Comment Re:4D? (Score 1) 117

And I'll be impressed when medical projections get 3d models and not a 2d representation of a "4d" model.

See where I'm going with this? Just because the data exists doesn't make it unique.

Rendering technology is waiting for the next generation of consoles. Devs are scared of doing pc-exclusive "super-graphics" because it will be PC-only and that market is mired in doubt of piracy and confusing sales numbers thanks to the myriad of digital options which aren't listed in the regular sales numbers.

Nothing radical will happen in the near-future apart from input methods such as Oculus Rift.

It highly depends what country you're in; One of the things that prolongs the adjustment to daylight savings time is the lack of sun. The body is made to wake at dawn. As a result people who live in countries such as Norway (minimal amount of daylight during the winter) have a harder time adjusting.

Out of scientific curiosity, where do you live?

High friction surface which requires constant work and they want to paint it in temperature sensitive markings which will get covered in sot and worn down in a heartbeat? Prolonging any and all road maintenance.

Why not just have a sign painted in the same material which does the same job, except you can actually see it a lot easier?

I do like the idea of glow in the dark roads for increased visibility, but not for reading the temperature.

This is true in some cases, but it's not always the best way. Look at Prohibition, it was repealed after large groups of people created organizations that publicly protested the law and eventually they were convinced that there was a better way to deal with alcohol (including taxation).

Look at the war on drugs in America. Are all those people in jail serving a purpose for deliberately disobeying the law? Has anything changed since it started?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wonder if there are better ways than trying to run an underground law-breaking revolution that nobody knows about.
