Ellison and Oracle were heavily involved in Iron Man 2. I mean was Justin Hammer basically just Larry as a weapons dealer? All he had to do was tack on 'the press is about to run out of ink' line and his ascendance to James Bond villain would be complete.
Ad-Hoc networking has been blackballed by pretty much every industry player. The only ad-hocs we get now are bastardized versions like Apple AirDrop, fully locked down.. It requires logging in from both parties and a check in by both parties to the Apple servers.
NO no no, you got it all wrong. The processor is so fast, it now produces a Time Dilation effect. Using the inverse-square law, your meetings will now appear to you to last 16 times as long.
Ah the old, 'other solutions are hard' defense. My browser plays.mp4 just fine... You are basically arguing the same thing people said when we only had 3 TV networks. 'Why would i want to advertise on this new upstart Fox?, the big networks are so convenient.'
The people who make a living off of Youtube want to perpetuate the idea that Youtube is the only feasible way to disseminate video speech on the Internet. They want to keep the illusion that this is a 1st Amendment issue when really its a Free Speech issue between private entities. None of them talk about rolling their own video service. They expect everything to be provided and get upset when Google tugs on the reins the creators willingly put on.
"Software should be continuously updated, no matter what, else it doesn't deserve to live any more. This is a step in that direction, Apple is doing the right thing here."
I believe in the exact opposite. Software should be built like a hammer. If i drop a hammer on the ground, any other human can come along and use it, no matter how much time has passed. A thousand year old hammer is still useful today. Sure a drop-forged, mass produced tool MIGHT be better, but not necessarily so.
Looking at the explosion, a computer controlled 'Tower Jet' might have saved a man-rated capsule and got it out of the area. Although, the shockwave from the first explosion probably would have turned them into human jelly.
We have been screaming for a long time that its time to end copyright as currently implemented. Its not bitching to point out we have arrived at an absurd place that someone can make millions on images of a cat. This crap has no place in an Information Age. Copyright is supposed to further the arts, not necessarily enrich 'owners'. The notion that a person can own an idea needs to stop, NOW. Its absurd.
I see it as an absurdity. We are DEEP into an Information Age, we should be rolling copyright back, not giving low effort stuff like Grumpy Cat protection. The world gains nothing from allowing these people to sue over something so incredibly trivial and banal.
You forgot checksumming and verification after transfer.....You have something on the other drive after the transfer, you wont know what until you verify it.
I havent had an optical drive internally installed for at least 7 years. I hahavent OWNED an optical drive for at least 3. Optical sucks. I will occasionally burn my photos to optical just to have them on a different format than flash/HDD.
You mean like every other company out there now? DCS, Blizzard, EA, GoG, Steam, Microsoft, Autodesk, Adobe.....These are just the clients i personally have installed.
Or, less cynically, a marketplace of ideas. You guys sound like Alchemists, hiding your secrets from prying eyes. Ideas are easy, its the working implementation that scales to billions of users that is the challenge. The only people who worry about having their ideas stolen are people that have only had one good idea.
Adding a PoE module significantly raises the cost. The Raspberry Pi PoE hat is $42 USD. I know its not cheap for Arduino either. What makes it so these boards need such expensive power converters?
Yes. They are working on things like Inside-out tracking, one of the holy grails of VR/AR. Microsoft's Project Scorpio will almost for sure run the Oculus CV1 and probably CV2. Oculus has lots of fingers into lots of pies right now and an absolutely massive war chest to buy anything they want.
AMD components run hotter for the same performance. My Intel/Nvidia machine is already a 400 watt space heater at full load. With AMD at equivalent performance it would be closer to 500 watts or more.

SO far the Surface line hasnt quite caught up to Wacom's fidelity with pens.

This wasnt a 'test fire', it was a full launch dress rehearsal.

You would think he would know the distinction. You can safely ignore anything he says on this subject.
Guantanamo Bay is a nice little 'fuck you' to your theory. In practice, the Constitution is selective in its protection of foreigners.

"Videogames are not meant to be useful. At all."
This is as ignorant as the statement you replied to.
i wouldn't call a max resolution of 720p as 'it works great'. Its ok, but a vastly inferior experience to running it natively.

I know this is hard for you to understand but the internet is NOT ubiquitous everywhere. Local > Remote, always.

"Oh, and I forgot. I'm not sure why you think Project Scorpio will run with the Oculus."
Just a gut feeling after looking at the landscape. I wouldnt take a bet on it though.(well maybe with some really good odds)

Every time i look at a gaming laptop all i think of is 'How is this going to dissipate all that heat?'
AMD components run hotter for the same performance. My Intel/Nvidia machine is already a 400 watt space heater at full load. With AMD at equivalent performance it would be closer to 500 watts or more.
