..however it fits PERFECTLY with their recent actions, so I REALLY DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT TO BE A MISTAKE.
like, first they make the fucking popup come up every 15 mins or so to get you to download the update, then they port some 'diagnosis'(presumably to diagnose why people are not installing windows 10) back to 7/8, then they move to downloading the update in background regardless.
THEN they start popping up the installer WITH ONE BUTTON.
would MS do such a mistake? I mean, this is the microsoft that has already for few years perverted their own UI standards to coax people into making choices they want the user to make rather than giving the user a clear choice to decline, there's ample examples of that behavior such as on new windows installation making screens that have a button element and another button that's a link element that _functionally_ both act as buttons - the one that is made to look not like a button however is the choice they don't want you to make - so it would fit perfectly with that UI shenigans to make on purpose a popup that had no cancel button on it since "hey if the user closes the dialog then that counts as a cancel, amirite???".
it's bullshit. and it's remarkable bullshit coming from a company that had nailed the easy to use window UI down 15 years ago already and should just have stuck with that and their own guidelines that they did with real science and real user studies that just were done to benefit the user, since that it has been downhill for them(really, win2k era was the pinnacle, then they started skinning and just doing cutesy shit and now even worse they started to 'guide' the user).
that's actually not that big or long time to been around.
the question I would pose would be.. would it be the same trouble to do it in C. it's just an interface that they're building so the rust code and C code are likely to be the same size and same complexity, heck they will be c externing the stuff for ruby anyways.
so go with C. unless you want a pilot project in the company done with rust..
no, it's actually pretty good for playing games while sitting at a desk or on a couch. the only problem with oculus devkit is the low resolution - if I had something with about 4x resolution, I would ditch monitors.
but I would not be walking around with it. and with hardcore gaming what I meant was this: you can't binge play with room size VR. you're not going to be strapped on and dangling around the room for 4 hours straight. you will not.
basically THAT is what valve should have quizzed about or just looked at their LOGS to see that the whole concept doesn't fit with who they're quizzing and who are their customers.
room size vr has other uses like training mechanics and such - but hardcore gaming is not the right target. just bring a GOOD display.
another use will of course be racing sims and such where it can replace the usual array of 3 monitors.. and be cheaper at that.
you should discount it, according to anything measurable that is not going to happen tomorrow or day after tomorrow. or maybe you don't discount the possibility of batman being a documentary either - but that would make you a loonie.
the butterfly is a favorite among simplicists who want to sound intelligent. the literal butterfly effect does not happen, a butterfly flying in china does NOT cause storms across the globe. a brain parasite in the head of a sub commander MIGHT cause a nuclear war though.. but that's not really what is commonly described as the butterfly effect.
why? you're going to fail around like an idiot for 8 hours+? you might just as well go out and play some real football or enlist in the army.
keyboard + mouse is a FINE control combo for vr headset gaming - you only change your monitor to be the display and you need LESS SPACE to play while enjoying the benefits of having a (potentially)360 degree display.
basically, I gave up giving Valve credit as the premier company in 'getting it' when it comes to vr headset gameplay when they released the vr patch for TF2 and it had WORSE control scheme than the unofficial half life 2 patch. basically the unofficial hl2(and other games) hack just tied the head controls to mouselook and added stereoscopic 3d and that was much much better to play with than any of the tf2 modes, which all separated aiming from the view for some reason and that makes you less effective fps player and frankly sucks, because in fps games you quite often need to look up and down and if you always need to do that by tilting your head up and down you will get bored and get a sore neck - and if in order to shoot UP you need to both move the aim to UP and look physically UP then that sucks big time!
so in essence, just use the display for display and KEEP THE FRIGGING MOUSELOOK on mouse!
I don't think you quite understand the complexities of for example doing business in Russia.
All the rules and politics you need to follow are NOT decided in the Duma. Then there's the written laws, then there's the actual line that is decided by courts, then there's the line observed by coppers. all of these things are known to change on a whim. Land leases can change on a whim of a local politician. Contracts with local government branches can be meaningless.
So they all the things you need to obey are in fact not laws and sometimes you need to work against the laws to be allowed to work a business. it's very counter productive in the long run. Putin doesn't really give a crap about the laws, he cares about power(and is already deep enough that he can't let it go even if it was lawfully the right thing to do, by the laws that you say apply to people within russia..)
it's actually very easy, since if you have a real restricted area then you restrict the entry to that area and you put the cameras there to record which vehicles go in and out. it's shit easy. if you don't bother marking off the restricted area and have no control of who enters and leaves then.. uh.. if you after that just try to security guard kidnap people they might get agitated.
you don't really need to stand 2 feet from the bumper to read the plates.
also i'm pretty sure they have hd cams there.
also, wtf kind of factory area is it if they can just drive in to the are that they would be tresspassing in, that would make it ok to break the window and cut the seatbelt? while they were getting IN to the restricted area their license plate would have gone past a camera meant to record license plates. if it wasn't a cordoned off area then they had little basis on calling it restricted in the first place - fencing is cheap and its the first thing you put up anyways.
I would think that they would have gotten out of the car once the sheriff arrived. I find it far more likely that the backing up incident occurred due to them being scared - and them trying to block the car from moving rather than 'record the license plate'. it just sounds like bullshit. a visual id of the license plate and _any_ picture of the car would have been enough to give to the coppers anyways.
also, i know i don't usually bother with perfect english but i'm pretty sure soon is not a verb. pretty sure the failed professional security in this case was working on their first case ever and frankly weren't too much of actual professionals.
well the author is implying that bosch did the scandal and vw was unaware(comparison to vw is made and then if you replace sensor manufacturer with 'bosch' and user of said 'sensor' with VW.
bullcrap of course.
so maybe its something designed to shift the blame game away from vw. or just something stupid to fill the article quota for some poor schlob.
I once received a first gen xbox for free, back when it was worth something. it had the wrong voltage psu. I ordered a replacement but it didn't work, for some reason.
so.. some splicing and with a spare atx psu later it was up and running in a jiffy. wouldn't fit in the case anymore of course.
oh and I used a cardboard box as a pc case too, why not.
and soldered power in wires to a laptop that had a broken charger port, because why not.
american v8's from late 70's to 80's are both fuel guzzling AND badly performing.
and the modern system is actually a lot SIMPLER to tune. if you want to pay for it you can get a custom ecu map in a day.
you make it sound like the carburetor is easy to get right. it's not. a fuel injection system is much more straightforward to setup. had you an aftermarket fuel injection system you would get your project tuned far better.
it would have been a sound plan IF and only IF they had a working spaceship.
it's puzzling why they would spend hundreds of millions on a spaceport before having the final ship. like, the biggest costs would be the facilities to support the ship anyways so what's the point in building those facilities before you know what ship you have to support? hotels and such they could build in months.
the whole thing is stupid though. they should just have bought some u2's and do flights with them. practically the same effect with cheaper proven technology.
furthermore the sub orbital jumps are nothing about going to space and don't really seem to even further private space ventures as such. coupled with the fact that if high jump high speed supersonic transportation comes in the next 20 years the whole concept is going to be obsolete as you would essentially get the same experience from that while actually traveling somewhere..
yeah it's there, so what? it's not a secret, it's not meant to be a secret. the documents detailing your health as you were born are supposed to be confidential, not the fact that you were born with a dick.
and there's countries that have citizens who have lived for generations there but don't have any id, number or even official citizenship to act as a citizen and without the usual human rights to boot.
I don't see what's so great about that.
having an unique to you social security number is handy. it doesn't need to be a secret, when you use it your id is verified by other means - just trusting a string of numbers that stays the SAME through your whole life and is given to countless officials staying secret is so fucking stupid to begin with that it's just a present for ID thieves.
and really, you don't even give it away that often(the ssn in nordic countries).
"your employer, your insurer, your financial institution, and the government. " and for that reason also your operator, cable provider, random cc providers...
it's not a secret. shouldn't be treated like a secret. it's just an identifier. but oh well a nation that treats 40 year old paper as proof that you're some 40 year old dude..
since "re-routing" basically in the case of HP _should_ mean that someone they made a contract with to deliver the servers on time didn't get them on time.
otherwise it would just be "sold as normal" instead of "re-routing".
no, he's pretty much claiming that he'll have new battery tech that will turn 300 into 600+ DURING NEXT YEAR.
pretty sure he's just talking out of his ass on that one though - or he is going to introduce a model that has the backseat and luggage areas filled with the batteries.
the benches are done on different versions of the benchmark on different gpu's and different screens and glue logic and different compilers, ram chips etc.
and on different operating systems. furthermore with ample time to "optimize" for the test case.
it's an ok chip, sure.. and it might be faster than whats on the cheapest macbook air but that's only because the cheapest macbook air has SHIT FOR CPU inside it.
who cares about the bloatware. the bloatware would be th same as the last ios device too. and sure enough your new ios update will make your older apple device slower so there's that..
Slashdot Mirror
ah but mp's make the laws about how the spies are supposed to operate, which is why they weren't supposed to be spying on the mp's.
now it makes gchq the ruling class.
..however it fits PERFECTLY with their recent actions, so I REALLY DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT TO BE A MISTAKE.

it's bullshit.
walking simulators are more artsy than say fallout 3 or 4.
why? they have only an artistic purpose and not an entertaining or storytelling or anything. basically they're nothing else than art.
not skillful or interesting art but they damn sure aren't games.
anyways, money talks bullshit walks
vr is not going to smash into hardcore gaming.
why? you're going to fail around like an idiot for 8 hours+? you might just as well go out and play some real football or enlist in the army.

well usa sure wants bygones be bygones with the people of one south east asian mainly christian country so why not.
besides if they apply 'surveillance' just to muslims it's only going to burn a lot of surveillance money on useless surveillance.
thats the real question.
how is your "open" thing more open than a pc with bunch of network cards?
this sounds just like a slashvertisement, probably because it is. "would you buy our product?"
it's actually very easy, since if you have a real restricted area then you restrict the entry to that area and you put the cameras there to record which vehicles go in and out. it's shit easy. if you don't bother marking off the restricted area and have no control of who enters and leaves then.. uh.. if you after that just try to security guard kidnap people they might get agitated.

well quite simply you wouldn't be allowed to open it in gimp, photoshop or similar.

otherwise it would just be "sold as normal" instead of "re-routing".
yeah because flooding the whole of the globe and then putting in contradicting evidence in the earth is totally hands off.
it's not predetermined. that would mean that you had no choice in your voting.
the real problem is your shitty two party system to begin with.
no, he's pretty much claiming that he'll have new battery tech that will turn 300 into 600+ DURING NEXT YEAR.
pretty sure he's just talking out of his ass on that one though - or he is going to introduce a model that has the backseat and luggage areas filled with the batteries.
there's quite a lot less of designing a licensed arm soc than designing a cpu from scratch.
most of it is licensed just straight up.
the real magic is getting it actually manufactured after that.
uhh..
the benches are done on different versions of the benchmark on different gpu's and different screens and glue logic and different compilers, ram chips etc.
and on different operating systems. furthermore with ample time to "optimize" for the test case.
it's an ok chip, sure.. and it might be faster than whats on the cheapest macbook air but that's only because the cheapest macbook air has SHIT FOR CPU inside it.
