Mega-earthquake... that would be what in magnitude? 10+?

I think 8.0 or 8.5 or something. I don't know. That's what the reporter called it. Clearly a 5.6, 7.2, and a 5.3 in less then a week leads most people to believe something is going on.

I was right under it, about 17 miles away from the epicenter.

I didn't feel it very much due to the fact that I was outside on just regular ground and walking/moving, however, my sisters and mum were inside of the house and they felt it shake quite well. Doesn't help the fact that we also live in a bloody 80 year old wood house sitting on a CONCRETE and BRICK foundation. :D

Mega-earthquakes probably don't even exist, the only place you could create such an earthquake is in one of two situations.

1) A subduction zone, such as the one that was in the December and caused the Tsunami.

2) A asteroid could trigger something akin to a mega-earthquake.

The first is much more probable then the second, and a true mega-earthquake (above the richter scale's limit of 10) would be more likely to happen in the mentioned subduction zone, so if you truly want to see some part of the Western U.S. break away from the mainland, Washington and Oregon (both within range of the Cascadia subduction zone) are much more probable candidates then California. but please do not put faith in my words for this is only what I can remember from what I have read in various areas of the internet.

EDIT: Here you guys go, more likely that Canada, Oregon and Washington will slip into the sea than California. :D

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
