  1. Re:"Once more unto the breach, my friends." on Congress Plans DMCA Sequel: The SSSCA · · Score: 1

    kinda reminds me of the argument for putting speed detectors in your own car, you go too fast your car tickets you, but anybody that knew how or knew somebody who knew how would be disabling it, so whats the point in having them? sounds like the same thing

  2. no! thats just a snake! really! on The Well-Connected Park Bench · · Score: 1

    Just ignore the wire going from the bench to my apartment, its nothing, really!

  3. what bothers me . . . on 3-Dimensional Holographic Projector · · Score: 2

    1) you have to have the actual object inside the device that projects it
    2) its inc. yet i cant seem to buy stock in them
    3) their site just screams "we did it! we made some awesome new technology! when its just a bunch of magician tricks with mirrors that they've been doing for some time now
    4) this statement: "To further extend the inherent advantages of 3D images, Dimensional Media(tm) can add a tactile force feedback interface to the Hypercube 3D Display(tm) This feature allows the user to not only see 3D images but to touch and feel them as though they were real objects. This quantum leap in capability can be used to . . ."

    basically you have to hold something to feel the feedback, in the medical example its a pair of forceps, wheres the "quantum leap" here? its just VR with the old volumetric display we've heard about since something like july with force-feedback forceps, nothing new to see here, just a few technologies coming together under the name "Dimensional Media(tm)" and then they boast that its "radical" and "new"

    i started out awed, but in the end i was upset at how stupid it is, they made it out to be something entirely new.

  10. all you need to do . . . on Olympus' Headmounted Display · · Score: 1

    hook a really fast, really small computer to it with an a/v in/out to it, then hook a digital camera into the av-in (dont forget to strap it to the side of your head too), and you have succesfully integrated your desktop into your every day life. Just think of the uses, you never have to leave your desk again! you can even put a fidely (or whatever it was called) keypad in your one hand and one of those cool mouse/pointers in the other hand. who needs the real world anyways?

  11. hmmm on DTI Stereoscopic LCD Virtual Window Review · · Score: 2

    yeah, i cant wait to be playing q3 and have a fly buzz up and land on the screen, "damn, i cant hit that stupid thing with a rocket for the life of me, maybe i should try my rail gunn"
