With discussion about the supposed satellite images from Nov 14th showing a "disturbance" I checked a commercial satellite company's website and only found a couple images that a LANDSAT took in this time period of about a week or so. I was able to pick out the Nimitz pretty easily as it's quite large and flat, however, as you can tell from the resolution of the images, any "tic tac" would be less than a pixel at this scale. I'm going to keep looking around these images but don't expect to find anything, if anyone wants to look as well the links are below.

So, I've seen a lot of people reference this blog post lately: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-how-fast-are-vita-memory-cards

I didn't believe that their test was an accurate way of determining the performance of a vita memory card because they had a lot of uncontrolled variables. So, I decided to write my own PSM application to check their numbers for myself.

The first test (Texture load) is calling a system function to load a 4 MB .bmp and then turn it into a texture.

The second test (Texture load 2) is the same texture but scaled down to 256 KB.

The third test (Large Write) is writing a 10 MB file to the /Temp folder (the file is just 1,2,3,4,5,...,255,1,2,3,...,etc)

Hello again r/vita,

Sorry I'm a bit late with this but here is the bracket information: http://challonge.com/rvitazombietycoontourny

I will send out reminder PMs to everyone involved some time tomorrow. There were only 5 empty spots if we went with a 32 player bracket so I decided to do that. If your matchup is against an "empty" player you may consider that an automatic win. The format for the bracket names is reddit username/PSN username.

###Rules

  • The bracket will be double elimintation. (you must lose twice before you are out)
  • Each round must be completed within one week or you forfeit your match. The deadline is Wensday at 8 pm EST.
  • By default each matchup is a best of 1, howe

Hello r/vita,

Having played a bit of Zombie Tycoon 2 multiplayer I have realized it has some potential as a competive strategy game which is refreshing as I can't think of any other vita game in that genre. However the matches I have played up to this point haven't been that competitive mainly because the game was just released and the random people I've played don't have much of a strategy put together. This has prompted me to create this tournament to get some better matches going. Plus I think it will be fun.

###What is Zombie Tycoon 2?

Zombie Tycoon 2 is a strategy game for PS3 and vita where each player has two squads of zombies, a hero monster and a mobile base. The zombie squads c

My passenger window broke and I'm replacing it. I got the door trim off but found out my window isn't made like most car windows. It has holes and there are three bolts that sandwich the glass. My question is how do I unsandwich the broken glass so I can sandwich the replacement glass and put it in the car? Do I need a special tool or something? I tried moving it with screwdrivers but it seems pretty stuck.

The engine has 170k miles on it. The original turbo wasn't working when my brother got the car. My brother had a new one fitted and it worked fine for about a week and then it stopped working. This was about two years ago and at the time I don't believe the turbo was leaking oil. I don't believe the turbo was leaking much oil when I got the car a year later either.

It is leaking from the turbo now though, I'm probably going through a quart of 20W-50 every 200 miles. I had to buy 4 pronged spark plugs because the amount of oil buildup on the plugs caused the engine to miss and even die once. The oil also looks very, very black when I change it at 3,000 miles.

I'm pretty sure it's coming fro

Engine: 1988 I4 2.2L turbo I

A bit of background first, this was my brother's car before he gave it to me about a year ago. The turbo wasn't working at first so he had it replaced and it was working great for about 2 weeks until it stopped working again. It hasn't worked since.

Anyways, I checked the turbine today on the intake side and it was spinning freely. I was also checking out the general area and didn't see anything obviously wrong. I now want to make sure that the wastegate is working properly. I tried moving the control arm but it wouldn't budge, I didn't push very hard because I didn't want to break it, guessing this is normal? Also the intake manifold obscures most of the turbo

Everyone is doing a presentation in my organic chem II class about a drug and one of the requirements is that the synthesis is at least 8 steps. I don't believe he mentioned it had to be derived from benzene but I would really prefer it was. After searching around for a while, I've found that pretty much every synthesis I could find on the internet was only like 3-5 steps and they almost never started from benzene and I didn't know the majority of the reactions used and most of the time I had no idea where to start to create my own synthesis. The best drug I have found so far is benzocaine but I figured that would be 6 steps, not 8.
