I should add the series is available to watch on discovery.com and I did try to watch it there first. At night to put me to sleep, it's Mike Rowe's narration, knocks me right out.
But there is the same video AD played every 5mins or less, while it's being viewed, that I just can't take it anymore.
I got my first Notice of Copyright Infringement not one but 8, one file which consist of 8 episodes. Hell it's even on youtube.

That said, we don’t know quite a few things about this inflationary state, and what this does is bring up a huge number of both uncertainties and also possibilities:
Comes across as a disclaimer, can't prove him right or wrong, while allowing a lot of leeway.
Then take that algebra class (or get a book). Most people don't really understand it the first time they take it anyway. It mainly comes down to learning to think of things in terms of pictures. Everyone I know who actually understands algebra thinks of it that way.
As for me, I've been going back and reviewing calculus......every week while I'm waiting for my laundry.
I had to learn Nuclear Physics and a crash course at that; which math I had to learn and much more to certify. An electronics course I took uses a lot of math; if what goes in doesn't come out the same it's wrong; 5 volts in can be accounted for through math.
I've read every book I could find on quantum physics (Quantum mechanics) till it sunk in that I had to take someone else's word for something that would most likely be outdated or disproved later. No way to dig any deeper unless I could do the math (I can't) and my comment on math being under rated; numbers as I see it (now) can explain just about anything depending upon how the product is derived, even outside of reasoning. (Where did we get that (equation) from? Nowhere. It is not possible to derive it from anything you know. It came out of the mind of Schrödinger. —Richard Feynman)
Algebra I always blow, working out a finals question (College) that took some 10-15 minutes, I came up with the correct answer: 0, It wasn't till the next day it hit me, damn!
I don't wish to be "stuck" with Win10 as it's going subscription after a year free.
Where did you get that information from? I saw they are going to charge for it after the first year and that they will obviously charge OEMs for it so they can make money but I didn't see anything about "subscription".
"Correction: Windows 10 will be a one-time upgrade, free for the first year of release, and there will not be a subscription model attached, as this post initially reported." http://mashable.com/2015/01/21...
Take a backup if you are so precious about your current OS, it even tells you how in the Insider documentation - enough has changed that they have to migrate the user account stuff, so that gives an indication of how different things are now.
And yes, you can select your updates, just like before.
I don't wish to be "stuck" with Win10 as it's going subscription after a year free. I'm used to dual booting always have, it allows a choice.
Should be a way do this (EasyBCD), I'll figure it out (not asking).
Thanks for the update on the updates.:)
It should be noted that if you upgrade within the first year of its release, its free for the life Windows 10. So its not a subscription but rather a limited time offer.
Second reply, different day.
I'm going to try it out, I was loaned a brand new Acer Aspire 64 bit laptop. It's Win8, so I've been prepping it for Win8.1 then thought hell, might as well go on to Win10. I had much more to add but after reading the agreement it's best left unsaid, and the tape over the web cam stays.
But may disable mobile phones permanently? That's harsh.
Had a hell of a scare, hotmail.com is my e-mail address, https://account.live.com/ kept verifying me by sending E-mail that said if it's really me don't do anything, wrong. This went on for over an hour, the account itself in jeopardy.
The scare? I rarely log into MS yet most of my E-mail goes to hotmail.com (https://account.live.com ?) then forwarded elsewhere. Been like that for a very long time, they now have a second e-mail address to verify me by; but hell they've been forwarding to it for just as long... Wonder how Bing is holding up...
* Hotmail didn't have POP3, the other address did, I download all of my E-mail to read with Forte's Agent 6.
If you were learning BASIC on a TRS-80 Model III, there were a very large amount of computer languages around already.
One could only purchase programs at Radio Shack and ours was lacking in that area, It's how I got into assembly language it showed up there one day.
The game "Asylum" was part of the package I was given, complete the entire game, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... I had diagrams of the layout put some work into it, Our Radio Shack never carried games either.
To mail order something was just something I/we never did, never an option, never came to mind. Now everything comes from NewEgg.com.
My first real work with C++ started when I was about 44. Don't blame your age for inability to learn.
I knew putting an age down was going to get replies, I change it up many times before the submit:}
Most likely your better hackers learned the trade as teens, me something else always comes up I have to attend to, I did lean the structure of C++ all that to jump into Java which I just never really got anywhere with.

Why would anyone still run virus-infested Winders in this day and age? Just use Linux you retards.
I run Windows because of the games I play, sometimes up till 6 AM.
I also have problems installing Linux or to be exact it's placement, three hard drives, and a 2TB USB UEFI drive which pretty much does what it wants to under a bios system.
I create three partitions meant to be swap, main, and storage; formatted in advanced to be such. I get one partition being used and a swap file created elsewhere.
There's more but it doesn't bode well for me or my abilities (which I consider to be, well able) to mention.
"This is a full build, and it will be installed as an in-place upgrade, so you’ll go through those colorful “installing your apps” screens again. This is because your account is being re-provisioned after the upgrade."
So you lose your current OS, not being able to install it elsewhere.
"You’ll notice that there is not a separate “Check Now” button here. This is because the button to check for WU updates now also checks for new builds."
I don't see any problems here... Unless your still able to select your updates. Else a future/. article will be of a bad update that took out all participants.
While studies show that a gamma ray burst most likely hit the earth causing the "The Ordovician–Silurian extinction events"= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...–Silurian_extinction_events. The extinction occurred 443.4 million years ago, during one of the most significant diversifications in Earth history."
Yet we survived as an intelligent life form.
Or survival has been protected in no small way by the fact were in a fairly unpopulated spiral of the galaxy. The closer to the center of the galaxy, the more populated (with stars) it becomes and chances of any intelligent life greatly reduced.
Now with the Andromeda galaxy fast approaching things could change, but Earth will be long gone or uninhabitable.
To note: one large star very far away when it goes black hole, it's polar emissions has us targeted, but it's not expected to happen for quite sometime so as not of any concern; again Earth pry won't have any life at that time.
why the USA still has an embargo against Cuba? (sensible answers only please).
Votes.
You get the old-people-who-still-fear-those-godless-red-bastards vote, and you get the Cuban exile vote. And you get the agriculture vote, because we grow a hell of a lot more corn than sugar.
Almost everything produced in the U.S. uses high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) rather than sugar and there is a difference. Being a LOT of Mexican stores around I go to them as anything sold there is authentic and made of real sugar, and my source of Coca-Cola for one.
"The use of HFCS in the United States is partially attributable to government tariffs that maintain domestic sugar prices at above the global price and subsidies to corn growers that lower the cost of the primary ingredient in HFCS, corn. Since 1797 there have been a system of sugar tariffs and sugar quotas in the United States that maintains the price of imported sugar at levels up to twice the global price" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...
Except in this era of increasing server-side reliance, game piracy is becoming less of an issue. It will eventually get to the point where you're not actually buying the game, you're buying an account with which you can then play the game. Since the majority of people don't think twice about needing to be always connected this trend will only continue.
EA.COM now Origin.com started this with the Battle Field series. Steam, most don't mind always running as it's been operating for so long, I remember the/. article about Stream coming; being an on-line service, I tried to find it a few months ago with no luck, but it wasn't being accepted even back then.
Now a gamer can have numerous front doors running switching back and forth between games, A lot of needless overhead.
Origin doesn't have any requirement to be running. I just exit it when a game starts, 2.5 years later it complains about not being sync'd which again can be ignored, once a week I'll sync my games. Most are now following Steam's example (I only know of Steam and Origin, little about UBI.). Well just that UBI just shot themselves in the foot, yet again.
-------
I not only requested but had to call for the BF3 box (3 CD's are included), Yet all the first CD does is start downloading the game from Origin and many other mirrors.
They are still not talking about literacy - they are talking about problem solving. That makes it the new Mathematics, not the new literacy. (And yes, what I learned coding on my VIP not quite 40 years ago did help me with my degree in Math a few years later, so I do know what I'm talking about.)
Mathematics is under rated. I wish I'd of spent more time with it (progressing courses), but it's too late.
The early 1980's was when I discovered in the 7th grade that I came from a "poor" family for not having cable TV to get MTV and an Apple ][ to complete my Logo homework assignments. Worst part, it was the girls who told me.
I wanna know what the girls had to say!:)
I guess I was considered poor, staying at home while the better half pulled in just enough to meet the basics.
Early 80's I started "coding" or teaching myself Basic on the TRS 80 III (cassette storage) that was given to me. I was good except when it came to arrays. but it's also the only thing I had to do, MTV (local station) in the back ground but that was it. The TRS had it's own magazine of which I was also given (many in fact) that had basic programs which I would type in by hand (duh) taking 6 hours or more. It was debugging (that was always required) that I learned more from than anything else.
I started self teaching myself assembly language (TRS 80). Then leaning my job became everything -I had 18 months to learn (certify in) a subject I'd only known of in it's broadest terms.
Years later I went with the Amiga who's basic was so broken I had two choices, quit basic or toss the Amiga through a window/wall when a gimme wouldn't work (they went to ARexx, dropping Basic years later). I purchased an 2400 baud Supra modem ($240) for no real reason and found BBS's which took precedences over anything else.
Now what do you learn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...? So many languages have popped up (some gone now as well)*. yet almost all suggest a knowledge of C++ due to it's format or structure. I've tired (C++) but so many things get in the way, the most important being past the age of around 35 and much harder now, it came so easy when I was younger.
And no I've never used Excel, as the article seems to make such an importance in.
*ARexx is written in 68000 Assembly, and cannot therefore function at full speed with new PPC CPUs, a version of ARexx has not been rewritten for them
More standards compliant based on what? Chrome is 100% acid 3 compliant and has one tiny pause. Chrome has kicked IE's ass in standards compliance for years and continues to do so.
Opera up to 12+ always passed the acid tests, even acid test #1 when they shouldn't of been prepared for it. I don't think any other browser can make this claim. Opera 26 passes #3 100/100 (no pause and one tab edit from default) but it's chrome with a different skin. While not actually Chrome they are stepping in it's foot prints. About Opera 26: made possible by http://www.chromium.org/ it will import bookmarks but not Opera's:)
If the safety feature enables the brakes when a crash is 'imminent', it takes away the driver's discretion during the times braking is not advisable.
During icy conditions, when I'd rather kill that deer instead of my family, or when a piece of black plastic blows across the roadway, are three that come to mind.
Yep, my first thought: Deer's history anyhow why take the family with it, twice I've been in a car/truck when the hood opened on us, while a sudden stop wasn't necessary, these smart brakes going to allow one?
Hell with it, I'll just play cards and have my self driving car worry about it.
I have many E-mail accounts as I'm sure others do, all being forwarded to my main E-mail account (Gmail). Gmail allows POP3 which lets you download your E-mail, many E-mail sites don't offer that ablity.. Web based E-mail you need to open to read (or even see) you don't know what it's going to contain or do, mostly though install beacons -the sender, if a site you subscribe to will tell you this up front in it's privacy policy.
I use Agent as my E-mail/newsgroup reader, actually I've always used Agent starting with version.98 (so know of no other similar programs); at this time Agent 6 as it has SSL. While I prefer 1.93 it hasn't SSL and the latest update to Stunnel not only didn't work, neither will the older versions now.
Agent won't load HTML, allowing you to read your E-mail as text; most HTML E-mail have two "versions" the HTML followed by text, both saying the same thing. Agent will load your E-mail in your browser if you want, but I have rarely needed to.
I can tell if an attachment has been sent with the E-mail by it's flags (status), the first item listed before the lines the message has, subject, author, and date. If I don't know the sender I just delete it by right clicking on the line of E-mail info itself. Since I've already downloaded it, if I really wanted to I could go into my incoming directory and see what it is, but if an unknown sender I couldn't care.
Charter offers access to the newsgroups (UseNet) as part of it's service (no charge) which I use Agent for as well. I've begun to notice people referring to Google Groups as the newsgroups (not even close).
Headers, while not as informative as they used to be (senders IP address no longer listed) are fully listed and an option to view along with the message. None of the E-mail programs I've seen (cell phone and such) have more than a few lines and of no real value.
I see E-mail having bounced back and forth between Google servers much like ping-pong. Servers which btw use the 10.0.0.0 ip address block Https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918, all internal to Google. I was kind of impressed, cost em nothing.
I'd post one of the headers here but it would have to be edited to senselessness as it shows the complete path the E-mail followed; being forwarded E-mail, just too much info.
The only down side of Agent I've ever encountered are the features and options one has to work with, which can be overwhelming at first, this includes the message filtering system.
Not being that bright, a filter can take me quite awhile to get it to do just what I want, whether it's to begin downloading a file showing up sight unseen, or deleting one. The last time was to keep the first.par file but delete any additional.par files (ones needed to repair) as the newsgroups are very reliable, yep it took awhile.
But don't forget web based E-mail is a threat as well.
Feel I need to add: I have nothing to do with Agent (Forte), just a user.
Google has had no problem in the past with people rooting (jail breaking) their product, once sending dev developers a soon to be released Android phone so they could have a head start.
It's a good bet to say if you own an Android tablet/cell phone and enter "about device" clicking 7 times on say the "Kernel Number" listing or one of the info blocks you will enter Developer mode, for the Samsung S5 it's the “build number” info block.
Once your in dev mode you can run ADB: "ADB, Android Debug Bridge, is a command-line utility included with Google’s Android SDK. ADB can control your device over USB from a computer, copy files back and forth, install and uninstall apps, run shell commands, and more." http://www.howtogeek.com/12576...
A requirement and first step to rooting (jail breaking (owning)) a device.
Motorola said it wasn't possible for the Google Xoom tablet to use KitKat 4.4.2, a developer showed it was http://www.ubergizmo.com/2014/... making the old new again.
Hate to break it to you but Halo was an XBox release title.
Yes, and it's release made the Xbox relevant for the first time. I wouldn't be far off saying it saved the Xbox. Dependent upon how much money MS was willing to lose before dropping it; it's place in history listed along with the Dreamcast, and the Cube.
"Fastest-selling consumer gaming device of all time"? Bullshit.
Kinect, like everything else to do with Xbox, is a dismal failure. People bought it only when they had to, developers didn't support it, and the product was flaky. Now no-one cares.
I agree, PS2 owned the market, the Cube the first to go and Xbox expected to call it quits soon as they just weren't selling. Then Halo came out and everything changed.
I've never owned a Xbox but have played Halo (~2001) (Quake2 but with better graphics). I had a PC Voodoo 3Dfx graphics card (~1997), it came with a version of Quake 2 made for that graphics card, it's hard to say now which had the better graphics, the 3Dfx or Halo.
How does this device handle a dull or dark holographic image projected in a bright environment?
I don't think it projects anything, the power supply would be... well larger, I would think the hologram is created in the goggles which you would see as an item where it should be expected to be, on the wall, table, in the air.
A hologram can be copied optically by illuminating it with a laser beam, and locating a second hologram plate so that it is illuminated both by the reconstructed object beam, and the illuminating beam. Stability and coherence requirements are significantly reduced if the two plates are located very close together.[42] An index matching fluid is often used between the plates to minimize spurious interference between the plates. Uniform illumination can be obtained by scanning point-by-point or with a beam shaped into a thin line.
So knowing as much about them as you, the goggles are most likely two plates with an fluid separating them, the holograms being produced on the fly
There also exist holographic materials that do not need the developing process and can record a hologram in a very short time.
While I choose the quotes to show how it could be done within the goggle themselves. There does remain the fact what MS calls a hologram isn't: Things often confused with holograms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... they've have pushed IE as a web browser all these years.
The Privacy Policy I read long before the phone or TV states if you have legal issues with Samsung, they claim jurisdiction in some province in South Korea, which you have previously agreed to.
That's meaningless; your local laws will still apply. Microsoft couldn't get out of paying fines in the EU for monopolistic behaviour by saying "tough, you'll have to sue us in Washington". (Well, they could, but then they wouldn't be allowed to trade in the EU).
I figured it could be avoided, if I remember correctly (could be a stretch for me) the "you can not sue us" clause didn't prove of any affect and couldn't be enforced (the courts called BS). The line of jurisdiction was added to the post as it is indeed in the Privacy Policy showing more of what one is agreeing to.
To avoid tracking has gotten too hard to block, for me it was just an extension of using a HOSTS file which itself has become so large I have to disable the service "DNS Client" (Windows) to connect. Even those that don't track you for your data/info/habits use other means./. is just about the only site I frequent, my spam has increased substantially, almost every e-mail involving jobs in some nature. It's not hard to figure out their originator. Being retired I haven't applied for a job in many years nor ever joined any job searching sites.

It will eventually get to the point where you're not actually buying the game, you're buying an account with which you can then play the game. Since the majority of people don't think twice about needing to be always connected this trend will only continue.
EA.COM now Origin.com started this with the Battle Field series. Steam, most don't mind always running as it's been operating for so long, I remember the /. article about Stream coming; being an on-line service, I tried to find it a few months ago with no luck, but it wasn't being accepted even back then.
Now a gamer can have numerous front doors running switching back and forth between games, A lot of needless overhead.
Origin doesn't have any requirement to be running. I just exit it when a game starts, 2.5 years later it complains about not being sync'd which again can be ignored, once a week I'll sync my games. Most are now following Steam's example (I only know of Steam and Origin, little about UBI.). Well just that UBI just shot themselves in the foot, yet again.

I not only requested but had to call for the BF3 box (3 CD's are included), Yet all the first CD does is start downloading the game from Origin and many other mirrors.

They are still not talking about literacy - they are talking about problem solving. That makes it the new Mathematics, not the new literacy. (And yes, what I learned coding on my VIP not quite 40 years ago did help me with my degree in Math a few years later, so I do know what I'm talking about.)
Mathematics is under rated. I wish I'd of spent more time with it (progressing courses), but it's too late.
The early 1980's was when I discovered in the 7th grade that I came from a "poor" family for not having cable TV to get MTV and an Apple ][ to complete my Logo homework assignments. Worst part, it was the girls who told me.
I wanna know what the girls had to say! :)
I guess I was considered poor, staying at home while the better half pulled in just enough to meet the basics.
Early 80's I started "coding" or teaching myself Basic on the TRS 80 III (cassette storage) that was given to me. I was good except when it came to arrays. but it's also the only thing I had to do, MTV (local station) in the back ground but that was it. The TRS had it's own magazine of which I was also given (many in fact) that had basic programs which I would type in by hand (duh) taking 6 hours or more. It was debugging (that was always required) that I learned more from than anything else.
I started self teaching myself assembly language (TRS 80). Then leaning my job became everything -I had 18 months to learn (certify in) a subject I'd only known of in it's broadest terms.
Years later I went with the Amiga who's basic was so broken I had two choices, quit basic or toss the Amiga through a window/wall when a gimme wouldn't work (they went to ARexx, dropping Basic years later). I purchased an 2400 baud Supra modem ($240) for no real reason and found BBS's which took precedences over anything else.
Now what do you learn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...? So many languages have popped up (some gone now as well)*. yet almost all suggest a knowledge of C++ due to it's format or structure. I've tired (C++) but so many things get in the way, the most important being past the age of around 35 and much harder now, it came so easy when I was younger.
And no I've never used Excel, as the article seems to make such an importance in.
*ARexx is written in 68000 Assembly, and cannot therefore function at full speed with new PPC CPUs, a version of ARexx has not been rewritten for them
More standards compliant based on what? Chrome is 100% acid 3 compliant and has one tiny pause. Chrome has kicked IE's ass in standards compliance for years and continues to do so.
Opera up to 12+ always passed the acid tests, even acid test #1 when they shouldn't of been prepared for it. I don't think any other browser can make this claim. Opera 26 passes #3 100/100 (no pause and one tab edit from default) but it's chrome with a different skin. While not actually Chrome they are stepping in it's foot prints. About Opera 26: made possible by http://www.chromium.org/ it will import bookmarks but not Opera's :)
If the safety feature enables the brakes when a crash is 'imminent', it takes away the driver's discretion during the times braking is not advisable.
During icy conditions, when I'd rather kill that deer instead of my family, or when a piece of black plastic blows across the roadway, are three that come to mind.
Yep, my first thought:
Deer's history anyhow why take the family with it, twice I've been in a car/truck when the hood opened on us, while a sudden stop wasn't necessary, these smart brakes going to allow one?
Hell with it, I'll just play cards and have my self driving car worry about it.
I have many E-mail accounts as I'm sure others do, all being forwarded to my main E-mail account (Gmail). Gmail allows POP3 which lets you download your E-mail, many E-mail sites don't offer that ablity.. Web based E-mail you need to open to read (or even see) you don't know what it's going to contain or do, mostly though install beacons -the sender, if a site you subscribe to will tell you this up front in it's privacy policy.
I use Agent as my E-mail/newsgroup reader, actually I've always used Agent starting with version .98 (so know of no other similar programs); at this time Agent 6 as it has SSL. While I prefer 1.93 it hasn't SSL and the latest update to Stunnel not only didn't work, neither will the older versions now.
Agent won't load HTML, allowing you to read your E-mail as text; most HTML E-mail have two "versions" the HTML followed by text, both saying the same thing. Agent will load your E-mail in your browser if you want, but I have rarely needed to.
I can tell if an attachment has been sent with the E-mail by it's flags (status), the first item listed before the lines the message has, subject, author, and date. If I don't know the sender I just delete it by right clicking on the line of E-mail info itself. Since I've already downloaded it, if I really wanted to I could go into my incoming directory and see what it is, but if an unknown sender I couldn't care.
Charter offers access to the newsgroups (UseNet) as part of it's service (no charge) which I use Agent for as well. I've begun to notice people referring to Google Groups as the newsgroups (not even close).
Headers, while not as informative as they used to be (senders IP address no longer listed) are fully listed and an option to view along with the message. None of the E-mail programs I've seen (cell phone and such) have more than a few lines and of no real value.
I see E-mail having bounced back and forth between Google servers much like ping-pong. Servers which btw use the 10.0.0.0 ip address block Https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918, all internal to Google. I was kind of impressed, cost em nothing.
I'd post one of the headers here but it would have to be edited to senselessness as it shows the complete path the E-mail followed; being forwarded E-mail, just too much info.
The only down side of Agent I've ever encountered are the features and options one has to work with, which can be overwhelming at first, this includes the message filtering system.
Not being that bright, a filter can take me quite awhile to get it to do just what I want, whether it's to begin downloading a file showing up sight unseen, or deleting one. The last time was to keep the first .par file but delete any additional .par files (ones needed to repair) as the newsgroups are very reliable, yep it took awhile.
But don't forget web based E-mail is a threat as well.
Feel I need to add: I have nothing to do with Agent (Forte), just a user.
See now this is why Google is so successful.
I agree.
Google has had no problem in the past with people rooting (jail breaking) their product, once sending dev developers a soon to be released Android phone so they could have a head start.
It's a good bet to say if you own an Android tablet/cell phone and enter "about device" clicking 7 times on say the "Kernel Number" listing or one of the info blocks you will enter Developer mode, for the Samsung S5 it's the “build number” info block.
Once your in dev mode you can run ADB:
"ADB, Android Debug Bridge, is a command-line utility included with Google’s Android SDK. ADB can control your device over USB from a computer, copy files back and forth, install and uninstall apps, run shell commands, and more."
http://www.howtogeek.com/12576...
A requirement and first step to rooting (jail breaking (owning)) a device.
Motorola said it wasn't possible for the Google Xoom tablet to use KitKat 4.4.2, a developer showed it was http://www.ubergizmo.com/2014/... making the old new again.
Hate to break it to you but Halo was an XBox release title.
Yes, and it's release made the Xbox relevant for the first time. I wouldn't be far off saying it saved the Xbox. Dependent upon how much money MS was willing to lose before dropping it; it's place in history listed along with the Dreamcast, and the Cube.
"Fastest-selling consumer gaming device of all time"? Bullshit.
Kinect, like everything else to do with Xbox, is a dismal failure. People bought it only when they had to, developers didn't support it, and the product was flaky. Now no-one cares.
I agree, PS2 owned the market, the Cube the first to go and Xbox expected to call it quits soon as they just weren't selling. Then Halo came out and everything changed.
I've never owned a Xbox but have played Halo (~2001) (Quake2 but with better graphics). I had a PC Voodoo 3Dfx graphics card (~1997), it came with a version of Quake 2 made for that graphics card, it's hard to say now which had the better graphics, the 3Dfx or Halo.
How does this device handle a dull or dark holographic image projected in a bright environment?
I don't think it projects anything, the power supply would be... well larger, I would think the hologram is created in the goggles which you would see as an item where it should be expected to be, on the wall, table, in the air.
I did check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... before this reply, to quote:
A hologram can be copied optically by illuminating it with a laser beam, and locating a second hologram plate so that it is illuminated both by the reconstructed object beam, and the illuminating beam. Stability and coherence requirements are significantly reduced if the two plates are located very close together.[42] An index matching fluid is often used between the plates to minimize spurious interference between the plates. Uniform illumination can be obtained by scanning point-by-point or with a beam shaped into a thin line.
So knowing as much about them as you, the goggles are most likely two plates with an fluid separating them, the holograms being produced on the fly
There also exist holographic materials that do not need the developing process and can record a hologram in a very short time.
While I choose the quotes to show how it could be done within the goggle themselves. There does remain the fact what MS calls a hologram isn't: Things often confused with holograms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... they've have pushed IE as a web browser all these years.
The Privacy Policy I read long before the phone or TV states if you have legal issues with Samsung, they claim jurisdiction in some province in South Korea, which you have previously agreed to.
That's meaningless; your local laws will still apply. Microsoft couldn't get out of paying fines in the EU for monopolistic behaviour by saying "tough, you'll have to sue us in Washington". (Well, they could, but then they wouldn't be allowed to trade in the EU).
I figured it could be avoided, if I remember correctly (could be a stretch for me) the "you can not sue us" clause didn't prove of any affect and couldn't be enforced (the courts called BS). The line of jurisdiction was added to the post as it is indeed in the Privacy Policy showing more of what one is agreeing to.
To avoid tracking has gotten too hard to block, for me it was just an extension of using a HOSTS file which itself has become so large I have to disable the service "DNS Client" (Windows) to connect. Even those that don't track you for your data/info/habits use other means. /. is just about the only site I frequent, my spam has increased substantially, almost every e-mail involving jobs in some nature. It's not hard to figure out their originator. Being retired I haven't applied for a job in many years nor ever joined any job searching sites.
