I think you're behind the times a bit with lack of perspective.
Maybe the students cared more about software rather than cars and car hardware? Maybe these days people find things other than cars to be interested about? Maybe the french couple, being in Europe, rarely has to drive? If they weren't able/prepared to google the info, that's their lack of planning of course. The "curiosity" can be funneled in other things you know. It's not just cars or self-grooming/looks.
Sure, it was a surprise to Steve. Not because now the whole "we care about your data" is gathering momentum, and companies left and right jump on it, pretending to be nice, to get publicity brownie points. What's next, google execs deactivating facebook accounts and claiming to care about our data/privacy?. Mind you, the faster FB falls, the better.
It may be naive, but do you think "we should spearhead research, even if it's prone to corruption" is a better idea? They both suck, really, and the latter is morally dubious ("I can shoot first") or equally naive ("It's going to be used for good/defense only against Evil") . And being part of the research-spearheading country, makes one reap both pros and cons of the tech.
There's no cure for stupidity. Can't fix this without crippling legitimate users, unless the equivalent of speed cams are introduced, that identify correctly cretins that hold phones while driving. Because I don't think eye-tracking will be in cars anytime soon to identify prolonged lack of attention on the road.
That's a great (?) way to waste time. Personally I have better things to do with my life than playing hide and seek. Or running to the wilderness for guaranteed privacy. And by better things I don't mean Facebook of course.
I drink loads of water and coffee: does wonders for the amount of walking to and from the bathroom. Eating expired or gasy food would possibly be even better - running like hell to avoid disaster - but I haven't been that brave.
So you can't tell the difference between movie and home video? Source for you, in a any case: http://www.100fps.com/how_many...
Whatever floats your boat: I can personally see difference of 60fps to less, and I quite like 60fps.
No, 500 draw calls per frame is not *that* much. The majority of the calls are for different materials: For your toy project, that won't be a lot. For an AAA title, it's more like hundreds of material combos.
You can always incapacitate rather than destroy/kill. A rocket is not selective. But I guess tech for incapacitating people is reserved only for civil unrest/disorder. Those bloody foreigners? Yeah, oops sorry, our rocket missed.
Uhm yes, and when your enemy is not as technologically advanced, you can blast them in the old fashioned way. Even if they are, it's not like they're gonna have a huge arrow pointing at the command center or whatever. Of course in such cases, you can always do pre-emptive strikes. What do you think? It's gonna be a team deathmatch, and the losers move away from the computers? Dream on.
Let's increase the mental distance between killing people.
"With the capability in the Scout SV, we're really looking for the type of people who play Xbox games – tech-savvy people who are able to take in a lot of information and process it in the proper way,"
AKA:
"With the capability in the Scout SV, we're really looking for the type of people who play Xbox games – trigger-happy twitchy gamers who are able to follow commands, complete objectives, ask no questions, question no commands. No critical thinking required"
Praising one-man work (Minecraft), then "if only some brilliant designers take the lessons from Minecraft" (aka like Romero, right?), then it would elevate the genre and the gaming scene etc etc.
Hey Romero, people have already been creating/playing with the environment, if you want to "refine", better start working and stop talking, others are ahead in the game.
It will be cool to see the comments in the thousands, even if all are screaming in unison the same two words.. "Fuck beta".
But seriously, fuck beta and you're not google: shove it down our throats and many of us will be out.
There's a counterpoint to that. When the relationships get a bit more complicated ( inversely proportional to the square of the log in the power of the absolute whatever that was), the linear and verbose form of text is not as helpful as a neat equation. You can 'read' it with your eyes multiple times really quickly to absorb all the relationships and see the bigger picture of what the formula says.

But still it's cool in an industrial-music-sort-of-way.

"challenged? "So rude. "Kinetically special" please from now on.
Still, :(
Your vision became my lifetime hobby, work and creativity outlet.

Incapacitate en-mass, kill the ones that are *actually with intention to kill you*. Choice quote for you: Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Because then it's not physical, it's psychological. My doctor told me the other day.
hmm I'd rather have olives and feta, the one true taste combo.

So that people have a better reason to do that
