True, it'd be OK for a pure electric car. Hybrid, eh, maybe not so much. I think even if I were driving an electric car, that sound would still make me twitch.
I'll be all over that. The wires quickly become a trip hazard if you start moving around much at all. A couple of games for the thing require more agility than the wires allow. This does mean I'll have to move the coffee table that's just outside the play area, though, or someone's going to break a kneecap.
There are a decent number of games for the Vive on steam, and Virtual Desktop can already play 360 degree videos from Youtube in VR. There are a respectable number of 360 degree videos on youtube, too. It's astounding how much more "real" a 360 degree wingsuit video is in VR versus just looking at a video on a flat screen, even a 4K flat screen.
The most compelling argument you can make for VR is to put a helmet on someone's head and let them play around for a few minutes. So far, 100% of the people who've tried mine have said they want one, and I've had a couple of inquiries about building a VR-Capable system for someone. That being said, gaming in VR is somewhat self-limiting. Ultimately there's only so long I want to keep that helmet on my head, and some of the Vive games can be a pretty decent workout. I don't see VR replacing conventional displays anytime soon, but it's already a great addition to a gaming setup.
Handling classified documents requires specific training (they basically just say "don't talk to people in Derkaderkastan about Fight Club.") If unauthorized personnel were directed to print classified documents, they could not be expected to know how to handle those documents. Nobody told them not to talk to people in Derkaderkastan about Fight Club. The person who provided that access would be the one to be held accountable.
Like, for example, let's say I worked for a company with a culture of ineptitude. Due to their ineptitude, perhaps they would not be completely aware of which of their documents should be classified and which ones shouldn't. Now if I happened to accidentally take one of their lowest-classification-level ("For Official Use Only") documents home with me on a CD, I would likely be fired, shipped to gitmo and anally food-raped by a guy whose boss told him it was OK to do that. But this does not apply in Hillary's case because she's only handling documents that could actually get people on the ground killed and not, say, a list of names of people we probably shouldn't sell our product to. It's a completely different thing. Instead of being anally food-raped, they tell her she really ought not to have done that and make her promise not to do it again. You see how much worse that is? I'd much rather being anally food-raped on a daily basis in Gitmo so long as I don't have to promise not to run a private email server again.
Don't get me wrong; despite my sarcasm, I think Hillary would be a much better choice to lead the nation than Trump would be, in much the same way that being infected with zika is much better than being infected with ebola. Ideally I could avoid both, but if a bunch of stupid people decided that we should all have a choice between ebola and zika, well I guess I'd have to choose that everyone should get some zika.
I live in Colorado and that thing would be broken before you drove it off the lot. You can't go 10,000 miles in this state without having your windshield shattered. It's in the constitution!
I just got a Dell precision with a touch screen and Ubuntu preinstalled. It has ports, has super-fast wifi, has 32 GB of RAM and everything works out of the box with Linux.
They'll keep getting more intrusive until too many people start bitching about them, back off just slightly from there and hail their "Consumer-friendly" stance of not shoving ads up your ass every 45 minutes.
Oh, that's easy. When the companies audit their code to get their security ratings for government contracts, they report their findings to the NSA. Then, the Chinese and Russian hackers hack the NSA and download the reports. Then, when the Russian and Chinese hackers defect to Europe, they bring those reports and hand them over to the GHCQ. Along with, I'm going to say, plutonium. Hi guys! Anywhoo, then the GHCQ outsources writing the code to exploit the weaknesses detailed in the reports to India or Pakistan. You know, because why not? So basically by the time you hear about a security flaw being exploited, pretty much everyone in the world already knows about it anyway.
Things seem to be a bit better now; I had some problems with my last laptop and Ubuntu last year, mostly around hibernation. But a Dell Precision I purchased last week seems to work great with Xubuntu right out of the box -- everything just worked, from the very first boot-up. It's a beautiful machine, too.
That still doesn't buy you a lot if you need stuff that runs specifically on OSX, although I think that most commercial stuff should at least have a windows port. I might end up feeling differently about Adobe et al whenever I have to start editing 4K 360 degree videos and previewing them on VR headsets.
Back in the day I used to run an asterisk server that listened for calls on a landline. When a call came in, it would check the caller ID against a white list and send matching numbers out over voip to my cell phone. Since my voip provider would accept any caller ID I entered, I'd spoof the outgoing caller ID to my cell phone to be the incoming caller ID of the person calling me. Kind of an edge case, I suppose, and I could have lived without the feature, but there are valid use cases.
I recently bought one of their Precision laptops with Linux preinstalled. I've been holding some grudges against Dell for a very long time, but I have to hand it to them; they put together a beautiful machine that was exactly what I was looking for. I should be pretty happy with it as long as I never have to talk to their technical support.
A lot of them also can charge for subscriptions. They post some free samples that cut off just before the money shot to drive traffic to their site. When you want to smack it to some live goat porn and you want to do it NOW, it's pretty easy to drop that $30 on the Visa card for the specific thing you're looking for.
And no, 6 seconds really isn't enough, unless they happen to have a LOT of goats. I mean, way more than the usual ones. Like, at least 10-15 goats...
I suppose you're largely paying for thin there. I can get a similarly speced Dell Precision with a touch screen and a 2TB SSD for about $1000 less (With Linux preiinstalled.) The Apple Trash Can is competing in the workstation arena, though, and I just did a monster VR desktop build and was having trouble breaking 4 grand with it. Although it would have been a lot easier if I were trying to put a Xeon or dual Xeon in it. The amount of labor I put in to building it myself probably would have tacked another $1000 or so onto the price.
Given that you'd be able to use that (Apple) machine for upwards of 10 years if you wanted to, the price isn't particularly unreasonable. My first aluminum mac pro from 2005-ish is currently serving as an asterisk box for a friend of mine who has a small business and needed a PBX system, and the machine is still plenty capable of doing that. It wasn't even ridiculously expensive for a dual Xeon workstation at the time -- I don't think I could have built one for less money back then.
And while they're in prison they're exempt from the 13th amendment barring slavery. There are actually more legal slaves in the USA now than there were when slavery was abolished in the 1800s.
So what you're saying is that when you launch your tax fraud call center you should launch a BGP attack to remap the irs.gov web servers to a website of your own design? Good to know!
Yes, we get it, she was a shitty CEO. So much so that the company was actually worth less than the amount of total cash it had on hand for a while. Yahoo bad management stories aren't really "news" at this point, so much as supporting evidence. It's still a total sausage farm on the "Shittiest CEOs of the Century" list, which I think proves that boards of directors not only do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender and religion, but also on the basis of ability. They seem to be quite happy to give some arbitrary random jackass hundreds of millions of dollars to ideally do practically nothing, as at least that won't impede the company so much. And then when those people inevitably fuck up, they give them hundreds of millions of dollars more to go the fuck away. I believe our corporate batting average would be better if we just randomly assigned CEOs from the phone book. We might do better with congressional seats with that strategy, as well. Yahoo could have hired a rock at a 10th the price and performed better than they did with her. Leave her to her shame and her multi-million dollar golden parachute. We won't be hearing from her again until she publishes her book runs for president, in a few years.
Is there a sum of money after which you feel happy with the amount of money you have, or is it a matter of there not being enough penis in the world to fill the hole in your heart?
Honestly I don't even know why I'm asking. There's about as much chance of these being answered as there was with SCO CEO guy. What was his name again? I don't even remember. I expect unpronounceable last name guy will be equally as memorable.

So I'm guessing the outcome of the study was that the plane can't carry the payload?
Not really, but I think Trump might give him full tongue.

This is the part where the computers learn TOO much about us and decide to kill all humans! Joyful anticipation!
Shit, Samsung, one hundred dollars will barely buy a band aid in the burn ward! I needs at least FIVE hundred dollars, if you want my forgiveness!

Displays for VR still have a long way to go to get rid of the screen door effect. That might be what they're pushing toward.
Aah we're always imprisoning people. It's like we're a one-trick pony.
