The plus side to that would be allowing starting players who haven't bought all the models to play, although really you could always bend the rules to let them do that anyway, this would just make the option "official." The obvious downside is the people who are going to powergame more than...

Speaking of GW rumours it looks like they'll be releasing the WH 40k 7th Edition rulebook this month, coming in about the same size (and expense) as the 6th edition book. It's supposed to be "6th edition + later supplements + fixes to the broken stuff" rather than a re-write.

There was a piece about how Putin made his decisions on Crimea in the New York Times: Log In - The New York Times Putin is now listening to a very small circle of advisers who all view things the same way he does, he isn't getting any dissenting views because he no longer trusts anyone who...

He's not talking about Russian banks listening to the SEC, he's talking about Western banks lending money to the Russians, and basically it's the German and French banks that are on the hook in Russia. Now for all the issues with financial services and the SEC, these banks won't simply ignore...

Sure. Send him a picture of Putin on his tricycle while you're at it. From the live feed: 22.30 Reuters is reporting that a Kremlin-backed journalist has issued a stark warning to the United States about Moscow's nuclear capabilities as the White House threatened sanctions over Crimea's...

"It's fair to say Renault's request for an extension to the engine homologation deadline [after which engines cannot be modified] has stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest. It's a very controversial thing to request, for two reasons: 1) these engine rules are effectively only in F1 because...

The Master is supposed to return in series 8, but whether John Simm wants to play him again is questionable.

A comparison by one of the few who have driven both. It looks like Clarkson doesn't need to worry. "the P1 is faster than the 918. Everywhere. On paper it looks close enough for there not to be much difference in the real world. But in that real world the McLaren feels of-another-solar-system...

Just how much trouble are Red Bull in, exactly? "Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo completed 116 laps between them - a vast improvement over their experience in Jerez - but that was still about a third of the mileage achieved by rivals Mercedes and Ferrari. Reliability...

Bahrain testing underway, and halfway through day one Red Bull still haven't got their car on track. Newey isn't happy with the cooling requirements of the new Renault engine, but if they don't find a solution soon he'll have to compromise on the aerodynamics at the back of his car. McLaren...

They are trying hard for a locked 60 fps but aren't quite there (yet): "Probably the biggest surprise is that, based on our testing, frame-rate doesn't quite remain locked to 60fps - not especially noticeable in most situations, but definitely more of an issue inside the titans." Watch...

"Cockpit movement is currently under discussion in the alpha forum. As the movement is very likely to cause motion sickness, it is turned off by default for users of Oculus Rift" - posted today on the Frontier forums

It's an in-house engine they call Cobra. While the Kickstarter only began in late 2012, the engine's been around for years and is in it's fourth evolution. It certainly feels solid. https://frontier.co.uk/our_technology

Taken from the Lotro message board: "Up to 100 folks will get pink slips. Somehow, I was able to avoid it so far - will not be sticking for long, I can tell you that much. This is horrible and some of the best folks were let go. In 2012 we had almost 500 people and I think we will have less...

I think those two facts are probably related. Serious improvements in battery / energy storage technology are long overdue. The problem with comparing prices between these two cars is that while the Porsche is half the price, it's still over $800,000. If you can spend that on a car, money is...

It's the kind of car where anyone who needs to know how much it costs can't afford one- and the whole production run of 375 cars has already been sold. It is fast though: 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds 0-124 mph in 6.8 seconds Quarter mile in 9.8 seconds Top speed electronically limited to 217 mph

Looks like there are some issues in the halfpipe event, it's just not cold enough. *edit* they're delaying the second heat (with Shaun White) while they inspect the pipe. I'm not sure what they can do about it at this stage - postpone it? The people who had to go with it and failed in the...

Sherlock wouldn't hand over the laptop if anyone else was present - otherwise Magnussen's security people could have simply snatched it off them the minute they arrived.

Yep, the above is true. Here's Anandtech's take on the new AMD Kaveri: - Intel's dual-core Haswell parts are priced very aggressively and actually match Kaveri's CPU clocks. With a substantial advantage in IPC and shipping at similar frequencies, a dual-core Core i3 Haswell will deliver much...

I think 12 Years A Slave will get the best picture, director and actor. I liked Wolf of Wall Street, and Gravity was amazing to look at, but 12 Years will stay with me a while.
