What a terrible solution. Don't you see the problems with that? If you split a sentence into shorter parts then you lose both the context and the meaning of bigger entities (idioms, compound words/adjectives, phrasal/prepositional verbs). You will have trouble with homophones too (the input is audio, after all). Taking as an example part of your first sentence, imagine that you have to transcribe "...the globe have..." into text. Without the "across" you wouldn't know whether to transcribe as "glove" or "globe".

Before you critizise, please learn to spell. It hurts reading your post.

there ---> they're
standerd ---> standard
dollers ---> dollars
kilomoters ---> kilometers

Ok, let's say that you have one of those ID chips inserted in your fingers, and that I'm mugging you. You don't have any cash on you, but you have your ATM card in your wallet. If the ATM is using biometrics as you propose then it would make sense for me to take your ATM card, then just cut your finger and use it to authenticate.

Having read the first 2 pages of TFA, I still don't see how fast of a connection you need for these to become playable. I mean, where I live, the best connection you can get is a ~1 Megabit DSL connection.

Not everybody lives where you live. Here in Japan the standard is now fiber optics at 100Mbps. I could see it working.

While I admittedly have never applied for a job in Japan, I find it very hard to believe that employers would base their hiring decisions on the attendance policy of the school, rather than technical drilling of the applicant. I realize that it's a very difficult thing to cite, but do you have any sort of evidence to back that up?

If you're really interested in the subject, I recommend this book:

The Japanese Mind

I've been living in Japan for over 7 years now, and this book has been really useful in helping me understand some of the weird behaviour that I have to deal with on a daily basis. It's a collection of articles written by Japanese students on several topics related to Japanese culture.

i before e, except after c.

WTF are you talking about? There's nothing wrong on his post.

What else?

The article says that it's a Chinese phone. And the smaller print in the box is indeed Chinese, not Japanese.

The title of the CNET Japan's article clearly states that the phone comes from China. The whole review is written in a "WTF?" undertone. You would think that the CNET UK writer would have gotten in touch with his Japanese colleague in order to confirm the source of the device.

And yes, I live in Japan and can read the original article.

So while the leadership of North Korea is at it's weakest, it beats it's chest with it's weapons

FFS, its!

How do you dare to quote Sun Tzu after that?

Before you say "well drive a car", well if I could find a car for someone my size I would easily drive a car. I cannot find a car that fits someone of my height and girth, thus I HAVE to drive an SUV.

Or you could also, like, exercise a bit from time to time and eat healthier.

Not, like the article implied (it's a general public article, after all) WoW with a single shard, but something different. EvE shows it's possible[...]

It's possible on EvE because the place is basically empty. A space station here, an asteroid belt or two there, a couple planets... In the end, it's just a bunch of generic models thrown around in what otherwise is a lot of empty space.

Now imagine doing the same on a WoW-style game. You would have to do a huge work of world design. Surely there are algorithms that can generate assloads of terrain, cities, etc, but your designers still have to tweak things in the gameworld to make it interesting.

Not to mention the amount of disk space that would be required for the data files making up this non-empty gameworld.

They we're doing it for a gradiate thesis. At least Neuroph was built for a thesis. What conventional method for image recognition do you think would be faster?

I think you meant "they were" instead of "they we are".

I recommend providing links to sources and avoiding grammer nazisms.

Grammar

But I am! :(

Not to mention they're.
