The problem of competing standards is minimized by the lack of a physical interface. If it's determined that frequency X is ideal for transmission, it will little matter what brand of receiver you're using.
You're an idiot. Laproscopy (the technique in question) is essentially telepresence surgery. You hold small tools with a camera attached to a long, maneuverable tube. Your tools are also attached to long tubes, and you're basically watching yourself do the surgery on TV. The wii is also telepresence. You hold controls and your character on screen reacts. Laproscopy uses almost exclusively your eyes and fine motor control in the hands. The wii is obviously an ideal corollary in the video game world.
I don't see how anyone voted the parent interesting when he suggests tennis might help. Even his sewing and soldering suggestions involve direct observation and manipulation, as opposed to the wii's telepresence manipulation.
They reached several funding goals, but they were not able to eliminate all advertising (their stated goal). The ultimate impact of their KS campaign remains to be seen.
I believe their initial goal is just to get the dev kit (your duct tape version). Maybe they'll add stretch goals now that their initial goal was blown away within hours of posting.
Fuck Carmack! Gaben STOOD UP and told you to back this. When the man behind the revolution of PC gaming backs something, you need to quit bitching and get in line. Carmack has always been a crackpot, but Gabe has consistently backed the winning horse.
They need to buy out the people behind the Ouya system and incorporate that and make it $100. All Ouya has is money anyways. Roku is close to offering this already, now that they offer games. Google needs to control this out of the gate instead of diving in late in the game like they usually do. Android-powered, web-connected TV interface that supports gaming. KIS,S
This is what bothers me more than anything. Anyone able to remain that calm in the spotlight is probably a bit of a dick. I'd like Wikileaks to turn out to be a hero and everyone to slowly forget the name Julian Assange. But then again, nobody wants to remember the message, just the name (I'm looking at you, Christians, Buddhists, etc.).
I'm white and speak Japanese without an accent (Dave Specter has me beat on vocabulary, but he sounds horrible). I get the same initial shock when I open my mouth. If they're under 15, they just tend to stare for a minute. After a couple sentences, most people calm down and everything is normal. However, when I leave I often hear whispered comments about how much of a shock the experience was.
Isn't Russia heavily controlled by the mob?
"Nice planet you have here, comrade. Would be shame if anything broken, yes? Maybe you pay us, we protect you from asteroid?"
The guy made a cheap, uninteresting version of Casshern in Portugese or Spanish or whatever. Not impressed...

Have a robot, ninja, super-evolved zombie cut through a robot with a karate chop and I'll start paying attention.
Japanese has 46 completely different phonetic syllables (a good number of which can be further modified with the addition of a " to create another sound). On top of that, certain combinations can be used to form a compound-syllable (i.e. Ryo, Sho, Cho, Myo, Sha, etc).
I don't see how Japanese can be considered limited in this regard.
Never dealt with horse racing statistics, I take it. Equibase "owns" them all, and if you try to use them in any way, you're violating their copyright. Sure it's illegal, but who has the time or money to challenge them?
I didn't RTFA, but the link says it clearly enough. These are NOT designer babies. These babies are being SCREENED. They're still YOUR babies. You're not going to get a black kid from two white parents. You're not going to get a blond Asian (unless they already have that disposition in the parents).
This is just the test run for the full scale model that they'll fit inside a straight-jacket that they'll put me in because I'm paranoid that they will do precisely that!
I didn't get the impression that he currently converts his analog signal into MPEG, so it seems like he's attempting to use the coupon to upgrade his TV, which is not within the scope of compensating TV owners for the diminished value of their property.

Ah yes. The dreaded Monster Edition.

You do know Penny Arcade just did this, and that the results were very mixed.

WTFV and see the biggest names in computer gaming vocalizing their support, then calm your ass down about "slashvertisements".

How do you know some hacker didn't set the files to be run from those locations while he remains.... anonymous?
They found my CS 1.3 server!

The 15 minute gun fight going across multiple streets in Breaking News by Johnnie To should be in there. Just an absurdly long take.
It sounds like you've never had deja vu where you can say exactly what the other person was going to say as they say it.

People who talk about "watering the Tree of Liberty" always sound like they're planning on killing others, not sacrificing themselves...

This would work great if your job was outdoors and you had it clipped to your belt. Seems like it'd work well for construction?

The outcome of my paranoia is its cause!
