Just so you know, the AC may also be a woman. And actually probably is. Either that or a man who's never seen any news articles or blogs by "feminists".
How about you figure out how the creation even began if something didn't already exist? How about you explain to me that it makes more sense that whatever existed was already sentient, rather than gradually ordering itself out of disorder (ie, how we came to exist)? Saying "god did it" doesn't answer anything, it just adds another turtle.
Because religious people desperately want evidence that they can wave in the face of non believers to try to get them into their club. They will blindly refuse any evidence that doesn't agree with them of course. They're a bit like corporation funded researchers.
That's part of the equation but it really is not the primary reason it has continued to fail. The primary reason is that this technology always has been a solution looking for a problem. It's neat but it doesn't really scratch an itch.
I remember similar things being said about tablet computing:) It doesn't particularly matter if it has "mass market" adoption anyway in the long run. As long as it becomes available to people like me who have been waiting for something that has "good enough" resolution and tracking, at a decent price, then it will have been worth it. I do think that there are a lot of gamers who would love this. Just look at how much the simple motion tracking on the first Wii changed the direction of console gaming.
I have peripherals like a steering wheel, nice joystick, drum kit etc which I generally leave in a corner because I can't be bothered setting it all up. But the fact remains that when I do set them up, they're very good at improving immersion (and controllability) in games. A headset should be a bit less hassle at least.
Why? FWD has better traction because more weight is over the drive wheels, and it's more stable (when rear drive wheels slip the car fishtails)
Well, for one thing, I enjoy drifting/fishtailing when it's raining or there's snow (I only do that if there aren't other cars around though). Having weight over the drive wheels is pretty good for grip yes, but having the drive wheels also doing the steering is not a good thing, especially in unexpected situations. I suppose that a driver that's aware of the limitations of their vehicle will always fare better in poor weather than someone who knows nothing about drive systems and weight distribution, so it just comes down to preference. I prefer RWD (even over all wheel drive).
With thinner tyres, your car is more likely to sink through the snow and get better grip. It's perhaps bad in really deep snow, I wouldn't know.. but for the less than a foot of snow that we usually have on UK roads, it's definitely better with thinner tyres. I've never used real snow tyres, so I don't know about them.
I don't really mind that you killed a kangaroo, but I don't think it's valid to use the same logic in areas where there's a high chance of humans being near the road.
If you don't have time to detect and avoid someone/something you don't want to kill (or is illegal to kill) walking out from cars or other objects at the side of the road, and especially if you don't have time to detect something that's already on the road, you're going too fast for the conditions.
I love RWD in the snow. I'd say the width of your tyres mattes more than the drive system. It also depends how much snow you get I suppose. Snow is never a problem for me, but ice can really suck when it's on an incline (as in the car park at my last flat, where I had a lot of fun trying to get going some days..).
They don't stand to profit from anything right now, this is just news about a research project. If you are annoyed at the lack of product reviews for a product that doesn't even exist yet, maybe you should stop reading tech news sites.
The difference is that these articles are about research projects, not final products. This one doesn't even say that the car moves, just that it can detects things. So it's probably about one student's project into computer vision.. no, I haven't RTFA:p
driving down small public roads on a sunny day is fun. Its why we play video games.
No, we play video games because doing the same things in real life is often either stupid/dangerous, or impossible (alien worlds, Portal guns, etc).
Driving can be very enjoyable without being dangerous about it. If you want to really let loose on a public road, I recommend not buying a car that can do 0-60mph in less than 6 seconds.
Not really, I've just seen too many feminist posts on FB recently. The only one doing any cock blocking was himself. Plus lower UID people here are usually way older than me, and probably married.
He didn't say muscle mass, he said muscle density.. lots of animals have much more powerful muscles than us. It's not something that's selected for in modern societies, because your lifting/jumping/whatever power is generally irrelevant.
If they didn't, they would have made a military large enough to compete with ours.
Most countries aren't big enough for that. And very few other countries are crazy enough for it. Saying "they don't have a big army, so they must be hoping for our 'protection'" is a massive stretch.
Because they were the first mainstream devices (that I'm aware of) with displays that were actually pleasant to use - because of the capacitive touch and big finger-friendly buttons. Resistive displays were pretty horrible even with a stylus. Apple forced other manufacturers to put more emphasis on their UIs (though the first generation iPhones were horrible in terms of features, and so I didn't even consider getting one). I had been using Windows Mobile custom ROMs until I switched to Android around version 2.2 I think.
By "voice", do you mean voting? Which option should they choose, exactly, if they want the government to stop going to war? There have been protests against a lot of things recently, but they haven't had any effect.
How does that voice their opinion on any of the other thousands of issues that the government decides on?
I hadn't really thought about it before, but I just went to Amazon just now and looked at the menu. I found a "sell" option. You can choose to sell things personally (with deliveries potentially being fulfilled by Amazon, so I suppose that means that people can use the Prime service to receive items if you send them into Amazon first), or as a business. It's perhaps still a slightly different market to eBay, but it's definitely competing on some levels. Amazon do a lot more than just sell goods though..
To be fair, he introduced a lot of innovation into the mainstream, even if the ideas already existed beforehand.
The problem is that technically innovative people often aren't talented or even interested when it comes to marketing or interface design. Steve was good at bringing new ideas to market in a way that people found attractive and easy to use, and thus the ideas became mainstream.
As I usually say in reply to comments like this: I don't want an iPhone, but I'm glad they exist.
On behalf of men everywhere, I'd just like to point out that not everyone is as inappropriately horny or stupid as this guy. Or at least, if we are, we try to keep quiet about it.

You could use all 4 SATA ports for HDDs, and install using a USB optical drive or stick when needed (which won't be very often..)

I'm not sure what you're talking about with "haven't sold one unit". Or do you not count the development kits?
I thought it was just a (relatively) common phrase..? Maybe I've watched Firefly too many times.

hey the guy said he can reed, not ryt
Out of morbid curiosity - who uploaded the content, and why isn't the law firm chasing that guy?
There's a possibility that the porn company uploaded it themselves, just so that they could execute this plan.
Th **AA have been caught doing similar things, so it's not unprecedented.
Of course it's very possible that a normal user uploaded them too.

After all -- what happens if there are no animals, when you need food?
Humans are animals.
Tasty, tasty animals.
Sigh.
