CGI is doing pretty well with 3D these days. Every movie I see, it gets a little better. See it in 3-D, it's closer to reality. 2D is like going through life with an eyepatch on. Likely, in the future, almost every movie and game will be 3D.

This is a world class program. Tony shows you ways to modify the exercises to make them a little easier at first,as you work your way up to proper form (e.g. resting a foot on a chair while you do pull-ups). There is no question that doing this program will get you in shape, but you have to follow it religiously. The hardest part is forcing yourself to do it on the days when you really don't feel like it, but you never regret it when you do.

-A partial set of dumbells will work (I only use 3 different weights).

- Pull-up bar is essential. (If you're thinking of using the bands instead of a pull-up bar, you need something to string them over. It turns out, the perfect thing to string them over is...oh wait...a pull-up bar.)

- With all the gear, cost is probably around $200 (that's about 6 months worth of gym dues, after that you're saving money).

Though not a real-time fighting scheme, if you haven't played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, I think that would be a great place to start. It's an older game, but still loads of fun. Oblivion is an awesome game, but may be a little daunting, given its open-endedness and size, to an RPG newb. Perhaps, something more linear, like Fable 2 or Mass Effect, which both havereal-time battles, would suit your needs.

Well, what are you most willing to tolerate: the persistent, gnawingpain of being hungry; or the intense, temporary pain of vigorous exercise? No matter what, self-discipline and suffering must be involved in weight loss. If I had a goal weight in mind, and some motivation, I would limit my diet exclusively to fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat proteins (e.g. fish, soy, whey), fat-free dairy, and whole grains (e.g. brown rice, whole wheat bread); and, I would throw in some moderate exercise each day (e.g. 45 mins of cycling, 20 mins of swimming, 45 mins of high repetition weight lifting, running in place for 30 mins,whatever...), until I reached my desired weight. After you've reached your goal weight, it only takes weighing yourself daily, and a little bit of discomort each day to maintain it (e.g. one less cookie, no potato chips with lunch, etc...).

Bottom line: CALORIES IN < CALORIES BURNED --> SUFFERING.

Check this out:

- Niven's Law: "If the universe of discourse permits the possibility of time travel and of changing the past, then no time machine will be invented in that universe." (Larry Niven)

- "Suppose it is easy to send messages to the past, but that forward causality also holds (i.e. past events determine the future). In one way of reasoning about it, a message sent to the past will "alter" the entire history following its receipt, including the event that sent it, and thus the message itself. Thus altered, the message will change the past in a different way, and so on, until some "equilibrium" is reached--the simplest being the situation where no message at all is sent. Time travel may thus act to erase itself." ( Moravec, Hans. "Time Travel and Computing", 1991.)

- Novikov self-consistency principle: "If an event exists that would give rise to a paradox, or to any "change" to the past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero." (Friedman, John, Novikov, Igor, et al. "Cauchy problem in spacetimes with closed timelike curves." Physical Review (1990) 42: 1915.)

These theories, of course, do not go against future time travel.

Both certainly have their strong points. In terms of scope and creativity, I think Star Wars prevails. Whereas, Star Trek dominateshardcore sci-fi nerddom (I mean that in a good way).

Agreed. So much talent gone to waste...
