Learn the basics, then consume huge amount of content in that language.

I learnt German in school but never knew it properly until I started watching daily reruns of "Raumschiff Enterprise: Das...

I was there, late 07. Mostly in the EMO MEGATHREAD. Then two jobs and a gf hit my posting hard :(

For some reason or other, I'm having Master of Orion 3 flashbacks.

"Aim for the stars, hit the trees. Aim for the trees, hit the ground," was what the lead developer was saying during production....

I am shocked at the lack of flaming and shitposting in this thread...

Made FHC account to promote product/service? Check.

Never played EvE? Check.

Trolled to death within five posts? ......

I never understood why Germans dub everything. I learned English almost exclusively by watching Monty Python and BBC wildlife documentaries as a kid (<3 Sir Richard Attenborough). On the other hand,...

Can anyone please post screens of some stations renamed in his tribute? I need them for an article I'll be writing soon.

1. Generally, yes.

2. Yes it matters. How much your parents make should not be a determining factor in your education.

3. In Croatia, private schools are bad and should feel bad. Children come...

Or not. Her deleting him from Facebook could also imply she's either over him or would really like to be. Sending an apology at this time could actually make her feel worse.

Phrix, would you...

Ok. I have based that opinion on the past 19 years of persistent reading about psychology, economics, genetics and memetics. As it is late, I've just come home from a 12-hour shift at a news desk,...

Claiming people never make rational decisions is just as bad as claiming people make only rational decisions. Avoid absolutes, they are never right.*

We could agree that people will not always...

To quote Douglas Adams: You live, and you learn. Well, at any rate, you live.

Same story I think:

And still I don't think people make rational choices when weighing advantages and disadvantages. Some will scream 'GM children! The horror!' and others will scream 'I want the best start in life for...

I agree with you that, if we waited until we completely understood all side-effects of any technology, we would not have progress. Progress requires experimentation and reasonable risks are ok.

Late to this conversation, but it seems to me that most of the people here agree to all of the following:

1. Everyone has the right to tell rape jokes.

2. In most situations, no one should tell...

I am not implying we will lose something 'forever' or 'in full'. I am just talking statistics here. A change in frequency of a single allele from, say, 8% in general population to 22% in general...

I have two basic concerns with the issue of putting genetic selection in the hands of the parents:

First, the problem is that most genes code for more than one thing, and currently we only have...

So much this.

Also - Moo2 tech tree was the most brilliant 4X innovation and no one even tried copying it. Not too much tech, each tech brings something new and useful, and miniaturises something...

Twenty turns in a row I got attacked in the same system with an identical fleet. Destroyed it without losses each time, maxed the level of both my space leaders.

Ok, second play-through ... the...

Almost exactly what I'm feeling right now. Fleet combat and ship design is marginally more interesting than GalCiv II, and it was pretty bad there. Stemming from the same design choice, we also have...

Any game where a tech is named "Applied Casimir Effect" cannot be bad. Downloading.

I work at the most read newspaper in Croatia and the discovery was the main news on the front page.

The headline, though, was "Knocking at door of God". No, I didn't translate it wrong, it was...

Oh look, I missed a Spanish goal while posting.

As a Croat, I have to say it sucked big time sharing the group with both Italy and Spain. And we were so close ... so close...

Rooting for Italy now.
