Nice try. In the event that Obama were to adopt far right-wing policies, they would just go even *farther* to the right. We've already seen it on national security. Obama adopts the far-right position on national security, and Fox responds that he hasn't gone far enough.
Trying to get governments to fund a measure that is that kind of VERY long-term is difficult when so many are facing much more immediate problems. It's sort of like the heat-death of the universe. Sure, we know it's coming, but my kids need to eat TODAY.
It could have just as easily worked the other way around (Sony bumping up a planned announcement to get the drop on Occulus). But either way, I'm not sure I accept it as a coincidence.
You can TRADEMARK just about anything. Copyrighting and patenting are harder, of course, but that's not what we're talking about here. Shit, you can even trademark a common word (like "Apple," as it applies to computers anyway) .
Well, let's hope your mouthing off somehow keeps Russia from invading anyone. It's worked for the past few decades right?
Yeah, it pretty much has. In the 21st century, the U.S. has invaded and overthrown the government in two major countries (so far). In that same time, Russia has invaded one little strongly pro-Russian *part* of one country and overthrown 0 governments. So, by your logic, maybe the rest of the world should be a *LOT* more worried about the U.S. than Russia. I bet Iran and North Korea are (you think they would be so desperate to get nukes if they weren't afraid of U.S. invasion).
So far in the 21st century, the real bullies in the world aren't wearing Russian flags or even swastikas. They're wearing the stars and stripes, and they're bringing "freedom" at gunpoint.
My understanding is that some people are inherently susceptible to VR sickness no matter how high the framerate or resolution that the display is at. Combine that with the people who will be sick and disoriented by the movement controls, and it's pretty clear that VR simply isn't for everyone. But there is, and will be, a market for it. Hell, there was a market for the Virtual Boy. And that thing was a complete headache-inducing piece of shit.
Yeah, I know that guy. He's the same guy that was always into that band before they got all commercial and people like you came along. And he was biking to work *before* it was cool.
Once again, WTF are all you war-hawks wasting your time posting on/. for?? If you're so sure that you're fighting the next Hitler, than let me say it again: GO BUY A PLANE TICKET AND GO FIGHT! Absolutely no one is stopping you, and I'm pretty sure Ukraine will be happy to have you on board.
But you don't want to fight in this war or pay for it with your own money, right? You want THE REST OF US to fight and pay *for you*, while you sit back here at home and shoot off your fucking mouths, right?
Sorry, you want WWIII so fucking bad--go fight it yourselves, tough guys.
And by "we" you mean everyone else but you, right? Until YOU are ready to pick up a rifle and go fight in WWIII and pay high taxes to pay for the massive war you're proposing, then STFU. The rest of us "we" have no interest in starting a World War over some pissy little region in the Ukraine whose citizens clearly want to be part of Russia more than Ukraine anyway.
But please, don't let us stop you. A plane ticket and a Ukrainian Army recruitment office await you anytime, brave comrade!
Agree. These idiots screaming for the U.S. to once again be the world police in this are going to stumble us right into WWIII, over a tiny part of Ukraine that clearly doesn't even want our help.
In one of the episodes (Flight of the Phonenix, I believe) they did actually turn the virus back against the cylons, and destroyed a huge fleet of them.

There's certainly no shortage of lobbyists in Washington crying to Congress that they need more indentured servitude licenses (aka H-1B visas).
Much non-joy-joy behavior by the criminal Simon Phoenix.
Damn kids! In *my* day, OLPC laptops had a hand-cranked charger!
Like something out of the movie Inception
I just hope there aren't unintended consequences, as there were in that movie.
The car costs $30,000, sir. But we throw in the engine for free!
They promise to release it when winter comes to Game of Thrones.

I dream of starting a company that can innovate with new products. But I suspect the reality would be a nightmare of lawyers and hassles instead.
The day after Sony announces its VR project.

Would you still feel this way when Boston, DC or LA become a mushroom cloud
Thanks George W., but I'm going to pass on this war. Maybe in 20-30 years we can have another fun romp and kill some more innocent people.
1) The pick-up-a-rifle-or-STFU is a complete non-argument. We all have roles to play in a coherent society
And let me guess, your role is sitting back here and running your mouth at home while my son goes and dies in your noble war, right?
Because, unlike some pissy regional war, the corps are never going to let you fight a World War just on your national credit card.

It needn't produce any backlash. Let's just establish from the get-go that anything that contradicts my political beliefs is bad science.
If you think Putin is stopping at Crimea, you're a fucking moron.
"If you think Bush is stopping at Iraq, you're a fucking moron," said many a Russian citizen in 2003.
And what it Putin hadn't "turned a blind eye" to the illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003?
so we need to step up.
And by "we" you mean everyone else but you, right? Until YOU are ready to pick up a rifle and go fight in WWIII and pay high taxes to pay for the massive war you're proposing, then STFU.
