I was surprised I couldn't see the results after each question. Getting that instant gratification would make me want to continue playing.

There is nothing illegal about creating a game that uses the same fundamental gameplay. Gameplay can't be copyrighted. You should be alright.

One idea is moving towards biodegradable plastics so after someone drinks their soda, they could throw it into the soil after use.

I agree. I imported the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and the hardware is fantastic. I bought it when it was already 8 months old so it dropped in price from $500 to $350. Adding a $20 import fee and the total was $370. It comes with 64 GBs storage, 4 GBs ram, and a quad hd display (2560x1440).

Some things that are lame. No fingerprint sensor and no NFC.

I find irony in how you criticize Japan for painting themselves as the good guys. And in the very next sentence, you paint Americans as the good guys.

You are proof that people want to hear stories that pander to their emotions.

You have not even come close to defending your point that 'academia is the only place that true learning happens'.

All you did was give a justification that academia is a place that learning happens. In fact all that is needed to prove you incorrect is ONE counterexample.

It may be because you used "you" 10 times and "I" once. Given that, it's clearly not obvious.

Digimon (first season) had superb characters who were all multi-dimensional. Izzy was adopted and they had a small arc on that and Sora has a trouble relationship with her divorced mom who she lives with. I found this series very interesting as a 10 year old boy.

I want you to enjoy playing it also.

greatergoodguy | 11 years ago | on: Behind League of Legends, E-Sports’s Main Attraction

An important attribute of an e-sport is that it should be entertaining to watch. Since LoL is a game where a player controls a single unit, it's easy to follow along for the spectator.

He didn't tell you what he thinks the word meant. He told you the definition as accepted by many dictionaries. Be careful not to take other peoples word and apply it through your own filter.

greatergoodguy | 12 years ago | on: Microsoft Will Soon Bring Back The Start Menu In Windows 8.1

This WAS predicted by many users and blogs prior to the release of Windows 8. Criticisms started a year prior to the official release of Windows 8, with the consumer preview version.

Here's one of the videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4boTbv9_nU

This article was written shortly after the release but it does one of the best jobs of explaining how poor the usability of the OS is. http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usab...

What is wrong with that lifestyle?

That sounds like you're fantasizing about a power trip.

greatergoodguy | 12 years ago | on: “Whistleblower welcome in China”

Free election is fine when the people know the truth. Not when people are gullible and easily manipulated. Not when people are selfish and think only for themselves. China is a country that thinks about the greater good. I've been to China. It's quite nice.

Gravity has fundamental differences from the other force, one of the key ones being related the general relativity principles. Gravity causes a distortion in space-time and it is why we have to adjust clocks on satellite in order to match the clocks not in orbit.

Gravity has fundamental principle that makes it different than electromagnetic forces.
