I'm not Bad Analogy Guy so I'll be a bit more literal: The point of Arduino is precisely that dumbed down programming environment, it brings the concept of basically making something computerised (to a point) to an a MUCH larger group of people than before. Right now there are tons of people out there doing things with these chips, making all kinds of little hacks and projects, that would ordinarily have thought "Hey what if I could do X? Oh, too complicated, what a damn shame" and are instead thinking "An arduino could probably do that".
Now for anyone that really does know coding and how to work chips and whatnot giving them an Arduino and making them use it "normally" is like giving them Duplos, but it's still Strictly Better for everyone to have these kinds of easily accessible solutions around for all the people that DON'T know that kind of thing. Sure a lot of them basically just sit there in easy-mode and never go any deeper but others will learn more in time, and just having it THERE makes the concept that much more ubiquitous.
Every time I hear stronger I think more or less the same thing but I also ask another question: "Are they saying that it's harder in which case is it more brittle or are they saying it's less brittle in which case is it too soft?"
Graphite is stacked layers of carbon. Graphene is just one of those layers. What's the "lead" in your pencil do in all those circumstances? The only real issues are going to be the normal ones with nanotech: How's it treat cells, does it irritate skin, are there problems with breathing it.
That groove isn't to let blood out, the flesh will tend to squeeze shut against the blade anyway, it's to increase the rigidity while lightening the weapon.
You can go search the steampowered forums and see there were a lot of threads about motion sickness in singleplayer, and as far as I know theres still a sticky about it telling people to change their FoV. Also while you could change the FoV it would automatically change back to 75 every time there was a map change or loading of some kind, much like how Bad Company 2's singleplayer resets the FoV everytime there's a cutscene or you quickload.
As for console games... yes afaik most of them default to a much narrower field of view that feels very zoomed in and... "forwards" compared to a PC game, almost as though your field of view was from a camera mounted on the end of the character's gun instead of dead center in the point of view rotation. My guess was always that they did that because console games tend to be played from much further away from the screen than PC games, and are also usually much simpler overall. One of the first things I noticed comparing the original CoD on console to the PC version was that a lot of difficult sections and ambushes on the console were easily visible and really quite easy on the PC because I could clearly see them coming and easily turn to react to it.
That would be Half-life 2's singleplayer campaign, which forced a console-like FoV of 75 instead of the more or less universal PC standard of 90. Interestingly all the multiplayer games on Source have defaulted to 90 like you'd expect for a PC game, leading to a lot of people to wonder why they were allergic to singleplayer until someone figured out that the FoV defaulted back to 75 every single load and level change.
Thank you for pointing that out because I read right through that without even realising just how fucked up that was. After seeing your response I had to go back and read it again a few times while my brain just kind of stared at it dumbly asking "Alright what am I looking at and what do you want me to do with this?"
Active Shooter means the person is actively seeking out people to kill and going for body count so the only real hope of resolving the situation is taking them down as soon as possible.
I think they went with "active shooter" because "homocidal maniac" as too long and "massacre" was just awkward.
That is the exact phone I have and compared to typing in any other app GV is extremely slow, I routinely out-type it and need to wait sometimes several seconds for it to catch up. Everything else works fine however, even the notorious dialer.
Alright. Say you want to do some shopping at the Exchange. You drive on base, your car gets searched. The analogy here is that instead of just searching just that car they also search your whole house, storage unit, and second car as well. And if they find anything you can't bring on base, or that they just don't like, you're fucked. Even IF it's actually perfectly fine where it is.
Flawed argument, in loco parentis != actual parentage. They have limited authority over what my kids do while they're in school custody. They don't have absolute authority over what my kids do even outside of school, especially not since that inherently contradicts my authority as a parent.
The thing is that smartphones by definition nowadays tend to be more of an access point to all their stuff at home. The best example is a teacher decides that a student may be doing something his parents are fine with but the teacher doesn't like so that teacher comes to the kids house, forces the kid to log into everything, and goes through everything from facebook to the kid's private files for something to expel or suspend the kid for.

Yep but the framerate sucks.

That about Denmark.
You mean like Denmark?
That's the Free Market, not George Washington, you ignorant obammunist!
Blood sugar levels != physical sugar present, doesn't quite work that way.
Cable, not signal. The amazon one looks like it's built a little better.

I don't right click and select "eject", I push the fucking eject button.

Alright, prove the unmanned radar gun was accurately reading my speed and not the guy next to me in the civic with the plywood spoiler.

Even on an 800mhz processor GV is cumbersome ON a smartphone, the app is extremely unresponsive compared to anything else I've used.
Maybe he's using a pentium.
