It's really easy! Seismic surveys are key to the oil & gas industry, and can be used for other resources as well. We use thumper trucks instead of waiting for earthquakes.

Benchmark applications are not GPUs.

Besides that, GFXBench 2.7 doesn't support ES 3.0 and that's what most of the comparisons with other current-gen GPUs have used.

Correct. Haswell is LGA 1150, SB/IB were LGA 1155.

No, it's really the economics of it. Lithium and other evaporite minerals are usually concentrated in ponds so the evaporation rate can play a part, but usually it's a matter of efficiently using the capital over the lifetime of the operation.

It's easy to drill more wells or build more ponds.

I work in the industry and, as luck would have it, am on a project near the facility in Nevada.

Local currencies are a mess of jurisdiction, but generally legitimate currency, or for the purposes of this document, 'real'.

Linden Dollars (along with WoW gold, EVE ISK), are owned by the respective developers. That database entry denoting your Titan isn't yours per se, you're just allowed to have it rendered as long as you abide by the terms of service.

They probably haven't filed anything, if they get a couple bites then they will.

It's the same reason natural cryolite isn't used - it's not economically viable. Lots of countries grow all the agricultural products. Aluminum isn't hard, just potentially more expensive.

> While I'm nit-picking...

Me too, Pinjarra is where the refinery for the largest producing bauxite mine is. And the refinery operates today because of cheap coal in Australia.

As is the case with many industrial minerals, it's often far cheaper to ship raw ore or concentrates to smelters built where electricity is cheap. Aluminum is no exception, and electricity cost is the reason there is a refinery in Iceland, despite being far from any bauxite mines.

The story really isn't that no country can't make a can of Coke, but why they don't. It's a fascinating story, unfortunately mostly told through feasibility spreadsheets.

I'm in the industry and it's not hard to think of all the steps ranging hundreds of millions of years to put an apple on my desk (there's volcanoes and inland seas! Dinosaurs if you stretch your mind!). This is a good summary. If he got any deeper, it'd be a book.

This sounds like a PR stunt.

Un-prefixed declarations are everywhere. They're part of every framework, and what every developer tries first. Then comes -webkit, -o, -moz. IE hacks are far more widespread. filter?

I've been looking for sites without un-prefixed declarations for an hour and come up short. If there is any merit to this, I'd love to hear it.

`border-radius` has been usable for about a year on everything except IE. `-webkit-border-radius` has little reason to exist, and is only around for token backwards compatibility.
