The effects of CO2 on such a large and complex system as the SHOULD NOT be instinctively comprehended. There is no instinct for that, so pandering to peoples instincts is disingenuous at best.
Oh OK, I see now... all our climate studies and predictions of global warming are based on copies of copies of adjusted copies of copies of data, the originals of which were lost 25+ years ago. Sounds like perfectly good science to me. How could anyone doubt that?
So you're suggesting it's not currently possible to insert a tesla coil into your anus? You should have picked a form of 'magic' we haven't already figured out.
Did you try shutter at 120hz? There's still something 'off' about them and a bit of ghosting in high contrast scenes, but there's no noticeable flicker.
The wireless base is basically a flickering infrared LED. Not sure how it gets synced to the monitor, but it syncs to the glasses by flooding your room with the 120hz signal. There's not much processing to do when comparing 'craptons of infrared light' to 'not much infrared light' so it stays in sync nicely.
Ummm what? When I bought my new monitor, I made sure it was 120hz. It's definitely HD, and wasn't to expensive as far as monitors go. Then I spent $100 on shutterglasses. I am not rich. If I had a blu-ray player, I'd be able to use this technology right now (2x drives are out already, right?).
"I suppose you think aimbots make a game better too because i means you can instantly snap on to a target? Or is the fac they're not part of the game by default somehow different?"
Hate to break it to you, but this is exactly what most consoles do, precisely because their controllers are so gimp for FPS'. Manual accuracy is not a 'stupid little quirk'.
"I think that the human brain may be closer to the limits of having to make those difficult inherent trade offs between accuracy and computation time than we might hope."
I'm glad you THINK, now try looking up some facts before assuming that the people who've spent their lives looking into these things weren't able to address your points:
So do many consoles. Thanks for bringing up a worthless point.
"Huh? PS3s and 360s can multitask."
Apparently you're using multitask in a different way. Yes, it can do more than one thing. Sometimes it can even do more than one thing at the same time. But it cannot come close to doing what I am now, which is watching the daily show, talking on IRC, posting to/., and idling in WoW -- at the same time. That's what I meant by multitasking.
"In what way? One can use a mouse and keyboard with both the 360 [totalconsole.com] and a PS3 [totalconsole.com]. What other inputs would one need?"
You're aware that most games will disallow those controls, right?
"Which is lame and gimmicky."
Sorry, I'm going to go ahead and trust my personal experience over your 'IS NOT'.
"How many people actually play games with multiple monitors? You'll probably find this a non-selling point for almost anyone."
Again, you've totally missed the point. I'm not talking about multi-monitor games. I'm talking about being able to grind levels on one screen and watch movies or browse strats on the other.

It's not subjective. It's the laws of fucking physics. When playing l4d2 on the PC, I can see behind me and in front of me AT THE SAME TIME. That's right. In between shotgun blasts, before it's even possible to fire again, I'm able to fully rotate my character 180 degrees, see what's there (and melee if necessary), and then whip back around to shoot the next zombie. This is IMPOSSIBLE on a console. If you crank sensitivity high enough so that a quick tip of the stick makes you do an about face, then in order to make a headshot at 10 meters you'll have to move the stick less than 1% from center. Using a console controller is like keyboard-turning in WoW. Most high-end players actually unbind their turn keys. Having a maximum turn rate MAKES YOU WORSE. I don't see what's so hard to understand about this.
So now you've paid for a PC, which you still use for PC things, AND a console, which you can only use for movies/games. You do know that you can plug a PC in to your TV right? the one in your living room?
Meaning we're in the same situation, only PCs have much better graphics. And multitasking. And better input. And full stereoscopic 3d. And multiple monitors. Et cetera.

The missing word was 'climate'.

Yeah, and we still have those goddamn 'wheels' too. No progress at all there. 'Science' my ass.
NO YOU
Well you should probably rethink your opinion. After all, the man is a DOCTOR!
So you're suggesting it's not currently possible to insert a tesla coil into your anus? You should have picked a form of 'magic' we haven't already figured out.
Probably more than one, but yes, the big one in front hiding them all is a galaxy. :)
I don't know what article you're reading but this one has nothing to do with the red/blue glasses.

Fucking kids these days.

How many music streaming services as big as Imeem have died? Are you still able to access streaming music?
How many hard drives full of music have crashed and burned? Are they still able to access their files?
Using this freakish edge case doesn't prove your point either way.
Now go ahead and call me a dumbass and repeat the exact point you've already stated twice. We're waiting.

So do many consoles. Thanks for bringing up a worthless point.

Hell, it would seem that they even had a global communications network before we did.
It read just fine to me. Try reading more books and less twitter.
