Who the fark sends in unmanned robotics systems without the ability to dead reckon or navigate via an alternative external landmark (stars/land topography)?
Forgive my ignorance, but do we actually have that kind of technology?
I'd suggest setting the game up standalone with your own engine APIs, programmed in whatever, and the rest of the game coded on top of those. That way if you ever want to move to facebook all you have to do is change the engine APIs to use Facebook API calls rather then whatever they were using before. It won't be easy but it'll smooth the transition.

Because most people don't look at cars and computers the same way. To the average Joe, a car has an engine that can be seen. They may not really understand how it all works, but they know what an engine does, and probably know the basics of an engine. They can pop open the hood and check to see "yes this engine appears to have all the pieces I can recognize and it sounds good."
In fact popping open the hood is one of the most common things when buying a car. You have to make sure that the salesman isn't ripping you off (interestingly enough, they wouldn't be able to do a lot of the slimy things they do if they couldn't open the hood). Not so with a computing device or a tablet. The "engine", or the CPU, graphics card, ect, is a line on a sales card. The average Joe will see "NVidia 550 GTX" and all they will think is "gee that's a higher number then this other one over here so it must be better" (for the tablet pedantics out there, I have no idea if any tablics come with an Nvidia card, just using it as an example here). If you as a customer went into Best Buy and said "I'd like to look at this Samsung tablet here, can you crack open the case so I can look at the CPU?" likely they'd think you were crazy. Because for the average person, a tablet is what Apple made it to be, a smooth sleek device that has a screen that lets them do things. They have generally no idea HOW it allows them to do these things, they just care that it works. They don't generally care about root access because accessing the "engine" more directly is not something they will ever need to do.
Whereas in a car, the user knows the engine is important and cares about it, and that is why cars are designed with hoods that can open easily.
The companies cater to the market that is interested in buying their products, and the majority of tablet consumers could not care less about root access to their devices.
As someone else said, if you really want a fully rootable Android device, why not build your own?
I have never understood why the body evolved such that in times of a severe calorie deficit, it will burn muscle before it burns it's fat stores, by default.
As far as I understand, it takes less energy to burn muscle then it does fat. So the body is going for the process that will require the least energy expense (which could be important in a severe calorie deficit). The reason it doesn't make sense is that we might require our muscle in order to get more calories, but I don't think the lower level brain makes that kind of a distinction. It's not worried about surviving the next week, it's worried about surviving RIGHT NOW.
It doesn't really have to do with the language. Objective C at first (from someone coming from a Java/C background) is actually rather awkward to work with until you get used to the little differences. It's the seamless integration of the API and the Interface Builder that makes developing for iOS easy. Note that I've never developed for Android. Not because I didn't want to, but because it was a lot easier to download the xcode package and install it then to figure out how to build the Android toolchain.
Is it cheaper to buy the development tools for iOS?
AFAIK (And someone please correct me if wrong) you don't HAVE to pay to get the dev tools for either iOS or Android. But the iOS dev tools are much better, IMO. Very nice and polished.
Apple has strict requirements on apps going into the app store. One of those is that at no time may the app make the UI look sluggish or out of place. Android as far as I know doesn't have those requirements. That might be the reason the iOS apps are prettier, because they have to be that way in order to make it into the store at all.
Oh I agree about the retest and retrain. But I just think that if that becomes mandatory then maybe they should also offer subsidized education classes and training. That stuff can be expensive.
Are you talking about all bus drivers or all drivers in general? It could be rather expensive to have every driver in the US go through driver's ed every two years.
I wouldn't say 1000 ft, there's no need for that. You'd be jamming signals on the other side of a 6 lane freeway.
However imagine for a second that you did have this jammer. Someone would suddenly lose a signal, and probably take their attention off the road to look at their phone to figure out what went wrong. So in reality you could make the situation even more dangerous.
You don't drive much I guess. Say someone in front of you hits someone else, they stop rather suddenly. You, being a careful driver, hit your brakes and manage to stop a few inches from them, avoiding them. Now remember that the person behind you has to stop just as quickly as you did. But say they aren't so careful. They rear-end you (actually that force would probably send you forward into the car in front of you anyway). That's how these things can happen. This has nearly happened to me a few times (not because of a rear end in front of me, but because of someone stopping rather quickly).
the best way to run a large nation is the way China does it: no democracy at all, and only a small group of unaccountable people making all the decisions.
I would agree that it's the most efficient, but I'd be a little uneasy at calling it "best". They have some pretty serious human rights violations that the US does not have yet (we're close, but not yet). Would you mind explaining what you consider to be "best"?
most of the EU reports preemies under a certain weight or height or age as "lost pregnancy", no matter how long do the children live after birth
What happens if the child survives? Do they still get issued a birth certificate? (Note, I don't know how small you're talking, but i do know that some preemies survive to grow to adulthood).

I always thought it was running the compiled iOS program through some sort of virtualized hardware.
Pathetic, look at you all jostling to feed from the teat of the MPAA and its "broken business model".
You all deserve SOPA and its ilk until you grow a pair and boycott.
This deserves insightful, not offtopic.

Let me guess..UCSC?
Yep :)
So you would rather have developers spend time making it pretty instead of functional?
I never said I agreed with Apple's philosophy, just pointing it out.
I haven't had much time to think about this but I'd say all of them (sadly the puzzle is not well known enough for me to know it).

Unless they were talking about board games maybe? (I dunno, haven't read TFA or TFS, but just a thought)

Do you think that this is the reason the US is beginning to lag behind in our own infrastructure?
