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."'"
No, that doesn't follow. Being enthusiastically hetero is not at all the same as being homophobic
No, but describing that everything you don't like as a vivid representation of homoeroticism kind of is. Football isn't suppose to get a sexual rise out of men. It's a game of simulated warfare and athletic strategy. It's attraction to a typical man's adrenal gland falls under the star of Ares rather than Venus. If your worldview is absorbed by the binary distribution of "Does it turn me on sexually or is it for teh gays?" then your condition is considered a disorder and downright creepy by the opposite sex. It is admittedly healthier than an obsession with violence, and easier to cure as you probably just need to get laid or lay off the porn for a while. Go camping or something.
I am the richest astronaut ever to win the superbowl.
This just in: Athletes should wear baggy pants otherwise insecure career nerds will feel threatened by alleged homo-eroticism.
You don't like football. Stop posting in a thread about football.
I might be going out on a limb here, but my first guess would be to chalk it up to delivery and attitude. I play videogames daily, watch football every Sunday, read classical literature at night, and see Avril Lavigne when she's on tour. There are literally 0 people who give a shit about the things I do, and yet I've never been told to shut up about it. Is there any chance you have a hateful or smug tone when you tell them their hobby doesn't interest you? I'm dead serious here, I get asked on daily basis if I've seen X Show and never once has someone been offended that I don't share their favorites.
I wonder how the glasses distinguish between the two?
You know how a drill bit or a corkscrew spirals from front to back? That spiral can twist clockwise as you go from front to back, or it can twist counterclockwise.
Imagine the front surface of one lens - a sheet one molecule thick - is a vertically polarized filter. The light then passes deeper into the lens, and again you have a one-molecule-thick sheet of polarizing material, except this layer is tilted 5 degrees to the left (or tilted 5 degrees to the right). As you pass deeper through the lens you keep hitting a series of layers each twisted slightly to the left (or twisted to the right). The light has to twist like a drill bit does, as it passes from front to back. A left twist or a right twist.
Some materials naturally corkscrew the arrangement of their atoms. It is random whether the second layer it will twist left or right compared to the first layer, but after that the material will keep twisting left or keep twisting right as it forms.
