  1. why did this take so long? on EA Caves: SimCity Offline Mode Coming · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how this took an entire studio 6.5 months of engineering work? I'm probably oversimplifying but, start by running a local instance of the server, then point all queries to 127.0.0.1. Is it working? Great. Now make changes to the server or client as necessary to suit a single player mode. Like allow mods and such. Sounds like they are not keeping things simple, if that's the best explanation they have.

  2. Re:The guy can't memorize times tables. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Improve My Memory For Study? · · Score: 1

    The guy can't memorize times tables. That is not just random "memorization", there are patterns and other contextual clues such as relationships to prime numbers, etc.

    I imagine he has difficulty learning new words, terms, acronyms, etc.

    That level of memorization is absolutely a core requirement for education and understanding.

    How can you understand complex concepts if you can't remember the simple ones?

    Wrong. I can't memorize my times tables either. I am consistently above average in my math courses, and am now taking second year math courses. Think again. Understanding simple concepts and memorizing formulas/terms/tables are entirely different.

    This is hogwash. Education has nothing to do with memorization. Memorization is not understanding. Two entirely different beasts.
