Seriously, using the water and then dumping it? Why not just cool down the water (by using a passive radiator) and reuse it? I know at least one datacenter that does exactly this.
essentially the mods are dickheads and there is a debate about every 2nd article if it meets the importance criteria as if they had to fit the whole think on a single floppy and need to save bytes.
I distinctly remember experiments like this being conduced already ages ago, iirc under russian lead, but with pretty much exactly the same setup (including communication delay).
Apart from my other post: I think what most people are excited about is not so much the stereo vision, but that head-tracking can finally packed into the same unit with reasonable delays. Some years ago you still had to do crappy ir-cam-setups with dorky blips on your glasses for that and needed a small cluster for calculation (ok, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point)
Ack, that should have gone in quotation marks. I also remember my 1st encounter with "consumer-grade" stereo glasses back in the 90s where there was an exhibition and you could "bungee-jump" from some tower (essentially a vr-headset - from sony iirc - and you jumped from a small podest into a bungee gear... pretty impressive effect though, at least for my 10 year old self;)).
Nobody ever said VR was anything new or something, its just new in the consumer field. I had an internship years ago building stuff based on a framework by Mercedes (iirc) which had awesome vr capabilities and could essentially drive you anything from a 3d-monitor to a cave-installation with back-projections on every wall
I mean seriously, its just packing X into a box, attaching it to a drone, and setting the delivery target. Could we also get new articles every time Amazon adds a new item and ships it for the first time? "X Delivered By UPS Guy, Didn't Break It!"
because as much as you can criticize, they are the best pick for an internationally recognized organization that does not have ulterior motives like private companies or even many NGOs.
well, there clearly was the potential, but they screwed it up in many ways (eg. that I couldn't buy one in my 1st world country, even though I could have used it quite well because at times I travel to remote places... how do you suspect to get users like that?:P)

Wonder material until we realized its actually causing all sorts of troubles :(
just abbrevate it ... LSSL does not sound that bad to me :)

when you can already burn it as fuel ;)
just not the macroscopic world.

better make a genome-test to find out!
you forgot to calculate the revenue loss because of bad publicity.

Ohter vendors (at least one german one, though I dont remember which) can remote-unlock your car as well and noone complains.
Or do you think an inventor or composer has someone to hold xir hand while xe works on something new and awesome?
Surely not people in a Non-US country doing business with people from another Non-US country.
Stop pushing your broken morale on us!
Because what true klingon drinks beer anyway?
Because who cares about the environment, right?
Monkey Island knew it all along!
on the other hand, who really cares about getting access to your machine if you can get access to all the browser-based info through some js exploit?
and we are done.
ah, didnt hear that in a long time

that does not work _at_all_ if you have a halfway decent content- and tracking-blocker installed
