The problem is that the guy is carrying a 'gun' but you're still aiming with your head (i.e. the Oculus).

This has been done better before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQR49JGySTM

It's impossible to prove anything, when the counter argument is: "It's magic!".

Here ya go..

But I do agree.. I mean toys back then were awesome! Lawn darts, _real_ chemistry sets with radium and such..

Have a look at http://www.cracked.com/article_19481_the-8-most-wildly-irresponsible-vintage-toys.html

I'm still in favor of Darwinism, even with children's toys.

I see gender roles are still alive and well, with Pauline using pink umbrella's and pink handbags in her quest to defeat Donkey Kong...

This technique is quite old, but it's not the typing you should be focusing on, but more general computer usage. Think like an Intrusion Detection System, anything that would constitute abnormal behavior. Example:

Mar 1 18:05:57 localhost - User started web browser application
Mar 1 18:06:12 localhost - User opened 17 tabs to various porn sites
Mar 1 18:08:20 localhost - User closed browser
Mar 1 18:08:24 localhost - Microphone picking up sobbing noises
Mar 1 18:08:26 localhost - User identity verified.

A look into the future: "You can play used games only the PS4... It's just that all of the game publishers use features to block this"

Consumers will be screwed on this, one way or the other. Blood from a stone after all.

It's very unlikely that Microsoft will abandon DirectX. It is afterall the reason why most games for the PC are Windows-exclusive. If they OpenGL becomes king, porting to Linux will be a lot easier. Windows will be dumped by a lot of people whose only reason to keep a Windows desktop is gaming.

Did a search on the thread on the keyword 'Illuminati'.. was disappointed..

It's like Taco Bell, implying that you're actually getting 100% beef, while instead they say "We start with 100% beef". Of course in the end you only end up with 36% meat, but that's not something they advertise very loudly.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge".

"Do not attribute to malice, what can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Still, this does not pass the smell test..

I'm glad the patent wars are being fought out in the telecom industry, instead say the computer hardware or software industry, in hopes that people will see the folly of this idiotic and in the end destructive set of laws concerning patents.

But I have no illusion that if this is not stopped, it will spill over into every other aspect of our lives, from patents in software (which is already ramping up) to foods, cars, books and more. The damage will be impressive.

I thought it was because we Slashdotters are known to never make mistaks.

Unlike the title claims, it doesn't _crack_ in real time, it just allows you to mount the encrypted volume and lets you decrypt it with the keys you found. I.e. make it work just like truecrypt when you mount a partition.

If they were able to _crack_ in real time, then they'd have just solved P = NP.

I'd love.. well.. no. I'd tolerate more ads on sites if they were safe. Here in the Netherlands, we've recently had infections go via nu.nl and nrc.nl. Both very respectable news websites and perfectly safe. If it wasn't for the trojans served via the ads.

Nowadays all ads are the enemy. Flash, Java and Adobe reader seem perma-broken, coming with new 0-day attacks every time.

So adblockers aren't just a convenient way of stopping the more shady sites from popping a million blinking commercials in your face, they're part of regiment to keep your PC as healthy as possible.

(Certainly with the current trend of commercialized trojan kits, which means every noob can whip up something that nestles itself in your MBR, stays invisible and undetectable to everything you can through at, can steal your passwords and inject any banking site with redirecting iframes. No sir, the internet is a wild an dangerous place.)
