This is government. The need for 250 will cause them to make an order for 30,000 displays to cover replacements and to cover defective ones which, for some reason, it accepts broken out of he box.
They will cost $3,000 each due to the extra chemically resistant screen that can handle vicious spraypaint removal sprays. Still, 1 of 3 will be broken by a worker trying to chip off the paint, the other two of three are already broken as I type this.
They're attacking Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG?
That content isn't even released, yet!
I swear to fucking god, if these assholes get between me and a deep, meaningful, physical relationship between my female bounty hunter and Mako, in our Leia slave girl outfits, there's gonna be trouble! >:-(
The same frauds are making the same claims in the same ways for 50 years. They are physical scientists who don't understand economics, with new technology and substitutes leading to ever-increasing quality and length of life -- sans goverment intervention.
Theodore Roosevelt decried the coming "timber crisis" because rotting railroad ties would soon consume all lumber production at current replacement rates. Then someone invented using creosote coatings.
Yes, you can predict this will happen. That is Julian Simon's theory, used to make predictions which come true over and over and over again. Said computer models don't include millions of scientists and engineers in a free society working to satisfy mass wants for profits, which call into existence new tech all the time. This is just the latest in sub-sentient drooling idiocy, disproven again and again and again.
"Ok. Aside from our iPhones, iPads, Androids, YouTube, high-speed wireless to watch YouTube, light, cheap aluminum for our tent poles and backpacks, MRI machines for our broken noses, and worldwide jet travel that supplied how to cook mutter paneer and sushi on the same Sterno..."
"And the Sterno!"
""And the Sterno. Aside from that, what has capitalism done for us?"
I don't even know if you need to go that far. IANAPL but the patent seems to shoot itself in the foot, both by claiming people already do floating point rasterization in software, and by pointing out how the industry is waiting with bated breath for chip prices to come down enough for hw floating point rasterization.
Hence isn't that an obvious next step for someone "knowledgeable in the field" or however that is phrased?

When Dr. Laura's nudie photos of her college days came out, her lawyers simultaneously claimed it wasn't her and that she owned the copyright on them.
When asked how this could be, the lawyers shrugged and laughed and pointed out that good lawyers just cover all the bases.
Why they didn't lose their licenses for provably lying, I don't know.
One could argue socialism is just a memetic narrative justification in the mind that engenders actual, real-world behavior to spread itself, including forcing itself on people through "oooh, democratic legislation!"
It doesn't have to wear a black hat and twist its mustache while heaving a girl onto the railroad tracks to have a net effect of evil, in an ever-ratcheting, bloated obesity of an existence sitting atop the shoulders of people trying to move society forward.
Ummm, no, you don't necessarily know if a link is one you've visited already. That's why the purplization is useful to many people. You only know after you've clicked it a lot of the time. Massive, munged links to particular stories on sites like CNN, you could very well not know -- and some sites don't use any human-understandable words in those links anyway.
As for the style sheet, tough shit. I like the purple links telling me I've clicked it already. Somebody's lost the whole concept behind a linked hypersystem if they think some dork's color preferences should win out over the larger-scale picture of the purpose of hyperlinking. The only issue is when background colors might make the purple links hard to see, but again, a good browser should compensate for that anyway.
Now consider the Dallas Airport baggage-handling fiasco, and consider it writ large across the nation -- hundreds of billions just to start, paid by taxes via government to contractors with no interest in finishing quickly or well.
If it's so profitable, use the government to open up arteries via eminent domain, but otherwise let the private sector build it.
All Netflix has to do is, in their video player, when it stutters, put up a screen saying, "The reason you cannot see this smoothly without waiting for it to mostly download is because Comcast is throttling your bandwidth. Here's the Comcast phone number you can call to let them know your displeasure."
Gov. Steve Beshear said he does not believe the incentives would violate the principle of church-state separation because the 14-year-old tax incentives law wasn’t approved for the purpose of benefiting the Ark Encounter.
Neither the linked wiki to the layman's explanation, nor the "detailed" one explain it the way I think I understand it.
As you cannot know momentum and position simultaneously with great accuracy (I think it's those two anyway), when you cool these down to near absolute zero, you know their momentum very accurately, which is almost zero. Hence their positional accuracy skyrockets into fuzziness.
Can someone please clean this up for me so I can understand it better?
They probably have to sue the girl to get at the parents and their money or insurance.
My grandma was t-boned at an intersection by someone who ran a red light. The real estate lady riding with her got a punctured lung and had to sue my grandma in order to get at the other people. Not sure why.
Oh wait, I just read the article. The judge is an idiot.
At the risk of a downmod, I'd say they are -- taking it anyway, FWIW. I've always maintained 99% of the whining here, claiming backups and whatnot are impinged, are just facade for people not wanting to have problems trading around.mp3s. And now, movies.
Ahh, Starsiege Tribes. The heavy, grab the porta-ammo thing, and mortar jump my ass way up to the top of the tower, plant the thing, equip the healer, then equip the long-range mortar gun again. Peg light armor jumpyloos at extreme range. Nothing like an 8s lob timed to meet a high-speed guy moving across the range.
Other times, plant turrets up the wazoo an wait for a doof to wander into it. Those were the good old days.

Back when they showed your Karma, I got pegged high at 50, then got modslammed down to -20. Never found out why, though I suspect it had something to do with a.sig bleating about the true evil that is anal bleaching. I took it as a challenge to crawl back up, which I rapidly did.

Where is the clip-on version that works with already-existing glasses?
Idiots! You know, glasses, which 99% of nerds, your early adopters with the cash to do so, wear?

Well, there was that audio engineer who claimed percentages of likelihood the tape was each person.
And got mercilessly shredded on skeptic and tech fora.

I thought people were afraid of being recognized by police using the archives.
Turns out they're arguing over whether to call themselves the Judean People's Front or the People's Front of Judea.
Here's a challenge for the parser:
Fuck you!
Blow me!
Eat my ass!

I'll say!
Apparently the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery is 480p. :-/

What if you open a non-incognito (cognito?) window? Will it purple links you are currently viewing in your incognito window?
BTW, I'm pretty sure Pandora does this, too.
