    Six Years Later, Star Citizen Is Still Raking It In

    I agree with Mutiny. What I see is a developer coming up with creative ways to keep the doors open and push development along. The problem he has is balancing the creation of ships versus the development of the base universe. It is possible, that if he did not have to be creative with new ships...

    Russian Site-Blocking Chief: Kids Shouldn’t Use the Internet

    I don't really disagree. I built gaming PCs for everyone in the house and they surf and game. I see how it adversely affects their ability to focus without stimulus and how their grades suffer because real world stuff is boring and difficult compared to videos, surfing and gaming. I wish I never...

    Windows Game Mode Performance Preview - The Early Numbers are not Good...

    That is of course the real problem. Take my wife for example, until I changed her habits she used her browser tabs as her bookmarks. I checked and the amount of memory consumed was nuts. I think she had around 100 tabs at the time. She would complain about games stuttering for a period of time...

    Windows Game Mode Performance Preview - The Early Numbers are not Good...

    Thanks. I assume we are not the target audience for this mode. The greater audience would be my brother in law that doesn't know any better and has bloatware running and several other apps running. I've asked him why he doesn't use the PC for gaming and his answer is that his PC is to slow and...

    Windows Game Mode Performance Preview - The Early Numbers are not Good...

    I'm curious if the tests of this mode have been done with other apps running? Lets say there is facebook, skype, and twitter <insert all the crap people might run in the background> all running and THEN we enable this gaming mode. Is there a difference in framerate between having the mode...

    Does Anyone Know The Story Behind This Giant Computer?

    I doubt many people will know what SCADA means. "SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. In simple terms it refers to a computer system for analyzing and gathering data in real time."

    Does Anyone Know The Story Behind This Giant Computer?

    Looks like the small alcoves are for easy replacing vacuum tubes. No? It also appears to be for tracking the status of the factory equipment.

    AI Wars II on kickstarter

    Not sure if anyone knows about this, there is a kickstarter from the creator of AI Wars. I can't go to the link as I'm at work. If someone can post a link that would be great. Why should you care? Well... AI Wars classic is one of the few strategy games that I keep going back to. The AI...

    Elon Musk Blasts Critical Coverage of Self-Driving Cars: 'You're Killing People'

    I think this comment is what's sad. People will look at this and this will be the only important factor. Not the fact that the total number of deaths are going to go down. I completely understand the human nature aspect that will make this happen. I just find it unfortunate.

    Elon Musk Blasts Critical Coverage of Self-Driving Cars: 'You're Killing People'

    I agree with Elon's. I believe his only fault is to not take it a step further and connect the dots.

    What Sucks About HardOCP Video Card Reviews

    I liked this post but one can argue that this information is already present in the apples to apples chart. What other information would you want? -Edit- Well other than the issue that DX12 makes this impossible (for now) to create.
