Mechanics are a big portion. That's the play making ability of using the right abilities at the right time and timing things so that you have the maximum impact. Faker's mechanics are very very sound. In the article they mention that this current meta isn't very good for him. It's because they have lessened the impact of assassins vs buffing tanks. The middle lane is often assassin and play making type characters, so the consistent impact he can have on a game isn't as great as it was in previous years.

After that it's like many other competitive activities. It comes down to decision making and seeing things before they happen. Great soccer players will tell you that they're plotting movement and spacing well ahead of what's actually in front of them.

That's not quite right. Rent downtown is still not very expensive. I have a friend living in a gigantic loft in Greektown.
Re:Earnest – A writing tool for first drafts on Friday May 16, 2014 @07:25PM (#7758487)
I normally just write in a basic text editor and then do all of my formatting and editing later.

The auto save would be nice though.

Also no special characters.

Yeah, it's not really going to hold up for very long.

That's when I'd rewrite it and then sign the rewritten version.

Actually there are symptoms shown when one reduces sugar intake. Nothing quite like heroin or other opiates though.
Re:Backdoor found in Linksys, Netgear Routers on Thursday January 02, 2014 @02:06PM (#7001454)
I bought a buffalo router pre-loaded with dd-wrt on it that I like and gives you most of the options that the stock dd-wrt build does. Otherwise I just buy anything that is dd-wrt compatible and flash it.

There are passive coolers for i7s out there. You can even find passively cooled GPUs and PSUs. It's pretty cheap to build a silent pc.

I would have been all over this 2 years ago when my drummer lived 1200 miles away.
It's put in the bottom right corner, where if someone isn't parsing the whole page will be pretty sure to miss it. Most people scan pages http://www.nngroup.com/articles/f-shaped-pattern-reading-web... and it's conveniently places where people tend to skim or skip.

Re:Hi I’m Hank, and I bought a bus on Friday August 23, 2013 @06:19PM (#6266553)
What's the mileage like on those? I had done some reading up and was considering one of those instead of a bus.
Re:Hi I’m Hank, and I bought a bus on Friday August 23, 2013 @06:17PM (#6266549)
Most full sized buses get 7-8mpg. It's like driving a Hummer.
Re:Hi I’m Hank, and I bought a bus on Friday August 23, 2013 @12:15PM (#6264484)
That looks like a very limited conversion. Did you do an electrical system at all or a powered water system?
I read the same thing "I can hear every note, whether it's from a guitar in Nickelback or a violin in an orchestra."

Cringed.

Who has the time or money to teach yourself to code in 180 days?

My first try didn't turn out so great. It seems like it works best if you do less green.

My second attempt turned out much better. http://i.imgur.com/kCthvpZ.png
