Thanks to the diminishing playgrounds.

Just imagine most of these games involve killing people on the press of a button and having control over a hero featured in the game. There is a big element of ‘control over the cyber world’ reflected through these games. And the best part is every time the hero risks his life and dies; all you need to do is to restart the game to give him re-birth and start all over again. Easy, isn’t it?</P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;"><BR></P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;">Cartoon games provide personal gratification. Beating and killing an enemy in the game is more gratifying than watching them on videos or movies. This is proved to be more satisfying for people who have less control over their own lives. Cartoon games also are a mode of escapism. You escape for a limited period from the worries and tensions of the real world.</P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;"><BR></P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;">Certain <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><A HREF="http://www.joecartoon.com/">cartoon games</A></U></FONT> also reflect ones interest in history.

Some also say that the first motorcycle was built by Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1867. In 1894, the first motorcycle available for purchase, built by Hildebrand &amp; Wolfmüller. Many bicycle manufacturers adapted their bicycle designs to accommodate the then new internal combustion engines. As engines became more powerful, the designs outgrew the bicycle origins. And the number of motorcycle producers increased. So did the types of motorcycles- street bikes, choppers, cruisers, naked bikes, sport bikes, touring motorcycle, underbones, motocross bikes, supermotos, trials motorcycles, dual-sports, endure, adventure touring, etc. The list goes on. Of all the types of motorcycles, trial motorcycle is less known. Trial motorcycles are distinctive in design and build; extremely sleek, short &amp; lightweight, lack seating since they are designed to be ridden standing up and have a short suspension travel in comparison to a motocross or enduro motorcycle. There are no street motorcycles which resemble a trial bike. These are purpose built machines to negotiate extremely tough terrains or obstacle courses. Major manufacturers of trials bikes are Gas Gas, Beta, Sherco, Montesa Honda, and Scorpa. Like any other type of motorcycling event- MotoGP, Superbikes, Motocross, Endurance Racing, etc., motorcycle trials is also an event. ‘Motorcycle trials’ is a non-speed event held on both natural and man-made obstacle courses. The event can be held both outdoor or indoors. Riders have to ride through the course in a designated route without putting their feet down. The total distance covered can be measured in meters- the focus is on the rider’s ability and bikes agility unlike other motorcycle events in which the focus is on speed and distance. The possible scores in each section are 0, 1, 2, 3, or 5. The score is zero points if a rider goes through the section without touching the ground with a foot. Score zero is also called &quot;cleaning the section.&quot; The score is one, two or three, when a rider touches the ground once, twice or thrice respectively— as long as the section is completed without stalling the engine, dismounting, going out of bounds or going backward. A rider gets five points for failing to complete the section, sometimes called &quot;a fiasco&quot;. The winner is the competitor with the least points. Trial bike events are very popular among auto enthusiasts in UK and Spain. ‘Trial des Nations’ is a world indoor and outdoor championship event. British rider Dougie Lampkin has won seven world outdoor titles. The current outdoor world champion is Antonio Bou of Spain who is also the current indoor champion.]]></description><category>Technology</category><author>ajax</author><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:02:56 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:226930</guid></item><item><title>Fashion then and now</title><link>http://trailfire.com/ajax/marks/226955</link><description><![CDATA[<P ID="zmr88" CLASS="MsoNormal">How does a fashion trend evolve?

You had to be satisfied with it, probably for a year or two, playing the same thing over and over again, until your father gets convinced that you require another one. It’s not the same now. Computers and internet have revolutionized the cartoon gaming industry.

But to an auto enthusiast, it means a world of things. ‘Car’ itself is a term that has varied levels of significance to different people. To some it is merely a mode of transportation, to others it is equivalent to a family member. But to a car enthusiast it implies everything. A common joke about auto enthusiasts goes like this. For the world ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’, but for car enthusiasts it is ‘Where there is a wheel, there is a way.’ If the general notion is that muscle car enthusiasts are by-products of modern-day cars, then that’s a mistake. Enthusiasm for muscle cars was born as early as the 60s when pioneers like Delorean created the muscle car revolution in the United States by designing the GTO, a muscle car, that’s the favorite of many even today. His creative ideas were responsible for many innovations in the later years. Today’s sports car industry would have been so different if not for this era of performance cars.

It relates to work that goes outside the country for production and execution. Offshoring work usually fulfils two main criteria that are important for the smooth flowing apparatus in a company. One is the economy of cost, and the other is the expertise factor. Most third world countries have offered cheap labor to Western countries since long. Outsourcing has existed even before the IT boom. Countries like America have had most of its goods manufactured by other nations with inexpensive manpower.

The offshore software vendors need to make sure they have the team with core competency, ready to take on work coming their way. The final product is first tested for quality assurance before it is handed over to the customer. Documents of software designs are also maintained for future reference. The software lifecycle involves a comprehensive step-by-step procedure that strives for perfection.

The Internet has given you that satisfaction. Therefore, almost every old friend is in touch with you and just about every family member too. But just about. So who would those exceptions usually be? The most obvious would be the elders in your family. That’s one crowd that may take a protracted time span to learn the ways of computers and emailing. Teach them how to email and their interest in computers will be generated automatically. Take the initiative and set up an email account for them yourself.</P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;">You start off first by being really patient and sensitive with them. At their age, they aren’t as sharp as you are. Find out about their preferences of an email address and the provider they’d like. In all likelihood, they wouldn’t have much of an idea. In such a circumstance, you give them a lowdown of the Internet and its players, and what could suit them best. When you finally decide on a provider, make sure you get an account with good features and a large storage space. They may not remember to delete mails frequently.</P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;">The next step would be to demonstrate how it’s done. Also, tell them how important it is to use a password that’s hard to crack (not so difficult that they can’t remember it either). Make them go through the process themselves, so they know what to do if they are interested in creating another email account later.</P><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in;">Most significantly, warn them about strange mails and junk.
