Homemade Robot Masters iPhone Game and Voice Dictation

Where can I get these game playing robots, and software? There's an online poker game I'd like to try it with.

Japan is not in debt like other countries are in debt, it's in debt by 2.4 times it's GDP (Greece 1.7x, Germany 0.7x). The country is in urgent need of a currency reform, which will render the Yen worthless and erase all JPY nominated debts. But it's not coming, because nobody wants to lose their face.
Maybe. It's also a fact and speaks to the pointlessness of all endeavors in present age Japan. To much time on my hands. etc. The problem is too huge to not have an effect on all aspects of Japanese life, including the ability to buy expensive MacBooks instead of ThinkPads. There is this big elephant in the room everybody in the country tries to ignore and the best thing one can do is to say, look a big elephant. But never mind, let's speak more about Wall-E.

I appreciate your knowledge/"concern" about Japan and these fancy facts but I doubt you have any idea what Japan is really like.

But regardless, your statements are absolutely irrelevant to this thread. I doubt the users comment about the Thinkpad is referring to them being too poor to buy a Macbook.

I also have to point out that this is typical German mentality. You are always very quick to rush and judge others because you are riding a strong economic wave right now. Why do you care about the elephant in the room half across the world from you? I'm in no way pro Japan or defending anyone, just don't like unnecessary aggression. Japan is a strong country with a good economy that has been in limbo for the past decade. Lets not forget how damaged the German economy was after WWII. Each country goes through waves of prosperity and sometimes hardship. Enjoy your wave while it lasts.

My advice is figure out your internal issue that are causing these aggressive insecurities towards others. I don't want to get into a political discussion as this is irrelevant. We can also continue this discussion in private and also in German if you choose to.

PS The Yen had its strongest week and is at a 2008 high against the US dollar so I wouldn't call it so worthless.

I think I have a good idea. But if you have any insights to tell, don't hesitate to lecture me.

I also have to point out that this is typical German mentality.

I'd say a typical Berliner, but you wouldn't know the difference anyway.

You are always very quick to rush and judge others because you are riding a strong economic wave right now.

The quickest and that's independent from economic cycles, which cease to exist once you've learned how to manage a factory operating rate and stopped to invest in things you don't need.

Why do you care about the elephant in the room half across the world from you?

I don't care, it's pure scientific curiosity. Even a nuclear explosion on the other side of the world is of little consequence to me, except for what I can learn from it.

I'm in no way pro Japan or defending anyone, just don't like unnecessary aggression.

Being outspoken is a necessity and why wouldn't you be pro Japan? It's a nice country worth to be defended.

Japan is a strong country with a good economy that has been in limbo for the past decade.

How can a country be in limbo and strong at the same time? It's a weak country with a fragile economy.

Lets not forget how damaged the German economy was after WWII.

Apperently not much otherwise it wouldn't have started growing right away. The British colonial trade based economy was destroyed in the war. Look it up it's called a phyrric victory.

Each country goes through waves of prosperity and sometimes hardship.

Not every country. Japan is famous among economists for it's seemingly never ending stagnation and deflation after a bubble burst in the 90s. Up till the 80s Americans feared Japanese companies would take over the world. That's at most one wave, up and down. They would give you one of these fake Nobel Prizes for Economy if you could explain the mystery of Japan's missing recovery.

Enjoy your wave while it lasts.

Learn how to surf and you will be able to travel with the wave instead of seeing it passing by.

My advice is figure out your internal issue that are causing these aggressive insecurities towards others.

Your remote diagnosis of my mental health status doesn't explain anything about Japan.

I don't want to get into a political discussion as this is irrelevant.

And you keep failing at it. All you are telling me is stuff about where I come from and nothing about the place where this puzzle solving robot comes from. My advice is stop talking and start listening!

The Yen had its strongest week and is at a 2008 high against the US dollar so I wouldn't call it so worthless.

And that's exactly the problem. Japan's currency should be declared worthless by the Bank of Japan, so that all the non-repayable debts are cleared and the economy can have a fresh start. Japan is bankrupt in it's current currency, but instead of forming a new one the inevitable bankruptcy is kicked further down the road. As revealed by the Olympus scandal, the biggest (known) and longest-running loss-hiding arrangement in Japanese corporate history, large parts of the economy are completely occupied with pretending to create value instead of doing it. And so are the people of Japan. Lot's of activities are just pretending to be productive to keep face in front of society. And this robot, so busy achieving something that doesn't need to be done (at least not by a robot who can't have fun), is a perfect allegory on Japanese society. But I'm sure you know much more about how Japan really is. Too bad all you are telling us are cliché about Germany.

This might surprise you but I grew up in Berlin and JUST returned from working there. SURPRISE!!

Unfortunately I don't see me "winning" the game of "bullsh*t waste of time" so I'm done discussing it but remember both wars you started were because of this mentality that you are better than everyone else, you just can't mind your own business and keep your opinion about other countries to yourself. This opinion in return consumes you so much until it becomes hate and you feel the need to take over. Sound familiar?

Again my advice: hold it within; try to understand other peoples perspective; maybe go visit Japan for a few month and build a more advanced opinion.
