    US Navy successfully demos jet fuel made from seawater

    I guess you missed my point, I'm not arguing against nuclear powered vessels. Most of those vessels are military ships with a handful of civilian ships. They are very tightly controlled and cost a lot to run. You think we'll just start slapping nuclear reactors on ships willy nilly without over...

    US Navy successfully demos jet fuel made from seawater

    Edit: You should just read the Navy press release Not sure if you realize the cost, but especially the politics against putting nuclear reactors on all kinds of ships.

    US Navy successfully demos jet fuel made from seawater

    Ok...I'd be interested in where you are getting that info from about the Navy boat. The rest is just ... While that's technically feasible, it sounds like it'll cost a lot for very little gain. I would say this is more for producing fuels for vehicles on the ships from nuclear power rather...

    US Navy successfully demos jet fuel made from seawater

    Yea ok... If you can miniaturize nuclear reactors that produce enough energy to convert enough sea water to power diesel engines, why not just power it directly from the nuclear reactor. Not to mention I doubt the nuclear reactors would be cheap to build, maintain, and whether there is the...

    US Navy successfully demos jet fuel made from seawater

    Its interesting how so many here are scientifically illiterate. I would go on a stretch to say that the battle group still needs logistic support to refuel the ships in it. Jet fuel would pale in comparison to the amount needed by the ships so I doubt this would change a lot. Unless they start...

    The hardest languages to learn for an English speaker.

    Mandarin and Japanese do not have genders as well. This is why I found French very hard to learn with all the le and la additive to words (there is no iron clad rules for which words are which genders).

    Looks like Mt. Gox is dead...

    I don't think Bitcoin will ever work in a real economy because of the fixed currency supply. Deflation never works well for many reasons. Also, I do not think fractional reserve banking works for Bitcoin because there is no central body to back it up.

    Looks like Mt. Gox is dead...

    I think the problem for Bitcoin is that unlike the Internet, there are better and safer alternatives. There really is no sticking point to use Bitcoin over the currencies we currently have. We have no equivalent alternative to the Internet and its just too useful to not get on to it (Internet)...

    Looks like Mt. Gox is dead...

    I think you're being delusional. These cryptocurrency do not work because real life implementation is never perfect. Not sure why people think its safe, when it is not. The only way to take advantage of the safety feature is to perform one-to-one transfer which has its own pitfalls. Using an...

    would we put all the Chinese in camps if war broke out?

    Unfortunately, too true. There are a lot of people of Chinese descent that is not from China (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.) Plus you'll have to separate the people from Mainland and people from Hong Kong or Taiwan. I have no confidence in the dumb government to handle anything this...

    LOL, that would be one dumb government then. Also, posting in a thinly veiled racist thread.

    Civilization 5 Brave New World

    ^ pretty much. I got Civ 5 the same day it came out and was massively disappointed. I've recently tried the new DLCs after getting the Humble Bundle deal and it still has a lot of problems. It feels like they took away lot of the control from the game. The AI diplomacy is still crap and it is...

    [H]Titanfall just 6v6

    I don't mind unlocks for guns if the default guns are competitive. I found the vehicle unlocks in BF really annoying. For example, the jet unlock was just massive face palm. Your first unlock is the flares, which you get at 800 points iirc. Till then, you were really useless as a fighter pilot...

    help me analyze the ethics of this situation

    Were you trying to take a component or the circuit board out? Might want to contact the seller first because sometimes you do get grey market stuff that the seller might not know. Again, contact them first and then see what happens after that.

    Firewood theft. This an ethical way to deal with it?

    Probably best to build a shed with a lock. I mean, really, whats the difference between leaving your firewood in the open and leaving your bicycle on your lawn or the garage door open. Theft is shitty but I'm not surprised that it gets stolen. Traps are not good since it can blow up in your...

    China's lunar rover 'declared dead'

    Some of the sneers here is pretty pathetic. Operating on the moon is a lot more punishing than operating on the Mars. The long nights, extreme temperature difference and high levels of radiation due to the moon's lack of atmosphere makes it more hazardous for rovers.

    Question about Costco

    The Nokia phone will work fine. At least in Android, I know that you can easily change the setting so that turning off the screen will not put the phone in sleep mode. I don't doubt that Windows has something similar. Anyway, that's probably a moot point since you'll probably want to see the map...

    Question about Costco

    Yea, he is right. But I don't think its that slow, might take 10-15 seconds max depending on your location. That's only for the first time lock, afterwards it shouldn't be slow. Note that in a lot of phones, if you turn off your screen and make it go to sleep, it'll have to re-lock the GPS...

    Question about Costco

    Modern smartphones have GPS modules which do not require any other connection to know where you are. WiFi and Cellular gives you better accuracy but you don't need them. You'll have to pre-cache the maps though, meaning you need to download the maps while you still have internet connection...

    [Xbit] TSMC Has Started Volume 20nm Production Ahead of Schedule

    There is no difference between mass production and volume production. Typically, when people say mass production, they are thinking of high volume production. That in itself doesn't indicate anything about the maturity of the process. You can start high-volume production on a new node, it just...

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    Does it still have the bug where you join a game and you get stuck at the black loading screen? Kept having that issue during beta and kind of turned me off BF4.

    [H]Titanfall just 6v6

    If you don't play with friends and don't want to work with other strangers in the game, then yea, thats pretty much how its going to end up as in any game. You can make up your own goal in game, whether to try to get the highest kill count or challenge yourself and hold down a spawn point...

    [H]Titanfall just 6v6

    There is no need to worry so much about your team winning in BF. It just gives you extra points which is minor in the long run. BF concentrates more on your own stats than anything else. Getting good K/D ratio, getting lots of kills on guns for unlocks, getting ribbons and vehicles times, etc...

    SteamOS

    Oh, you mean the price of HL3 for SteamOS and other OS. You included SteamOS in your normal pricing list so that confused me :P In that case, I still think it'll be too complicated for most people as you'll have to install the SteamOS just to get HL3 for free. HL3 will more likely to be pirated...

    SteamOS

    Dual boot is already pretty complicated for a lot of people. Plus, I don't think MS will give you windows for $29 on a competitor's machine.

    How do you redeem Xbox 360 online purchases?

    You can get onto your Xbox live account and go to Marketplace. There is a tab for Redeem product. Just enter the game code that you got and it'll ask you if you want to download it.

    [H]Titanfall just 6v6

    Mostly because AIs are horrendous in FPS. There is no significant improvement in that area since its a limit of technology. Most of the time, they simply increase reflex and give the bots 100% aim accuracy to compensate. When some people play shooting games a lot and get very good at it...

    Was Halo the first game with a flashlight?

    You can get it to work on XP through some 3rd party patch. I can personally confirm that Halo 2 works on Windows 7. Played through the campaign already, works totally fine.

    BF4 campaign kinda sucks

    Isn't that the fun part? I guess you have different idea of fun. Is that on the console? At least for BF PC, I don't usually hear swearing on the chat. If they do, you can mute or go find them and knife them a few times. They usually rage quit afterwards.

    BF4 campaign kinda sucks

    Battlefield has always been about the multiplayer. In a straight up FPS game, nothing beats the fun of human competition. I think you guys that are complaining about SP in BF series are picking the wrong game.

    Starbound is now on Steam

    This game is awesome as you can do anything you want in it. I've spent some hours digging through my home world and reached the core. I recommend you guys to read the Starbound wiki about the bosses. Since there is tiers/technology levels and every tier has a boss that you need to defeat to...

    %!@! - why only one USB 3 internal header?

    Companies are lazy I guess... It does not cost much in terms of hardware and material effort. I guess the only work to be done is in the driver

    A split NAND/DRAM bus

    Attaching SSD and RAM to the same bus would increase the parasitic capacitance on the bus. This will slow it down and will require some changes that'll increase the cost. Combining the two controllers together might require more space since you'll need some kind of a hardware unit to arbitrate...

    Which One? 480/560/448/7850 (Templated)

    If you want to buy GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores, I recommend either MSI Twin Frozr III or EVGA Classified version. Those two have the best power phases. I have the EVGA Classified version and it over clocks very well. As for the VRAM, I don't think there is much difference between 1.25 GB and 1.5...

    GTX 560Ti, 448 core OR 2gb Version

    I bought the EVGA Classified version for the 448 core on launch day for $305 CAD and I don't regret it. Certainly, if you use large resolutions then I think the 2 GB memory for the regular GTX560 ti will help, but generally I find that 1.25 GB memory is good enough. The rest is about core speed...

    EVGA 560ti 448core... Whoop! There it is...

    Considering its basically a downgraded version of GTX 570, I'm going to guess latest driver will work well enough until Nvidia updates it. I've just ordered the EVGA Classified one so I'll see how well it works (and OC) when I get it. I'll be mostly playing BF3 and Skyrim :P
