You're all wrong! Clearly a SpacePilot Pro for movement and a Novint Falcon for orientation is the only way to play games. Anything else is an affront to the industry, quite frankly.

Succinct and informative post, thank you. Others have touched on the surveillance aspect, which I can understand, especially if the US government is using them on US citizens, but you seem to touch on the protestations I originally saw which seems to be around the use of UAVs as weapons delivery...

Now this I did not know, is the CIA a civilian agency? That seems messy from a rules of engagement/laws of war standpoint. What do people generally think then of the companies and people that develop and build these things? There's a good chance I'll find myself as part of this...

Apologies, as mentioned I'm from Northern Ireland, and I'm not too savvy on the correct titles applied to foreign heads of state. I used 'Mr.' because he's male. Many thanks to everyone who replied too, especially those who provided links for further reading, something for me to do tomorrow...

First, apologies if this should be in the Politics section, I was in two minds about where to stick it. Mr. Obama is in my part of the world this week for this G8 craic, and my facebook is awash with people complaining about the usual stuff, economics, middle east, etc. But there are at least...

From the United Kingdom so yeh I prefer a normal gearstick. I've only driven autos a few times and found them profusely annoying, even the ones with the sequential change on the steering wheel. Also prefer saloons, not sure why, I just think they look better and tend to be more stable, but...

I'm going to go with the D.VII, which gave the Allies such a hard time it was specifically mentioned in the Armistice that Germany had to hand them all over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZZ82xiWP7w Honorable mention would go to the Bf 109F, before it started getting all fat, and the...

Out of boredom, I ran some numbers into an aircraft sizing spreadsheet I made last year. A 140 (so 737/A320 twinjet) passenger aircraft, at 175lbs per passenger, gives 45000lbs of fuel to travel 3500 nautical miles at M0.8. Increasing the weight of each passenger to 240lbs with identical...

Makes sense, billions are being spent on more efficient engines, aerodynamics research, operational considerations etc. in the interest of saving money, weight makes everything worse.

64% of people never meeting Wrex is surprising. A lot of people must have just jumped into the series late. I haven't completed it on insanity, female Shepherd, naturally. And of course I didn't kill Mordin. I miss him so.

Evening all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of meeting members of the opposite sex when their friends are also of the opposite sex? Maybe I'll clarify, most of my social circle are male, and I'm wondering if this is making it harder for me to meet chaps on nights out. I'm the...

I'm actually surprised there's been so little people saying motorsport isn't a sport. I was all ready to jump to its defense and everything. It requires a certain kind of fitness I suppose, dealing more with muscle fatigue and sheer heat. Kazuki Nakajima trained by playing tennis then running...

Hoping someone can help me with this, not sure if it belongs here or in the Advice section though. I had to reinstall Windows recently after my HDD threw a wobbly, and reinstalled Mass Effect, but I can't get Bring Down the Sky to install, as it keeps telling me the key is invalid. Also, I...

Looks more like that thing wants to have me for dinner, not take me to it.

Time travel implies teleportation anyway. Unless you can instantly teleport yourself as well as jump through time, the earth will be in a different place and you'll suffocate.
