The metal hand force thingy was one part that didn't fit in with the book. Sure it could be explained by magnets or whatever technology, but the controls for the battledomes were suppose to just unfreeze the suits.

In the book there were multiple battledomes attached to the station that rotated slightly. Bean catches on to this to figure out that the humans have gravity control technology to make them weightless (which the obtained from the aliens). It's suppose to be a secret, not something you learn the first day. Ender learns about their gravity control when they get to the base created by the aliens which was suppose to be on an asteroid that should have much lower gravity.

I think the point is to emulate the movie V for Vendetta (where the mask was used by millions of people upset with the government) rather than the actual Guy Fawkes. In the movie it was quite successful.

But then that's a lot more math to do. Now I can just set my watch when I cross timezones and no more math is needed.

I don't think you fully read the sentence you quoted...

Correct, when I go pretty much anywhere in the world I know the work day starts around 9, lunch will be around 12, the day ends and many businesses will close around 5 or 6, then dinner will be a bit after that. Sure you can add radio receivers in all consumer electronics - it's boost the price a bit and be useless in most places since they can't receive the signal (though the recent upgrades might help). It's not really important if clocks are off by a few minutes when I'm deciding when to get lunch.

That's make things really confusing. It seems like a good idea at first, but it means stores all will have to have custom hours set. You'd end up with things like "Post Offices in former CST are open from 10-6". When you travel some place you'd have to learn all the local customs. Do people here have lunch at 19 or 20? Do stores close at 01 or 03?

While that's almost true for Facebook, Google's primary product is not advertising. Their primary revenue stream definitely is, but their product is a search engine and all the other services that get people to use Google.

People with only 140 characters to post their message and link?

Not sure how accurate it is, but TFA says:

So it looks more like NO government rather than corrupted.

...in economy - I'm sure he travels plenty in business/first class where there is padding to spare.

Until you want to find some configuration file from some program. Where's that going to be?
Maybe where you installed the program? If it's an older program not updated for Vista and running as admin.
Maybe in the virtual directory of where you installed the program? For older programs without a manifest ran as a normal user.
Perhaps in the user appdata? Local? LocalLow? Roaming?
Maybe in the CommonData? ProgramData?

But a typical taxi doesn't have multi-stop routes for pickup and drop off. Usually a taxi with multiple people will pick them up at the same point.

We have a solution to the traveling salesman problem, it involves checking all the possibilities. Given the city isn't that large, and there are likely roads that can be removed because a bus can't go down them, how long do you think a solution would take? Compared to the rate of a bus, it's likely trivial.

While a sign there are probably other issues, those aren't a big problem in themselves. the JS files will be cached by CDNs, so will probably be some of the fasted parts of the site to load
