  7. Re:Great, yet another format war on Google Decided To Nix Its Oculus Rift Competitor (recode.net) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You've got that backwards.
    Valve is making sure "Vive games" (SteamVR games) will work on the Rift.
    The community (primarily CrossVR) is making sure Rift games work on the Vive (via SteamVR).

    The end of man has to start somewhere.

  12. Debt to society on Inmates Program Logistics App For Prison · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they could outsource fixing Healthcare.gov to the prisons?

    And then they get invaded to protect their democracy and their freedom.

  14. Payload? on Aussie Company Planning To Use Drones For Textbook Delivery · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The text books I remember were all freaking heavy and don't "quadracopters" (six-bladed quadracopters in this case by the looks of it) generally have a very limited payload?

  15. Come on now. They don't want to put themselves under too much pressure.

    Like many in the developed world I carry a considerable surplus fuel stockpile on my abdomen which it would be nice (and perhaps healthy) to take advantage of.
    Maybe a combination if an in-body blood sugar energy harvesting rig and inductive charging coils on each hip? If your fuel stockpile is running low then make it a solar charging rig with a symbiotic algae/cyanobacteria in the skin to produce sugars from sunlight.

    Surely in this case "the Jerusalem for Christmas tree light recycling" would be more fitting?

  22. Re:That is like suing Ford on Spanish Court Rules In Favor of P2P Engineer · · Score: 5, Funny

    The name BitTorrent is obviously a thinly-veiled allusion to piracy.
    Pirate steal pieces of eight. *Bit*s come eight to a pack.
    Water forms *Torrent*s. The sea is made of water. Pirates sail the seven seas.
    And so: BitTorrent.
    That judge must be blind (or bought off by Big Piracy) not to see that BitTorrent exists solely for piratical purposes.
