As this happened in SA, it's more likely that these "machine guns" were firing 5.45mm M79 or 5.45mm MPTs. Going to the trouble and expense of manufacturing a system in 5.7mm seems a waste of time when an AK-74 is easily purchased on the black market. There is also the cost of ammunition. Elite and American Eagle make…

Mind telling me how an Apache is delivering parajumpers? You can strap on a couple of passengers outside the cabin, but wouldn't a Black Hawk make more sense?

I don't have a problem with this. The donator has no rights regarding a piece unless it was stipulated at the time of donation. As for the tax break issue, the intent is for donations to be available for the public to view, but if the proceeds of the sale are used by the foundation appropriately, then the intent of…

Personally I'm in favor of frying. Nearly anything is best crispy and golden.

Oh really. Show me one then smart ass.

Nope. Dirigible is from Diriger in French which means directable, so while any airship is a dirigible, they must be manned and powered

Actually, they are barrage balloons intended to dissuade aircraft from flying too low. Some were equipped with explosives designed to detonate when an aircraft contacted them.

The speed Wikipedia lists is based on a statistical analysis performed by an unrelated third party. Until the Royal Norwegian Navy, or Jane's, releases a figure, it's all theoretical.

The Mirage GR8 is one of my favorites. It won the 1975 race with Jacky Ickx at the wheel and wore the Gulf color scheme well.

Bullshit. All the article mentions about the computer used is that it had a 4670, and the article is about encoding, not computing. 12 and 18 compute units for the Xbox and PS4 respectively and a clock speed between 800 Mhz and 1 Ghz, not even close to what it takes to render 4k at respectable frame rates and the Xbox…

The dampening problem may have been magnified by uneven tire wear, either differing levels of traction or imbalance of the wheel itself due to a flat spot or other issue. That definitely doesn't look like traction control to me.

I think you're overestimating the capabilities of the Xbox One/PS4 and the efficiency of H.265. We'll have to agree to disagree, but buying a One or PS4 for 4k would be a massive mistake at this point.

HDMI 2.0 was set to be released, not enter production, in first half 2013. I expect it in August this year. There will be no HDMI 2.0 in release consoles. It will be added as early as next year by Sony and Microsoft, but on release, there will be no HDMI 2.0. Yes, in theory, the GPU could shoulder much of the…

None of those issues can be rectified with a firmware update. A mid generation hardware bump would probably take care of these issues, but firmware can't change hardware.

PS4/Xbox One can't really handle 4k for a couple reasons. They both support H.264, but H.265 is probably going to become the more or less default codec very soon and neither the PS4 nor the Xbox One will support it. Both utilize HDMI 1.4 which can handle 3840x2160, but only at 24p (24 fps, progressive) or 30p. HDMI…

Try using real lump hardwood charcoal sometime. You can find it at most grocery stores now and if you look harder you will be able to find it in specific woods like hickory and mesquite. If the pieces don't look like pieces of wood, then don't light them.

VOTE: Weber One-Touch Gold 26.75"

Or if you have an aux in, just buy a bluetooth adapter for your current head unit.

I believe the correct answer would be a beat up Model A pickup.
