It could easily be done but I thought big downloads, tons of storage, and the need for lots of VRAM are what they're trying to avoid. I mean these days a Pentium chip can render quite a bit but I know OnLive or whatever it was called wanted to run it on something closer to an Intel GMA adapter. That or anything else HDCP-capable-ish.
When I move my wired mouse, the cursor moves 100% of the time. If this eye tracking stuff is even 99% accurate, it loses the mouse vs eyes contest and aggrivates the user. Touch, motion, eye-tracking, and all other assorted stupidity are all inferior to the controls we have now and are just fancy, futuristic gimmicks.
I could have sworn there was another company that recently discovered that you cannot in fact stream 1920x1080 uncompressed over a standard internet connection and went bankrupt. Now Nvidia is trying to do it? So a server can render it, great. So a PC can receive and render it, great. How does the data get between the two? In a delayed, heavily compressed format with a 50+ ms delay, that's how. Totally pointless.
So, they basically try to attack their competition by pulling a major service from it and making it look bad and then they hand out a free maps app to Apple, which was on the verge of total user rage meltdown over Apple's maps application. Yeah, that makes sense.
I live in Wisconsin. We have a nickname for anyone whose car goes in the ditch on the highway during a big snowstorm: morons. It's always some piece of crap minivan or Saturn Ion or Pontiac of some sort. The driver is always in a hurry or forgot that 4 wheel drive doesn't do anything for stopping and tada, ditch. Last major snowstorm there was approx 1 car in the ditch every 1.5 miles. No amount of sparkly snowflakes on the road will keep people that stupid from driving that stupidly, trust me. They're just idiots who will never learn their lesson. They're all Wisconsin plates too so don't go thinking it's someone from Texas or something who's never seen snow because those people are smart enough to stay home.
This idea would be a giant waste of time and money and not benefit anyone.
what other obvious things didn't we really bother to check?
Whether or not dark matter is a calculation error before having celebrity scientists make a dozen specials about it made out of 95% theoretical fluff BS.
So you give more energy to it to force it into a high energy state and that lowers its temperature even though it's more energy? Or you force the material to act like it's in a high energy state without giving it the energy so its amount of transmittable heat results in a math glitch? Either way, that's stupid and all it means is temperature isn't measured correctly. I'm in the minority who considers temperature to be total average speed that a group of atoms are moving at. Since that type of system can't drop below zero, I'd say it's superior.
How about you instead explain in normal people terms (or at least computer specialist terms) how atoms can have less motion than not moving at all, because that sounds completely made up and impossible.
I am SO SICK of older IT workers who fail to properly keep up with whatever they do and then this is the result. The IT manager at my old company (a hospital btw) couldn't actually name most of the parts in a modern desktop. He was in his 50's. Programmers are even worse. They're too lazy to learn new languages so they just don't and sort of cruise by with a half-assed attempt at making something sort of work. The best part is, they get paid the most! I now own my own computer repair business and if someone walks in and I know nothing about Windows 8, they walk right back out. You keep up or you go work in a different field. That's IT, deal with it. I'd push very hard for him to get fired.
And every other version of Office, Visual Studio, and everything else they've ever released. We learned about the "Microsoft cycle" as a legitimate thing in college. They release something actually good, people buy it, and MS thinks they're invincible. Then they do something unpopular and experimental and think they can get away with it because their sales on the last version were unstoppable. Then it fails miserably, everyone gets fired, and they release something the customers actually want. I have a feeling that Windows 9 is going to end this cycle though because it sounds like it will be awful.
Those in glass houses shouldn't throw website URLs. Don't actually do the same to him, just let him know that you can and would and he'll take them down ASAP.
I just keep my personal info completely off anything public on the internet. Tada, zero results (other than whitepages-style listings for people who aren't me). I don't have a Facebook account, my Google account has a fake name, etc. What a coincidence, I don't have problems like this.
They're obviously stealing the idea from video games, as a metal robotic hedgehog already exists. Mecha Sonic ring a bell? Oh and for the record, he was on a space station in the game.
WTF? How is anyone buying this load of BS? A couple years ago it was more than $1 more expensive than now basically everywhere in the US for the entirety of the year. I would know, I was there when it happened.
So...what are the approximate odds that they'll be able to get the US to extradite basically every scientology employee (yes, I said employee) to Belgium to get locked up forever? lol.
If they'd have recognized the many, many red flags all around the media and internet screaming that Zynga is evil, greedy, devious, copycatting bastards run by the king of all assholes and should be avoided at all costs, maybe the players wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
However, Microsoft is now perfectly positioned to corner the market on firing CEOs, designers, and project managers. They could outdo any other company 10:1 if they just find whoever was responsible for these atrocities and get rid of them

I have a feeling that Legos are going to beat most of the private companies into space. They'll probably outdo them on satellite launches too.

Al Jazeera breaks about 100 FCC laws before noon so good luck with that.

So with zero energy, the atoms aren't moving at all. So what are the atoms doing at negative temperatures?
How about you instead explain in normal people terms (or at least computer specialist terms) how atoms can have less motion than not moving at all, because that sounds completely made up and impossible.
I believe the article did in fact say that the parents failed their saving throws against poison so indeed, it was based on DDO.
Yeah, make everyone buy new cash registers, retrain employees, and get new software. That'll save a whole bunch of money...for the government.

You might want to log in so people can mod you down.
I'm sure Apple has a patent on Linux on phones. I mean, their products are Unix-based. I bet SCO might get in on some of this action too, lol.

At least they didn't invest in Facebook itself though.
