Truly remarkable.
How did they do it?

But if he says it's new it must be new. Then again he also talks about robots climbing things in space.

The scientific accuracy of nonsense effects and pure speculation by star wars clearly trumps that of star trek.

It would feel like being cut to shreds, clearly.

Must... construct... additional...

ARRGGHH

Ah, the futility of attempting to equate money with any kind of tangible object.

Nobody knows. It's why they're doing this research.

Barring any silly technical glitches, I don't see any particular reason it should be very dangerous.

The technology in ghost in the shell is quite a bit more advanced.
Full body prosthesis > arms that turn into guns.

The real performance boost comes from higher capacity drives. If you want fast, just get two.

Oh wait..

At least try and make some fucking sense.

Fairly static? What is that even supposed to mean? They take the same amount of graphical processing as any other part of the game.

The summary makes it sound like the guy may have been intruding in on a conversation between a cop and someone else, or some such. Hardly wiretapping, but could potentially aggravate the cop into arresting him.

The video makes it clear that wasn't the case though. Not only was it first-person, it was also being recorded for a completely different purpose and just happened to catch the cop.

I hope they're not trying to suggest that it's illegal to video tape anything in public ever because a cop might show up.

Even a cheap sham can be entertaining.
Entertaining people isn't very hard.

A program capable of "making informed guesses based on context" seems perfectly plausible, though that's not part of speech recognition per se.

How will we get our water if the glaciers melt?!

Oh, wait...

The use of realid is optional. There was a brief period during the beta where they removed unique identifiers, forcing people to share email addresses, but it's no more.
