The Hobbit [1] is the only movie I can think of that is shot at a higher frame rate, it being shot at 48 fps. [1] http://www.fastcocreate.com/1682085/will-the-hobbit-start-a-...

I don't think that would be a big problem. Hydrogen embrittlement lowers the strength of the material, which I don't think is a major problem with hard drives. They're really never in any load-bearing conditions and you try n

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Good handloads are better than anything you can buy. However, I personally don't see extremely experienced shooters buying this rifle. It seem's to be more of a gun for the moderately experienced who want

I am stuck wondering if this is an ironic comment are not. Obviously you wouldn't buy 16 Exxon Mobils. He used it as an extremely profitable company, and I guess you could say just buy the top 16 most profitable companies. Cold fusion? Any

From the article, > "The problem with hand loading is that you just have inconsistent results. Some people do it very good, and some don't. What I really want to avoid is the situation where someone says, 'Look, your gun doesn't work.

I'm confused if this is sarcasm or not. I'd like to believe sarcasm, but if it's not, then could you explain why they would ever drop 32 bit support outright? Perhaps on new versions, but are there not problems that come with 64 bit install

Point #2 is also pretty cool. In order to prevent overcome problems of creep, the turbine blades can be made in a single crystal [1] [2]. This prevents much/all of the creep, as creep is associated with grain boundaries. It's pretty phenome

Graphene is simply a single layer of carbon atoms. If you roll one up, voila, you have a carbon nanotube you've been hearing about for the past 10 years. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have similar properties as graphene (act as a metal or a semic

How did you do get your result? I calculated 758 Tbits/second [1] or 95 Tbytes/second [2]. I think you or I may be missing a conversion somewhere. [1] http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=180%2C530kg%2F1lb+*+3Tb... [2] http://www.wolfram

At the large research university I work at in a lab, almost all of the computers run XP, and a few even run Windows 2000. Is it frustrating to use IE6 on the Windows 2000 computer? Yes. However, the software for the old equipment we have is

Your comment is true, they are the most successful companies to date in their respective markets. However, Tesla is the only company that makes a fully electric small sports car, besides the recent Fisker Karma which has yet to see widespre
