Online Bingo vs. Traditional Bingo

Author: carbide20 3 Jan 2010

When it comes to classic games, few can argue that bingo is one of the few that is still widely loved to this day. In recent years, bingo has experienced a bit of a transformation to bring it into the new technological age. This transformation has allowed the younger generations to become reintroduced to this beloved game through online games. Free bingo no deposit offers fun for all ages, as long as the internet is accessible.

Many people began playing bingo as children, but as they grew up, have lost touch with this form of entertainment. While bingo in both the traditional and online form are relatively the same, the online version offers the convenience and the ability to play at any time or place, while the more traditional version relies on a set time at a gaming house.

There are many who would say that the more traditional version is the only true way to play bingo; however, more and more young adults are beginning to see the many advantages of the online bingo websites. This type of website allows anyone to play the game of foxy bingo from any location that has an internet connection, and the games can be played at any time. This is one of the better ways to play this game without worrying about being late to a more traditional gaming hall.

When searching for an online bingo website, there are many options that are available and this can make the decision very confusing. There is one way that can make your decision easier when it comes to finding the right online think bingo website for your needs. While the online version’s playing environment is a bit different than the traditional bingo hall, the designers of online bingo have taken steps to ensure that the experience is as close to the traditional version as possible. The best way to find the right online bingo website is to use an online bingo review website. This type of website will allow you to compare all of the top websites and their bonuses or incentives to find the perfect fit.

When it comes to the choice between the online and traditional versions of bingo, there are many aspects that makes each unique. If you are looking for a more personal experience and human interaction with other players, then the more traditional version will be right for you. However, if you want to find a bingo environment that will allow you to interact with other players while being able to play at any time day or night, and anywhere that has an internet connection, then you will enjoy the online version of wink bingo.

When it comes to the argument between which is better, online bingo or the more traditional version, there is no single website that will fit every situation. There are very good arguments that support each version and the right website for each person’s needs will depend on what type of environment they prefer and that will be the final decision maker. Online bingo is a forum that takes a classic game and brings it into the 21st century. Online bingo is one way to have this classic and beloved game at your fingertips at any time, day or night.

Scientists create world’s first molecular transistor

The team showed that a benzene molecule attached to gold contacts could behave just like a silicon transistor. The researchers adjusted the voltage, allowing them to raise and lower the molecule’s energy states and demonstrated that it could be used exactly like a traditional transistor at the molecular level. The team published their findings in Nature.

“It’s like rolling a ball up and over a hill, where the ball represents electrical current and the height of the hill represents the molecule’s different energy states,” said Mark Reed, the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Engineering & Applied Science at Yale. “We were able to adjust the height of the hill, allowing current to get through when it was low, and stopping the current when it was high.” The result is similar functionality to regular transistors, but with a molecule a few atoms in size.

The work builds on previous research Reed did in the 1990s, which demonstrated that individual molecules could be trapped between electrical contacts.

While the new transistor is a scientific breakthrough, Reed conceded that practical applications such as smaller and faster “molecular computers”—if possible at all—are many decades away.

“We’re not about to create the next generation of integrated circuits,” he said. “But after many years of work gearing up to this, we have fulfilled a decade-long quest and shown that molecules can act as transistors.”

Remarkable yes. But is it the ultimate in electronic device miniaturization? Earlier this month, an international team from Finland and Australia reported the development of a single-atom transistor.

In recent years, engineers have been moving away from silicon to exotic materials such as graphene to slash transistor size, with 10 atoms the record last year. The molecular transistor reduces that figure down to the single digits, possibly just one nanometer in length.

Back to the future Delorean Crysis Mod

Author: hankinator 19 Dec 2009

So someone had the time to make a Delorean (like the one from back to the future) in crysis and have it go in an out of time periods, this is by far one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

The Top 100 Things I’d Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

Author: carbide20 7 Dec 2009


  1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
  2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
  3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
  4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
  5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
  6. I will not gloat over my enemies’ predicament before killing them.
  7. When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”
  8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks’ time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
  9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled “Danger: Do Not Push”. The big red button marked “Do Not Push” will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
  10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum — a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
