Self quote as Benfica did a little better in the cup against Victoria (yeah...)... they lead 1-0 until the 78th minutes and then suffered two goals in quick succession (78, 80) to lose the third of the three trophies they had in sight at the end of the season. Triple layer shit sandwich!

Considering the consoles that might need the server farm's power at any one time are only the ones currently in use, which represents a fraction of the total of consoles built, it seems to me the devs can assume they have access to a lot more than 3Xbones of power. Do we have some coders...

I actually went to a kabuki theater. A bit like a classical music concert, it's a program so not necessarily one super long play divided in acts. When I went, I checked a one act play that was an adaptation from puppet theater. There was a separate entrance for the people not seeing the whole...

I was more thinking of things like clean water, arable land, breathable oxygen... and as far as fleeing earth for political reasons, what I had in mind is more something like a country saying 'fuck that noise' because they might end up being collateral damage in a world war so they end up...

League, Cup, European title is a neat combo. Let's take a minute to commiserate with Benfica that could have made this combo but lost both the league and the european title because of stoppage time goals (the final of the cup is sunday or something).

Wait... I thought the Tea Party was the american taliban?

Historically it has been enough of a reason for many (along with: "if we don't know what's there, maybe there are... TREASURES!"). That said, exhaustion of natural resources and/or deterioration of the habitat can be motivators as well. Deterioration of the political climate too. At the apex...

Man... I have not yet recovered from the second Bourne movie and the second Sherlock Homes movie

Tarrant's silence is killing me. Too much suspense! (more than in A Good Day to Die Hard)

I wonder why the coach of Dortmund did not do any substitution before the goal. It was obvious that his team was struggling big time. Anyway, I found it cool to see this juvenile joy on old man Robben's face.

It's a bit like saying the LA riots were christian related because christians happened to be rioting. To this you could say 'HAHA but muslims are a minority in France, so that is highly significant, unlike christians in LA!' until you realize that not all french rioters were muslims and that a...

You seem to be talking about some sort of mythical moderate extremist muslim. I don't know, but I suspect most moderate christians (even 'going to church every Sunday, pray before every meal and before sleep' christians) would not consider their religion to be 'the most important thing ever, the...

I'll link something from wikipedia then about riots and islam in France:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_i...#Recuperations EDIT: While I am at it, a more in depth (and correct) view of the history and nature of the french banlieues:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_...French_suburbs

I think you forgot to post the actual fact you wanted to postLet me break down my statement then: Car burning is a french national sport. I think it mostly started with riot because of a teenager running away from the police and getting electrocuted to death because he fled into a power...

Some comments: 1) About the mass e-mail posted earlier with the super theory about the percentage of muslim population and what it means, the bullshit-o-meter rings often. I am in Switzerland where muslims apparently have an inordinate impact on policy making, forcing halal menus in...

I understand your sentiment, but I think some things should be clarified. A car or a TV are objects that wear down when used. There is a huge market for used car, but for all intents and purposes, a used car is not the same product as a new car. With cultural products, especially of the digital...

Here we go: The draw from the POV of the top 8 seeds: DJOKOVICbeat Nadal in Monaco's final, but also lost to Dimitrov in Madrid and Berdych in Rome. One ankle at 90%. R128:Goffinbelgian hope who reached the round of 16 last year and did precious nothing since. Played through...

We need a complete picture of this process since it's obviously more subtle and complex than initially thought. A mechanism to ensure publishers get a cut of used game sales is certainly something that I can agree on, but if it means I can't lend and borrow nor sell directly to another gamer...

Nadal is in the top half with Djokovic. Ferrer in the bottom half with Federer. Monfils, back from injury and who got a Wild Card will play Berdych in the first round... more when the fine web people of the French Open post the draw!

Question for astronomists: Kepler is looking at a specific area of the Milky Way, but how is it oriented relative to the orbiting plane of the earth? My question being: does the earth occludes our sun from the point of view of the planets we observe? As in: could intelligent life on these...

I am pretty I used to say jif and now say gif... Subsidiary question for those who say jif: do you say [jif] (withjsounding likedjin andgin) or [zhif] (withzhsounding like measure, television, beige) ?

Considering latency and transfer rate, what kind of task could be asked from a video game to a cloud? The only thing that comes to my not enough educated mind would be AI for turn based games. You could make a very fast yet very strong Chess game for instance, but what else?

Federer did beat Nadal in relatively recent times on Clay (Madrid final in 2009) and the French Open final of 2011 was certainly the closest between the two and was three or four point away from being a straight set victory for Federer (lead in the first set, tie-breaker in the second set, won...

It's also an opportunity for journalists to see/try a bunch of games and meet/interview a bunch of people, giving them material to enhance their reviews for months (it's especially interesting because the material gathered that way is potentially unique to the journalist asking questions others...

So.... you did not see the first one, did you?

While in a good position, I think Sony has a difficult message equation to solve in E3. It may be an 'abundance of wealth' problem, but they still have a number of big titles in store for the PS3, titles that, because of their development time and level of polish (The Last of Us, Gran Turismo 6...

How does one go from directing a romantic dramedy with Sarah Jessica Parker to directing the 300 sequel?

That was fun, but it might prove costly for the Pacers.

Feedback comes to mind.

The quality of the movie as far as I am concerned will be directly proportional to Gal Gadot's screen time. So what's the score a_skeleton_03?

The fascist party in Greece is doing quite well!

It should be noted that being booed at Cannes happens often and is rarely indicative of the quality of the film and of the awards it might get. Famously, Maurice Pialat won the Palme d'Or for 'Sous le soleil de Satan' (Under The Sun of Satan) and he was copiously booed by the public present at...

Your scenario is not without merit, but it only considers half the equation. The other half is gamers and retailers. Retailers that make their money on used games will never try to sell a machine with a 'no used game' policy. You can bet that every single vendor at GameStop will get a $100 bonus...

That will not be helpful, but the first thing that sping to my mind is a part from an art house french film called 'Adieu'. There are multiple storylines in the movie, but one of them follows an illegal immigrant from Northern Africa who writes letters to his daughter. In a couple of them, he...

I suspect the secret dream of the marketing team that chose this name is that people would call it 'The One.'

There is a number of ways to easily use excess power, especially when you consider how straight forward the PS4 architecture appears to be. Anti aliasing, draw distance, texture filtering, resolution, frame rate...

She said something like 'I killed a lot of lambs, not one ever saw the blade' that was so ominous it was not possible for Stannis to not think 'Wait a second here? Am I a lamb too?'

It's half the story though. Joffrey's lineage is just a good pretext to try and overthrow him and put Stannis' mind at ease (I am not being power hungry, I am being righteous! I only want the throne because I am its legitimate owner!). In the end, the King is the guy that can be and stay King...

All this Free City stuff made take a stroll on the TV Show's wiki and I realized something: there is still a viable and non-insane heir to the throne for the Lannister/Baratheon: Tommen Baratheon, the other son of Cersei. It really makes you wonder how Joffrey the loose cannon is still alive...

You are thinking of Jaqen H'ghar. If you remember, H'ghar had a very peculiar third person way of speaking that Daario does not share. That said we also know the assassin that once assumed the persona of Jaqen H'ghar has an almost magical ability to transform his appearance, so him changing his...
