What else does Game Freak even make?

It’s not meant to be a rote memorization game. That sort of feature is meant to enhance the true point of the game.

A game they make for children, btw.

They’re trying to kill it. Anything they can squeeze out of existing customers in the meantime is just gravy.

Unfortunately, at least in the US (and from the sound of it, probably Japan), the patent office has the viewpoint of ‘patent everything and let the courts sort them out.’ The courts, on the other hand, defer to the patent office because ‘it’s they’re job so they must know what they’re doing.’

That’s probably Richard Garfield’s fault for setting precedent with his collectable card game patent.

Yeah, proprietary software are the worst offenders.

That was in reference to what you were responding to.

Unfortunately, so many error messages are so utterly useless that it has taught many people that all errors are just pointless background noise even if they’re actually giving useful info.

Sure, but ‘make your own doughnuts’ isn’t exactly a useful response to that.

Given how inaccurate that metaphor is, I can say with near certainty that has nothing to do with this comic.

That’s pretty simple, if there is any matter they could both interact with in the way, it would be converted to energy and either expelled to the side or shunted to another dimension.

They are synonyms for that usage. The immovable object is neither stopping nor resisting the force.

Actually, the new theory is that the hawking radiation exfiltrates information from inside the black hole via quantum entanglement. Of course, it hasn’t been tested yet for obvious reasons.

The problem is the concentration of power. We need enough different groups in power that they’re too busy undermining each other to consolidate.

It’s seems more that you don’t really know the definition.

It’s great if you don’t need it to be on the network. I’d say they didn’t have networking figured out until almost the end of XPs lifespan.

Yeah, that was always a bad argument. The truth is it will always fail in the transitional step where the state owns everything. People in power do not want to give up that power, so it inevitably leads to dictatorship followed by eventual collapse.

Why would I quit my dream job? Getting paid so sit doing nothing is my life long goal.

At this point Bing is better than Google, so using a privacy based skin of Bing seems like a good idea.

Time travel like that can only go forward. If you want to go backward you need to decouple yourself from your relative position in spacetime. Or find a way to go faster than light without ever going light speed, which will definitely need a space ship.
