even bother to wish living in it? Why not just try and live it in a lucid dream?

I remember asking the optometrist of whatever he is called, and he recommended that I dont use them for over 10 or 12 hours continously. That I should wear my glasses after using them after 10 or 12 hours of continuous use. If I have for some reason to wear them longer, there are these drops of lubricating solution which I should use. Sure there are some contact lenses that allow you to sleep with the lenses but they are also more expensive and not recommended, because you should let your eyes take a break from the lenses. Overall, you should avoid wearing them for too long.

I dont remember the brand of the first computer we had, it could have been barebone build by my dad. I remember I was like 6 years old, and I liked to play computer games, so my dad explained the basics to me. It was just DOS back then, and it was really cool because I had to figure out how to install, and run new games, and even download some from a bbs. That was really cool, I remember games like the whole commander keen series, the duke nukem, crystal caves, donkey kong, etc.

The most painful thing that has ever happened to me, was getting stung by a stingray, which happened by the end of April beginning of May. I went with my cousins to a beach on vacations and on the second day, I was just out in the sea for the first time, I wasnt even far away from the coast, then I felt like I had cut myself with like a sharp rock or broken glass that could have been on the ocean. I lifted my foot to observe it and I found out that it was really cut, then I was like, well what a nice way to ruin a vacation, I probably wont be able to walk for a few days. But that wasnt the worst part, I told my uncle I had cut my foot, he was a couple of feet away from me, and when he saw my foot he told me to get out of the ocean and that he was going to go for first aid. As I was getting out of the ocean, my aunt asked to see it, and when she examined it, a gush of blood poured out, then all the pain started. My wound started feel like it was burning, and lots and lots of blood started coming out. Luckily she know first aid, so she told me to lay back on the sand while she lifted my foot pressing hard on the wound. My uncle came with a first aid kit, and they were still pressing hard on the wound with a piece of cotton soaked in alcohol (which didnt hurt compared to the sting rays poison).When the bleeding was a bit controlled, they took me to the hospital, were the shots of antivenom and anesthesia couldnt do anything to relieve the pain, so I was like suffering for about 2 hours, until the pain wore away.

I think we should make a sticky thread on the gamers arena forum with all the free games we have found so far, such as gunz the duel, tremulous, etc. It would be nice to find the thread instead of searching for games, which is pretty hard since there are many threads already.

It looks great, though I think the reflection of the chrome looks kind of wierd, I like the tire texture, how long did it take you?

On Why Java Is 'c'ooler! additions / criticisms invited
FLaKes replied to saint's topic in Programming
I dont know Java, at least yet. But there is one thing that is for sure that can be added to the why java is cooler list. It is that there is a high amount of job opportunities for it, I read it on this link: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/HP-TouchPad-Needs-68-Weeks-for-Additional-Shipments-142584 In it you can see it compared with 10 other languages, including .Net, and you can see that in that investigation it is numer one in job opportunities. So I think that makes it a lot cooler than the rest. -
The first phone and only one I have ever had is a sony ericsson w810. It has all I need, and yes it is beautifull and has god graphics. I dont use the camera for printing, I only use it for web and computer graphics so it is perfect, the pictures also look good for using them as a desktop wallpaper. You can really get good photos when there is good lighting, when there is bad lighting you can notice them getting grainy. The music I can carry on it is awesome, I dont think Ill upgrade atleast in another year or year and a half.

Well, from whats been going on in schools over the past decade, I can definitely come to the conclusion that students will not be afraid of school teachers being aliens or something like that anymore. They should be afraid of the person who gets picked on the most or who has other types of problems. I thought Canada was more like a peacefull place.

Interracial Relationship Will you accept it?
FLaKes replied to darran's topic in Dating And Relationships
I think it is perfectly ok, it is all a matter of personal preference. I really hate categorizing and discrimination. It is what makes us believe we cant like a person from a different color, a song from a different genre, etc... It is what causes all types of wars and fights. -
I wonder were this computer in which im typing will be by that year. I seriously have no clue, but I bet computers are going to be a whole lot more different by that time, maybe they may even be 256 bit by then or something like that. Who knows?

Microsoft Employee's Use Firefox heres the proof
FLaKes replied to Saint_Michael's topic in Software
Lol, I seriously cannot understand why they would do something like that. I like firefox a lot, mainly because I hate having all these explorer windows all over the place, the tabbed browsing is really cool. I heard Ie 7 is going to have that too, Ie7 is probably going to copy a lot more things from firefox, as it is doing with vista. -
I dont think that that will ever be fixed. It really was like a bomb, the target was aimed at, and they totally hit it. The damage has been done, and I dont think it can be fixed unless google is forced to do so, and if it was it would have already been fixed since it has been online for quite some time now.

Poll Here:do You Love,hate,like, Dragon Ball Z? What do you pick?
FLaKes replied to lud@m@n's topic in General Discussion
The first time I saw it I really thought it was entertaining, and funny. Krillin and goku (when they were kids) were really funny. The Anime had a lot of humor, it was really comic and funny. Then came the Dragonball Z, which I thought was ok, but I never liked it as much as the first series, it wasnt nearly as funny, well actually it kind of is. Mr. Satan and Mayin bu are really funny also. Overall I think it is one of the best Animes ever made.
