Why is the UK called the kingdom of "great" Britain? What's so great about it that they couldn't just call it Britain? Denmark, Belgium, Spain, and all the other kingdoms that are still around don't call themselves great.

I think the reason is that Great Britain is the largest of the British islands.

Are there any play-by-post RPG gaming forums that have good policing against bad players?
All the ones I know have the stupid policy against blacklisting players, or any sort of public lists of bad players.
Even though I know (from my experience with smaller communities) that it's very possible to determine that some people are jerks who leave constantly, and some people are very very reliable, and will never abandon a game, and will give notice if they can't continue.
I'd like to join one that keeps such lists well, so as to be able to enjoy games without players disappearing.

The iPad is developing quite itself quite a niche as a childhood development tool, particularly amongst the disadvantaged. There is no reason for children to have a phone though.

What age is appropriate to get a child a cell phone? Also I don't have kids but, would it make me a bad parent if I made my kid start with a flip phone instead of a smart phone?

You'd buy eventually when his/her friends possessed one.

I don't really want to ever have kids, but I would definitely not give them an expensive piece of technology that is as fragile and easy to lose as a smartphone. I don't see why they'd need one before they're like 10-12, and then it would only be one for messaging or calling. I know it's a decade ago now but I didn't get my first phone till I was 12, and it was a tiny piece of shit that could only do sms and phone stuff. Dirt cheap as well.

What kind of sick, twisted mind decides selling five-rasher packs of bacon is acceptable behaviour?
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

I would think the mind knowing other sick twisted minds that would buy it, and alternatively, some clever or stupid marketing or design guy depending on how well they sell.

Is there a place to discuss political and world affairs issues that is well-moderated and ensures civil and intelligent, constructive discussion?

If you are talking about a forum with a wide range of views, I would say Team Liquid is probably the best despite what you may think at times. If you want to go to a forum for people with a specific political affiliation, there are plenty.

-How do animals gain instincts?

-How long would it take to make a primitive computer starting from complete scratch, (no human tools,) but all the resources, physically like rocks and minerals and such at a groups disposal. 10 years? Or maybe something simpler like making a Car?

It took some guy around 9 months to make a primitive toaster starting from complete scratch.

You'd have to be superhuman to have the reflexes to be able to create a computer out of rocks and minerals. That's why we have machines that do that. Afaik, computers are built by computers, which in turn were also created by computers as technology progressed. I don't think you'd be able to build a computer without building computers before that to help create it. So you wouldn't be able to do that without using "human tools."

Cars I assume you'd have a better time with if you knew how to make them. I think you'd just need a lot of molds to pour metal into, then you could attach each piece when they're all finished. Not really a time limit, as you say you have all the resources necessary physically, so you don't have to look for anything. You can just create a blast furnace and melt everything yourself, so it really just takes as long as how hard you're willing to work.

Depends on a lot of things, really.

Mostly your definition of computer, and the amount of people you have working on it. Probably more reasonable to talk manhours instead of just time

Took 16 people 36 hours to build a computer out of dominos. So if you can just make something domino-like it shouldn't take that long.
