Well, after looking at the cinematic trailer on the Star Citizen Website

You can't use fans to push vacuum into the engines. It would be just as effective to have an open hole through which engine heat could escape as infrared.

I think somewhere on the Star Citizen page they explained that they were hydrogen scoops to power the ion engines; but ultimately, yes, they are probably there to invoke the image of modern jet fighters.

I know I am going to get slammed for this; but he's right you know: statistically men are stronger and faster than women. People often use this fact as a jumping off point to some sexist statement about gender roles; and I don't support that, but we should be careful about throwing out the facts with the sexism. Men…

Unless Disney decided to license an excellent studio like Relic or Bioware to develop a new version of X-wing; this is probably bad news for Star Wars gamers...

Why would pirates seek legal action? That's not very pirate-y. How about instead, something more like this:

Yeah, so, if I saw an object that appeared to be moving at the same speed as me until I turned, I might draw the conclusion that it was a reflection of some kind. A little bit of critical thinking would go a long way in the UFO community...

Epic Rap Battles of History!!

Dear Google,

Wow, you need to do your fucking homework. You've clearly never developed C# for Mono, because if you had you would know that it runs in a ECMA CLI virtual machine. Or did you think that it just used magic to run programs written in C# on machines that don't natively run C# code?

You know that coffee places are TRYING to get people to come and work there, right? That's why they have free wifi; they wan't you to sit down and work, and buy things.

Ok, in what way would an iPad mini NOT be an iPod? I am sure I am not the first person to ask that question...

Don't make guesses about how something works and then draw conclusions from those guesses. You act like a web browser is some kind of magic, and that a virtual machine is some clunky alternative to that magic. A web browser is itself a virtual machine interpreting JavaScript on the fly, but it doesn't have access to…

Some good points there. At the end, though, you talk about your desire for browser based virtual machines, and that's exactly what Flash is. Were you saying we should have a standardized virtual machine that runs in the browser without the need of a plugin? Or did you just want something like flash, but rebuilt from…

Great argument; because no one has even written a shitty iOS or HTML5 app...bulletproof. Also, Apple has no problem with apps written in AIR, they make it into the market all the time (mostly games like Pyramix). That alone should raise some alarms that maybe it wasn't Flash's technology that Apple had a problem…

Adobe AIR: secret flash on iOS and Android

It's funny that you should say that bit about (no pun intended) because their really was no pun involved. Flash is DESIGNED to be "flashy" that's why they named it Flash. That's also why it's not dead. Flash runs on the Actionscript Virtual Machine, which offers hardware acceleration that the Javascript machine (what…

As a person who opposes iOS on ideology: it's not silly, YOU'RE silly!

Ok, who else looked at that image and that it was a boobie at first?

Built that up way too much Giz
