These reports of a new "Gameboy DS" (it's just the Nintendo DS) are still, as of right now, speculation. Admittedly, the Nintendo Media Summit is just around the corner, so the rumors are believable but there's hardly a guaranteed new device coming out.
And shit I posted too quickly. I basically see two images overlaid, one not quite on top of the other (so two Doc Oc's at the Spiderman ride in Orlando). And I have no idea why it's worse, but it is.
I'm not colorblind, and I've tried both colored and polarized glasses (colored ones tend to work better, though not perfectly). We haven't done a whole lot of research, nor have we conclusively identified the disorder, but it's likely to be Stickler's syndrome. In addition, in my father's case, he can't see 3D at all, and has been confirmed in numerous tests (he sees a single 2D image instead, and has learned to compensate).
I truly wish I could give more info, but that's all I know. Someday I'd like to get a definitive test, but that won't happen for a while if at all. Suffice to say that I'm not a big fan of 3D effects, even though it sounds really neat.
Admittedly, I don't entirely understand how this technology is supposed to work, but if it's anything like the polarized or red/green 3D glasses of yesteryear, I hate it. Thanks to a genetic disorder, the males in my family are incapable of using them (I see two flat images instead of one 3D one). If games require these to play, I'll lose my favorite hobby.
While true, the only unfinished book that Douglas left around was The Salmon of Doubt - a Dirk Gently book. Admittedly there were some theories that it could become a HHGG book, but reading the manuscript as is (pick up The Salmon of Doubt if you haven't already for the last bit of Douglas greatness) it's just not possible to see where the plot is going.
Sometimes, a series needs to have a conclusion. The Wheel of Time will be completed by other people (based on highly detailed notes), otherwise the first 11,000 pages will end in a cliffhanger. Hitchhiker's does not need a new author. No one else can match Douglas' wit or really know how to end the story.

This is an old one. Don't feed the trolls.

Digg: It's like Slashdot if concussed monkeys took over.
So it's like Slashdot?
That's possible, only I've never been able to determine which eye is dominant. And that doesn't explain my father's constant 2D view.

It's not sex-linked either, sorry I made that unclear. Just all the guys have it and none of the women do.
