I think it happens during shift changes when the engine becomes idle for a short period and fuel doesn't completely combust, then when it exits the exhaust it's hot enough to ignite. The P1 does the same thing. I honestly thought you couldn't have a road legal car that did it.. but that might...

Yea I wonder why that happened, they kept saying "In the coming weeks we're going to have both on the track" then dropped the bomb we have to wait till next season this episode. Yas Marina Circuit (Where they were filming the 918) has seen a lot of action lately as a few magazines that were...

The 75 million+ people on steam would beg to differ. If they targeted the lower end machines and relied on their art direction to keep the games looking good (They do that now really with their underpowered hardware) they'd be targeting an install base 10x+ larger than the WiiU install base...

Maybe I'm crazy but they could walk a fine line between having their own hardware offerings and delivering their software to the masses by just embracing PCs. They can develop whatever peripherals they want, it's an open market with a large install base and their games would sell like hot cakes...

I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure Win->Win streaming works. I finally got steamos installed on the weekend and it's very much a beta product. Most of the stuff that needs polish is related to the operating system specifically, I had issues with trying to use some basic system options...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this. My biggest fear with a robot military is that power is then concentrated into fewer and fewer hands with little standing between them and just deciding that aspects that the civilian population are redundant or that some random country needs some ethnic...

I thought this was amusing... ditch your PS3 and get 100$ towards an xbone. Microsoft ad asks you to Eurogamer.net

ME2 was by and far my favorite game in the series. The story and game play were top notch, and I got to kick a guy down an elevator shaft.. so yea that was pretty fucking awesome. ME3 game play wise was great, it just shit the bed in the final hours which has still left a bitter after taste in...

I gave installing this a try over the weekend. I went with a re-spin of it that supports Intel/AMD graphics and non UEFI booting. I managed to get it through the partitioning process and it died on the floor in the final software installation step. No idea why it failed, there was no visual...

Valve has decided to kill off the touch screen on the controller and just use physical buttons (Exactly like their beta units). Honestly it seems like a smart move to me. I have an LCD screen on my keyboard that I never look at it, and I couldn't see myself looking at a touch screen on the...

What a bullshit article title, bitcoins are NOT banned in China. Chinese banks are just prevented from investing/doing financial transactions in them. They weren't doing this in the first place, and transactions from exchanges to banks for purchasing bitcoins is still possible. This changes...

I'm not sure if I'd pay a 50% premium to get it, but I would definitely fall into a demo-graph that would be interested in such a feature. Hell I'd do the same thing for movies (fuck buying a movie again in every new format/definition), music too.

I pulled the trigger on an X-3. We'll see how much I regret this come the end of February.

This, BFL was pretty incompetent. I bought my 60Gh/s unit from them in September last year, it didn't arrive until August this year. The thing is a fucking turbine with how loud it is and I'm right at the edge of their +/- 10% on performance (It actually hashes at 54Gh/s). I purchased a...

Neutron star mergers are another candidate for making large quantities of heavier elements. It's also speculated to happen when a neutron star starts eating/siphoning off material from a companion star, restarting short lived but intense fusion. I can't find the original new scientist article...

It might let me with an amazon.com gift card, but my mailing address for Amazon.com is already a US address (Shipping center on the otherside of the border I pick up things from). It doesn't like the fact I have a Canadian Credit card.

Sooo lame, amazon.com doesn't let Canadians buy the code for 1 year of PS+.

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...

You can sign up to test the SteamOS streaming play by joining this group:Steam Community :: Group :: Steam In-Home Streaming They're picking people from the group to be beta testers.

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

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 :/
