| Same here. Filters and programs like NetNanny might be what you want, but mostly they can be stopped easily: The person has admin status -> bleh Person can boot from a disk or a CD, if the BIOS is not protected -> bleh (And even if, removed the battery, no BIOS password anymore  ) -> blehNot every image might apply on the filters. If an image is named hotsex.bmp, it might work, but largemoomoo.bmp or longjohn.bmp will not work  Give no person admin status if possible. This might not block adult images, but can prevent damaging the computer; or remove their internet access powers if they do that too often. |

| There are also smaller subnotebooks, but on the other hand not optimal for everything, due to their probably lower fixed screen resolution and/or the viewing angle (if it has a low-class display). The optimal pair might be a desktop and a notebook. And in summer, I woudn't mind playing games like Doom 3. First, someone needs concentration, second, you might not see too well in dark scenes and high-illuminated rooms and third, people might look weird if you played Doom 3, for example inside a train. Okay, a notebook has really nice advantages, but also you have to be very careful. Unlike at desktops, coffee inside the keyboard can be fatally or damaged hinges are very expensive, after the warranty period ends. |

| Not to mention the inbalanced easy final battle, when hitting Bowser with a hammer |

| DKC2, too. It's one of the games you are gathering tons of lives, losing them again etc. Every level had an own new idea or a new barrel/item/pet was introduced. Great, that originality did it very well with the kick-ass level-design and very well-balanced increasing difficulty  It took me quite a while to beat levels like "Toxic Tower" or to defeat the really innovative sword boss  And no to mention the Lost World - "Fuzzy Furnace" without a gamepad can be insanely hard  Also the music was superior, although DKC had some nice tracks (Factory, cave themes, ice track) "Hot-Head Bop" (ID3 tag name of the DKC2-SPC, no it doesn't seems to be a spelling mistake  ) is my most favourite track from the entire game. |

| I never installed any toolbard and similar things. The fastest browser on earth might be Lynx, since it is a text browser and doesn't display images. I thought these opinions on ZDnet might be a joke, but that article showed be the proof. I don't do any business, but having seen someone just getting my account (supposed I'd install Google Accelerator and use it) in a forum  ?If it got hacked, okay, but losing that much of privacy sucks. |

| There are common programs for getting these (which I won't use but maybe you have a slightly better chance to find something), and I even got a working ISO on a page (my Vagrant Story CD works except the intro movie; even IsoBuster couldn't extract everything; it is stuck in my PSone and even the image in ePSXe ), so try searching a little more |

| I don't have cookies in ebay and such, so even if someone got my cookies, it wouldn't bother. I may be banned in some forums if an account got found (but (!) cookies =! bookmarks - and who might want to search tons of them for forums ?). But then there is email and messengers, so you might contact the admins to unblock you, with chaning the password of course But the security leaks and malfunctionting things get fixed anyway soon. That's what I love about Firefox' developers |

| There should be a very small hole which can be pushed with something like the inner of a biro to open the drawer. If not, a reboot should work for sure. Other than else: Does this happen to CD-Rs too and how old is the drive ? |

| Another way might be using a connection via infrared, if your cell phone has it. Connections via IrDA should know every laptop, and for desktop PCs there are adapters for that. It is not that fast, but you can use it with almost every infrared device, so also later cell phones won't require a new cable for that. |

| I have SaGa Frontier II, it is very much similar to SF1 ? On the other hand I love Romancing SaGa 3, and though the following parts never payed that much attention to me, it is nice to have challenging RPGs. I finished RS3 but later on I stopped playing SF2. I like also the music and the idea of learning techniques in battle only, what also applies to SaGa 1 (edited by Surlent on 05-13-05 02:18 AM) |

| I just had that idea because I'm currently really addicted to Star Ocean 2 which is impressing me in many ways. Although it features a lot of ideas, it is like many other RPGs: - Endless battles - the same music over and over again (although the battle track is awesome and doesn't go on your nervers - like FF7's "Fighting" track for example. Then there's boss-battles, the obvious shops which sell a lot of armor, enemies give more EXP and Fol later and so on. The newer jump and runs also have mostly similar ideas. Like in a 3D jump and run with analoge stick control you'll have to walk over very small parts over a huge abyss od doom, facing a turtle with spikes on its back again and again ... so mostly the same things over and over How do you stand that ? As for me, it really depends on the game. In RPGs which I mostly play, it is easy and mostly affected by two factors for me. First are fast loading battles and second, a not too heavy battle track which might be worn out after a short time already. So in Final Fantasy I didn't like some parts which have a long introduction where I anyway want to run. Then you'll have to wait at least one or two enemy attacks when not leveled up - this goes on my nerves. Combined with an insanely high encounter rate is deadly for my motivation when the dungeons' sizes might exceed some borders with not too many save points and/or too high item consumption. So games like Valkyrie Profile or Star Ocean have fast battles, the music in VP is always making the battle something celestial; since the battles can be over pretty fast, they are not annoying as long affecting the bonus dungeon (where are monsters of being really worth spoken of "enemies" ), in SO2 the battle track is a kind of techno-type. It is nothing special, but begins very slowly and doesn't distract too much attention.Same with FF9. The loading times are not that bad along with the nice music. In jump and runs it is the change. Games like the Donkey Kong Country series impress me anytime again and again. Level ideas get introduced or a new item (a new type of barrel for example), then there will be combinations needed later like that "press y - when falling - jump" combination. And as long the level is not unfair (no midway points are insane in uber-long levels), I like that. So it is the package the game is put into for me, what it says about motivation. New graphics alone are boring, but if you put only few, but very good ideas into the sequel/similar game, I won'T say anything even when the levels/tactics itself are not too much changed to other games. How about you ? Are you tired about lacking ideas in many games (not every game, like the mentioned Star Ocean series for exaple) or do you simply don't care ? |

| I never saw a person pronouncing/"speaking" something like XD, LOL, ROFL and such outside. And since mostly only Internet users know the abbreviation, the joke will be ridicously an insider-one It's a name like every other one, also I won't laugh my cousin has a xD picture memory card, put it into her camera and sent the images to my computer. |

| Windows XP SP2 also might be a problem, since the number of simultaneous connections/requests got reduced. There are ways tweaking the registry and a patch to fix that, but since I won't guarantee anything when someone is working inside the registry (where Windows can be messed up easily when not properly edited) or the patch does have other effects than expected. It also might be a NAT problem, this happens usually when you have yellow status icons in BitTorrent and similar versions all the time instead of green ones. I have very low download rates in Azureus, but with BitTornado and in Shareaza it is pretty good. Yesterday I downloaded a 105 MB file for about 105 KB/s (1024bkps connection), while I had 100+ sources |

| Very nice,there are good ideas inside this hack. The difficulty level is just right - and the mini-castles/fortresses. Then there's toyed with the rising/sinking levels - or that (even if short and not too hard) level with Big Bill who can swallow you even if you're big |

| My Lufia II save still works: 97 hours of time, about 39 or 40 different items from the Ancient Cave (I even found two Gades Blades plus the one regularly in the game), plus beaten the Master Jelly. I HATE Gold Dragons But before my SNES liked to delete the Lufia II saves, well ... |

| Difficulty in RPGs also is a another question, since it just the level difference mostly. Sure, in Star Ocean 2 I cannot beat a strong enemy with 130.000 HP and insanely high stats, but go on, say level 150, and it will be considerably easier Mario Bros. was very hard for me, it was my first game ever. A long time 4-1 was my most hated leve, along with 6-3 and 6-4. Then there were world 8 - and the very-strict time limit of only 300 and no midway point drained out my power very soon. It tooke two full months to beat the game - to get rewarded by some lines of text and looping music  As for Zelda OoT - I had problems with some of the riddles, like the Water Temple. I didn't find Din's Fire and obiviously had problems entering the Shadow Temple, yes. The same thing with that barrier where these spikes are moving towards you (the Big Key is in that room) - until I called a friend who told me to use Din's Fire too here. But as for the enemies - except for the really innovative Shadow Temple boss - the most ones were easy. I died sometimes though, but how often I died in the dungeons in AlttP - just need to mention the seventh dungeon in the Shadow World; meh, that two-headed turtle |

Originally posted by Kasumi Skywalker The first time in OoT's Forest Temple I didn't realize four or five times in a row - what exacetly happened - and, in SNES and NES it was even worse because that damn hand fell on you again and again, even if you killed it Other than that: Gold Dragons in Lufia II - argh, these nasty annoying things took me away a lot of days when I was in the Ancient Cave - ten hours and you was not prepared once: Three "Star Dust" in a row - even on Level 80 you were dead |
