NFL's First Broadcast In 3-D, Still Has Work To Do
darkwing_bmf writes "The NFL broadcast a live game to theaters in 3-D for the first time on Thursday night. The technology demonstration was mostly successful but they still have some issues to work out. 'Some scenes clearly captured the benefits of 3-D broadcasts, however, such as an interception by Chargers linebacker Stephen Cooper as players crisscrossed the field, and a long touchdown catch by San Diego's Vincent Jackson with the arc of the ball caught on camera all the way. Viewers were encouraged to text in their reaction to the viewing. One of the first comments, according to the commentators: "More cheerleaders."'"
This should be NHL in theater in 3D, football is teh suck.
There are two types of people in the world, those who are comfortable with their sexuality, whatever it may be, and those who feel the need to denigrate others because they're afraid of their own feelings. Can you guess which group your post puts you in?
This.

Sure, I can explain polarization this way:
See the post by fynqyrz http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1052969&cid=26008363
entitled Sure! up above. It's the first post can not miss it.
That is polarization and fynqyrz is the material doing the polarizing.
Science is fun.

The third consists of those who want to watch beautiful cheerleaders perform routines that emphasize their feminine, athletic and desirable traits, while wearing the skimpiest possible outfits
Hey, come on, quit trolling! They could be a LOT skimpier!
The reason you haven't heard any good description of polarization is that the left wing media has buried any discussion of anything that doesn't support the premis of global warming having to do with CO2 emmissions.
Simply put, polarization is the technical term for a material that change the orientation of the polar climates so they don't just happen on the earth's poles, but other places on earth. This would clearly counteract any hint of global warming.
So far they haven't come up with any inexpensive materials that can change the orientation of the earth's poles enough to counteract global warming on a large scale, although the materials that can are generally available in expensive "polarized" sunglasses. The way that "polarized" sun glasses work is that they cool down the light. This is beneficial in sunglasses so that your eyes aren't damaged as much as they would be in the "hot" light of the summer. On the larger scale this could actually change the global climate and prevent global warming.
Hopefully one of these days they'll discover a material inexpensive enough to reverse the trend of global warming on a planetary scale, but until then, you can do your own small part by supporting the polarized sun-glass industry by buying your own pair. Just be sure that when you aren't using them to cool down your eyes, you put them out in the sun to cool down your own small patch of earth.
Think of it like buying a hybrid car. Do your part for the environment.
As well as a 3D Cheerleader channel, there really needs to be a 3D women's beach volleyball channel. A 2D channel would be a start. The World needs this. Urgently.
VARIETY, Lack Of - Steven Soderbergh's new musical version of Cleopatra - in 3-D! - proves an incredible box-office same-old same-old. Starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as the fishnet-clad vaudeville jazz empress and Hugh Jackman as the mutant self-healing Roman general - in 3-D! - the film carries the Ocean's Eleven franchise somewhere beyond its ultimate extent.
"I've always wanted to do a musical," Soderbergh said. "All the ones that were coming along just weren't for me. This one, however, involved dumptrucks full of money backed up to my house."
Soderbergh pooh-poohed suggestions that the film would be some sort of low-rent exploitation quickie that would insult the intelligence of any creature smarter than a flatworm. "I can assure you this will be the most artistically satisfying creation in my entire career as a director," he said, lighting a cigar off a hundred-dollar bill before laying back on a great big bed made of money.
"DUMPTRUCKS!" Soderbergh emphasised. "FULL OF MONEY! BACKED UP TO MY HOUSE!"

Ah, the XFL, the bastard love child of the NFL and WWE... It was mildly entertaining for about two weeks -- which come to think about it, is about how long the XFL actually lasted.
On a podcast I listen to, the host made a really good point: The more you defend how straight you are the more you secretly want some dong.
How much do you love pussy, fyngyrz?
Podcasts are kind of gay, man. I don't think the host of a podcast is a reliable authority of the straight mindset.
You clearly haven't realized the potential this technology has for C-Span. Those politicians will almost seem like real human beings!
My webcomic
I want a huge dong to play with!
Perfect proof that I'm straight, ...right?
I rest my case. :P
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
