Watch the pros. Rushing is considered to be a risky move. If you can catch your opponent doing some ridiculous early expansion, you'll win. But in normal circumstances, you'll set yourself back economically, unless you can manage to do a serious amount of damage with the rush.
Yes, I have defined free will as supernatural because any natural definition seemed meaningless. Perhaps you can provide a meaningful natural definition.
Unpredictability is not a sufficient requisite for free will. Quantum physics automatically provides unpredictability, but a dynamical system that simply follows the laws of physics is not free, even if the outcome is unpredictable. Free will means a force of will that is free from the constraints of physics, and is a supernatural concept. Also, you don't need to calculate all digits of pi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe_formula
Closed timelike curves are only a problem if free will (a volition that acts outside the rules of physics) exists. I believe time travel is not only possible, but it happens all the time (for subatomic particles). But the probability of a macroscopic object like a human traveling into the past is so tiny that it is effectively impossible, akin to quantum tunneling through a wall.
People are too used to thinking of causality as some kind of arrow. But really, it works both ways. Instead of thinking of the future as some kind of function of the past, you should think of the future and the past as two configurations of the universe which are connected via quantum probabilities. Microscopic physical processes are mostly reversible; the only difference between future and past is which occurs first, and the entropy situation. But entropy has to do with our knowledge of the initial conditions of the universe, which puts it at a different level than the quantum structure of events.
This suggests a block universe, where the future is predetermined and connected to the past through quantum constraints. This is consistent with the relativity of simultaneity in Relativity. Free will is impossible, because its existence would mean that the future doesn't exist, which means that quantum connections between the future and the past can't exist.
Belief in free will is belief in a soul which is capable of making decisions that the brain presents before it using some non-physical and unpredictable process. It's not necessary to believe that the soul survives death. I consider free will to be a ridiculous unscientific belief.
Not true at all. Look at any of the myriad exercise calorie calculators. Sitting around takes less than 80 Cal/hour. Vigorous exercise is easily > 400 Cal/hour.
Err, running for an hour burns much more than 200 Calories. You must be thinking about walking. Running will burn around 700 Cal/hour (depending on a host of factors). Jogging maybe 400 Cal/hour.
If you look at the winners of various strongman competitions, you'll see that they are big and stout. They have plenty of muscle but they also have plenty of fat. They look far more normal than the super ripped body builders, yet possess more power.
Food is not just calories. Junk food has few vitamins per calorie. If you compensate for eating junk food by eating less of it, then you won't be getting enough nutrition.
3 screens, baby. It's that natural progression of things. DS = Dual Screen TS = Triple Screen I say they should just skip quad screen and jump directly to quint/penta screen, just to be 2 steps ahead of the competition. Because more is better.
I thought we'd learned our lesson from the Therac-25. I guess not. Mistakes will always happen, I guess. We need safeguards against radiation overdose, so the program CAN'T provide an overdose above a limit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25
I think the main problem is nobody caring enough about you to bother reviving you. You'll be in some ice box in the corner until someone decides to shut off the power to those relics because, they've got enough museum pieces already.
Actually, lens distortion also depends on the scene, but usually the scene is much farther than the focal length so it doesn't change very much. But for close up shots, you'd do better with a macro lens.

We can't predict weather very accurately. Does this mean that our atmosphere has free will?

You shouldn't have unused muscle mass.

Course, this may be more of a girl thing.
No, it most certainly affects guys as well, if not more so. No one wants to be seen struggling with the 80lb when some other guy is benching 300lb.
Right. When was the last time you met someone growing tobacco in order to avoid taxes?
Flies? Can you explain the logistics of that one?
Supply is essentially infinite everywhere. The only thing that matters is demand vs price.
More powerful hardware gives the developer more options.

What do they have to lose?
In otherwise, their "engineered intelligence" for determining saturation of GPU is checking the name of the exe against a list.
Or, just allow changing difficulty mid game.

seems reasonably attainable for a nuclear technician
