Nor will it EVER have its day until there is a real 3D display system.

Now, stereoscopic filmmaking may be over, but that's hardly 3D except in the eyes of the bewildered.

I guarantee you, when a 3D production can be made, distributed and enjoyed, the day of 3D will begin, and it isn't likely to *ever* go back to 2D (or the pale imitation that is stereoscopy.)

Also, happy solstice + 3. I wish you a suitably bacchanalian event, complete with frolicking, consensual partner of your choice.

Eh? People don't have 3D vision, they have stereoscopic vision. You see two scenes projected onto two 2D surfaces (your retines). Hence, the movies are pretty well matched to your vision system.

This will only happen once a suitable alternative is found to keep running old vehicles. Washington isn't about to mandate a fuel 95% of car owners can't use. We had the same arguments when lead fuel was eliminated. Actually the very same "Oh but what about my '69 Mustang" arguments.

Well here we are today, no lead in the fuel and a small additive on the market for owners of vehicles which required leaded gas.

Not just older vehicles. E-15 should also not be used in new motorcycles, lawnmowers, chain saws, ATVs and light-duty trucks. Anything not covered by auto regulations in 2001 to make engines more alcohol-safe.

If you read the press releases from when they started building nukes they promised that electricity would be so cheap they might just get rid of meters. That hasn't quite worked out. Turns out they were right about nukes being cleaner than coal, but try to tell that to people who live near Fukushima.

This just in: real world a lot harder than school.

Gee, thanks Slashdot!

The reason is pretty obvious. The 25-line program you write for a school assignment is not the same as the 5000 lines you are writing to implement a set of vague business requirements.
