"The engine has higher compression ratios than cars that use 'regular', and also derives its power through a more advanced ignition timing. The higher the octane rating, the more the engine can advance timing. Running lower octane gas in your car will lower both your power output and gas mileage, enough that it will…

"In the most simple terms possible, oversteer in when the front wheels slip while cornering and oversteer is when the rear wheels slip while cornering."

I haven't been keeping up with this because it seems sensationalized to hell, but are we really talking about 19 deaths? http://online.wsj.com/articles/ninet…

They learned the ways through the map and how to predict where people would be popping out after so much time from seeing them in a particular place. Basically, if you had to use your eyes, you really sucked as a competitive player.

There's also an Android app now so you can change your maps on the go and also view them (something the old version didn't allow).

Not that it is really your library anyway... you're just licensing the rights to listen to any of that music, and Apple can change that at any time.

Remember the first time you tried to step into Minecraft's vast, Lego-like world? You probably found yourself wondering: "What are these pigs doing here?" or, "Why can't I just shoot things?" or, "Uh...what am I supposed to be doing?"

It wasn't even a singular impact that knocked the engine out of the Porsche 911 Carrera Cup at Sandown the other day, but rather a fierce one-two punch. Like a boxer on the ropes right when the fight begins, the brains of the thing just fall right out when hit with the combo.

The method is interesting, but it relies on you being un-biased and actually considering all things fairly. My company would do their example on turnover and completely ignore all the reasons they themselves would've caused to put the blame solely on the employees which are leaving.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TURN??!?!?

SODA was an awesome game! I have to dig that up sometime...

I was extremely impressed by this, as well. The only thing I noticed that was unfortunate was that they never coded the barrels to go down ladders like in the original game. There was always that element of random surprise when a barrel would come down a ladder straight at you, but this re-creation always has them…

Well, she's white, certainly not Polynesian, so she's definitely imported-to-Hawaii.

Chicago (because Illinois isn't really a cohesive state).

Good point, that could definitely have something to do with it. I wonder if that is also why the Koreas are 60Hz, as well.

I believe that the 220-240 in American homes is referring to 3-phase power, though. Pretty much the only things that run that voltage here is electric ovens and clothes dryers.

Plugs are one thing, but the voltages and frequency differences amaze me. Even more interesting is how half of Japan is 50Hz and half is 60Hz.

The Beehive Geyser, on the other hand, resides just a hundred yards or so from Old Faithful often discharging higher into the air while spewing twice as long as Old Faithful, but it only erupts every eight to 24 hours.
