Bonus points: it wont flood any place in land that is not actually flooded twice a day,

But, by retarding the tidal current, it WILL dry out part of the area currently intermittently wetted, and WILL keep continuously wet another part of it that is currently intermittently dried.

Try 'Alien Isolation' then get back to me. I don't know what's wrong with that one, but something is.

Seriously, the devil is in the details. I suspect you are carefully selecting software if you had no incidents of pukeyness with 50 people.

You keep insisting, not only in this article but also in other Stingray-related /. articles, that the NTIA allows the Feds to do whatever they want radio-spectrum-wise

I have said no such thing. In fact, whenever people like you try to twist what I've actually said into this lie, I've corrected you in public.

Once again, I find myself wasting time responding to people who either cannot understand the difference between "not subject to FCC rules" and "not subject to any rules", or who deliberately ignore the difference so they can lie about what I've said.

There you go again, trying to sidetrack and obfuscate the central issue. Neither the NTIA nor any other federal law or regulation allows Stingrays to be legally used in the manner that law enforcement has used them. That's why Stingray use by LE has been so secretive in the first place.

The fact is that the US government has been taken over by fascist oligarchs who wipe their asses with the Constitution, Civil Rights, Due Process, and Rule of Law, thus it is no longer the legitimate government of the US and has exactly the same type of authority that the Crips and Bloods have in L.A.. The power of fear, guns, and violence.

The US Government has slowly over the decades morphed to an ongoing organized criminal enterprise.

I played descent to the end on a monitor. Descent II was disorienting and pukey as hell on the VFX1. It's 3d did work well.

In particular, I wonder how they'll handle Global Warming / Climate Change discussions.

That's a simple one. There's not really a dispute there.

Q.E.D.

There is nothing there or in the NTIA that allows law enforcement agencies to violate FCC rules, especially without a warrant. Please point out the specific law that, in your opinion, authorizes such activities by law enforcement.

And even if such interference was allowed, that still does not invalidate 4th Amendment protections both for the intended targeted individual(s) nor the innocent people in the area whose civil rights are violated in the course of Stingray use.

While I know it would never happen, I would love to see the FCC get involved in this. Spectrum is kinda their domain

But the FBI use of spectrum is not.

You keep insisting, not only in this article but also in other Stingray-related /. articles, that the NTIA allows the Feds to do whatever they want radio-spectrum-wise which simply and plainly is not the case.

I have to wonder if either you're that stubborn & obtuse, or do you get paid to shill?

Clearly didn't work out too well for this guy.

2) NTIA may well help manage spectrum, and the Feds certainly can use their reserved spectrum however they wish. But that does not grant them immunity to use any spectrum they wish, however they wish. Carriers (and their customers) have paid dearly for that spectrum which gives it many of the characteristics of private property. There certainly is a well-established expectation of privacy. (This is supposed to be a nation of laws not lawmen.)

Current 2d treadmills are just slippery surfaces and socks.

Think about making a treadmill that lets you move in two directions. It would have to be a 3 story 'mouse ball' with only a small relatively flat part exposed on top, Mass of the ball would make the whole thing impossible, not just uneconomic.

Raises hand.

I mostly got over motion sickness with my old VFX1. Never for Descent II though. It is about software more then anything. Up should remain up. Heli and driving sims work pretty good. Fixed wing less so. 3d shooters are OK but the devil is in the details.

In my experience the DK2 is no better then the VFX1 for motion sickness (Both working side by side). When the VFX1 shipped it was terrible, but once the VFX1 was running on a GHz processor and refreshing at 200fps, which is much faster then it's old interleaved 30Hz screen, it became OK.

The problem people working the motion sickness problem face is they are naturally being desensitized. So whatever they think will help with nausea does.

That said: I never get motion sick IRL. VR has mostly been no big issue. Two exceptions: Descent II (VFX1) and Alien Isolation (DK2, I have no explanation for why Alien Isolation is so bad, but it's very pukey. Still not hours for recovery, but 15 minute gaming limit.)

As sarcasm goes, this is pretty crude and clumsy.

Is this StingRay thing even FCC licenced? What about the operators?

Looks like it performs indiscriminate MiTM attacks. Particularly egregious, since it could probably be tuned with software to only intercept those EEIDs for which a warrent was issued.

No time for a warrent? Then how did the device magically appear on-scene? It was called-out, and so could a warrent be.

Given the neighborhood and Iran's intent to make their own nukes, can you blame them?

...so who would they sell the tech to? Sometimes it makes no sense to bother with something when you're not liable to violate its precepts.

Maybe, but that would depend on the location, timing and distribution of those explosions. If the balloon went up in 1987, yeah, the human race would pretty much be fscked. Nowadays, I'm not so sure that would be a given, considering that a not-insignificant percentage of those weapons would be destroyed in their silos, are undergoing maintenance at any given time, would fail to detonate completely or cleanly, or a whole host of other factors (and if either the US or Russia abstain from the exchange, then all bets are off as to the doomsday factor entirely.)
