The senate committee setup to discuss virtual currencies with Bitcoins being the focus was overwhelming positive in supporting them in anyway they could, primarily because they represent the future. They specifically stated stifling them would hurt American interests and harm future innovations...

hah yea, I pointed it out and I think I was the only one in the room that even knew the reference. So far this has been a solid story, I really hope they have something good planned for the pay off.

I have to plug NFS: Rivals too, it's a solid game and I'm having tons of fun with it.

PS4 came yesterday.. I spent a solid 20mins checking the HDMI port and making sure the drive was plugged in properly. Thankfully mine seemed to start up okay, then I replaced the drive with a HGST 7200rpm 1TB and it was pretty smooth sailing after that. I found that the PSN network speed for...

You sir are a smarter person than I.

Yet it's still a better health system.

I'm literally an hour from the shipping center.. I'm not in bum fuck nowhere. I ordered it early the day it was available for pre-order. They sent me an email last night specifically stating they're shipping my unit Friday and not before then. So yea, amazon.ca is fucking anyone who pre-ordered...

This was the canned response I got from the rep: 02:08 PM(GMT) Mary Bhagiam(CSA): Yes, #####. All the launch edition of the item are shipping on 15th of November. We only offer the Release-Date Delivery option when we know we can get the item from our suppliers in time to meet our delivery...

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...
