Don’t worry. There’s no point in occupying you. We already own you. And you already work for us. Just unlike keeping you as slaves, we don’t have to feed you or give you a place to sleep.
Same thing you did and still do with what you call the 3rd world.
That’s still not 3D. It’s just a 2D surface on a 3D ball. Like a globe.
3D is when it got an actual volume. Look up volumetric textures e.g. in OpenGL, used in medicine. The key thing that distinguishes them: You can cut the viewing volume at any plane, and see the insides. With being able to cut everything, I don’t ever see that coming. Except maybe for some novelty fully rendered movies. But if you only allow it to work like depth focusing, where everything else wil simply be out of focus, it will maybe come some day.
Still: If you can’t choose the focus with your eyes. it’s not 3D. (Focusing just is the third dimension of positioning.)
Not here. I guess your cinema had it badly configured or a bad system. Also don’t try to focus your eyes on something. Leave the focus in the same plane of depth (at the projection surface). Trying to focus on something different (which obviously does not work since it’s Stereo and no 3D), will give you headaches.
It was a bit blurry here too. But I did not get any headaches. The audience was not full of nerds. And since the security guys did not have to look in my backpack, we had more snacks and drinks that we could consume, for cheap.:)
So all in all: I had fun and thought it was worth it. ^^ Of course, if the movie would have had a good story, that would have been something different.:) But at least we got hot blue girls running nearly naked and barefoot trough the jungle. ^^
Theoretically: Yes. But you would obviously have to give up half the visual bandwith. Which is OK e.g. if your TV does 100 (or 120) Hz, as then every second frame could go to the other eye. Use synchronized glasses and be done.
A harder solution would be a foil that polarizes every second line of the screen differently. But getting it positioned properly would be a bitch.
And finally, you can go with the hardest to get working (would need a special device), and also most crappy solution: Color hints.;)
But nothing stops you from just ignoring the second video stream in that MPEG4 container.
What does that have to do with HTML? HTML is a semantic language. This would be CSS’s task.
But what you want is actually possible: 1. Write it like this: Because it’s <em style="reverb: large hall">IN THE THIRD DIMENSION!</em> 2. Write a Firefox extension that automatically scans the document for this, and does with it, what you think it should do. 3. Get it into the CSS3 or CSS4 draft, so the Firefox team has to implement it natively. ^^
That’s only you. To us it matters a lot. Sure, it does not replace anything else (like a good story), but it adds much. Maybe you only got one eye. Dunno. Are you a cyclops? Or is your name Leela?
The real reason this will never ever come to TV, is because by the time it would be implemented, there will be no TV anymore. I mean half of the people I know already don’t have or use a TV anymore. And when they do, they just skip channels, rant that there’s nothing on, and turn the TV off again.
3D can’t be ripped over the analog hole, it requires digital connections, which have DRM in them, or which allows them to push through new hardware... for about five days, when someone cracks that too, and sticks the thing in a MKV container.
That’s more of a C programmer’s disease. Because it came with next to no libraries. I mean, the environment is not even developed to a point where basic memory management has a sensible abstraction from hardware. (No, you don’t need to hand-roll that. You just need to think harder, on how to generalize that thing.)
Exactly my thoughts. In a working system, natural selection would have weeded the drooling retards who still don’t get it a looooong time ago.
Thank you political correctness, for ruling that the dumber and worse a person generally is, the more support it needs.. because we all want all of humanity to become like that... Yay.
I wish there were a predator that would specialize on dumb people, and that nobody could stop. Something like a second ice age... Oh wait... we’ve got nukes. And to re-heat it after the best have survived, we do massive global warming. It’s a perfect plan!;))
You mean those tube things? Sure you can. We always did it when we were children. Just pay attention that you don’t slip. Because then you will lose some teeth. Also always spread your legs so oncoming people can slide trough them.
So? You just keep a copy hidden from them, and air it anyway. What will they do when it already went on national television? Jail you, and draw the whole media upon them, until they are forced to release you? You could even send it in anonymously, stating that you are a TSA employee who got hold of the seized material and wanted the world to see it.
'India does value free speech and political speech. But they are weighing the harm of free speech against violence in their streets.'
That, of course, makes no sense. Since the violence on the streets is partially a direct result of a lack of free/political speech. Because that freedom would result in changes. And those changes would result in less bad things happening, because people would get more of what they actually want.
I wonder how hard it is, to become a citizen of Switzerland... (...to me it shouldn’t be that hard.:)
Uuum, don’t you get it. A completely free market IS a market that ends in monopolies. (Yes, theory says different. Because that theory is wrong.)
That’s free as in free of rules. Or in other words: The law of the jungle. The stongest man wins it all, in a landslide victory. And China is pretty strong in that they have that apparently very important supply in the Neodymium market.
P.S.: And that means, that democracy actually is the opposite of the “free market”. But don’t tell that to one of those nutjobs who praises both as it they were gifts from $deity, or his head might explode.;)
Get out of other nations’ business! Stop fighting fake wars! Meet them and listen. Listen good and listen long. Start at their mindset and work your way towards yours, without ever saying something that conflicts with their reality. (The trick is to give them hints that makes them feel that that idea is fitting inside their reality, and that they gain something [that’s second the key] with moving their mind in that direction. Then let them work out the re-wirings necessary for this to work.) If you are successful, you got a friend and an ally, who trusts and respects you (because in the end, you gave him something valuable), while living with his and your mindset in harmony.
Yes, it’s hard work. Yes, you have to be socially competent. Yes it takes time. But doing it right always is harder than botching up some sloppy job that falls apart five minutes later.
I tell you, if you start to get it right, it feels incredibly powerful. ^^
P.S.: No, I did not use that tactic for this comment, since I’m not talking to people (you) whose mindset needs changing.:)

Don’t forget being able to cut it with a arbitrary set of planes to an arbitrary shape, to see the inside.
Hmmm... what shape configuration do I need, to remove Jessica Alba’s clothes? ^^

Aaah, I always wondered, that if Galactica was an infinite loop, then how did it all start. NOW I know.
I wonder if Cylons crash on round date values. ;)
Epicycle? Sounds like a cool name for an EPIC bicycle.
The EPICycle WINNAR 9001! Now in stores!

Your logic is faulty. The amount / total mass the US needs, is not related to the relevance.
In fact them more rare something is, the more important it becomes. And faster too.
And neodymium is pretty rare.
Get out of other nations’ business!
Stop fighting fake wars!

And on top of that, artists get just as much ripped of and fucked, as we are. (Except for the really big names.)
Try to just wait it out. It usually does not crash, but hangs for a time. The first time, look for
(firefox:13640): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
in your ~/.xsession-errors log file.
After a minute or so, it works normally.
It always happens to me on Kongregate, with games that integrate their API.
Let me guess: It hid in plane site! ^^
