That's such a shame. Means that the only HMDs available will be the $999 ones from tekgear, bought by enthusiasts who say "Damn the risks!" much like early proponants of the aeroplane and motorcar.
Gah. Rich people. I wish I could afford their toys.
Are you allowed to tell us more about the specs of your HMD and how you got the price so low? Maybe somebody on slashdot would jump at the chance to resurect your project...
A happy coincidence that the MPEG encoding format selectively keeps the parts of the screen that change to compress moving images.
An MPEG decoder card designed for this screen embedded in a purpose built portable dvd player could actually be easier to implement than for a raster screen.
it means that the cathode has small bumps on it that are less than 10nm wide. those bumps are what the dye (vilogen) sticks to to give it colour when it is in the "coloured state".
If you tried to make the bumps any larger, the colours would look all washed out, because you'd see more bump than dye.
Hmm. What does this mean for Curious Yellow a theoretical superworm that uses SHA-1 to hash the addresses of infected computers and form a slow spreading, nearly silent network of zombie boxes awaiting arbitary code.
If CY doesn't upgrade its hash, then its network would be exposed.
Is there anybody who (having used both) can tell us if the alphagrip can challenge the supremecy of the handykey twiddler chording keyboard as the device for typing while running?
do you think US special forces are going to be punching in artillery corrections on a ruggedized alphagrip instead of the L3 wrist keyboard that I'm told they used in the 1990s?
One thing about apollo 1. They were officially a test mission - their job was to sit in the capsule and flick all the switches as if they were going through a pre-flight check... specifically for the purpose of finding out if they were going to burn to death durning the normal operation of the capsule (they were).
The crew was re-designated apollo 1 posthumously in honor of their sacrifice.
using telomerase - it's an enzyme discovered by accident in cancer research. Cancer cells express it atopically and have infinite lifespans (killing you). Telomerase is supposed to be active in the cells that give rise to your sperm and egg to keep them forever young.
Here's the thing, I didn't vote for you. It was cool cause I didn't want to. Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone. Inaugurated, sat in the oval room. Wasn't long before the dot-com boom. Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone. And all you'd ever hear me say Is "Don't globalize our jobs!" That's all you'd ever hear me say.
BUT SINCE U BEEN GONE.... We've got this insane cowboy. I visit MoveOn-Dot-Com After you - rednecks get - what they want Since u been gone
How can I put it, I was afraid of you. I even was afraid of Janet Reno. Yeah, yeah. Since u been gone. How come I never hear you say "We'll have a smaller government" I guess you never felt that way.
BUT SINCE U BEEN GONE.... Hi-Cap mags are back in our schools Torture isn't wrong. Yeah, yeah. After you - the whole world - hates our guts. Since u been gone.
You had your chance, you blew it Out of sight out of mind. Shut your fly, I just can't take it Again and again and again and again
SINCE U BEEN GONE.... (Since u been gone....) Eternal war against terror. Little Green Footballs is popular. After you (After you) Our dollar - took a plunge. I'd vote for your wife if I could. But not John Kerry, he's a douche bag. After you (After you) Now you know (you know) You should know( you should know) Red China, The Chinese own our ass.

I've figured out our difference - I'm thinking from the perspective of the government and what it can do, you're thinking from the perspective of an individual and what you can do. In order for one of us to have space to plan, the other must let it ride.
I guess the more important question is - Do either of us want to have our planet heat up and radically alter its climate patterns?
It may not be as sudden or as violent as the models predict, but you have to admit that a big change to the average temperature will radically alter the planet's weather at a pretty basic level. Even if the warming is not our fault (volcanoes etc) if we want to live, we have to stop it.
Back to your other point - Did you know that all the people not killed by government actions were killed by individual actions, some of which could have been prevented or delayed by proper legislation? (obesity, smoking, heart disease, auto accidents, suicide etc...)
No, the big scary predictions are there to scare us back onto the straight and narrow.
It's like when you tell a friend "You're drunk. If you drive home you'll kill somebody," when you know that he only has a 1 in 10 chance of actually killing somebody on that night, you still might be able to stop him and drive him home yourself, preventing a potential accident.
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.
Having a let it ride attitude is a good way to meet with the day you really needed that gun, and didn't have one.

You looked at OJ Simpson?
Some poor bastard alien got his statue blown to bits and scattered all over teh solar system. That'll learn him.
Uh, I think that's the training instructor for the other side of the Iraq war talking.

Licencing the name "Skywalker" and then having to deal with the fallout from Episode III.
Oh and the inevitable "That's no moon! It's a space station!" jokes.

And it still can't run Longhorn.

Hey pyromosh, I've navigated to your images directory and seen the furry photos. where's the m16 you were talking about in your sig?
...who sent a love letter to this girl three times a day for three years?
She married the postman: He was always there.
In blade runner, the limited lifespan was a design decision.
Our gene therapy technology already outstrips the fictional tyrell corporation's state of the art, because we can revise a person's genome after they've fully differentiated in to a complete mature human being.

Yeah, the original line I had was
"We smack down faggots for our family values"
but it didn't scan, and it didn't reflect the mentality of the kind of (non)voter that I'm parodying.
details here
and probably on slashdot somewhere.
Bottom line - you can use concentrated gelatine to make a fake fingertip. as seen in the movie Gattaca
If I had mod points I'd give them to you. Crime and Terrorism have replaced hope and futurism.
Perhaps this would be a good time to mention the No Killer Robots movement.

Rupert Murdoch no longer pays taxes to australia, being a fully naturalized american citizen.
George Walker Bush Jr (2 term) was the son of George Herbert Walker Bush Sr (1 term).
They can drop the Jr and Sr any time they like, as the current president has totally eclipsed his father now.
