Case in point for language evolving: I think it's significantly less common to actually separate the letters of an acronym nowadays. A fully capitalized word is generally accepted as an obvious acronym; adding periods in between just takes up space, and omitting them does little to lessen its acronym status.

Using "scuba" as a noun is very different from a capitalized "Scuba" as if it is a proper noun. "Nasa" is a more appropriate example. You are certainly correct that language isn't static, and I wouldn't nitpick lower-case scuba being used as a commonly accepted noun. In this case though we're dealing with the name of…

Sending robots onto the field in place of soldiers is obviously safer in terms of the risk to human life, but how will they address the risk of advanced equipment falling into unfriendly hands? The US lost a drone and it was bad news bears; I'm not sure what sort of environment would justify the (probably) enormous…

That doesn't make it any more correct to spell it as Scuba or Nasa.

I think a certain degree of exaggeration is acceptable to cement the point, and emphasize the appropriate concepts. Open world is something old Zelda did very, very well. Skyward Sword has small bits of rock you can land on, and there's no use exploring them because even if you find a chest, you won't be able to open…

1) Isn't that the idea behind any popular series? They did things right at some point, so we want to play the next iteration. If the original was garbage, we wouldn't be looking for a sequel. When the sequel doesn't live up, we point to what the original did well and say "at one point you knew better"

I can't remember the last time I read an article on here that I agreed with so wholeheartedly.

Presumably your keys are inside the locked car, so you'll be able to turn off the alarm.

Bleeggghhh.

I'm curious, do the majority of you use a custom designed Shepard?

Neither of those ideas sound remotely appealing to me. I would want a new series to build upon the established continuity. The current movie reboots work well because they still involve the familiar ship and crew, yet the timeline adjustments free them up to tell new stories without violating continuity.

Not that this isn't absolutely amazing, but a nearly 50% increase in the weight of the jaw seems like an awful lot. I'm sure she'll adapt in this case, but to extend this to other prosthetics it may become a limiting factor.

As if direct observation of natural selection or evolution ever do?

I loved the Craft. Obviously teenage boys and girls would end up using supernatural powers in very different ways, but that doesn't make it exclusive to one half of the audience.

Anyone have a TL;DR on how this compares to the one Nintendo released?

Thanks for saving me the few minutes I might have spent typing that

I'm somewhat surprised that so many states are faring as well as they are. Your country has never given a very good impression when it comes to education.

They really should include the internal angle box denoting it as 90 degrees though, especially when the diagram isn't accurately drawn/deliberately not to scale. In this case there really isn't any way to be sure if the Pythagorean Theorem holds true at all.

What I read:

FPS/get shot and immediately die is a really uninteresting genre to scale up so massively. It's a great project from a technological standpoint, but that game itself just seemed ridiculous.
