    It is to a millimetre accuracy, it's just that that is also the full motion range of the controller.

    Because your PC has far more processing power. Seriously though, If you want to stay in the stone age and use a mouse for the rest of your life, don't hold the rest of us back.

    Off topic.

    The thing is that technically you're supposed to be electing individual people to Canadian government, not parties. If we were doing it the way you suggest, then some ridings would end up represented by a candidate that 90% of the people in that riding did not vote for.

    And being mocked by fat guys who sit in their parent's basements and don't even talk about doing anything because even the idea scares them too much.

    You should encourage these people, that way when the time comes they'll be confident enough to stand in front of tanks so you don't have to.

    Yes, there are physical possibilities for how the truck could have suddenly appeared in front of this other vehicle. However, none of them are nearly as likely as someone complaining about a perfectly valid ticket.

    Pretty darn close to exactly as fast or faster than, unless the truck passed just a moment earlier. Going any slower than the truck would rapidly widen the distance between the two vehicles.

    How unreliable though? Plus or minus five miles an hour isn't going to change much if you were caught doing forty over the limit.

    If you've got a job that pays that little, it might be more financially efficient to simply ride a bicycle.

    The truck right in front of you? To be directly behind this truck you would have to be going about the same velocity, wouldn't you?

  14. Re:Glad someone is challenging this on Speed Tickets Challenged Based On Timestamped Photos · · Score: 1

    And yet there are very few drivers that I would trust to set their own speed limit. People tend to massively overestimate the velocity at which they can control a vehicle in an emergency.

    Though you do need to spend at least some of the funds on marketing, it's just that nobody knows where the actual balance is. Mostly because marketers are highly skilled at selling people on the importance of marketing.

    I believe you just spectacularly failed a detect sarcasm check, apk. I admire your attempts to be a one man army though.

    And I'm afraid you've been deceived at some point in your life. Even if what I did was genuine trolling, and everybody in the whole world knew that I did it, it doesn't change the fact that nobody freaking cares

    . Go ahead. Sue me. Haul me before the courts and declare that I'm a troll. Yell it from rooftops, and get it on the 6 o'clock news. It will raise all the public interest of "Dog Bites Man". It's a fact of life: nobody has pity on a guy who intentionally talks with people whom he believes to be trolls.

    Until my next genuinely new post then. I'll be seeing you there. Oh, and hey look, nobody who you don't personally know has modded either of us for any of this yet. This must mean the universe itself it tuned in to see the drama of our struggle.

    No, I'm not crying, yet. But yes, I might be an entirely unreasonable sociopathic pathological liar who doesn't care if he contradicts himself at all, but that might be hard to prove from Slashdot posts. And if you're touchy enough you might consider the first post in this thread to be trolling, but since I didn't get modded on it, apparently nobody else did. When you get an account and some mod points you can come back and rate it down if it is that important to you.

    Okay, let's go with fish... two eyes. Birds... still two. Insects? Reptiles? Spiders? What only has one eye?

    True, some of them don't use them for stereo vision, but so far as natural selection is concerned, two or more eyes seems to be the winner if you're going to have eyes at all.

    So I'm curious. How do humans calibrate their depth perception?

  24. Re:Um...err... NO!!!! on Predator Outdoes Kinect At Object Recognition · · Score: 2

    Because quantum physics and neuropsychology make you an expert on object tracking AI and any other field? What if specializing has made you blind to things outside of your field of expertise? You might be making a valid point somehow, but your reeking aura of arrogance makes you a nuisance rather than a good leader.

    He wrote plays though, which you could theoretically get away with a couple copies for an entire troupe. A copyright violator would only need to steal or create one copy to be able to replicate Shakespeare's act, which did happen more than once. Shakespeare himself complained about it, but that didn't stop him from writing more.

    Also worth noting, the printing press was already in England by the time Shakespeare rolled around.
