Makes total sense, and am surprised that this isn't the situation at the moment. Or in fact, disappointed that it appears that people are more willing to take figures at face value without wondering how the scientists drew their conclusions. - Duncan

Doesn't it? I'm fairly astounded that source code *isn't* part of the peer review procedure. - Tont Coles

WHAR IS MARIO BROSE? - Tont Coles

Who gives a fuck, it's a hateful barrel of crap. - Mark Sorrell

I like how there's no Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort to be seen. - Tont Coles

"just before he reached the end zone, with 17 seconds remaining, Stokley cut right at 90 degrees and ran across the field. Six seconds drained off the clock before, at last, he meandered across the goal line to score the winning touchdown... ...It’s hard to think of a better example of a professional athlete doing something so obviously inspired by the tactics of videogame football. When I caught up with Stokley by telephone a few weeks later, I asked him point-blank: “Is that something out of a videogame?” “It definitely is,” Stokley said. “I think everybody who’s played those games has done that” — run around the field for a while at the end of the game to shave a few precious seconds off the clock. Stokley said he had performed that maneuver in a videogame “probably hundreds of times” before doing it in a real NFL game. “I don’t know if subconsciously it made me do it or not,” he said. - Tont Coles

It's pretty cool when they show you the in car camera during the Formula 1 and you know the track from Forza and you're like this *leans from side to side* - Steve

Oh my! I do like that. - Benny from BuddyFeed

According to the US, private enterprise can shoulder the cost of human spaceflight and the vehicles such a costly endeavour requires. DAMN STRAIGHT. NASA should stick to what it does best - make or contribute to fantastic probes for a lot less cost per launch that work for years beyond their mission parameters. - Tont Coles

Some awesome bits in this, including a SWEET in-car vid of Derek Bell blasting this cocksucker along Le Mans. - Tont Coles

The road going ones are seriously beautiful. You had a video of some posh man driving a black one, I seem to remember. I could watch that now. - Mark Sorrell

Can't remember if this is region free or not. I think it's just US/Jap. - Tont Coles

Bastards. - Mark Sorrell

Some dude who worked in a coffee shop in a swanky part of LA: "Carl Weathers - He was in almost every day. Super nice, chatted with the staff a lot, but had a bluetooth headset on ALL THE TIME." - Tont Coles

I fucking WISH I'd been at the same party as Mel Gibson. - Tont Coles

So GeoHot uses his own board to manually glitch the memory bus while it's resetting a load of memory for the hypervisor, meaning the HV misses a bit of RAM that Geohot can then 'widen' to encompass the entire system RAM. He has to press the button to deliver the glitch himself! This is almost as awesome as the tweezer attack on the Wii's RAM in GC mode to dump all the encryption keys through a gamepad port. - Tont Coles

Yeah, was reading through that this morning being mind boggled at how this is such a sick hack. - Benny from BuddyFeed

The hero "Absolutely Victorious Make-Ranger," was run over by a car on his way to fight the Last Boss, "Demon General Mr. Tanaka DEATH-DARK!!!" You, the protagonist, happened to be buying groceries nearby, were thus selected to inherit the mantle, and the duty to defeat the Demon General. Of course, you'll need to undergo a lot of special training by crawling through a series of randomly generated, isometric-perspective dungeons infested with monsters. - Tont Coles

Nippon Ichi has managed what Sony ain't, which is to make me *this* close to getting a PSP aka Nippon Ichi Player - Steven Bailey

"This is not science fiction, and no laws of physics were broken in this model," said John Singleton of Los Alamos National Laboratory at a press briefing at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, DC. "And Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity is not violated." - Tont Coles

But I be it feels violated - a moving violation. - Daniel Griliopoulos

" have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip" - Tont Coles

Kid got skillz. Mad props. - Benny from BuddyFeed

"takes about 40 minutes to assemble". - Tont Coles

Used in Bolt, Disney is giving away its cutting-edge texture mapping library as the first of an open source initiative in its CGI departments. - Tont Coles

"Ultrahigh pressures, the kind of pressures found in huge gas giants like Neptune and Uranus are some of the places where ultrahigh temperatures and ultrahigh pressures exist. Eggert and his colleagues placed a small, natural, clear diamond, about a tenth of a carat by weight and half a millimeter thick, and blasted it with lasers at ultrahigh pressures. The scientists liquefied the diamond at pressures 40 million times greater than what a person feels when standing at sea level on Earth. From there they slowly reduced the temperature and pressure. When the pressure dropped to about 11 million times the atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth and the temperature dropped to about 50,000 degrees solid chunks of diamond began to appear. The pressure kept dropping, but the temperature of the diamond remained the same, with more and more chunks of diamond forming. Then the diamond did something unexpected. The chunks of diamond didn't sink. They floated. Microscopic diamond ice burgs floating in a tiny sea of liquid diamond. The diamond was behaving like water." - Tont Coles

That's some-kind of alchemy right there - David Steer

According to Autocar, an anonymous Bugatti Veyron owner has found maintenance on his 253 MPH hypercar so expensive he trailers it to his favorite roads, then flies there in his private jet to save money. Apparently, the English Bugatti owner was tired of paying $21,000 for a routine service, $38,500 for a set of four tires and $46,000 every fourth tire change to have his wheels x-rayed to check for stress fractures. In comparison, an annual service on a Ferrari Enzo costs just $2,730. - Tont Coles

"Knupple suddenly grabbed [Vonfeldt's] hand and pulled it against his penis as he ejaculated on it. Knupple then landed the plane and [Vonfeldt] immediately left work." - Tont Coles

"...the illegal wares for sale on the collector site ASSEMbler, where a user named dulledblade posted a series of pictures in an attempt to prove the legitimacy of the copies. Dulledblade claimed to have pulled the betas off of four nonworking Xbox 360 test kits and instructs that the games have to be played on an Xbox 360 development kit (XDK), which he also sells, for $1,150 each (once again, shipping is included). Package deals featuring an XDK and a copy of Splatterhouse are also apparently for sale by the same user." - Tont Coles

The James Bond one is my favourite. - Tont Coles

Free the James Bond one - Huw Evans

Is that a real one - one that takes MD carts? Or a plug in and select already installed games jobby? The cart slot looks like decoration for some reason. - Huw Evans

I was going to make a comment about the size of the table, but now opportunity for warm bonhomie has been thoroughly buttfucked by Duncan, whose favourite ever band is female solo artist Gala. - Steven Bailey
