  1. Re:Case study on how to blow a great oppurtunity on Oculus Founder Explains Why the Rift VR Headset Will Cost "More Than $350" · · Score: 1

    You do realize the frame and strap are different parts? No real issues putting safety goggles through the wash, they will still work as safety googles afterwards.

    700 years of making glasses: no one has made the mistake making the frame of fabric.
    Wouldn't put your Oculus CV1 in the clothes washer when it gets dirty.
    Predicting someone will be canned for the decision and the CV2 the fabric will be gone.

    Apple devices do NOT "just work". The bluetooth on my new ipod touch didn't work correctly. WTF they can't get bluetooth to work correctly? All my android devices worked with the same bluetooth devices. Just a quick google search and you will find others with flaky bluetooth.

  9. Re:albeit costing three times as much on Intel Releases Broadwell Desktop CPUs: Core i7-5775C and i5-5675C · · Score: 2

    For some reason anandtech didn't enable crossfire in any of the benchmarks. Who in their right mind would have a AMD APU and AMD G-Card and disable crossfire, unless you are trying to make intel to appear much faster.

  10. Re:What about AMD Godaveri? on Intel Releases Broadwell Desktop CPUs: Core i7-5775C and i5-5675C · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Intel CPU is on par with the Godaveri over here http://www.anandtech.com/show/... .
    Once you add a R7-240 the AMD chip is faster with dual graphics and sometimes faster by itself. Still cheaper buying AMD and the 240 card than one intel cpu.
    Somewhat bogus benchmark because they didn't enable dual graphics for the AMD chips in the intel test. There is reason that you would want a AMD chip to crossfire later if you don't have a lot of money.

  14. Source/API Closing Up Oculus F*** Y** on Oculus Rift Hardware Requirements Revealed, Linux and OS X Development Halted · · Score: 2

    The original Oculus API was very open. Now large swaths of code are being put into binary services. The latest API is massive change again. Now they are putting all the distortion related code in binary blob/service. Good luck trying to port it to Mac or Linux.

    Oh one more thing stop fing writing of your POS code from scratch. WTF a logger class, string class, smart pointer class and finally yet another fing linear algebra that class just plain sucks. Oh you want to do 3*Vector3M, nope ,have to do Vector*3. Now I see why it has taken so long to get a final product, you suffer from NIH syndrome.

    Finally can you fing decide if you are going to use tabs or spaces to indent your code or at least keep them the same in the same fing file.

  20. Re:Insteon Experience on Smart Homes Often Dumb, Never Simple · · Score: 1

    Get a ISY-994izw . The ISY-994izw supports both insteon and z-wave now. The programming interface looks dated but it is simple for non-programmers. There is always a very nice rest api if you want to do more. I have a mix of insteon and z-wave. Z-wave is by far more reliable and more secure than insteon, but I still use insteon if it is better device and cost for the job. The core of the ISY device isn't trying to have pretty gui, it just makes a device that works.
