    When you need that 5th Element feel

    Looks more like Al from Full Metal Alchemist...if he ever got his armor power coated black.

    I have just blown my own mind...

    Take the potato, wash it, dry it, poke holes in it. Put on a thin coat of oil, then kosher salt. Bake at 475 F for 1 hour directly on the oven rack (put a catch tray of aluminum -or aluminium for you brits-under to catch the oil that drips so you don’t have to clean the oven again) This will...

    Is the new Vulture too similar to that EVE ship?

    The cab and chassis look very similar to a construction excavator. The engines on the side are very drake in their design and placement. The twin arms are what makes it similar to the venture. You could also say the twin arms makes it similar to the SDF-1 or Macross ship with the booms in...

    Played some this morning before work. 600i is BUGGY...beautiful, but OMG the bugs!. Lots of issues with it, but most of all, half of the controls don't work, are missing, or only work for certain angles. Smoke permeates the crew quarters and crew rest rooms are bugged. Captains quarters are...

    3.2 invites are out for Concierge, Subscribers, Wave One.

    Anyone want to get on sometime and race a connie vs a 600? I am thinking three stages. Start at Port Olisar, end at Levski. Take off, quantum, then land. (outside) I want to test some of the statements made by the devs about "getting there first" Maybe it's a quantum speed, maybe something...

    Bottleneck suggestions (hardware upgrading)

    If you want to improve your times and assuming it’s not server related or just sloppy code.. Memory (32GB) CPU and motherboard. Video card is fine and so is the ssd but it’s pretty small. Is that your game drive, your boot drive or both? If separate, what is the other drive and what does it do...

    [Video] Montoya rips Sid Alpha a new one

    If he was threatened, then he should contact the authorities and CIG. Let them handle things and leave it at that

    States That Drink The Most Beer

    We need to recruit this young lady!

    Yes, a fuel valve you would want to fail closed. There are instances you want a valve to fail closed. The problem was the blanket statement before of you want it to always fail closed, that is not the case. You want them to fail into a safe mode. For example, a water heater has a safety...

    Ohhhhh, the hypocrisy!

    Sure, they start off with a lot of ships, but they can only use one at a time. For many, they need someone else to play with them as well...potentially lots of people. They probably won’t have enough money to hire tons on NPCs, even if they maxed out their UEC purchases. Finally, the economy...

    Oh, same things with engines and turbo/super chargers. That waste gate is a safety valve that opens when pressures get too high. You definitely don’t want that failing in a closed position unless you want your engine scattered on the surrounding pavement/landscape

    We need to recruit this young lady!

    My wife is a process engineer that designs safety systems for plants. I am a root cause analysis guy with a background in system operations, EMS/SCADA, and Relays/protection systems. The relay/protection system work I deal with is really not that much different than flow and pressure in piping...

    Umm, it depends really. In certain situations, you might want valves to fail open it depends on the nature of the chemical, process, and positions in the piping. For instance, you do not want a Valve that is placed down flow of a pump to fail closed. Case in point, a check valve operates in...
