Do any video games have cross-system online multi-player?
Portal 2 (2011 video game) is the only example I know of that supports cross-system online multiplayer between PS3 and PC. User is correct in that there most probably won't be any PS3/Xbox compatible games because they are competitors. From a google search, Shadowrun apparently features Xbox/PC crossplatform: http://forum.notebookreview.com/...
I made my own cross drilled brake lines, and now I have problems stopping, what can I do to fix it?
I read something online about how high performance cars were using cross drilled brake lines so I drilled mine cross ways in a bunch of spots. Now it don't stop as good. I figured after putting on the wing and the ground effects that I should upgrade my brakes cause the car would be harder to stop since it will go faster. It is a Honda civic with a cold air intake.

Is it possible to make your own server?
Obviously you can make your own server, and the price can be zero to tens of thousands of dollars.Creating a web ServerIf you are using Linux, just run Any RedHat based System(Redhat, CentOS, Fedora)yum install httpd -ysystemctl start httpd2. Debian based system (Ubuntu, Crunchbag, Raspbian)sudo apt-get install apache2service apache2 startOnce you put the ip of the machine, in your browser you will have something like thisCongratulations, you just created a web server for yourself, now goto W3Schools Online Web Tutorials and learn some HTTP tutorials to create some webpages for yourself.Creating a file serverOk, so you want to create something that will serve files to your users. Use samba file sharing service.Instructions can be found here: Setting Up A Linux File Server Using SambaSetting a simplest webserver on your laptop This is the most amazing thing to do, just run the following command on your terminalpython -m SimpleHTTPServerNow, head over to your web-browser and put in your ip-address with port no 8000 in this case.Awesome !!!! Right ??? I never learnt, the sharing was so simple and in one line I can achieve things using python. Oh come on Ashish, I mean something like the big servers, that we see in data centers, some thing like this.So, to make things more simpler, these are nothing but bunch of machines having RAM and processing capability. In layman terms, its your desktop or laptop minus screen, and obviously with high storage or computing power depending on application.So, in that case your machine on which you are reading this answer, is nothing but a server. Btw, I have $35 server for you, as a bonus.A Raspberry Pi, running as Database server and a file server.
Why don't game publishers host their own online servers so gamers don't have to pay for PS Plus or Xbox Live?
I’ll address the elephant in the room first. Game studios have hosted and do host their own online servers and always for PC versions of their games. When they do host their own services, they generally charge for access to it. The charges may be in the form of monthly fees, add-ons or DLC. The servers don’t pay for themselves, so even if the ‘basic’ version of the game doesn’t charge a network fee, the game studios tend to hide those fees somewhere: in the game cost itself or in additional fees to open up other parts of the world.PS Plus and Xbox Live are networks hosted by Sony and Microsoft, respectively. These networks are simply networks. Meaning, the gamer is merely paying for access to these networks. The game studios still have to supply their own servers to host the multiplayer portions of the game. When you develop for Xbox or PS4, you have to use these built-in network for your games. You can’t go around Microsoft and Sony and do it yourself as Microsoft and Sony don’t allow that.As a result of that forced compliance, game studios don’t typically charge extra when Xbox Live or PS Plus is involved because what gamer would pay twice to access a gaming network? Once for Xbox Live and once for the game server itself. Very few would pay that. If the game developer wants to put their game onto the Xbox One or PS4, they have no choice but to use the respective built-in game networks.As for whether you pay on iOS for game network access, that’s entirely up to the game developer. If you’re thinking of Pokemon Go, Niantic actually bit off more than they could chew. Their servers went down more than once due to user overload and they had to invest in a whole bunch more servers just to keep Pokemon Go online. Setting up all of that extra capacity wasn’t cheap for them. I’m guessing that Niantic probably wishes they had charged for access to their network just about now. I’m pretty sure in the future, Niantic will start charging.It’s still early days for iOS as a game platform, so I’d full well expect Apple to build out a for-pay gaming network not unlike Xbox Live and PS Plus and charge a similar price. Once Apple does, Android will follow.
Can you get CPR/First Aid certified online?
I'm an owner of the one of the companies you are talking about (well, not specifically, ours isn't $15), which is how I know how much acceptance we are getting. I highly recommend that you check out the following websites. ProCPR is gaining recognition all across the United States, and is a valid form of certification that meets or exceeds the standards set by the AHA and the Red Cross. The video training is all up-to-date with the latest 2010 guidelines (FYI: the prior update was in 2005, they don't do them yearly). http://www.ProCPR.org http://www.ProFirstAid.com You'll also need some hands-on training. For this you can use Blended CPR to find a nearby skill evaluator to check off your skills demonstration worksheet that you can get from the above programs. http://www.BlendedCPR.com It is definitely valid and has been used by hundreds of thousands of people across the country, and is growing in numbers every day. You should definitely check with your supervisor, though. Depending on your line of work, it may not *yet* be accepted. More and more places are coming on board, though. Give us a call if you'd like more information. We're more than happy to help find you find out if our course offerings are what you're looking for. If they are not, then we'll let you know. P.S. Citywide CPR took part of my answer above and tried to change it to their purposes. I do not know who they are.
How do I get my wife to read some information about cross-dressing online so she can understand a bit more about it, without dismissing it out of hand as weird?
I recommend that you consider buying the book My Husband Betty, Love, Sex and Life With a Crossdresser. Helen Boyd, the author, does a great job in presenting what I consider the balanced truth of the lifestyle or hobby. I believe the book will do more than online blogs in reducing the weirdness factor.If you go looking there are unbelievably rich online resources. There are organizations that support couples with a crossdressing partner, TriEss is one that many of my friends enjoy.
