Nobody tries to pick which of Barry Bonds' home runs was the result of steroid use. Everyone seems to understand implicitly how juicing just raised his overall chances, but they seem to think each weather event either is or isn't caused by climate change.
It's really not uncommon (outside of grocery stores). Almost every fast food restaurant does this, for example. And banks. Just think of anywhere where the people behind the counter announce, ÃoeI can help the next person.Ã
Survey studies have little to no influence on my understanding of human behavior. Who actually believes that people know what influences their purchases? At least get some real-world observation.
Again, you could say that about movies or existing video games, any time you get “sucked in.” Until a double-blind test demonstrates indistinguishability, I'm taking any statements about your brain's acceptance of reality as marketing hype.
As far as your brain is concerned, there's no difference between experiencing something on the Rift and experiencing it in the real world.
Total bullshit.
"This is the first time that we've succeeded in stimulating parts of the human visual system directly,"
Total bullshit.
You could have said exactly the same things about the upgrade from movies to 3D movies, or from pictures to movies, and they would be just exactly as true as they are here.
Stanford Research Institute had a fax machine precursor in the 50s or 60s and shopped it to the USPS to transmit less-sensitive mail. They got about the same response.
Most of your suggestions are clearer, or better style, but only “pete” is an actual error.
If you want to get that picky, you could use actual quotation marks, instead of straight quotes.
Oh, is it not referring to the city of Boulder, CO? As a non-Coloradan, I had no idea there was a Boulder County. Now I'm really confused. Is “Co.” a common abbrev. for “County?”
In the case of cars, it was largely supply and logistics. Car fuel cells were supposed to be hydrogen-powered (not butane, like these) and there is very little infrastructure for generating and transporting large amounts of hydrogen. Storing it on board the car is also a tricky issue.
Just get Windows 8 and a Start Menu replacement. (There are a dozen out there.) Congrats, now you have Windows 7.
If there's something you dislike other than the start page, click on the “Small Business” section of Dell (or probably any other big builder). I just bought a W7 computer there last week.
In the pre-TV days, it did actually have a lot to do with the preponderance of statistics.
Imagine a whole town coming out to “watch” a big game happening in another city. They all look at a scoreboard for three hours, while one guy gets updates by phone or telegraph and updates the board for all to see. To those fans, baseball often was statistics.
Then what do they do between games? No SportsCenter to watch, so you crunch stats and compare with your buddies. Imagine kids checking the papers every day and tabulating all their favorite players' hits, strikes, etc. to calculate the percentages themselves, then debating on the playground who was better.
So, stats are a large part of what built baseball fandom.

20 years ago was 1994. I used the internet in 1994.
According to what? Your pseudorandom hyperbole generator?

Poor Tor, it's not their fault people did nasty stuff with their service.
But yesterday, when spammers happened to use NO-IP's free service, that made NO-IP âoeshady.â
Yeah, but not when they build a good road and somebody uses it to traffic drugs.

The irony is that this is the only comment that's relevant to the article, and it's at -1.
There's a “Slashdot Classic” link in the footer.

Can anybody find the one thing we care to see on that barftacular site?
On-off switches? What exactly is the function of an “off” switch on a nuclear bomb?

What do they do? Sounds like maybe an ironic name for a cloud storage company....
Ohhhhhhh. “Boulder, CO” — not “Boulder Co.” Never mind.
My mom didn't allow gun toys. So I built Lego guns and even once bit off the corner of my sandwich, pointed it at something, and said bang.

The fuel cells that were recently all the rage for cars were hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen has even worse supply and storage problems than butane.

Is it the segment with the fewest low-order nodes, so that impact there can set up only high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration?
