Shame that all those of us with a decent set of eyes will have to suffer the same laggy, blurry nausea inducing inferior display technology only now it's wrapped in a tougher shell. At least I can finally go back to cleaning it normally.
Whatever happened to a mere 22" doing 2048x1536 @85hz with no lag? What happened to the days when anything over 17" could do resolutions that left that 1080P bullshit in the dust?
It's a CIVIL matter for underage children, who MUST go to school and MUST use those laptops, to be spied on wherever or whenever the administration wants?
Imprecision is our main advantage. If you want a computer to fold proteins you either need to program every rule and every thing it will encounter into it or give the computer some sort of guideline-laws that let it figure out things based on their objective properties (probably much more difficult to code and expensive to run).
With a human you just create a UI that doesn't let them do anything impossible and lets them physically manipulate the protein as though it were a physical object with transformers style joints and you get the same result with a lot less computational power, all you really need is to just program in the basic rules of how a thing can and can't fold.
I'm not talking about graphics, I'm talking about GAMEPLAY. And ArmA is the single worst offender for that genre of bullshit to the point where I say people who have the delusion that it's "real" to have soldiers incapable of controlling recoil, jogging (slowly) more than a dozen meters, firing with any kind of consistent accuracy, or really displaying any kind of physical prowess beyond what you'd expect from an overweight middle aged arthritic gym teacher with parkinsons must have "ArmA Delusion Syndrome".
I don't think he did considering that the bad guys weren't "Russians" but a group of "ultra-nationalists" that you fought with the aid of the rest of the Russians.
Shame that Project Reality is not remotely realistic and falls into the trap of portraying player characters as though soldiers were all 90 year old alzheimers patients with parkinsons and horrible arthritis that left their glasses at home...
You mean like Ritual did with SiN: Emergence? The answer is you're fucked end of story, hope someone cracked the game for when the Auth servers go down.
Personally I'm reading this and wondering if the guy is really THAT DENSE that he doesn't get that this sort of thing is one of the major motivations of politically motivated pirates, or whether this is a deliberate move to piss those guys off even more and then have even more excuses to bitch bout piracy and screw the end user out of their rights even further.
You can't take a picture of a hole in the ozone with a visible spectrum camera. You can take a picture of a seemingly endless field of garbage floating in the middle of the open ocean. In fact you can take many pictures, and from the air too showing just how big it is.
Actually one might say that such a physical thing is exactly the sort of thing that works well for pictures.
Seconding this. If this thing is THAT BIG and horrific then why is it that there are as near as I can tell no pictures of it whatsoever? Everything I've seen is either an example from some lake or harbor or something similar.
Why is it that of all the people tht must have seen this there isn't so much as a simple picture of garbage going out to the horizon? Why is every picture extremely zoomed in and narrow, or obviously not of this specific garbage patch?
Someone somewhere must have at least taken a CELLPHONE picture ffs. How can something supposedly this astounding be so utterly undocumented?
That's because that's only half the quote. The original is: "On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other". It is further elaborated later on that information also primarily wants to be free as in SPEECH even if the pull to be expensive is winning.
Yes but that would require congress to do something and they have no reason to betray the people giving them enormous bags of money on a regular basis, especially since they can just gerrymander elections into doing what they want.
Maybe it's because I'm not a musician but claiming copyright on sheet music seems to me like trying to claim copyright on the definition of a product, so that nobody can even know what that product IS before buying it.

You can have a $100 set of adjustable glasses or you can have one guy with this app and a box full of $2 perscription glasses that he can then match to everybody in line.
Take it up with the comment system forcing me to wait 50 seconds at a time multiple times in a row. I'll be over here still wondering why the hell it insists on completely hiding posts so that I need to find a childpost and click "parent" to even see it EXISTED even though I have NO filtering enabled.

SED was basically a CRT with something smaller than a linear tube.

No sir I believe he was fucking the fleshlight.
Imagine a Pentium Quadcore to an equally clocked Core 2 Duo. Even at equal clockspeeds the C2D has superior design.
