Identifying the best turn in any one play should be fairly trivial I think, but the strategy with keeping some letters in hand for a big play later on while still optimising for score is probably fairly complicated within the time limits. O

Have a look at Duolingo if you like Memrise, it's a more in depth language learning tool that uses the same kind of ideas.

It's not an addon, it's a free tech demo of features they didn't manage to have ready for the engine at release, HDR and the like.

I've not got a Windows Phone myself, but from all the reviews I've read the functionality is neutered somewhat, even after the applications have reintegrated themselves.

Is Australis due out in the next version? Had swapped back to using the default version from nightly in anticipation, but it seems that was a bit premature on my part.

Yeah it's a schwa, rather than an oo.

I'm not going to pretend I know when CS:GO was ported, but for a very long time (until the crate update) it was easily the least played version of Counter Strike. I think it was ported to Linux before it was successful, but I can'

While I agree the term is being used wrong and UHD would be better, I don't think enough people would be confused as the term 4k is being used almost exclusively for UHD at the minute. So I think your comment would be better phrased as

I think if a new social network came out, that had a bare bones layout, and just had Events/Pages/Friends then that would come in and dominate again. As soon as they start trying to be too big and do too much they lose their edge.

There have been countless people prosecuted due to unjust laws; society changes, and as that happens laws change. Every single one of those people should be given a pardon, or none of them should.

I'd assume they could scale fine but have a minimum resolution of 1024*768, I think that's what MS used as their base when designing Metro apps.

I really, really dislike that the bookmark button has been taken out of the address bar, that's my biggest pet peeve, along with the slightly less customisable look.

I just get rid of the search bar and use the URL bar for search too, don't think there are any downsides to doing that.

They wouldn't, one because it's not precise enough, and two because there's no way a week is going to compare to a lifetime, and thousands of hours in a singular game, of using a mouse.

You are far, far better off than you think you are. You'll probably see the posts saying this to you as condescending, but if you can even think of purchasing a Model S you're in a very exclusive group of people.

You wouldn't be able to (and can't) do this on competitive PC/Steambox games though because you can just fake it on PC, so gamepad players would never be able to compete.

You say a lot, what you really mean is <5% of PC users, that's a high end estimate.

The PS4 does not use DirextX, they use their own system, people are getting confused because they said it had features equivalent to 'DirectX 11.1+'.

While I agree, and wish they just released a budget x86 version instead of the RT, you are exaggerating the problem somewhat.

I don't know about you but I find it exceptionally hard to read passwords from people typing, even slow typers, reading an experienced typists would be nigh on impossible for me.

People don't say this, or if they do they make the same mistake as when they say PC gaming is irrelevant. They lump the whole of 'gaming' as one thing, not realising that a new market segment emerging doesn't cannibalise

I wasn't referring to the the market that Android and IOS are competing in, as this post was about traditional non-touch games I was talking more about the desktop/laptop space and the associated products. In that regard I do thin

The very first version of the Surface Pro can run most Source engine games fairly well at the moment, and that's a situation which will improve rapidly if they keep iterating. As to input mechanisms and screen real estate, it's st

I was thinking more of running a full desktop OS on a tablet device yeah, I think MS will be smart enough to keep it around, it's a very good feature.

My bad, I should've really explained it better in the opening post. How I see things going, though of course I could be wrong, is that at home you'll probably just have a monitor, with your KB/Mouse setup of course, and you&#

I think he's completely off base to be honest, I think in the coming years Surface like devices will replace the traditional desktop, and unless Linux moves quickly, there's no way that space will be anything but Windows dominated

Maybe using section there would be acceptable, it's the closest thing I can think of at least.

I can understand saying he isn't an expert on languages, but to say he isn't an expert programmer is honestly just condescending.

I think in his keynote or graphics talk this year he mentioned that he didn't think that was the way forward anymore. Don't quote me on that though because a lot of those talks did go over my head.
