Knowing airlines, they also wouldn't mind getting more flights off the ground in less time = more money in their pockets.

10-15 minutes x hundreds of passengers x hundreds of flights x hundreds of airports, x hundreds of days in a year. There are millions of hours potentially waiting to be reclaimed.

There are a human factors regardless of the method - optimal is the theoretical efficiency. The Monte Carlo method, ideally, would seat 250 people in 15 minutes (let's say) - the Traditional method, ideally, would seat 250 in 25 minutes. Throw human factor into both (+50% inefficiency, let's say) leaves you with 30…

Sorry to ask but I'm from the future. What is this rain you speak of?

I could get an Alienware gaming laptop with comparable specs for half the price. WE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT ALIENWARE BEING REASONABLY PRICED. I'm sorry, but screw off Razer.

This does nothing to address the the fragmentation of hardware on the PC side of things that causes software developers to have to scale their hardware and support a wide class of products. If you believe this "platform" will save PC gaming, in the hopes that every gamer ends up with a Razor pad, so Devs have an…

I've played all these games except Alan Wake and they suck. I would much rather get a 1 year Gold Membership, a $30 XBL points card, and IDK... an extra wireless controller? Then I'll buy. Otherwise, my PS3, PC, and Wii will continue to suffice.

Only $303.50 USD!

@Tech-Ninja So.... not over it yet. Glad we cleared at least one thing up.

God is annoyed that it had taken them so long.

I understood the title to refer to SOCKS, not socks: [en.wikipedia.org]

As common laws don't apply to those who could afford such extravagancies, if what you want is the smokes rolled by the monks and the bubbles and the eighteen year olds, I'm not quite sure why you would leave America in the first place.

You do!! The article was updated with a link to the artist's website with hi-res images!

1. I'm not talking about a specific individual, but a proportionally tiny class of folk.

For sure. But they're going to space anyway. I suppose the extra cost could go directly to treatment. Ultimately living is a far better dream than actually going to outer space.

I suggest that as long as only billionaires get to go to space, they must sponsor one child with terminal cancer to go too, on their dime. Through this one individual act of kindness and charity providing a joy that's truly out of this world, it would bring a lot of hope to humanity too.

When life gives you lemons, you throw that shit at asteroids.

In this case it's a matter of altering the trajectory, not the velocity. Altering a comet's trajectory by even a tiny degree (depending on how far out it is) may be sufficient to avoid an impact.

Can someone get us some 1920x1080 versions of these pieces? Goddamn!
