I have no use at all for 3D movies, and wasn't really interested in shelling out the extra for a 3D. However, if it does become a fairly standard thing in the future, I could still see a good use for it with games, etc.
A 4k monitor with 3d games support could be interesting, indeed.
I don't understand what logic makes the "business owner" liable at all. Obviously the patent itself is crap, but if anyone should be a target it would be those that made the printers with the "infringing" feature.
Yeah, I've had plenty of issues with the "nouveau" driver not playing nice with various nVidia cards. Using the binary driver works fine, but when you're booting a liveCD and/or doing an install, you may be stuck with the sometimes-flakey nouveau driver.
The problem is that your LiveCD is also trying to both be a usable environment (with all the acceleration etc) as well as an installation environment accessible via the desktop icon.
To be noob-friendly, a better way might be to have the "installation mode" accessible via the boot menu, and have it go directly to the installer in a basic X with something like just VESA video, as most non-power-users aren't going to know to add "nouveau.modeset=0" into the boot params.
Yes, and in those cases I doubt that such people will be overly concerned if they need to go through the extra "captcha" step to prove they are human and not an automated system
I'd imagine there are some pretty good reasons for that, mainly people trying to "anonymously" post searches or other things to skew metrics in their favor.
And how do you switch to another cellular provider without incurring penalties? Actually, I'm wondering if this could be used as a basis for terminating contracts. I'd love to dump my provider (Virgin, a subsidiary of Bell) if I could due to this bullshit.
I've heard that when services are greatly changed the ability to terminate a contract is possible. Anyone know if this counts?
But in general boycott U.S. products/infrastructure. Much like how the U.S. is supposedly avoiding Huawei, other countries will avoid U.S. hosting, and quite possibly technical equipment as alternatives become available (not to mention, working on their own alternatives). It's probably a good push for Linux/BSD/etc adoption too.
The big thing is, there is *NO* going back now. Even if they the NSA et al ceased all the spying and backdoor crap today, nobody would believe them due to the terrible track-record of lies and false promises.
Hmmm... so reddening of my hair is just a step towards turning white/grey. This is one of those cases where I would rather have been wrong, but at that's some pretty good info regardless.
Who knows, one might be related to another - or at least come up research results pertinent to another - especially when you start talking about things like cell growth, etc.
I'd always heard rumour that a particularly popular libedo-enhancing product was the result of a side-effect in researching other blood-flow related topics (instant-tan or something like that)?
When my goatee started reddening then a few odd white hairs started showing up shortly after. I've always assumed that the reddening was an intermediary to color-loss. Anyone know enough about hair follicles to comment?
I shaved my head down once, and it looked *terrible*, especially compared to when I just kept my hair long. Not everyone has a nice clean shiny skull to show off. Some of us have scars, discolorations/birthmarks, that can be nicely covered up with a full (or even partial) head of hair. Add to that various things that are more likely to show up with a shaved head and too much sun (such as said discolorations, or even melanoma) and there are plenty of reasons to keep ones hair beyond simple vanity.
This does not, however, prevent others from packing the.deb and putting up a repository that you can add to your apt config (or just download/install the.deb for that matter).
Or just chasing the specs that are most useful to people (given the primary purpose of the device).
Fast 3d rendering isn't going to be all that useful if your phone runs out of battery partway through the day. Power is important, but efficiency moreso
I never pull the card, but I've got one in mine. It's the built-in-only crap that lets companies get away with things like charging over $100 for adding a few gig of storage, and then advertising the 8GB model with the ** at the end stating "base model price" or whatever
The US Gov't would like to think this, but in truth it will cause damage, just not immediately. As more and more U.S. invasiveness in media and communications is seen, countries and non-domestic corps are slowly moving away from related U.S. products. Over time, this will cost money to the U.S. economy.
I used to agree, but I've seen some decent sales recently from Origin stuff. BF3 had some steep discounts recently including being on a Humble Bundle. I've also seen sales on places like GamersGate etc but it's a bit irritating when you're getting bombared with e-sales newsletters from 3-4 different companies that are actually just selling discounted Steam/Origin keys.
Steam itself seems much better at providing regular sales, but the big thing is they have a much larger catalogue. I (and most people I know) only bother to fire up Origin when I'm playing an Origin game - generally at LAN parties - so it's easy to miss their short-lived sales. Steam has an advantage where more games=more logins=more eyeballs on the store.
Eh? Maybe new on something for a polygon-based 3d game, but destructible windows/objects/walls were pretty common back in the Duke3d etc era (obviously a bit different from a design perspective for poly-based games, but still not bad).
Sure, these days they're dying slightly less pointless deaths, but the "token X guy" (generally black, but certainly not white) still seems to exist in a lot of movies. The last one that got me was X-Men Origins. Who's the first "newbie" mutant to bike it (for the team, of course), but Darwin, the single black guy.
I have a hard time believing that this sort of crap is just coincidental, and I'm white. Until being a "minority" actor in a AAA-1 movie isn't a bit part or the equivalent to a sci-fi red shirt, I doubt that a few extra filters and a "cleaner" picture are going to help much.
I've worked at places that did "forums" etc that did mail-outs. They would actually be fairly respectful of opt-outs, one of the main reasons being that if they didn't they end up being greylisted/blacklisted with gmail, hotmail, etc and then suddenly a bunch of mail doesn't get out at all.
Obviously not going to work for viagra-spammers, but I don't see many of those with opt-outs. Then again I don't see much spam at all in my gmail etc (except, in the spam bin, but I almost never need to look there).
Stupid shit such as "big nose" is a step aware from consistent and perpetual attacks, exclusion, isolation, and other mental tactics. I've been on both ends of it and - you know what - unless you're actually getting broken bones - which is less common and more often *will* lead to police involvement - the physical stuff heals. In fact, it's sometimes easier to deal with because the quick solution is usually to deal back some physical pain.
Bullying these days covers a lot of ground. There's teasing: bugging somebody because he/she came to school in mismatched socks, or had a funny haircut, or whatever. Then there's harassment: a more systematic attack. Usually on multiple fronts, and bullies are actively seeking out the victim Then there's tormenting: It often involves both physical and mental attacks, is consistent, constant, and tends to revolve around a central attacker but spread among many. Again the "bullies" (attackers) will seek out the victim until he/she feels trapped with nowhere to go. Exclusion completes this.
So in the end scenario, it's not just somebody calling you "big nose." It's having multiple persons attacking every feature possible. It's feeling self-conscious every day that you're going to come up with another fault, resulting in a plummeting self-image. It's feeling afraid of when the next attack is coming, and not having any peers to connect or take refuge with. It's losing any friends you have because they're afraid of harassment by association (often they will being to harass you themselves to dissolve any connections). It's a *serious* f'ing issue, and way beyond just a little teasing. Counsel to suicide is usually and end-state to this, where the victim feels that's the only way out. In the charges for this case, it's not just *teasing*, it's pretty much stalking and seems rather firmly in the third category. Telling somebody "go jump off a bridge" by itself isn't a felony, but criminal harassment is.
I would argue that a 2-yr-old isn't a sociopath but may share some basic tendencies with such due to a lack of personal/mental development, but more to the issue at hand...
What *should* be the reaction to this death? Looking at many such cases, a common response from a normal reasonable human being would be shock, sadness, maybe guilt depending on one's association with the deceased. This girl doesn't seem to show any of these. In fact, she's showing smug satisfaction. It definitely feels like there's some mental/emotional gears missing in that one.

I'm fairly sure those exist already. Probably a combination of Homeland Security and the divisions of the NSA.

So that's what happened to Facebook this morning. I always suspected it was full of creepers...
