Wait, what? Which side are you on again? I don't want an America with death camps - not even for simpering wimps who care not about their freedom.

That would depend, a lot, on where you end up but your first stop will be a detention center for classification and that will be unlikely to be a nice place. (23 hour lock down, that sort of thing.) Some folks probably get to skip that but those people have more prestige and money than this guy.

They will just hire more. You don't really think there's a shortage of folks willing to be abusive jack-booted thugs, do you?

I haven't had any troops quartered in my home and I have a big place actually. I could fit some bunks and stuff but I'm keeping my network locked down, don't want 'em looking up porn and slowing my torrents down.

But, anyhow, I don't recall having that one violated though I have to wonder with the police as militarized as they are what we might think about recent events in Boston area.

You might want to review this one with a lawyer. Really... Your lawyer can't tell you to lie. Your lawyer can't even KNOW you're going to lie or that you are lying. Again, if your lawyer asks if you're guilty of the crime (they won't) fire them.

If your lawyer asks you if you committed the crime then fire them. Go on, ask me how I know this... (No, don't really ask. It's a good story but too long to type and you wouldn't actually read it anyhow.)

Wait a minute...

They have ads on the internet?

Add to your list of things to know - "AdBlock Plus" and you should at least be able to ignore that they're tracking you and make your choices on your own.

Which is amusing, really. Science if often (and kind of predicated on) wrong. Hell, just a couple of months ago they found a new layer in the human eyeball. You'd think we'd have that one worked out already. Anyhow, those same folks would be advocating the humors or phlogiston not that long ago and just as convinced that they're right. (Sorry if this offends anyone but, well, 'tis true.)

Don't look to me for answers, I don't know.

Best non-car analogy on /. ever.

I have to wonder what these comments would have been like had /. been around during WWII... I am not entirely sure what I think of what I think it would be like.

As someone who has had a NDE I can quite affirmatively inform you that, well, I saw nothing but felt incredibly peaceful. As if all was well and I was content. I've looked forward to death since. The experience was from an overdose. They estimate 2-3 minutes of cardiac arrest. Yes, I retained my full faculties afterwards, no I still use. In fact I use more. Death is kind of an inviting place really as near as I can tell. It was... Hmm... Nothing but tranquility and rest. No worries, no thoughts, no nothing. Just gone. Of course that could also have been the H.

Oh, I knew they could extract (very limited) parallax information from the plenoptic image data, I just didn't know they had coded that into their software (they didn't have it the last time I checked, they were only doing refocusing).

You could... if your lens was about the size of a galaxy. ;-)

I stand corrected. Last time I'd checked out their software all it could do was refocus. Once they finally support simultaneous refocusing and wiggling (which is technically possible, by limiting the amount of each)... their cameras will still be just as useless.

No, it isn't. The only information you can get is the one from the light hitting the lens. That's effectively limited to parallax information between the edges of the lens (in reality, less than that, but let's pretend). In other words, as I wrote above, "unless the lens is wider than the distance between two eyes, you can't really use this to create realistic stereoscopic images at a macroscopic scale".
