I have a vive. I play Elite in it. I'm willing to suffer the loss of resolution from a monitor for the immersive experience. Also, beat sabre is cool. They are expensive things to get and have a narrow use case, but hopefully the options will be wider and cheaper in the future and it will be similar to a joystick for gaming. Not essential, but a good purchase if you're into it.
..... but, somewhere deep down in the dark, alone in a corner crying, is the part of me that might just, maybe, reach out a hand to Star Trek again if Sir Pat Stew is the show lead as Capt (Admiral?) Picard.
I hope.
I completely agree, and even that had it's problems. But, you can't make an omelette and all that, so with a few duds maybe the learning process will produce some good movies?
Is he a favourite because he had so few scenes, and fans 'filled in the blanks' to make him feel cooler than he is? Is he a character where 'less is more' should be the core idea?
He did seem to be well in with Darth Vader. (why the hell was a galaxy spanning empire hiring bounty hunters?) Maybe we can see more of Vader connected to Fett. Everyone loved the Vader part at the end of rogue one. Maybe we can see Vader at his height for a more extended view? Or maybe a Vader story should be left for that - SW has a long way to go.
Other bounty hunters would be a good place to start, rolling in the ones we saw. I want to see how a droid got to be one.
I wonder if we can see Empire from Fett's perspective. Get digital Lando and Han and Luke and Leia involved to see cloud city from Fett's eyes? I think that would work well, especially if we get to see the more about Jabba and Fett.
I wonder if we can get Fett as a more rounded character - maybe he owes Jabba, and 'A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. Nothing personal, Han.'
I don't mind a Fett movie. I'll mind if it's done badly.
Can't we hop through the solar system, using the magnetic fields of various bodies to speed up, and then do the reverse at a target star? Cruising in interplanetary space might be fine.
Ransomware has been around for ages now. Surely someone can come up with an OS defense rather than tit for tat patches and upgrades. File versioning going back in history that you can't edit, only recover from? Every file modification makes a new file. Sure, disk space gets eaten up very fast but with large Tb drives that should surely give companies some breathing room, and home users too. Why isn't this an easy option to switch on in windows?
Truecrypt (before it went dead) has a plausible deniability option where you had two passwords. One would open your files, the other would open a different, dummy filesystem. As long as you used it recently (to show it was the real one, not a dormant clever ruse) no one could tell it wasn't decrypting the real system. Where are all the plausible deniability options in encrpytion tools these days?
Pathetic? Like the projected 4% inflation for next year, the collapse of sterling and the obvious hard brexit we're going to be handed from the EU? I didn't lose. We all did, even the morons who voted for brexit.
As one who voted to remain, among 16 million others, can we also have a bit of sympathy for having to be dragged along with the pillocks who voted for the exit?
I have learnt python this September to teach it to 16 year olds. It is extremely easy to pick up as a language and some of the libraries are very useful and efficient. Loading a text file in one line kind of thing seems easy to learn for kids. I'm disappointed by the lack of an easy GUI, tkinter just seems awful after the simplicity of initial python for kids. I'd much prefer a more visual studio type approach to python, with an easy to drag and drop set of GUI elements, but then again, I teach python in a strange environment where the tasks are prescribed and the kids don't really have proper access to their machines.
Is america employing proper idiot level thickos to the eductation system or what? I get the impression that teachers are supposed to be rational, educated people. If a kid brought in a clock I'd assume it wouldn't cause a bomb scare. I'd give the kid a pat on the back and an arduino to mess with.
In the UK, we're about to give every 11 year old a 'computer'. Basically it's a bit like an arduino with 25 red LED's on it in a 5x5 matrix. EVERY child in the country will be given one for free. I'm looking forward to what they come up with, but a bomb scare won't be on that list of expectations.
What are teachers on in the US? It boggles the mind.

Yeah, in 20 years. 128TB will be the maximum addressable memory in the spec. By then, the world will be run by a single raspberry PI running MultiVac.

Anakin built C3PO. Sheesh.
EU should be ignored. There's too much to conflict with new ideas. Star Wars is a series of movies.

1. That's not a dealbreaker 2. All the better
Can't these pieces of hardware be disabled within the phone before handing it over to do just twitter?

If it has mass, how can it travel at c?

Inconceivable!
Yeah, someone who can act will be able to make it look like she can act....
What does God need with an advertising campaign?
That's Professor Dawkins to you.
It's more a middle finger to the government and their (punishable by law to refuse) need for data on the population.
Your position doesn't really work as an argument nor as banter, and I wholeheartedly side with your friend.

Not at this school, obviously, but still.

What a load of childish rubbish. I'm not american so don't know, how old are these pillocks that do this?
What if the rift was mounted on an arm that you couldn't move so fast, limiting the movement and hence the lag?
