Sure. I could, of course, always be wrong about what the general public will prefer. I've just experienced having a movie character burp over my shoulder and sneeze in my face, and while the gimmick is funny for a few minutes, it was not something I'd want to subject myself to for hours.
But yeah that's just me.
No love for the Iron Man series? I'll admit it, I love 'em.
They do this at Disney for a few shows. It's fun for those goofy little features, but I honestly can't see myself choosing to watch a good movie this way.
I wouldn't be surprised if this gets used as a modest, but entirely negotiable bartering chip towards gun banning, since all of those bills recently failed.
Indeed. And I'd think everyone would realize that a $100 bet for Stephen Hawking is not an "all in" proposition, meant to force a weak position.
It's obviously just the sort of more-or-less inconsequential thing they do for giggles.
this generation doesn't care to preserve the freedom of others in using their computers, the way Stallman wanted
You can complain all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of people want their code to be more open and available than gpl allows, when they think it's appropriate. That their decision.
What exactly would be the outcome of a "GPL-only" world?
A world with less freedom than a world where we can choose the license we want? Why are you so upset by people doing what they want with their own work?

More details at both. I'm thinking it'll be fun to catch some of the packets as they fly by.
Slashdot was uncharacteristically quick about that one.
I guess Twitter broke the news a full 15 minutes before CNN did. But as a friend put it, social media is absolutely unmatched at breaking the news... but it's a clusterfuck after the first 10 minutes.
Take us back a few years, and the folks at NORAD were learning about 9/11 from CNN.
It used to be you could switch from the immediate source over to the real news to get real, confirmed information. All the news outlets did this time was repost tragedy porn and random tweets. I saw a lot of just wrong info on all the news outlets.
Tech sites, though... they just can't pass on the buffet of page views.
To be fair, it's obviously not even close to the augmented reality demos we're all used to, so it doesn't have to be much more.
I mean, how amazing does the display have to be to show a small little box that says, "Your friend is calling."
If it were supposed to change my movie watching world, or overlay amazon prices on everything in the pantry as you look up and down, it'd have to be doing retina projection or cover your whole face. Nobody was going to bring that to market for $1500.
So yeah, it's to augmented reality what the VirtualBoy was to virtual reality.
This madness with Unity I never have understood, it seems like Canonical decided to merge the desktop and tablet together and I can't deal with the mess.
Sound familiar?
Wow, you got just about all of it. Also, that might rank up among the most level-headed comments in a potentially disastrous thread, ever. (insert
Nicely done. Really.
Damn you. I'm still missing "synergistic".
4) It is not clear if credit cards were compromised or not. While this "ryan" guy claims they were, we won't know unless the list is published or Linode admits to it.
Yeah all I saw was this:
05:42 [that ryan guy] credit cards were encrypted, sadly both the private and public keys were stored on the webserver so that provides 0 additional security
Though I've been unable to find any specific proof regarding CC#'s. A directory listing for a management console doesn't worry me so much as being able to decrypt cc's.
I guess people will have to wait to hear from linode.
Or a gas line lit up and vented in two different locations. Wait and see, no point in speculating.
That was my initial thought. Sounds like they located two devices though, and are looking for a third.
