Are we still posting internet speeds

Sure as hell doesn't feel like it downloads that fast when I get stuff on steam :sigh:

Steam's download page, as far as I can tell, list the speed in mega-bytes (MB) per second (MB/S), while internet companies and speed detectors display mega-bits per second. 1 mega-bit per second is the equivalent to 1/8th of a mega byte. So, even if you have 100mbps you are downloading at about 12.5 Megabytes a second tops.

This is not true. Steam is one of the few sources that lets me download at 9+MB/s.
I can get 12MB/s downloads from Steam pretty easily.

If I use local servers in Melbourne it's actually a 25ms ping because of routing (usually Melb-Syd-Melb depending on providers/hosting) but I'll see 8-15ms to Sydney constantly. The upstream for me is probably the more important part of my connection, I could deal with 20-50Mb/s down, but the 1-3Mbs up most connections is loving horrible if you're uploading anything bigger than 20MB.

Also, ping won't matter much with SC when your character has 200ms lag purely due to the game. Connection ping is just icing on the cake, really.

Before you go into a fight you have to make sure you are well-hydrated, had a good meal and bowel movement (the toilet can now be accessed), slept well, carry enough oxygen, etc. Otherwise your commando's mitochondria may not produce ATP at 100% efficiency and his cardiovascular system will not be able to deliver energy-rich blood to all the modeled muscles -including the diaphragm- which will slow the oxygen intake even more.

In short, your stamina bar charges 10% more slowly. (You can buy special medicine at the cash-shop to prevent this)

Stimipens, anyone? To be later followed by Sleepipens so you can use your bunks.

With a well-developed breathing simulation the possibilities are endless, pledge now commando.

Tell the truth. You just can't wait to rape them once the poison gas kicks in. You can even use your knife to make a crotchless suit for easy access. You know it is inevitable, why fight it?

I hope Chris Roberts determines that breathing really should have a bigger impact on gameplay and that the player should control his (sorry no girls here) breathing and by practicing breathing you can use less air in stressful situations and therefore

I had to learn tcl when working for a hospital. We had an interface engine (a kind of middleware that routes communications between devices and the medical record database) that only used code written in that language when transforming data so that receiving systems could understand it.

This kind of massaging was necessary because the standard protocol for medical device communication (HL7) had more interpretations than the HTML standard did in the Netscape days. It was rare that we ever encountered a vendor with no custom segments that also followed the protocol to a T.
