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.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs&#x

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 real (their numbers wouldn't float for a listed company and the

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 efficiently using the capital over the lifetime of the operati

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 owned by the respective developers. That database entry denotin

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 expensive. > While I'm nit-picking... Me too, Pinjarra is

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 are far more widespread. filter? I've been looking for sit

`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 | -8% | -12% | p3 | -31% | -12% | avg |

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 reduce return rates, and get replaced by new or refurbished

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 the field since the Panasonic days. iPad replaced them, but

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. - that get overlooked.

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 going to be a great release.

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 other products in their line.

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 trying to understand the nuances of it.

Apple's maps are really good. Google's maps are much better, generally, though. There are places where Apple has an advantage over Google, but Google has been pouring resources into Maps for a long time. Garmin, TomTom, Navteq, etc. won't b

I'd say it was, or at least as ready as it could have been. Problem is that everyone is behind Google on Maps. They're on Mars, everyone else is playing with baking soda and vinegar at Cape Canaveral. Apple would have to acquiesce to Goog

Maps are hard. The original Google Maps was pretty bad. Mapquest beat it much of the time. There was one road in my hometown, and none in many countries. Google devoted enormous resources to acquiring data (petabytes worth), processing it,
