Actually, more Nazi references. They infamously supported the party up until war was declared. WWII commemorative reprints are rather hard to get for this reason.
Vista Home Basic is the new "developing countries" OS. Vista Starter is the version that's going to be given out essentially free to OEMs worldwide to avoid them shipping cheap PCs (netbook or not) with Linux. It'll be upgradable by the user from there to "full" Windows which is of course what MS expects everyone to do. MS has argued for a long time that Win7 is scalable and there's nothing except cost to stop OEMs providing it on Netbooks.
If you're worried about having to watch two overlapped versions of the movie when you go into the 3D version, just put on the glasses. You won't see the 3D but the filter will strip out one of the images, leaving you with a 2D version.
Then I noticed that it's an extract from a book and some attached material which almost certainly came from the publisher too, as part of the promo. Thereby bypassing the Daily Mail's staff entirely and "ensuring quality".
Actually, modern circularly polarising 3D is based on alternating frames, swapping clockwise and anti-clockwise polarisation with an (LCD?) filter in sync. It's something like 140fps.
No, shutter glasses are on the way out. That's why 3D's gone mainstream again, you can do a cheap pair of plastic or paper specs with a different polarising film in each side and sell them for two bucks extra per movie ticket, compared to the expensive and fragile shutter glasses. The circular polarisation is maintained upon reflection.
realize freedoms you claim the students don't have should not be granted by the system over the wishes of their parents
The system doesn't grant them those freedoms, they're supposed to be self-evident and innate. The only thing "the system" did is take away some of them. You can argue for censorship and the removal of freedoms, sure, but don't misrepresent the nature of the argument.
I have to wonder if that's part of the "immersiveness" of handheld camera shots. You're getting some extra depth information from the very slight change in the camera location.
I watched a fair amount of TV in the mid 1990s that used exaggerated parallax as part of a Pulfrich effect gimmick, mostly on specials but also an entirely cartoon series. You could watch it without the Pulfrich glasses and get a convincing sense of depth, but I don't think the motion sickness from constantly having the camera roaming (normally circling some object of interest) was worth it.
Depends on how it's used. I watched My Bloody Valentine, which is one of the few current live-action flicks in 3D, and as well as cute gimmicks* they made some surprisingly artistic use into-the-screen depth, which definitely gives you more of a sense of place and of space when done properly. There's quite a difference between peering down a dank passageway in 2D and 3D, at least. "Pop-out" effects made my head swim more often than not which sounds like the same problem you had.
*As far as gimmicks go, I'd love to see a dolly zoom in 3D.
Unfortunately Slashdot's content is reader-submitted, and it's a rather immature readership. Normally only the summaries are reader-submitted by, you know how it is, slow news day, might as well just pass off a comment as an article.
Let's not forget that the Google cache would provide a way around the filtering for every single website in its index, if Google's added as an exception. I wonder if it blocks archive.org.
Google redirects to other TLDs based on the user's location. If the filter runs through some proxy in the US it's entirely possible he was getting redirected to the block-list google.com from the allowed-list domain of google.fr or whatever. However seeing as the "story" is a one-para barely-there bug report I doubt we'll ever actually know.
I'd say that this is evidence of superpositions of distinct psychological states. That formalism works whether the underlying matter is involved in a superposition or not. It's a sort of software-hardware distinction.
That seems to be the point made in the article, i.e. "[t]his same mathematical formalism provides an explanation for interference of thoughts in human judgments". They're using the mathematics, not the physics.
I wonder, does this mean that every domain you visit is handed your Phorm opt-out cookie? Or would they be smart enough to strip it back out? I doubt there's a security hole there, but paying even a trivial security cost for zero user benefit sticks in my craw.
It is good to know that my privacy is actually importantto a powerful corporation for a change, even if it's for the wrong reasons. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but I'll take a temporary ally when I get one. So long as they don't push for some remedial action which will further disadvantage me (i.e. "users' browsing habits are trade secrets", which would block me from seeing my own browsing history, even under the FoIA).
You opt into Google's ad service by visiting a site using it, and can opt out by simply stopping them from creating the tracking cookies. You automatically opt into Phorm when you use the internet and can only opt out by setting a special "don't track me bro" cookie on each profile of each browser used by each device in your home. I think that's quite a distinction. Phorm assumes that any of your web activity is theirs to track unless you specifically tell them otherwise.
I believe it's called a "plasma taser", of all things. I last read about them half a decade ago, good to hear they made it to the market if only because the name's awesome.

Err, I mean "Win7 Home Basic" and "Win7 Starter".

Secret BT trials, at that. It took no end of pressure for BT to admit that they'd quietly implimented Phorm without actually telling anyone.
Given Thompson's track record, his petition was probably anything but peaceable. He killed someone's fax machine in one of his previous crusades.
