Since we moved our couch up close to the TV, it's really only the fact that I don't have proper curtains yet that make us even want to go to the theater. Our theater's screens are too small for 4K to be enough difference, truthfully, and it's over an hour's drive for the "Mega Screen" (50' x 70') that guarantees that your field of view is covered pretty well and that you can even turn your head a bit and still see only screen.
Once I get proper light-blocking, I won't really want to go to the theater very often.
I'm sitting right around what I'd consider the Nyquist distance from my 42" TV now. The screen is about 2-3 feet in front of a couch (cheaper than buying a bigger screen and this isn't our living room). If I wanted a bigger screen, I'd prefer a little more - especially considering the resolution loss of passive 3D (which I prefer).
Don't gauge it by not being able to see lines between each pixel (they're a hair's width compared to the width of a pixel), and don't gauge it by not seeing obvious stair-stepping (most digital graphics content is anti-aliased anyway).
Yes. Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers gave up on passive 3D too soon. I already have several dirt cheap passive glasses (from the theater), but I'm waiting on the right 4K TV with passive 3D. It might be a couple years yet, if it happens at all. Active just doesn't seem to block enough light compared to the polarizing filters of passive 3D and I don't like it.
I'm only saying that there's a potential use case and content for 8K already in existence (4K for each eye), even if it isn't native 8K video.
Because 4K is a film term. Digital movie projection was always measured in vertical resolution. And for that matter, it was used in the analog TV days. Back in the CRT days, you would see the marketing say that a particular TV or camera has "500 lines of resolution"
You could get that with a higher bitrate, too. Chances are that their 4K scaled down to 1080p would be very close in visual quality to your average Blu-Ray encode.
And the overwhelming majority of household consumers will yawn, scratch their asses, and wonder what the hell is in it for them.....This will be mostly a non-existent technology for most people.
Honestly, I think that's fine. But there's been a bit of a screen size war and consumers do actually want bigger screens. And it's true,about half wouldn't even realize they were only getting 480p from the RCA cables on their cable box. The downside to larger screens is that 1080p isn't much when you are close to the screen and most movies (and some Netflix series) are already shot in 4K. Might as well make it available to the early adopters that want it. For everyone else, it's just something to consider when you pick the size of your next TV. And producing 8K large panels is the same process as shrinking 4K panel sizes for monitors (albeit more expensive, since it's 4-times the size of error-free pixels).
The only use case for 8K in the absence of 8K content is passive 4K 3D at full resolution.
Windows scales fairly well (especially Vista and up). Legacy programs that don't rely on pixels for element positioning do fine even in the compatibility high DPI mode. Programs that ignored resolution-independent guidelines that Microsoft had been providing for years, don't work well.
Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, auditory hallucinations, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and lack of motivation.
Or to put it another way, the Signal-to-noise ratio in your brain's input is very low, therefore everything is interpreted as signal.
the baker didnt deny the gay couple any free speech rights.
That's backwards. The argument is on the baker's free speech in creating the artwork (a form of speech/expression) or not creating it. There's a difference between baking something (utilitarian) and designing something.
No networking, but he seems to be fine with using VMWare, so he might be accessing the results of the input via hardware shared with Windows. Or who knows, maybe he has some air-gapped 16-color screen flashing data transfer protocol.
Couldn't they achieve the same thing by installing the add-on by default and letting you remove it? They went to all that effort to create an add-on framework.
1.4x is multiplication by juxtaposition in algebraic terms. However, you're quoting 1.4x faster and not 1.4x the speed (which is what was probably intended). And that would be 1x + 1.4x. Am I the only one seeing the language confusion for what it is?

Hey, they can even spin up all the drives. That doesn't mean you can't draw the UI and make most of it responsive in the meantime. OS X freezes almost the entire OS when a drive is spinning up.
One company had some very clever ideas, but were chronically incapable of making reliable hardware, or of making software that worked. They had no internal procedures to track what they were making, what it was supposed to do, or how they knew it worked. Too many releases were "we have to ship something to keep from losing what little credibility we still have".
Let me guess....1 out of every 2 Kickstarter projects in existence?
You do know that only matching inflation means not earning a dime, right? The "return" is only numbers. The value of the repaid dollars is exactly the same as the original loan amount, even if there are more dollars. I find it unlikely that you're going to see a mortgage apr that earns the bank less than inflation. They would be losing money.
Direct Loans means the government is the one extending the credit, but they don't service their own loans, generally. And if there's nothing in it for the banks, no bank is going to actually do so.
And what bank is going to step in and service such a loan? Inflation + 0.1% might be lucrative, but inflation + 0% means a lot of work for no pay to any of the staff involved.

There's that reason, and also that the dot pitch of a DLP DCP is practically zero due to overlap. That makes a much smoother image.
Also, most theaters have moved on to 4K.

Both take in way more money than they need, is the point.

NFC was cool when only Android had it. And in my opinion, only Android still does. Apple is crippling all the other useful features that NFC enables.
