there are currently over 6000 DK's out there, and I have communications with many of the people who have them. And NONE, absolutely NONE have found the Oculus Rift a bad experience.
You mean people that paid for X say X is great and has no flaws? Not a single screen door effect mention is a clue to reliability of those 6000 owners. It is simply put UNUSABLE for anything but developing content for future better versions. Current dev kit is like a Virtualboy - neat gimmick that promises great things IF they can get better tech.
You *hope* he is right?! You *hope* billions of people are killed from war, famine, and hunger? These words actually formed in your brain and trickled out onto your keyboard? Really?!
"What do you get? -SATA 6Gb/s interface -Up to 400GB capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor with 7mm or 5mm z-heights -Comprehensive portfolio from a trusted storage-industry leader -Limited 3 year, usage-based warranty"
Guess what "Limited 3 year, usage-based warranty" means, you have hmm one guess.
And now the fun part : Endurance (method 2: Total Bytes Written (TBW)) 72TB, 73TB 72TB 36.5TB
120GB model has 36TB endurance !!!!! I write about 2-5TB per month right now on my desktop:/
But you dont know if data before 1960 was anomalous. The whole concept of "anomalous" is based on assumption of warming. Model doesnt reflect reality, it reflects your opinion.
You cant do that. Let me give you a car analogy: You collect global stats on Nascar popularity using random surveys. You do that for 2 years and note that Nascar is not that popular. Next you launch advertising campaign _and _ change survey method to reflect your assumption that Nascar will gain popularity. You only take into account data collected near race tracks around the world. OMG new advertising campaign was a raging success!
So all the data recorded up to that point used method X. All of a sudden someone spotted that this data doesnt work for his AWG propaganda. Data using method X after 1960 gets discarded. Method Y starts being used for new data, but old data STILL uses method X.
Please tell me about yourself. What do you do every day? Do you have any favourite restaurants? Strip clubs? Golf courses? Road you take between work and home, do you even bother going to work every day? Any dangerous hobbies prone to accidents?
It would be very helpful to my Cuban business associates - Iv been told they are the quickest and cheapest option when dealing with patent litigation, cutting all the red tape and all.
We know due to lots of stuff, like tree rings and lake sediments. While they all have margins of error, they are all in broad agreement that the temperature rises in the last century have been exceptional.
Actually we dont. Tree rings show otherwise - this was one of the main points of climategate - "scientists" were using a trick of discarding inconvenient part of tree ring data starting in 196x because it wasnt supporting global warming.
If you need the cliff notes version, then this and this give pretty damning information on the "scandal" surrounding the leaks.
What we have there. 1 proponent of AWG is angry and frustrated because data he works with doesnt support his theory. 2 another proponent of AWG discards some data, but only portion that was inconvenient for his theory. Doesnt try to explain why the data is "wrong". Still bases his theory of warming using same data for the cold periods, but ignoring it for the hot ones.
We were paying attention to Germany who shut down their reactors but nonetheless had enough solar and wind to export power to nuclear France when their reactors couldn't run because there wasn't enough cooling water in summer or frozen in winter. The also had their first day last year where wind/solar made enough to power the whole fucking country alone.
AHAHAHAHA. Germany classifies coal plants "renewable energy" if they are cofiring. They use freshly chopped trees as "biomass". That "renewable" energy you might of read about was straight from Coal.
But there are some really nice aspects to this for some people. Being able to share your games with friends and family (up to 10) is pretty awesome and in no way possible for normal people today.
You fail at reading comprehension. What they meant by "sharing" is you will be able to authorize 10 people to TURN ON YOUR OWN CONSOLE. People not on that list wont be even able to start a game (well, maybe if they wave your picture in front of a Kinect).
Specifically, the European Court of Justice ruled last year on a case involving Oracle and UsedSoft, with the latter wanting to resell used Oracle software. The court found that licences could be resold, notwithstanding a claim to the contrary in Oracle's licence agreement. Interestingly, they also ruled that if Oracle was offering free maintenance updates to the original purchaser then they must continue to offer the same to the purchaser of the used software licence.
Lets not forget German consumer protection agency (VZVB) suing Steam for the exact same thing this year.

Fix? you mean you tried Oculus and it was broken? No? Then WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THAT POST? ...
Tracking is one of the few things Oculus got right - there is no lag, no noticeable latency.
Display on the other hand is TERRIBAD. Lets hope screenshot of door effect on HD unit is real, it looks good.
So what you are saying is we would all be Amish.
Skype with M$/NSA at the helm is not better.

Yes.
I trust SSDs more than physical spindles any day.
for the 72TB of write, after that you are boned
70TB is a month at max in a datacenter

no they dont :)
the newest 19nm MLC drives have 80TB for 256GB drive write endurance.
80 TERRABYTES and warranty is GONE.

Sure.
You are clearly on a popular strategy here:
"We do not need telephones, because we have messenger boys" - a British Government - presumably some time in late 1800's.
telephones provide instant gratification versus messenger boy, what does this big expensive fragile slow robot give you versus slave with a phone?

Good thing dashcams dont record constantly - they stop every 1-5 minutes.

awww how cute, you really think when they said "share with 10 members of family of friends" they meant "on more than one console" :DDD
They meant you can authorize 10 people to LOG IN AS YOU into YOUR OWN CONSOLE.
Steam doesn't allow you to buy or sell used games.

We might be able to finally resale DRM riddled Steam games in a year or two.
Thats great, except it doesnt work like that in Civilized world:
