    While plagued with opportunities for abuse, this is a very intresting concept.

    FOV certainly can be. If the screen is a fixed distance from the eye, it takes up a certain percentage of your FOV based on screen size.

    Next you’re going to say that he if he had any backbone he would have sought approval for military action against a nation using chemical weapons on its own people.

    I get the Obama hate. Really, he's not so great. He's mostly Bush 3. Realistically, there is no way to sell a military confrontation with Russia to the House of Representatives. He couldn't even get a single republican to pass their healthcare bill, ie the one Regan's people wrote. They will not authorize him to go to war, and he won't go to war without the constitutionally mandated declaration. I don't like the guy, but we need more of that.

    It is much harder to charge for hardware as a service, then it is to charge for software updates.

    Consider the dreaded vampire tap, or induction, or wire cutters. Physical access isn't only a vunerability at the end points. Analog systems are beaten easily.

    I would imagine that other "critical infrastructure" would also be a valid target for similar treatment then. Thus, the discussion and valid rebuke that air gapping doesn't really secure "critical infrastructure" that is networked.

    It is only deflationary if the demand grows, or at a minimum shrinks slower then supply shrinks.

    Bit coin is the worst case scenerio for a Libertarian. Everytime the Bitcoin community fails it serves to re-enforce the natural down sides of pure classical liberalism. Having absolutely no "full faith and credit" behind a currency is a preplanned disaster. Having no oversight or regulation is a disaster. Untill some entity emerges that becomes authoritative in punishing or advertising bad players Bitcoin doesn't work as currency very well. Individuals certainly aren't going to sort through the block chain to divine if they are dealing with a bad player, or being issued stolen coins.Currency needs to be easy to use, otherwise it creates a market ineffiency.

    Doesn't it interact gravitationally with itself and normal matter?

  19. Re:Dark matter? on Dinosaurs Done In By... Dark Matter? · · Score: 2

    It would seem to follow that dark matter would tend to naturally form some type of structure. Normal matter certainly forms rather consistent shapes on many different scales. What shapes would dark matter favor if it only interacts gravitationally? Wouldn't it form either a dense ball at the bottom of our galactic gravity well, or flatten into a disc with the rest of the matter in our galaxy? I don't think I've ever read any real theories on it.

    Further, this initial dispute was over the moral requirement, not any imagined legal requirement. Can we discuss ontopic. I'm really intrested in the rational behind the moral obligation of a corporation to maximize shareholder value above all else.
