Submission + - FIA ands Rome to Formula E 2014 inaugural season (engadget.com)

muon-catalyzed writes: Formula E — the new eco-friendly forumula racing just secured a major european city. Rome joins a growing eco-racing scene after Rio de Janeiro agreed to be part of it in August. Additional cities are expected in the coming weeks, this should quickly lead to a solidified race itinerary, the FIA says. Having Rome onside won't get cars to the starting line any sooner, but it may underscore Formula E's advantages in noise and pollution over gas-powered leagues — when its cars can race around the Colosseum without creating a ruckus, other cities (and spectators) might just follow suit.

ORLY? The new console has to be powerful otherwise iPad or a high-end smartphone might be a sufficient replacement.

Nexgen console should be "future proof" enough to handle upcoming games like the ever demanding "Elder Scrolls" franchise and similar titles.

It looks like Nintendo is cutting corners by using a mobile grade CPU to gain some profit from the hardware. Also, I've noticed on Wikipedia, the drive has no Blu-ray compatibility? That is no good news either.

Oh, how I pity those big ass mega corps getting burned over their short sightedness by lifting a used term, Amazon, Apple, Sun.., how unoriginal, how non-authentic, how false, you can't even have a Wikipedia page without some serious elbowing and constant clashes, oh poor ones, cry us an amazon.

cosmological constant which he didn't abandon
Maybe this is because Einstein studied equations, he needed that constant so the model would hold mathematically, his discoveries might have been simply observations he saw in those formulas, you can move and swap variables left right in the energy equations to get exciting and unexpected relationships that involve time, mass velocity and energy.

The mechanics of serving today, they got like 10000 hosts stuffed into one machine, the hoster knows well that 90% of those sites are idling most of the time, so it is not an issue, but has the multicore muscle to save the day in a busy thread spike. The I/O bottleneck is actually not a problem, there are very few high traffic websites. A common web hoster just needs a low-power hexa, octa or better multicore on the cheap.
