So confirmed it today with an Amazon rep, all amazon.ca orders of the PS4 are shipping tomorrow and no one is receiving it launch day. Super awesome of them to notify me late last night that that is what they're doing, way too late for me to change my order to some place else. Well played on...

Is the expectation that Amazon will ship the 14th to get things there for the 15th? In Canada mine is listed as arriving the Monday, but I'm literally an hour away from the Amazon warehouse and I picked next day shipping. I'm wonder if I'm maybe bumped a day due to demand or if it's just how...

The PS4 will be the more difficult of the two emulate. It's expecting a HUMA architecture (CPU/GPU write to the same memory) which may push off a direct emulator for awhile. Supposedly the next generation AMD APUs will support this, but I can't imagine them having the same number of cores/GPU...

It's no longer the largest.. mtgox is the second largest USD exchange, and floats around third place overall. The biggest market right now for coins is China, their main exchange is doing nearly 2x the volume of the nearest competitor. It became hard to get USD out of mtgox after the US...

She's half asian, vietmanese/cambodian I think. Their mom shows up in some of the episodes. And her brother wrote the part of Tiny Tina and pitched it using his sister. They approved the character, then tried getting voice actors and nobody did it better than Ash, so they went with her for...

It's been hard to get money out of MtGox for months, and if that was the really the cause you'd see an inflated rate on MtGox but depressed prices everywhere else because people were dumping them. That isn't the case.

At 300$ a coin I have just barely broken even on my original investment. I went from hashing almost half a coin a day a month ago to .14 :/ That's hashing at 150Gh/s. The difficulty is high enough now I'm not losing half my income every time the difficulty goes up. For awhile there it was...

I think it's much more likely that would just spin off the Xbox division, take on major investors like Goldman Sachs etc to try and determine what it might be worth and a couple years down the line do an IPO to sell off their shares. I can't see a lot of people lining up to buy Xbox, and it...

Valve Beats Google, Apple For Profits Per Employee - Slashdot That was 2011 with 30 million users, they're at 65 million now and I don't think they've doubled in employee size since then, so it's likely even more profitable per employee now.

This is a very good article on the competitive fusions designs that could produce a workable commercial reactor within a decade. Sadly the most promising unit, Lawrenceville Plasma Fusion is the one with the least funding. The Nuclear Fusion Arms Race Is Underway | Motherboard

Some interesting articles in Wired today about the controller and the goals for SteamOS/Boxes. General Strategy:Full Steam Ahead: Inside Valves Grand Plan to Replace Game Consoles With PCs | Game|Life | Wired.com Controller:See the Dramatic Evolution of Valves Steam Controller | Game|Life |...

Will it work out of the box with a PS3?

There is specific logic behind the temperature getting that high though. The card has two bios settings, quiet mode and uber mode, a lot of people are annoyed by having a loud fan so rather than forcing people to do complex tuning in the panel they simply select the bios they want. Both of them...

It said eventually, I'd be super happy if it launches with one but it didn't sound like that was going to be the case :/

Well they did fuck with the Iranian nuclear program in kinda of the same way (Effects wise) by causing their centrifuges to overload and damage. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something at play here, though more than likely it's just incompetence of the contractor.

It's actually a by product of the architecture. 290/260/250/240 are all new chips, while the ones that require the connector are rebrands of the previous generation at lower prices. It's just that every single new motherboard you buy now (And I think the last two generations?) comes with PCIe...

There is supposed to be a 290 as well as the 290X. The 290 will be the units that failed to bin to 290X, and if history proves anything they'll more than likely flash to a full 290X in most cases. And it was confirmed at the announcement that PCIe 3.0 has enough bandwidth that CrossFire/SLI...

Here is more info about the lavabit shutdown. It's really scary how the Judge in the case seemed to have no comprehension of what the FBI was asking for and what the consequences of it would be. The implication of listening to backbones with a database of SSL keys is pretty scary as well. How...

If they do a PC version of GTA Online I hope it works with a lot more users than 16.. Now 64? that'd be such awesome chaos.

Here is the indictment for the attempted murder charges.. it's almost got a breaking bad feel to it. Super nerd ends up paying people for hits. It's fascinating stuff.. Silk Road got infiltrated by an under cover agent and was taken down from the inside...

They can only go after them if they got complacent and weren't encrypting things. The other concern would be if they manage to figure out the coin tumbler and can trace specific amounts of money to transactions then trace those transactions to specific ip addresses that the sellers were...

Whether or not people abandon the idea is going to come down to how many sellers and buyers end up getting caught in the aftermath. Assuming everyone passed personal information encrypted and the sellers were responsible and shredded/deleted it post use then very few people will get taken down...

Yea.. KNCMiner is best bang for your buck now with estimated shipping in November. BitFury units still have a considerable power advantage, 300 watts for roughly 500-600Gh/s while KNCMiner is 1400Watts 600~'ish, with Bitfury costing 20$/Ghs while KNCMiner is 10$/Ghs. I'm betting on the BitFury...

The guy who made super meat boy says the controller was on par with a 360 controller and he only prefers the 360 because of the amount of time he's already spent with it. Honestly if he can play a twitchy game like super meat boy on it and has no complaints, I have a hard time believing it's...

From the look of the controller and how's it's supposed to work I have a lot of reservations. Valve has never really lead me astray, so as others have said I'm definitely in the boat of not bashing it until I've tried it. Even though I'm kind of disappointed the last announcement was a...

Once you become common law unless there is some prior agreement and she's paying serious cash into the property she can go after you for what she feels is her fair share of the property. So no, just because your name is on mortgage doesn't mean she can't try and take some of your equity via the...

I was using my mouse and keyboard, maybe the lack of a controller was the issue.

How long did you have to play the game in big picture mode before it triggered the completion of the badge? I tried a few times, 5-10mins each and I just couldn't get the badge to trigger.

I'm not sure if anyone here caught the announcement of Mantle, a graphics API like glide was for 3DFX that AMD is creating. It's supposedly a port of the low level graphics API's used in the Xbox One (maybe even the PS4) and allows developers to reuse a lot of the code they have for consoles on...

I disagree, only because the division inside the company that was creating the revolution in controllers was laid off and the property they were developing handed off to them to pursue it on their own. A new control mechanism coupled with the new SteamMachine is just too much new shit and...

This is true hah, the real concern in my situation was how she would take the proposal of the mortgage agreement. I watched a few friends in long term relationships with common law wives end up losing half the equity in their home despite the women involved not contributing anything near half of...

I've had a similar situation with my girlfriend. I have a mortgage on my condo but I make quite a bit more than her and it didn't seem to fair to split it down the middle. I have no utilities, they're all included in my condo fees. So we added our two incomes together, figured out what % each...

Gabe has stated a bunch of times that he really dislikes the apple app store and how closed off it is, and has a lot of problems with the direction Windows is going and how it's gravitating towards the Apple app store experience. I honestly don't see him inhibiting any other stores from working...

It's not just a stripped kernel though, they are literally modifying the kernel to favor a better gaming experience. A normal OS will running specific optimizations in the kernel that tailor it to be pretty generic in the way it handles tasks. The scheduler for example will be setup to...

Just to make sure I got this right, if I have SteamOS installed to a shitty HTPC and my main PC is in the other room.. I can stream the rendered game from the PC in computer room to my cheap HTPC? If so.. fuck yea sign me up.

When random events happen (generally a blue dot will appear with a red one) it'll clear out specific events locally until you leave the area and come back. Sometimes I've even had to switch characters and back again to get them to re-appear. It sucks, but they're pretty fun when they happen. I...

I got my Bitfury starter kit yesterday, they ended up overnighting it even though I didn't pay for express shipping. They fell behind and my unit shipped out two weeks later, but they mined some coins from their internal units to pay us back for the lost time. I got enough from that to pay for...

Walt is definitely going after the Aryan Brotherhood in the first episodes preview, an attempt to redeem himself after letting Hank die. It'll be his way of proving to his family that he didn't want it to go down like it did and he's going to take his revenge against them. He probably has a tape...

I'm 10 hours in and it's just amazing. I agree 100% with Trevor being the personification of GTA. I honestly don't get the whole n word complaint though... I found it barely noticeable. Franklin so far is probably my favorite character, out of the three he's the most relateable. Plot...
