this stuff is all so ridiculous. the small amount of greenhouse gasses that we as humans put out is miniscule compared to the total output. if bill gates was recieving 100B dollars per year from his corporation and we decided to donate 10M dollars per year to his bank account, you think he cares about the amount we give him?
the global warming is a natural phenomenon, it isnt something caused by humans
it isnt really skimming if you need access to the cards to get it. if you had the cards in your wallet and your wallet got stolen... they would have access to all your cards. if anything, this might make it easier, because you could cancel the account for your device, and they wouldnt have access to it anymore.
for gaming, id rather have 3x 27 inch monitors. i can play a maximized game in the middle screen and have other stuff on the other two monitors. you dont need anything higher than 1080p for gaming because the games are only 1080p at best resolution. even if you can go higher, you will have such crap fps it wouldnt be worth it.
theres no point in buying a 3dtv or a 4k ultra resolution tv when you cant watch anything on it with either...
televesion is at best 1080p, and you can only get fake 3d tv. if you want to watch a 3d movie, you have to pay extra. if you want to stream movies, dont even think you will get 4k resolution any time soon. even if you could find something online with 4k resolution, you wouldnt be able to stream it without a gigabit internet connection.
thats like saying that everything in reality is an led screen because it is reflecting light into your eyes... the thing is, with this technology, they could send whatever light they want to send to your retina, it doesnt have to be a screen... it doesnt even have to be rectangular. they could even put a camera on it and send a modified real world image to your eyes for AR games.
plus it is much closer to true virtual reality that we are looking for. anyone can mount a screen on your head, but not many ppl can put a screen directly in your mind.
the difference is that this has no display, it sends light directly to your eyes. the OR has a screen. projected onto the screen is whatever is in the game. your eyes then see the screen and project it onto the retina. this completely cuts out the screen. because it cuts out the screen, your eyes do not get strained from seeing bright lights in close proximity to your eyes, but instead you 'see' the image as it is coming out of the game.
all i can think about is time warner and youtube. all youtube videos are throttled so horribly with time warner that i cant even watch 480p. time warner also cuts off the buffering after a certain amount of time, so you cant just leave it buffering all day either.
the avegant technology could easily be scaled to a high FoV... the guy said that in the interview. also, being how it is, it would be a much more immersive technology than the rift. eventually they WILL directly compete.
silk road isnt the problem, just like the drugs arent the problem. the problem is the people who do bad things.
if A implies B, and B is bad, that doesnt necessarily mean that A is bad, it just means that under the current circumstances B goes along with A.
yea...this is DEFINITELY going to work. we all know that piracy is illegal... we do it because we think the mpaa are assholes and overprice everything.
as soon as the us government stops the 'war on drugs', and decides to do something else about it, we will see a downfall of the drug lords. the exact same thing happened during prohibition. our government apparently never learned how those who dont learn about history are doomed to repeat it.
no, what we NEED is for the us government to realize how dumb they are being with the 'war on drugs' billions of US tax dollars are wasted yearly on it, and they have nothing to show for it. each year prison overcrowding increases because they fill up the prisons with ppl who smoked weed. meanwhile they are letting rapists and murderers go free because they cant fit all the weed smokers in prison.
except thats not how internet works... your usage spikes when loading something and goes down to zero when not. if i want to watch a movie, id rather it buffer super fast at the beginning and then be done than have it take 6 hrs to buffer.

in texas it is illegal for tesla to sell their cars because the dealerships lobbied the government to stop them from cutting out the middle man.
a huge number of them.

the only 4k monitor on newegg is 3500$

my camera is 8MP... not nearly enough to get even close to 4k resolution. i also wouldnt buy an expensive tv just to show pictures

youtube is owned by google now... they dont throttle on purpose. when i had att this never happened.
doesnt work for me... i tried it a while ago.

i think this might completely overwhelm the occulus rift. the fact that it can be adjusted to your eyesight is pretty awesome as well.
everything that does anything similar is illegal... just look at weed...

... thats 8M euros for the petabyte...
i wonder how they are going to ruin this expansion like they did the last two. i also wonder how many million players they will lose this year.
the UK isnt anywhere near as fat as the US.
