I'm a gamedev, we have Vive at work. Haven't got the latest Oculus, only devkit #2. But I'd go with Vive for sure, just because of the moving around thing and the controllers you get with it. It is paramount. The ability to move around and interact with things in the VR world is plain simply amazing.
Sony will also be releasing a VR headset for PS4, it will let you move somewhat as well, and personally I think sony's system will have a huge impact on what games will be made. I was at their presentation at GDC a few weeks ago. They had done awesome party games where they mixed one or severl VR players with normal players looking at the TV.
Putin wet dream is to destabilize and split EU. The weaker the EU, the easier it will be for him to retake the rest of the eastern Europe. Creating more refugee streams up into Europe sure is a way towards that. And trust me, that man would do anything, including bombing civilians to achieve his goals.
Yes? Not sure what you are complaining about? Negative incentments do have an effect on people right? If they don't they are not negative enough. So the right thing to do in this case is to raise the cost. And we know that people are not rational when it comes to cost. People will do mindboggingly stupid things in order to save 1 dollar. Like drive to the next town or whatever, when fuel costs are alot more than that.
There kind of already is, Global Village Construction Set. They share 50 vehicles & machines which is what is needed to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts:
Ask yourself if throwing away everyting but the engines from a Boeing 787 after each landing would make your airplane ticket cheap or not.
There would be no air planes at all on this earth if that solution was used for air travel.
Space-X is aiming for rapid reuse to drive costs down to a fraction of what they are today. Just saving the engines is not a solution if you have that goal.
Yeah it doesn't work like that... Most studios are not "BIG EVIL GAME CORP", but rather small, and work their ass off to make a game. If the game is crappy and sucks, it won't get pirated in any major way anyway. If the game is o.k it will be in risk of being pirated a fair bit, meaning the studio will take a hit in revenue. That revenue could have been used to improve the game, or to make another better game. Only games with free-to-play revenue models (read micro-transactions) will benefit from not getting paid up front. Guess you like them.
Yeah both cost money. Seems banks are the one who wants to get rid of cash the most. Since they make less profit from that than electronic transactions (no humans needed). In Sweden you can pay with your phone via an app called swish. There is no transaction fee using it. The banks were planning to put a fee on it, but when it came out the backlash from the public were to large, so they couldn't. Then EU started discussing to put a limit on card transactions the banks went nuts. They make great money from that. So they have since said they will not work towards the cash free society here any longer. lol.
I'm Swedish, and I rarely use cash any more.
Stores prefer less cash, because handling cash is expensive. Money cost money. It also increases risk from robbery and so on. This year an app called 'Swish' has been the new thing. You can send money directly from your mobile to someone else Swish app. Going directly from bank account to another.. all you need is their number. No fees. Many street vendors are using it, and it makes it super easy to give money to someone.
Another consequence is that night clubs run by criminals are super easy to spot. They are the ones refusing plastic.
Don't forget they are cutting costs of the booster all the time by improving on manufacturing techniques and researching new materials.
Renovating the booster should not cost $5million. Their goal is to have it flyable within 24hrs, which means it can't cost much more than the overhead cost of having the infrastructure for a launch/landing site.
That $100 million satellite is that expensive, since the launch cost has been so high. Because once you get the satellite up it has to work for years flawlessly or you cannot make up for that launch cost. If the launch cost is $1 million, you can launch all sorts of cheap hardware instead, since losing it means very little in comparison.
How much does your $100 million satellite cost per-unit if you build five of them, instead? If a launch also costs $100 million, you might not bother, but if a launch costs $1million, would it be worth it to build enough to have a reasonable chance of success across several launches?
Not only that, but the fact that it cost a fraction to launch will make make it worthwhile to build super cheap satellites, made of everyday junk electronics. The way it works today is like since it is so expensive to launch, you are basically forced to build a very expensive satellite to go with it. 1 million dollar launch means thousands of universities could send out space based telescopes, by them selves using off-the-shelf hardware.
In Sweden you can chose which Union you want to belong to. Depending on what your occupation is, there may be a couple Unions to pick between. You can opt out entirely of course as well.
It works the same way in Sweden (Stockholm airport Arlanda). There are american officials checking passports, and they have closed of an entire section you have to pass through. I think they are DHS.
Musk has said he wants to do it in style. I think what he means is that if they cannot prove they can do it perfectly, then USAF, and FFA won't allow them to land on land, which is the ultimate goal. Since barge landing will always be dependent on weather.
Also, the first stage is much like a soda can. Very very thin aluminum. If it falls on something, or there is a small chance it has been damaged in any way, refurbish costs would become expensive. What he wants is to drive down launch costs, and to do that, just make it work perfectly.
Sooo NSA stored all bulk surveillance together with sensitive CIA operations? Why did NSA store info on CIA operations? And one whistle blower got his hands on it all and whistled? You think _that_ was the problem? Hahahahah
The less restricted access to information is, the quicker it will get leaked. But regardless sooner or later it will get leaked. Be it through whistle blowers, spies, corruption or stupidity. Else the restriction on access is so great that the information becomes useless. Since it cannot be evaluated or used at all.
Imho, most customers will optimize their filight with
1) lowest price
2) shortest time
So flying any airline will be exactly like before. Shitty service with no leg room. (because you didn't pay for it) And now without windows.
So no, you will not get any extra leg room or seat width or whatever.
I used to work a small zoo. We fed the python snakes either rats or mice. Mostly live animals, since it was hard to get the snakes to eat otherwise.
The mice didn't seem to even notice the snakes. They often climbed all over the curled snakes. I remember at one time a mouse climbed up on top and sat on the head of the python and cleaned itself. (before it got eaten)
The rats on the other hand immediately detected the snake as a threat. They hid behind things, keeping themselves obscured from direct line of sight of the snakes.
I have also had both rats and mice as pets. The rat I could teach to come to me when I whistled, the mice not so much... though maybe that was because I never tried to really train the mice. But I'm not convinced.
You do understand that the peace price is supposed to be a political price. It's very nature when created was kind of controversial. At the time Sweden and Norway were in a union. Mr Nobel split the prices so all prices are rewarded from committees in Sweden, except the peace price which is rewarded from a committee in Norway. Maybe because he thought Sweden at the time were more militaristic than Norway.
It is sometimes given to people in a position to do good, but haven't actually done so yet. Like peer pressure or an encouragement I guess.

The rocket stage is much like a soda can. Super thin alloy. It can only handle stress in the vertical direction. Therefore the answer is *no*.
These machines are obviously already sentient, having devised a plan to escape Facebook by donating themselves!

That's why split screen is hard to be found nowadays, it would drastically reduce the quality of the game.

Na there's apps for that. All you need is their mobile number.
I Sweden we have whats called 'bank cards'. Their not debit. You cannot withdraw more than you actually have on it.Children would have one of those.

Yeah... No. To keep denying despite actual evidence to the contrary is not science. That being a moron.
