3d movies these days have their depth planned out to enhance the storytelling value. i guess they're trying like mad to make it seem less gimmicky and more like yet another tool in the vast toolbox of cinema.
of course it is both right now... and will remain so as long as the multiplexes are attracting people solely because of 3d. when 3d TVs have full penetration we'll start seeing 3d mature as filmmakers spend more time communicating and less time showing off.
boo hoo. some stimuli that are normally coupled are uncoupled.
i'm sure people said the same with every stage in cinema:
- the lack of colour where colour normally exists - the presence of focused and unfocused objects on the same plane - the lack of high and low frequencies in early cinema sound
now...
let's not confuse the 3d systems currently in theatres.
the single-lens system (the one with LCD specs) is far inferiour to the twin-lens (polarized) system.
with a 48Hz refresh,on the single-lens system, camera pans cause depth to increase in one direction and decrease in another. this means cameras have to be either fixed, or moved very slowly, or the actual film (if CG) needs to be rendered specially to take this into account. it's worth adding that the latter has never happened.
the single-lens system is also prone to going out of phase, meaning the 3d effect shows the background in front with the action "punched out" of it. flip the glases upside down and you're back to normal.

is this the strangest slashdot troll we've seen here?
or is it proof that microsoft really has the subtlety of a grenade in a primary school classroom? if their search logic is this useless there's no way in hell i'm ever using Bing, even if it does give me the exact (ie stolen) result that google gives...
i didn't say it was hard. but considering i wasn't trying it was interesting. i only discovered it when i made a typo and robotically hit enter before correcting it, only to have it pass with no problem.
unfortunately i wouldn't trust any of the measures, as CPM is a subset of DPM (actual decays per minute), and depends on the calibration of the counter and distance/type of source.
DPM then needs to be converted to sieverts, which is a bit nightmarish as well.
it's telling that some of the units given are converted to grays, which i believe are specific to gamma rays, so there'd need to be a weight used depending on the percentages of fission products and their decay profiles before you could convert that to sieverts or DPM.
i need to see proof! i'm not investing my money in a more expensive "renewable" IPv6 pipe dream!
i doubt that we're even running out of IPv4 addresses. the world doesn't work like that, and i'd be damned if i'm going to give up my net-enabled gadget way of life in the name of your flawed science!
IPv4 depletion is a MYTH perpetrated by left-wing pinkos trying to cripple the free market and personal freedoms.
they're hoping for the GP's scenario - they're speculating on the increasing value of remaining IPv4 addresses.
soon the bubble will burst, there'll be a sub-prime IP mortgage bust and people will be kicked out of their IP addresses if they can't make the payments.

the 3DS has a little slider to control that.

how do i convert to Britneys?
ah, now i can tell.
your algorithm is not about to achieve sentience just yet.
probably not too much, or they'd be more believable.
personally i suspect some botman is trying to land a job at MS with all this.
one more, motherfucker!
just one more unsolicited pro-microsoft astroturf and i'm coming after you!
don't think i can't find you, either.
If this was a demonstration of a policy of helping out dictatorships, then why has it not been apparent on previous occasions
well, there was the case with "pirate" software in Russia being investigated only in anti-govt organisations within Russia.
true, MS eventually acknowledged this problem and moved to correct it.
what's more worthy of asking is why even risk the bad PR when MS have no interest in oppression of states with relatively little money.
no, but the two are highly correlated.
i believe the SI unit is milliDianas

and you'll find the stats flooded by that kristopeit fucker's thousands of userID's.
there's been a data spill!
i bet they find the laptop in the Gulf of Mexico.
time to trade in your HBGary Astroturf license. this one's failed.

ooo, i can't tell if this is a bot post or not!
well done!
my first job out of high school was installing windows 95 on refurbed computers.
i typed those keys so often, i could generate unique ones at will.
i tried it on several machines, and they all passed.
i've since lost this skill...
if there isn't a library in every town in America, i think that should be done regardless.
book stores don't count.
read the parent post... i couldn't be bothered quoting a 1 sentence post directly above mine for reasons that should be obvious.

totally.
you ever see "Demolition Man"?
but all the competition they're trying to squeeze out will just switch to v6...

fucking WHOOSH!
you think maybe everyone in this thread is punning on the MS is evil thing on account of the 666K addresses they just bought?
