  1. Unknown unknowns on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of people don't have the drive and/or the means to actually go out and investigate places where there are alleged strange phenomenas (eg UFO flaps) occurring, or where strange land formations appear on google earth/maps (eg Antarctica). Until more people do and document what is there or not there, we will only have what looks like a crap artist production and hearsay.

    Don't get me wrong, I would love to go on an expedition in the Antarctic to investigate those mountains that kinda sorta look like pyramids and bring back proof that they are just mountains (or actual pyramids!). But I'm not rich, and I don't have easy access to the ship and aircraft (and people to sail/fly those for me) that I would undoubtedly need.

  19. Re:It's not just mobile VR on Mobile VR Is 'Coasting On Novelty', Says John Carmack (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the tech is ready, but generally the people writing the software don't yet have the experience and know-how to make a compelling VR environment. As soon as a VR gaming company puts out a game that everyone (including people who don't have VR hardware) wants to play, then VR will take off in a major mass-market way.

    About that statement...

    The technology is not exclusive to law enforcement and is increasingly popular right now for the management of large parking lots that are "for customers only".
