but the vast majority of electricity is produced from coal.
You think that 39% is a "vast majority"? The US is rapidly moving from coal to natural gas because the price of natural gas is falling as domestic production increases. All in all, an electric car creates slightly less pollution than a Prius.
I thought that Oculus had always planned on using off-the-shelf cell phone displays. If they can keep the retail price under $300, they will sell a ton of units.
Yeah, I was just reading about that on his Wikipedia page. Sci-Fi writers are not known for their mental stability but he seemed particularly out there.
It really sucks that Philip K Dick died at 53, broke, after cranking out 44 novels and 120 short stories. Between Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Paycheck, and A Scanner Darkly, he deserved to have some financial reward while he was still alive.
Let's say on Monday you are ordered to bomb a large military base. You want a warhead with the largest lethality radius possible- to kill as many enemy soldiers and destroy as much equipment as possible.
On Tuesday you're ordered to bomb a house occupied by an enemy commander, and you notice that it's a block away from a school. You now want a different warhead that contains its destructive force to a much smaller radius and just destroys the target without killing nearby civilians.
If used properly, the concept is actually the opposite of what a mass murdered/psychopath would want.
Yeah. It's such bullshit that Porsche wants me to give them $180,000 for a 911 Turbo. It's just a couple pieces of metal and four wheels. They should be free.
These countries are only criticizing the US because the US has criticized their human rights records. It has nothing to do with their concern for human rights.
I'm glad to see that not everyone on this site is an idiot.
If CitiGroup was refusing to turn over emails in a huge securities fraud investigation because their email server was in another country, do you think the Slashdot mob would be so supportive of their privacy rights? I doubt it.

Do those phones use custom or off-the-shelf displays?

Given Saddam Hussein's long history with chemical weapons, was it reasonable to assume he had an active chemical weapons program in 2002?
Yes. I doubt everything that I don't have evidence of.
You use the present tense to describe a situation that ended 37 years ago? That's pretty odd.
Evidence?
The fad has come and gone, but the Rock Band/Guitar Hero genre was pretty novel.

So, the future of gaming is... the past of gaming, but at higher resolution!
When has that not been the case?

Citation?
I see lots of news stories about Hamas creating a new joint government with Fatah last month and none about them leaving it.

That same. But the UN wouldn't look like a bunch of hypocrite assholes.

They were allowed in because we want them to actually take part in and consider human rights.
How has that worked out?
NY has a unique position among states because so many finance-related companies are headquartered there.
Not everyone can be a genius like you. Sorry.
These countries are only criticizing the US because the US has criticized their human rights records. It has nothing to do with their concern for human rights.
The fact that those countries were allowed into any human rights group shows what a worthless joke the UN has become.
Let's take a look at the membership of the UN Human Rights Commission-
China
Kuwait
Pakistan
Russia
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Venezuela
Clearly these folks are qualified to tell other people about how important civil rights are.
Did you read the response? It's great.

"Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"
Wait...your examples of non-corrupt governments are China and India? That's hilarious.
