Comment Re:data caps (Score 2) 39

Or people just won't be able to leave Internet TV on in the background all day. All the services I use ask me if I'm still watching at least every couple of hours, so it seems that they want to avoid unnecessary use.

Caps will have to go up, but ISPs and video services do not want people to use their bandwidth streaming 1080p video 24/7 to have something on in the background, so don't expect them to go away.

Comment Re:How about driverless engines anyway? (Score 1) 294

We don't. I guess driverless trains just aren't exciting to the people trying to automate driving. It's obviously a much simpler problem than cars, though a single serious accident would be a far greater tragedy than a car crash, so there may be more business risk than anyone wants to get involved with.

No it wont, unless you're prone top motion sickness, in which case VR is not for you.

Even VR a decade ago didn't make me sick, and I'm having a great time with my VR Gear and S6. Oculus fixed whatever caused the virtual world to warp as you turn on older VR systems like eMagin's device. It literally feels like being in a different environment. The phone version of Oculus is damn good, and the PC version will be much better. The head-tracking seems to be perfect in almost any app or game.

Which is a huge difference, and the reason brutal cops are finally starting to be prosecuted. So many Americans are clueless authoritarians that will go along with any claims from those in power, so it takes incontrovertible evidence to hold them accountable for their crimes against the American people.

You're obviously totally lost. Maybe you'd be more comfortable at a wingnut propaganda site that will reinforce your right-wing delusions. Free Republic, Zombie Breitbart, and Fox News are good possibilities for people like you who don't want to be troubled by reality.
