Not sure what you mean about displacing Britain, but sounds interesting, can you elaborate? I would have thought you could structure a deal to maintain power where necessary so that China can't come in and cut off your bandwidth, but maybe

Braindead tournament - agree. Interpretation of 4.5 ambiguous - agree, though I think your alternative interpretation is less compelling. See also 4.16 - "Conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport",

The rules say you must try to win every match, not try to win the tournament. Violation of Players’ Code of Conduct, Section 4.5 for “not using one’s best efforts to win a match.” http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetorch/2012/08/01/157703869/badm

400MM USD project, of which from the map about 15% of the distance is AU-NZ, 85% is NZ-US. Population of NZ is 4.4MM people, so less than 100 USD per person. Maybe a crowd sourcing effort could get some of the way there in exchange for band

I don't use on iPad but guess it will come there before Android. You're right I'm not answering tablet specific questions, just looking at app availability versus iOS.

Just tried it, nice enough, but not really on the same level. I'm up to 1,500+ characters on Skritter after hundreds of hours, I think that whole app with all the add-ons would take about 30 minutes to get through for me. Doesn't look to ha

Another example. I'm in Hong Kong and I see them advertising a real time next train app on the MTR, i.e. subway system. iPhone only. They support Android, but iPhone comes first: http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/whatsnew/mtrmobile.html
