Re: UK Gov backs plans for spaceport.
Sorry yeh, I was only referring to the Jet Engines Rolls Royce make. Do they still make airframes? I don't think reaction engines have any designs on making Airframes in near future. Certainly Alan Bond thinks that's a fools errand based on his statements in the Lectures I've tracked down on the int...

Re: UK Gov backs plans for spaceport.
This hasn't got anything to do with Politics with Europe In my opinion. I know that ESA wants a space port for polar launches and has been looking for one. This is just the UK giving the green-light that it could happen in the UK rather than another country, especially as the current government have...

Re: So, New Xbox Reveal In About 14 Hours.
If retailers had some way of signing a specific license code back into stock that could let xbox live know that the game has been returned and automatically free-up the license for resale. Just an idea.

Re: Halo the TV Series

Right now I'm actually struggling to understand how much geeks are losing their shit over the details of this annoucement. They absolutely hate it.

That's exactly what it is, untuned or poorly tuned kinects. Remember you have to have the volume at a reasonable level as well, or it won't function well. I wonder how many people jacked the volume up while watching the event. You should retune it everytime you move the kinect as well as it really i...

Re: Star Trek into Darkness - Synopsis
If the audience can see the death scene and the resurrection scene coming miles away, it takes away the dramatic impact of Kirk's sacrifice. JJ Abrams seems to have reinforced my negative view of him as the director of the next Star Wars. Rather than have the balls to make something different from ...

Re: Star Trek into Darkness - Synopsis
The film is far more entertaining than that synopsis makes it sound. It fits together much better than the previous film as well. And it's unfair to say they just copied Khan or Space Seed. Up until the end none of the important plot points are the same. They basically reversed the roles for the fin...

Re: The Skylon Space Plane - One step closer
The article is about a successful test of a full size pre-cooler.
You could attach that pre-cooler to any engine, or even anything that needs pre-cooling, it doesn't have to be Sabre. Their proof of concept for a super-sonic aircraft doesn't use Sabre for example.

Also, it doesn't look they are dumping CO2 and Nitrogen. It's not really a LACE engine at all.

Re: The Skylon Space Plane - One step closer
They aren't liquefying the air in this engine while pre-cooling. The engineering of how that will work is over my head though.

Halo 4 is a great game. Campaign one of the best shooter campaigns I've played in years. an ACTUAL STORY. With emotional heart strings and themes! A bit of cheese at the end I guess but that's absolutely fine with me when i'm having so much fun. Probably the best Halo actually. 343 have really shown...

Re: Is this a scam?
It's a scam, your computer doesn't report faults to Microsoft that they then forward to a third party.
There are always errors regarding something or other in the event viewer it means nothing on it's own.

Maybe the problem isn't how the players performed so much as what's available to Hodgson to begin with? English football has serious trouble developing quality players, I've said that since the very start of this thread. But Hodgson has to work with the players he has, and neither he, Capello, Harr...

Also have to say, I had no issue understanding what was going on with the game. It doesn't spoon feed you, and you do need to actually listen to what is being said to you, and talk to people... but it tells you all you need to know if you are playing it like a proper RPG. Been a while since I've act...
