That’s why its played by bots and a human looks over the results to build a narrative and make sense of it all for us.

What are Power Macs? Do you mean PowerPC powered Macs? Those would be almost 10 years old at this point, and therefore not able to run VR content.

Can the Osprey land on a runway in “plane” mode?

Martin Eberhard was the original founder and CEO of Tesla. He launched the roadster and started development of the Model S. Musk was just the primary investor at the time. However, Eberhard completely flubbed the development of the Model S, and Musk ousted him and took over as CEO. Only some incredibly risky business…

It is relatively easy to cut off a region from the global internet. However, they would still be able to communicate with each other locally. Disrupting the internet inside a small country is very difficult,precisely because the internet is designed to be resistant to such attacks.

No its not. That’s equivalent to saying that manned fighter aircraft are needed to train aircraft controllers because without them there are less planes to track. Its stupid.

That is a trivial reason to keep manned fighter craft. The majority of astronauts today do not come from military aviation. They are scientist specialists who receive whatever flight training is necessary for the spacecraft they ride upon. Also the next-generation of manned spacecraft will be entirely automated, with…

my apologies, fuck kinja

He didn’t mention any other 5th gen aircraft.

“the technology of the F35 will rapidly be eclipsed by developing technologies of rail guns, lasers, autonomous fighting vehicles and a whole host of other technologies that will rapidly mature and push manned fighter aircraft into obselecence with stunning speed.”

He’s…

A potential, albeit costly solution is to build charging stations on the sidewalk. Each is key activated with a resident’s key and the power cord head has a locking mechanism that secures it to the vehicle so pedestrians cannot remove it.

But this device does not play games. Spending $600 will leave you with just a piece of plastic. Yes a lot of early adopters will have the $1000 pc to run games with the Rift, but for the many people who aren’t hardcore gamers who’s participation is critical to VR taking off, don’t want to spend $600 on the device…

Yes it is. This is a peripherial. It does not play any games. You need a $1000 pc on top of the cost of this device to generate the 3d graphics at the required framerates to have a good experience. If all you want to do is watch pregenerated VR content(like movies and videos) the gear vr is much cheaper(if you have a…

That’s bullshit. There is almost no scenario where a traveler would willingly travel by plane to a destination without their cellphone. Smartphones are an essential part of modern American life. Business travelers depend on LiOn batteries to be productive on long flights. Many people read books on ereaders powered by…

There is a difference between corporate interests using sports to run advertising and changing the nature of the competition to suit the company. Activision or any publisher owning an eSports league is bad news, since it puts their titles front and center while other publisher’s games are at a disadvantage.

It would be…

I think this whole process really came to the forefront after the Wii U holiday debacle. You had a console primarily targeted towards young children, which needed a multi hour update once first powered on. While all modern consoles require updates nowadays, that Wii U situation is still a strong memory in many…

The awards used to be an exciting event. However Spike drove it into the ground by emphasizing the trailers and shoving actual award presentations into commercial breaks. The last Spike awards was a trainwreck since it played to stereotypes and wasn’t even televised.

I really dislike that statistic. Mobile and casual gaming rapidly evens out that ratio since almost everyone has a smartphone and most people tend to have a game or two on them. However The Game Awards and most game journalism does not cover that realm. It is more heavily focused on ‘core’ games like general AAA…

Lucas did not give the Star Wars license to EA, Disney did. While LucasArts was responsible for some great games including this one, its last few years were a disaster and a failure. At least there are Star Wars games coming out now.

No. Geosynchronous orbits are defined as when the orbital velocity of the object matches the radial velocity of the Earth. Therefore the satellite ‘apparently’ stays perfectly above one spot on Earth.

Looks like a rotary dispenser for cruise missiles.
