Children spend their entire lives receiving a different image in the left eye than the right eye. How can that have an impact on the growth of their eyes?

From TFA:

This is not only false, but illogical as well. The whole purpose of having two eyes at different locations is to see two different images at once and see 3D. Showing the eyes two different images is exactly what should be happening. The problem is actually with the fact that a 3D video will have arbitrarily-selected and static areas of focus, while human eyes typically handle the focusing on their own. Because of this, uninformed people will watch the movie and accidentally (and usually repeatedly) try to change their focus and strain their eyes because the image does not change focus at all. If people would understand this and focus solely on what the video is focusing on, they typically wouldn't get headaches, provided the shuttering/refresh rate is also suitable.

I recently decided to explain this to my friends, and all of a sudden two of my friends who always had headaches after 15 minutes were able to watch a full movie, with off-the-shelf consumer 3D technology nonetheless. Go ahead; try it - just make a conscious effort to not focus on anything except what the video is focused on and watch the eye strain nearly disappear.

You know, it's sad that people like you will soon be extinct and the next generation won't understand what they missed out on. I, for one, will relay the stories.

Would someone with a higher level of intelligence please reply to this particular thread of comments? First I said, "Go Fred!" then "Nevermind, Go Poptones!" then I said, "Wait, Go Fred again!" then I finished with, "Ouch, touche, Bickerdyke!" and "Hey RightSaidFred99, what do you think?"

There's no virus; the vulnerability that would likely be exploited for such a virus has been fixed for the most part anyway. The file is simply a book by Andrew Macdonald, called the "Turner Diaries" -- extremist right-wing propaganda about the white supremacist and militia movements taking over the US and leading to nuclear war within the US, destroying much of it. The book is set up by finding the diaries of a leader named Earl Turner 100 years after the war.

*article-whoosh!*

Actually, considering this is /., I'm not even surprised.

An unauthorized disclosure should not make the information unclassified. Over 6.7 billion unauthorized disclosures, on the other hand, means that there is no choice but to declassify the information.

If you can think of a logical reason why information would remain classified after being provided to anyone in the world, I would love to hear it.

By posting the classified information in a place where the entire human race can view it, it is inherently unclassified. What exactly is classified material? I assumed classified material was named as such because the military/government requires that those viewing it have a certain classification; the leaked cables no longer require any type of special classification to access, so they are essentially unclassified.

I tried really hard to determine what Touhou is but couldn't figure it out. Care to elaborate?

Nope, never watched Al Jazeera, just assumed their spin (as a national news source) would be similar to the US, only opposite.

A 'solar shield' could be created by simply using shielding materials on every power point that would be affected: transformers, the stations themselves, at the source, etc. Launch a giant project to shield the most vulnerable points in the power-grid to hopefully minimize the damage of a seemingly inevitable catastrophe. With all of the money thrown around in Washington D.C., it seems like a reasonable expense.

People may oppose it for financial reasons, but if the expected solar storm does occur, people will be very thankful that their country was shielded.

How did you even come close to thinking that 200,020,000 is anywhere close to ~7,000,000,000? There are ~310,000,000 people in the US alone.

Simple: Al Jazeera would be looking to spin the story against the USA, whereas ABC would be more likely to spin it in favor of the USA. Therefore, I used ABC in an attempt to potentially lowball the estimate and not piss people off via exaggeration.

Supposedly the documents show that the actual deathtoll for the Iraq War is over 105,000. Nearly 70,000 of these casualties were civilians. The documents reportedly also tell about incidents of torture by coalition forces, and of civilians being killed at checkpoints (for speeding to get their wife to the hospital). There is an incident described where a single terrorist on the roof of a building caused the military to obliterate the entire building and everyone in it (civilians). It also reports 15,000 bodies being buried without being identified.

Holy Apples-to-Oranges, Capppman!
