Comment Re: !14 is smaller than 93,884,313,611 (Score 5, Informative) 108

Or, altenatively, you're an idiot.

Not because you misunderstood, but because you didn't even consider that you might have misunderstood.

14! is the total number of permutations, but each permutation contains 14 items, so you should be comparing the new lower bound - 93,884,313,611 - with 14 * 14!, which is 1,220,496,076,800.

Comment It had better NOT function like that (Score 1) 33

It functions like Motion Smoothing for TV

I hope not, because that will introduce additional lag. TV smoothing needs to know what the next frame is before it can smoothly transition to it. So sure, do it that way if you want make people even more motion sick...

Hopefully what it will do instead is generate the first frame and immediately display it, and instead of rendering the next frame completely, it'll warp the first frame to approximate the geometry of the skipped frame. Pretty sure this was touted as a thing a while ago though.

Comment It is not... what? (Score 5, Insightful) 173

After spending two days at LEAPcon, I feel it is my duty -- in the name of instilling a modicum of sanity into an age where a company that has never actually sold a product to a consumer can be worth a billion dollars more than the entire GDP of Fiji -- to inform you that it is not.

It is not what?

See, this is what happens when you don't have anyone actually editing what gets submitted...

(For anyone who cares the answer is: it is not going to be "huge")
