HTTP:: No Multiplayer Beta for RAGE Demo Discussed

These days, most videogames are trying to attract some player input even before the title is out, usually via closed or open beta stages that iron out the last bugs and gauge the reaction coming on release day. But RAGE is pretty much confirmed as not featuring a multiplayer beta and id Software seems to be thinking about not even offering a demo.Todd Hollenshead, who is the boss of id Software, told VG247 that “I doubt there will be an open beta,†adding that “The demo question is hard to answer, because I don’t know what the development cycle will be like.

The chips will be the first of their kind, as they feature a dual-core processor with integrated graphics in the same chip package.According to reports on the Internet, the new Arrandale processors will initially be made available under the Core i7 and Core i5 brands, using the chip maker's advanced 32nm technology.

Video games are a form of entertainment, just like TV shows or movies, meaning that they must follow certain guidelines in order to prevent exposing younger people to images that might have a lasting impact on them. That is why there are plenty of rating systems, with the two most important ones coming from the ESRB, which handles things in the United States, and PEGI, which is right at home in many European countries. But in Germany, the USK rating system is used, which, coupled with strict guidelines from the government, cuts a lot of content out of many games, like blood and other such imagery. This fact, plus the project of several interior ministers in the country to punish those who create and distribute violent video games, has generated an uproar among developers in Germany. We've heard Crytek, maker of shooters like Far Cry or Crysis, say that it might move from the country if such an initiative was approved, and now the EA executive vice president and general ma!

Among the scientific experiments that will be taken to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the space shuttle Discovery, there is one that was designed by experts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). The experimental heat-transfer system will be installed aboard the station for a total of three years, after which time it will be brought back on Earth, for analysis. The project is called the Constrained Vapor Bubble (CVB).The new instrument could provide a better understanding of processes involving the nature of heat and mass transfer operations, such as evaporation, condensation, and boiling. The reason why it will be different from other similar experiments is the fact that it will take place outside the Earth's atmosphere, in microgravity, and under precisely controlled lab conditions, its creators say. Results collected with the CVB could also lead to the development of new cooling systems for spacecraft and other orbital structures in the future. “A!

HTTP:: Analyzing Tremors 039 Impact on Buildings
--------
Earthquakes usually take only a few seconds to bring down even the most solid buildings, if their epicenter is close enough to the structures. Knowing precisely what is happening in the first seconds when a tremor hits, as far as the structural integrity of the building goes, is therefore a huge goal for engineers and architects. This could help them work together so that, in the future, the number of victims that fall prey to sudden earthquakes is reduced to a minimum. Testing the effect of earthquakes in real-life situations, such as actually building a several-story construction on a mobile plate, and beginning to shake it, is in most cases a prohibitively expensive endeavor, which cannot be supported by anyone. Such was the case of a collaboration of American and Japanese researchers, from the University of Buffalo and the Kyoto University, which tried out a hybrid approach at studying tremors and buildings. “One of the key issues in earthquake engineering is how much!
damage structures can sustain before collapsing so people can safely evacuate. We don't really know the answer because testing buildings to collapse is so difficult. With this hybrid approach, it appears that we have a safe, economic way to test realistic buildings at large scales to collapse,†UB As...

Many people believe that things such as teleportation, invisibility cloaks and time travel pertain only to science-fiction movies and books, but renowned theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku believes that they may be a lot closer than we think.

In “Physics of the Impossible,†his most recent book, the scientist says that the only thing standing between humankind and these seemingly impossible devices is time.

Volcanic lava forms some peculiar structures in the deep ocean, including underwater tunnels, which apparently become home to some of the world's most peculiar animal species. The Tunnel de la Atlantida, the longest such formation in the world, recently revealed one of its most peculiar inhabitants, a new eyeless crustacean species, which its discoverers dubbed Speleonectes atlantida. Details of the animal will appear in a September special issue of the journal Marine Biodiversity. In addition to the crustacean, the underwater cave also revealed two new species of annelid worms, LiveScience reports. The tunnel, which is located near the Canary Islands, off the western coast of northern Africa, was formed after the eruption of the Monte Corona volcano, which took place some 20,000 years ago, on the island of Lanzarote.

Actress Lindsay Lohan is again having house trouble and, as Radar Online points out, this time it’s not even her fault. Since her house has been burglarized for the second time in less than four months, the number of paparazzi camped at her gate has increased considerably and it’s disrupting the peace of the neighborhood, which is why neighbors have decided to let her know that she’s no longer wanted in the community. The star has always been a media magnet, which became only more obvious when she started hitting the party circuit and getting herself into all sorts of trouble, as fans must know. It’s no wonder then that the paps also know where she lives, which means at least a dozen of them are permanently camped outside her home, waiting for her to return from town or to come out of the house. This is making life in the neighborhood a pain in the neck and everybody wants things to go back to how they were before she moved there, a neighbor tells Radar under the !
cover of anonymity. “The truth is that this is a very quiet neighborhood and there have been no break-ins apart from at Lindsay Lohan’s house.

While the Grand Canyon in the US may be the most spectacular such formation back on Earth, its splendor is far surpassed by the magnificent beauty of a similar, yet far larger formation on the face of Mars, called Valles Marineris. There are also other differences between the two, such as the fact that geologists actually know how the Grand Canyon formed, whereas its counterpart's origin has been shrouded in mystery until now, Space reports. “How did these gigantic canyons really form? Were they all formed by floods, or were other things going on? These have been controversial questions going back to the very first Mariner pictures of Mars. And they're still controversial questions, which means we don't really fully understand what's going on yet,†University of Washington in Seattle astronomer John Adams, who is also the lead author of a new study that proposes another explanation for Valles Marineris, says.

With most of them older than half a century, these constructions are right now beginning to show signs of fatigue, and endanger thousands of people living below their floodgates. If when they were first constructed they posed no danger at all, because they were built in remote areas, this is no longer the case. Sprawling cities and development areas are located near most of the large ones, Wired reports. According to the latest report released by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the 140 dams that were repaired last year were replaced in 2009 by about 368 others, which need large-scale repairs.
