It's really easy! Seismic surveys are key to the oil & gas industry, and can be used for other resources as well. We use thumper trucks instead of waiting for earthquakes.

Benchmark applications are not GPUs. Besides that, GFXBench 2.7 doesn't support ES 3.0 and that's what most of the comparisons with other current-gen GPUs have used.

That's what CCP did with the EVE-VR demo, and it makes sense in the context of a flight sim. It'll be interesting to see what developers come up with for FPSes. http://community.ev…

Correct. Haswell is LGA 1150, SB/IB were LGA 1155.

There is another deposit in Nevada called Kings Valley that is in feasibility. It's about 300,000 tonnes LCE, and fairly likely to go into production. If the Wyoming deposit it rea…

No, it's really the economics of it. Lithium and other evaporite minerals are usually concentrated in ponds so the evaporation rate can play a part, but usually it's a matter of ef…

Local currencies are a mess of jurisdiction, but generally legitimate currency, or for the purposes of this document, 'real'. Linden Dollars (along with WoW gold, EVE ISK), are own…

They probably haven't filed anything, if they get a couple bites then they will.

It's the same reason natural cryolite isn't used - it's not economically viable. Lots of countries grow all the agricultural products. Aluminum isn't hard, just potentially more ex…

This sounds like a PR stunt. Un-prefixed declarations are everywhere. They're part of every framework, and what every developer tries first. Then comes -webkit, -o, -moz. IE hacks …

`border-radius` has been usable for about a year on everything except IE. `-webkit-border-radius` has little reason to exist, and is only around for token backwards compatibility.

Benchmarks don't mean much until it's released, if ever. But I was playing around with it, and it's hard not to get excited about performance! | mem | time | p1 | -24% | -3% | p2 |…

> The origins of the fighter are equally murky, although superficial similarities to the U.S. F-22 and F-35 have fueled speculation in the West that Beijing based the J-31′s design…

Serviceability has nothing to do with reliability, for one. They're designed to not be serviced by anyone - not customers, not retail staff. So, they have better quality parts that…

I'm surprised at the swooning over the form factor, not just from Gruber but the rest of the press, including big-fingered die-hards like Darymple. We've been deploying tablets in …

Multiple remotes are easy. Three lines in the config to push to Github and Bitbucket. Which is great if you rely on either service. It's everything else - hooks, wiki, issues, etc.…

Yeah, the good ol' inflector. There's actually more to it, it can use locales now and it's been cleaned up: http://davidcelis.com/blog/2012/07/31/edge-rails-a-multiling... It's goi…

With apologies to Her Majesty, Canada has more progressive banking regulation.

It's a different way to price products - they charge per user. So, if your little startup starts growing, they bring in a bit of cash and have opportunities to up-sell with the oth…

They fuzz the numbers displayed - everything internally uses the real upvote/downvote count. It's so bots can't figure out if they've been flagged or not.

Amazon and Steam work the same for me in Canada/Latin America - have to use a local card. That said, I've still been able to make some purchases without switching. I've long given …
