Couldn't Slashdot post the image in the summary? I mean, it's not even like it'd be an illustration; this article is literally all about a specific image.
You can do it with annoying autoplaying videos, so why not a simple JPEG?
The thing is, in the provided picture, the dress actually IS white [...] or at least grey [...]
What's your definition of "IS" here? Because the only objective measure I can think of is to look at the RGB values, and pretty much every pixel in the "blue" area has a B value about 20%-30% higher than the R or G value. That, to me, makes it about as objectively blue as it's possible to be.
All I care about is whether or not they've fixed jerky playback with the default settings. There's some loop filter you have to disable if you want smooth playback of x264 video - I don't know whether it's because the loop filter takes place after read-ahead caching, or what, but it's a pain.
Having the ability to touch any word on the screen and have definitions, translations, and wikipedia entries pop up as you read (which is great for many of the older books) is a fantastic benefit
Yeah, no kidding. I've caught myself trying it on printed magazines more than once.
An optical system with astigmatism is one where rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes have different focus.
What the article seems to be about, though, is the way images as viewed in a VR headset get blurrier as you move away from the center, seemingly equally in all directions.
No, no, no - this is like if you dropped your wallet, and someone used the personal information inside (from your driver's licence, credit cards, etc) to steal your identity, get a credit card in your name, spend the bank's money, and leave you liable.
I trust that, like the judge in this case, you can now see why this is not a problem at all.

The retail RTM ISOs are readily available, with checksums to ensure that they haven’t been tampered with.
Ah, but how do you know the checksums haven't been tampered with, ay? Yeah...

tennis balls on the bottom.
Isn't that a deleted scene from Fifty Shades of Grey?
Actually that may not have been "on"...
Is it really so very, very hard to just leave things alone?
If you keep playing with it, it'll fall off.
Wow, that was a fun game Slashdot, but I finally found the hidden "Post" button.
Green text on a very slightly darker green background? Genius!
Get your act together. You're looking even more amateurish than usual.
I'm trying to work out how you managed to even post a top level comment, since I can't see any way to do so at the moment.
...what do the other characters from Harry Potter think?
What? GP was joking, albeit darkly. What does the low rate of deaths have to do with anything?

Botulism is an illness, not a thing, so that's a bit like saying cigarettes have lung cancer in them.
Metaphorically correct, but the kind of thing a dedicated pedant would feel compelled to respond to.
Ah...
parents of babies who seem likely to develop a peanut allergy
How does one identify a baby who "seems" likely to develop a peanut allergy?
Because there were no planes blocking out the sunlight. Duh!
Our government is EXPLICITLY forbidden from doing so.
Is the government also explicitly forbidden from permitting itself to do things differently in the future?
Its a fundamentally part of our law.
I'm not sure how fundamental it can really be considered to be, given that it's an ammendment to something else.
I got that, I just don't see that it fits the definition of astigmatism. It sounds a lot more like spherical aberration.

According to the linked Wikipedia page:
An optical system with astigmatism is one where rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes have different focus.

Uh...
Worst. Haiku. Ever.
Maybe he works in my building. Nothing is ever anything other than computer error, as far as everyone other than me is concerned.
I'm slightly older then most of you
How do you know how old most of me is?
Could Fossils of Ancient Life From Earth Reside On the Moon?
I'm sure they could, if we took some there.
You're supposed to read the actual article before opening your yap.
It's /. Respect the culture.
Or what?
First you say people should be reading the article, then you say /. culture should be respected. Those are mutually exclusive!
Yes, he did. He asked if the guy was "actually" extradited.
He said "Was he actually extradited by Russia" which doesn't imply that due process wasn't followed.
