Outsourcing CAD (drafters) work only to be reviewed by a select few managers. The savings would more than make up for the hardware. Just think about it, they don't have to pay them benefits. Hiring and firing is just a mouse-click away. NEXT!!!
Well, it could certainly start out that way at first. No doubt in my mind that it wouldn't escalate higher. It would be a tit for tat situation where we cripple the other side of equal hurt. Before you know it, entire cities are excavated with giant craters. Regardless of how and where it starts, get the hell out of dodge and head for non-populated areas. If your smart (and paranoid depending on POV), you will have a bug-out bag ready to grab-n-go.
I live outside of Houston and work inside the 610 loop. I'm very much a target as any other major city on this planet. I don't think many people are fond of nuclear weapons being used anywhere. When living in a major populated city, you're a target whether you like it or not.
Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough while in Shanghai, but I didn't see one game console that I recognized. I did see a lot of cheap Chinese knockoffs and other pirated look-a-like crap however. The real McCoy just wasn't there.
Probably because in SciFi, suspended animation connotes a near infinite amount of time. Say, for those very long durations of space flight. With the preservation and resuscitation, time is still limited.
Basically, you use VirusTotal when you're unsure of a potential infection or outbreak. This site is basically a giant filter that runs the file against multiple engines and provides a score. I've seen a new outbreak where my AV didn't catch it, but 1/4th of the scanners at VirusTotal did. It was obviously so new that not all of the AV vendors had time to catch up yet within the 12 hour window or less. It happens; quite common in fact.
That would be par for the course as far as the cell phone industry is concerned. But assuming they would do exactly that, I can only imagine a transitional window of a few months to year/s before they cut off the old method. That means that unless you've downloaded the update yourself, phone "root-ers" could be left high and dry without service. After all, they don't support rooted phones anyways unless you're willing to go back to the stock standard OS/config.
Brazil is also located in the tropics where as the US is not. You have the advantage of both the sun and copious amounts of rain. Both of which make it advantageous to grow sugar cane. In a roundabout way, your ethanol industry is nothing more than a transportable form of solar energy (with conversion losses).
Those fuckers will vote before my wife does. She came over on a K1 visa and holds a residence green card. Had she came through the Mexican border and dropped an anchor baby, she would be set to a path of citizenship no doubt.
Remember, illegal aliens are the largest potential voting block. It's why Democrats and Republicans are actively courting them. In fact, Obama just effectively pardoned 36,000 Hispanic criminals this month with a jail release.
The whole point of performing an operation in hardware is that it often draws less power then if processing the function as a general app. You know this, so why would you favor a software solution at the expense of less battery run-time? Certain CODECs are and should be hosted on their own custom ASIC if it's not worth sacrificing precious CPU die space.
You think that's bad?! Trying working in tech support / system administration as a career. I'm also a self sufficient DIY guy ranging from automotive to home improvement. Basically, a high-tech handyman of sorts. If I'm having to call tech support, I can guaran-damn tell you that I will be blowing past tier 1 (of not 2) support to get my issue resolved. The FAQ (while I'll still read it) is fucking worthless when it's all said and done. This hold true for other things involving needing to speak with a banker or agent in resolving a wonky situation regarding my airline reservation.
While I may be socially inept, I'm an intelligent analytical thinking whom needs to talk with others for an intelligent answer. I'm sorry if that comes across as arrogant for some of you, but there's no denying my legitimate plight! OTOH maybe I'm not so smart after all, rather the world has become more stupid with time.
The latest version of the Oculus runs at 1920×1080. Because the single display is split for each eye, that effectively makes it 960x1080 regardless if the source material is stereoscopic or not. BTW, the lenses reshape the image which is further prospective corrected in software to counter the image distortion. Now go take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3; notice the physical dimensions look similar? It too has a native resolution of 1920x1080 that's OLED. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same LCD panel in fact. That, or from LG or Sharp.
Basically, the Oculus and devices like it are rather useless if the resolution isn't high enough because of its large FOV. Even the first generation Oculus suffered from a "screen door" effect due to the spacing between pixels.
If you watched the review, Linus conceded this fact. What he's sold on is the idea of a bezel-less wide screen viewing experience. Also, the native resolution is just right so as to not need to be driven by high-end graphic cards for gaming and tiny fonts for text reading.
Modern Intel CPUs do accelerate AES, H.264, MPEG2, and VC-1 in hardware (AES-NI and Quick Sync Video respectively) already. So we know that it's trivial to place CODECs instructions on the die. My only question is this: Do modern Android and iPhones have CPUS with these CODECs instructions already? If the answer is no, then it will happen in the next generation or two of phones. That much is a given. The battery hit is just too much for them to ignore this.
I have a shared 3GB month data cap (family plan), but unlimited voice with Verizon. Are you saying that by virtue of making this change, my contract is by default null-and-void?! Wow, I'd love to see the backlash from that hammer!!!
Oh, there will be a joystick renaissance thanks to Chris Roberts. In a few more days, Star Citizen will have reached 45 MILLION pumped in by fans alone! Think Battle Star Gallactica newtonian physics in flight and battle.
That half the problem. The other is driver support to map the keys, or so I would think. You can rebuild an old XP box and play those games again; but using that device on a newer game that no doubt will require Windows 7 on up?? Who knows...
Maintaining HD content over a 5Mb/s DSL connection was sketchy at best. A solid connection I might add. Often a movie would have to buffer at least three times in session. No packet loss with a continuous ping from another workstation in that period. Yup, full HD pushing the envelope; or trying to at any rate.
Being that VR existed long before 1999, I doubt they can claim ownership of VR as an abstract concept. Now if they can prove source code and/or designs were rehashed by Carmack, now that's another story from what I can tell.
I disagree. Two things really make VR possible today; the accelerometer, and screen technology. Everything else is trivial hardware and software. Had those two technologies been around 20 years ago, we would still be enjoying awesome fluid VR frame rates with flat shaded polygons. While that experience wouldn't mimic reality, it would be a whole other realm worthy of its own experience.

Netflix doesn't take more than a few hundred kbps per stream
Bullshit it doesn't.

And now that Fuckbook owns them, two things will happen. They will just settle with Zenimax, or bury them.
Does anyone know if/when there will be an injunction to prevent the Oculus from being developed further or sold as dev kits?
