I remember using one of the first 3D shutter-glasses system with an old 3Dfx graphic card. One of the demo had that "out of the screen" effect and not only did it look like crap, trying to focus on objects in front of my screen just gave me a headache pretty fast.
The demos that tried to add depth to my screen, however, were really amazing. I seem to recall playing Quake 1 in 3D with only in-screen depth and it completely changed the game (in a good way).
When you go see a movie, the action takes places on the damn screen. If things start coming out of it, it's just stupid. You can't have the movie happening inside the theater. But if you use 3D to make the screen have depth, there is still that needed disconnection with the movie vs the theater yet you gain a perceived dimension for the movie itself.
As soon as they stop doing "out-of-screen 3D", we'll be better off.

Still think 60GB is enough?
The problem here is that Bell, Rogers, Videotron and Cogeco are all content providers on top of being internet providers. Things like iTunes and Netflix are competitors to their content services, so they try to lower their internet services to screw their competitors instead of upping their content provider game. It's all backwards and proof that the CRTC isn't doing its damn job.
Read your contract. They clearly specify that you can't run home servers of any kind (even Web and Email). Just because they don't enforce it now doesn't mean they won't in the future.
You're right that the average user might not need 600GB per month, however with things like iTunes rentals and Netflix, 60GB is way too low. This is Bell's attempts at using their monopoly (there's practically no region where Bell, Rogers, Videotron and Cogeco are in competition with each other) to block competitors (currently iTunes and Netflix) to their own TV services (Bell Expressvu).

Safari doesn't display anything. I see the problem. Same problem as their website.

There's nothing after "finger tapping on a tiny screen."
What link below? There's only a link to 8pen's website.
The problem is that the daylight saving dates changed a few years ago. All those gadgets that can't do a firmware updates are helpless.
Old Man Withers!
Let me guess: yet another stupid programmer who decided that "french language means France"?

How about doing a ZIP or RAR but per folder instead of one huge chunk? It would require less bandwidth to download only the part(s) you want.
Dark Helmet? Is that you?
People are stupid and the law uses that against them. News at 11.
Really? I don't recall Slashdot having CPU-killing dynamic comments 10 years ago.

Just FYI, there's no such thing as Hulu in Canada.
For going over his monthly download cap.
Computers use base 2, humans use base 10.
What's a .tta file?
Shouldn't the files be in folders, meaning you can already at least target a single website?
Do you hate your neighbor? Are you prepared to pay his bill if he ever finds out?
Maybe, but some morons keep putting a single RAR or ZIP file inside their torrent...
If you think a 250GB monthly cap is bad, don't even read about the ones in Canada.
It will? Yeah! We're going to win!
Then they only get four or five 14" pepperoni pizzas instead of six.
Population, United States = 307,006,550 - Jul 2009
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division
10 billion divided by 307,006,550 people = 32.57$USD per person.
Little Caesars 14" Large Pepperoni Pizza = 5.00$USD.
This means six 14" pepperoni pizzas per person, including children.
You don't have to add a significant figure or two, Murdoch5's numbers were already insulting enough.
