D3 is a brilliant game, and Blizzard did a phenomenal job of a) releasing awesome new patches (especially 2.x) and b) getting my money. I bought it for PC when it first came out, then I bought the X360 version when that did, then RoS for PC, then UEE for X1 couple weeks ago... It's one franchise Blizzard has that will always get my money.
Where a group of FBI boffins are cheering, hooting and hollering about the find, and a group of NSA boffins, rolling their eyes and being coy, "Awe! Look at them, you'd think they just broke codes!".
Rear view in your helmet visor would be awesome. Fucking radar off the back of the bike with software that could warn of a wobbly driver approaching from behind--priceless.
Acoustic distance sensors with an Arduino module connected to some sort of radial LED warning system is something I wish I had the hardware talent to create. As riders, we don't need to know what kind of objects are behind us or on blindspots, just that they're there. In most cases a couple degrees of rotation of my wrist and I'm a 1/4mi from the target, but the knowledge that something is there is incredibly useful at 25mph or 150mph.
I completely agree, as the only time my expensive lids come off the shelf is when I'm on track and they require >DOT standards. There's no way I would daily a $1,400 helmet...
Until some sort of display interface that connects via BT or even cable to a specialized shield, HUD systems for riders will never take off. Think transparent curved displays like the ones LG just showed off recently. It's the perfect compliment to a helmet, and if the big manufacturers get onboard with some sort of "e-shield" standard, then we may have something to consider.
Because I'm an enthusiast when it comes to motorcycles and cars, I tend to keep a lot of action cameras hooked up when out at meets or when going to the track. I've been pulled over before and the police officer took the camera from my helmet and started flipping through the log. Knowing he wouldn't find anything incriminating because I had not been recording, I consented to the search...
Is this scenario protected under the precedent set by the Riley v. United States ruling?
I love how people want to knock on <insert media outlet here>, while the other side has nightmarishly hilarious content like...
"A small black hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it's not that. The Bermuda Triangle is often weather, and 'Lost' is a TV show." -Mary Schiavo
That took the cake for me... Someone needs to explain to that bitch what the fuck we spin around here in the Milky Way. To help them out, it sounds like "Supermassive asshole".
For a buncha people adamantly against Windows, there sure are a lot of people out here explaining how Microsoft should extend support for an obsolete product.
It's obsolete and dangerous to your business/personal life, like lead paint and asbestos. Please upgrade to something modern and stop moaning.
Thinking one group of people is subhuman, and not worthy of the same rights isn't "an opposing view", it's bigotry.
This isn't a quip at you, but I'm interested in your response; It's an honest question. Am I a bigot because I consider child molestors, rapists and nazis subhuman? These are groups of people. Some with mental health problems, others with aggressive theological views... All scourge of the earth in my eyes.
Contrary to movies, spy satellites do not watch every inch of the planet. Nor can you easily steer them into another orbit for live James Bond style feeds.
ZERO spy satellites point at the open ocean, nothing interesting going on out there.
Meet SBIRS - From the page "SBIRS, considered one of the nation’s highest priority space programs, is designed to provide global, persistent, infrared surveillance capabilities to meet 21st century demands..."
I would find it illogical for the United States to only be monitoring continental lands, it would be akin to taking a picture and cropping out everything but the subject.
My bet is no government wants to out their level of sophistication in the surveillance world... It's a massive tactical advantage.
Apart from the parts which were not designed in the US, sure... Your definition of "American" seems to be based on feeling, not some sort of solid definition...
I'll walk you through my thought process...
Per Wikipedia: "It is being designed and built by an aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin." Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Lockheed Martin is an American company. Therefore it must be American.
I'll use another industry as an example. If Samsung produces 75% of the technology inside a television, and then sources the plastics from say China, it's still a South Korean product, not a South Korean & Chinese product. Or a car manufacturer, say Lotus, that sources an engine from Toyota, don't start saying their vehicle is British & Japanese. It's just British.
I'm not saying that the JSF project is only American, but in design and manufacturing and the majority of the funding was in fact, American.
How is what I'm saying based on feeling? It seems to me, you're trying to argue a point you can't substantiate either...
Just because a part or funding is sourced from another country, doesn't make it from that country. It's American in design and manufacturing, with parts and funding sourced from partners from around the world.
I'd mod you up but ran out of points yesterday. I second everything you say in here. It just seems like the Square Enix merger was the beginning of the end for the Final Fantasy franchise. Like they decided that had so much incredible JRPG assets to pull from that they just couldn't fail... That mixed with the MMO revolution, and their mainstay brand completely lost its identify...
... because then I wouldn't have to worry about you plowing into me during rush hour as you inexplicably look down and raise one arm from your handlebars to poke at your fucking wrist with it.
F*ck no... Why would I want to live there? See my above comment about mileage and accidents in my life. You, however are probably one of the hypocritical pricks that check their phone while they're stationary at a red light... Meanwhile I'm waiting for your ass to leave the line because you haven't noticed the change.
... ah yes, but can you see the road, riding with it??:P
He's on a murdercycle making it a self correcting problem. If he's too busy paying attention to his phone to watch the road, someone will be getting a new heart, lung and kidney kidney in short order.
I'm ten times the motorist you are sir. Zero accidents @ 57k miles driven on a motorcycle, one accident in a cage when I was 17 which was 16 years ago. Do you chastise all motorists that check their watch while they drive? Or just the ones that prove a good point...

His wife is Chinese.
I'm sorry you had such problems.

...when's Diablo 4 meant to arrive?!

On the bright side, with the two parties working at cross purposes we're ending up with the worst parts of both systems.
Exactly this, sorry no mod points.

Unfortunately, this... :(

Those little clip-to-mag adapters ...
I lol'ed... Thank you, sir!
At the time there were limited arms (you took about 2 minutes to reload) vs able to empty a couple clips in that same amount of time, now.
Who the f*ck modded this up? If you can't describe part of the firearm correctly, don't post... you just look like a twit.

I know plenty of people who get along just fine outside of anyplace with public transportation and no car of their own.
Its not hard, but go ahead and make excuses to avoid the problem.
Me too!
They're called deployed service-men/women.
Part of me wonders if: (num_of_display_related_injuries/yr) > (num_of_injuries_related_to_not_having_a_backup_cam/yr)
Because if the above statement is true, here's another instance of our Gov't doing what it does best!
Now where the hell did I put my beer?
God I love GSC. Current faves are that and Cherry Pie.
The "ding" when a legendary/set item drops is crack cocaine to my little brain.
