Chinese government mandating 3-hour caps on MMO playing

August 25th, 2005 danielchoe Comments off

This might actually help carshooter get somethings done.

The Chinese government is mandating that online game companies impose a three-hour consecutive play limit, with five-hour rests, on their players. Players who play longer than three hours lose levels and experience, and after five hours, your account is reset to newbie.

Game manufacturers are apparently cooperating, though it’s not clear from the article whether they’ll be expected to coordinate with one another to stop a gamer from switching from one game to the next as her three hours run out.

If gamers can indeed switch games and reset the clock, perhaps the game manufacturers see an opportunity here to capture some of their rivals’ customers, as gamers move from playing (and paying for) only one game at a time to playing several at once in three-hour chunks.

According to the Interfax news service, an official arm of the Chinese government, the system reduces the ability level of a player’s online game character if the game is played beyond the three-hour limit. Basically, play more than three hours and the system cuts a game character’s ability by half. Play more than five hours and the system reduces a game character’s ability to the lowest level possible.

Gamers must wait a minimum of five hours before returning to gameplay, or the system will not reset..

Microsoft “Genuine Advantage” cracked in 24h

August 25th, 2005 danielchoe Comments off

window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’
AV sez, “This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called ‘Genuine Advantage.’ It was cracked within 24 hours.”

Before pressing ‘Custom’ or ‘Express’ buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck=’all’)

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

synergy – one keyboard, one mouse, two (or more computers) with no switching…

August 9th, 2005 danielchoe Comments off

for a while now, i’ve been using a kmremote, a $20 program, that allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for both systems. here’s my setup:

- main computer is a pc running windowsxp
- laptop computer for travel (powerbook running osx)

so before, i would hit a hot key and would be able to control my powerbook via my pc keyboard and mouse. it was nice and worked well.

now, i’m trying a new program called synergy and essentially does the same thing – except that it’s open-source and allows me to simply drag my mouse over to my powerbook screen (no hotkey needed). it’s nice being able to just move my cursor over without having to press a hotkey.

here’s a rundown on it:

sleep deprivation=weight gain

August 4th, 2005 danielchoe Comments off

Researchers found that people who sleep two to four hours a night are 73% more likely to be obese than those who get seven to nine hours. Those who get five or more hours of sleep a night are 50% more likely to be obese than normal sleepers. Those who sleep six hours are 23% more likely to be obese.
Scientists have found that sleep deprivation increases levels of a hunger hormone and decreases levels of a hormone that makes you feel full. The effects may lead to overeating and weight gain.

It could explain why so many Americans who are chronically sleep-deprived also are overweight. And it could be part of the reason sleepy college students, new parents and shift workers pack on pounds.

Researchers say getting enough shut-eye might be a critical component of weight control. And nutritionists one day might routinely advise dieters to “sleep it off” as well as to cut calories and increase exercise.
