Be happy while the US imposes military dominance in arab countries, because soon that same immense army will start looking for richer countries to spoil.

AI is made to invent magic tricks. AI starts creating more and more complex magic tricks. Magician stops understanding the tricks but keeps following the given steps and is as surprised as the audience about the result. After a while, the AI starts giving really strange steps and it becomes clear that there is no explanation in current science that justifies the results of the tricks. Humanity has meddled with incomprehensible forces, awakening He who was never dead.
1 - Label to specify what games contain sexy women. 2 - Sell labelled games more, because sex sells (news at 11). 3 - More and more games introduce sexist content just to get the label. 4 -... Slow clap?
Ironically, a lead researcher made a discovery on magnetism.
(Thank you. I will be here all week. Tip your waitress.) (Yes, I did use the thousandfold cursed "Morissette irony" on purpose, to elicit rage, hair pulling and lamentations.)
If I get what you mean it's something like, for example, put 8 360 cameras in a cube with a vertex length equal to distance between eyes (although 4 cameras in a tetrahedron pattern should work). This way, you always have a 3D view on all directions, by choosing the right pair of cameras.
The problem is that, to avoid viewing the other cameras the system would have to switch points of view for each eye as the person looks right and left, for example.
I still hold a grudge over the physics teacher who, after teaching about conservation of momentum, couldn't answer the question "what happens if you flick the extreme of a pencil, in space".
From that day on, I started questioning everything every teacher told me.
You do know a lot of the software in the airplanes you fly in is tested via an automated approach where the only observation of 10k tests is 1 pass/fail?
Sadly I saw that comment too late for anyone to notice. I'd have enjoyed saying for once "I know. I actually was in the team that made the system for a branch of Airbus!:D"
Now no one will ever know about that cool moment.:/
But last week I had my first submission ever to be accepted on Slashdot so... Karma!
In the case of Comcast, Netflix traffic gets no special priority once it's on the internal network. The direct links simply lets them bypass the naturally occurring bottlenecks that occur at internet peering points.
In case you are truly sincere and just not intelligent enough to find the flaw in that reasoning, let me help you.
It's at "Naturally occurring". Analyse that part of the equation.
Of course they will, because corporations have infinite memory and infinite patience.
However, corporations just have a winning strategy for the present game. But this game can never be completely won until humanity extinguishes. Nobody wins forever.
It's time for a messiah of the fight of the productive force against the non-human corporations.
Not one who explains why it is a problem and how much worse it will get. We've had several of those in the last century. We now need one who actually finds a solution and has the charisma to put it in practice.
And I say charisma because, fortunately, power is still based on human beings. Thus, change will only come from someone who finds the solution and manages to convince enough people to apply it.
I wonder how much money do corporations spend in finding those guides to the next system and silencing them.
I suspect they spend nothing, because such person does not exist. Because enough people is too much people, and "too much people" is a very stupid beast.
Slashdot Mirror
I see what you did there. Don't do that. This is Slashdot, not "10 reasons" and "you won't believe what happened next".
What reasons?
OMG! What happened next!?
The only sensible solution if you want to play games decently is to become a renown pc graphics card reviewer to get them before they come out.
If you're not willing to do that little effort, you might as well just play solitaire. With an actual deck of real cards.

Not even $10, imagine if Facebook gave people a new wanted feature (I have no examples because I don't use FB) for their votes.
How many users would accept? What portion of the population would sell their vote for an iphone?
It's a quad-core Atom,
Like Helium-4?
Humans have been manipulating the evolution of other lifeforms for hundreds of thousands of years or more already.
Humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years a lot of things that in modern society are frowned upon. Like, for example, eating people.
Maybe that's what happened to Osama.
WTF?! Change bank now!
Refusing payments is one of the most basic interactions you have to be able to do with your bank.
You have money, they are a bank. It's you two against "the evil criminal merchant subclass".
If I didn't have absolute confidence in that my bank will always be on my side when we're talking about my money, I'd never buy anything online.
Wow! What a bad pun!
I'm stunned.
Asked and answered (although I'd need hours to find the tweet with the answer by the ESA to this exact question)
The answer was:
"No, because solar panels are done to absorb light, not reflect it."
I'd pay to have the opportunity to grade my resistance to shocks in controlled conditions.
It would be a straightforward way to train willpower.
Infotainment designed to incite does not nor should enter my world, it makes my world more stressful and wastes my time.
Proof that the terrorist have won.

installing Windows 2000 Server. I was a Novell certified engineer and could do it in my sleep.
You woke up and discovered you had installed Windows 2000?
Quite the scary illness you've got there. I'd rather find my horse's cut head.

"shot in 360 degrees and in 3D"
Intuitively, this is impossible. Let's RTFA... Nope, I can't find that claim.
Ok, time to use the "Ask the Audience" lifeline: How does one shoot 3D in 360 without it needing an infinite amount of film?
I still hold a grudge over the physics teacher who, after teaching about conservation of momentum, couldn't answer the question "what happens if you flick the extreme of a pencil, in space".

Now that I think on it, over two decades later...
... Maybe that teacher did me a favor, after all.

We agree — and that is our practice.
If a tester runs a test and no one is around to see it, does the test return a result?
