You are so confused about how hard it is to make a gun.
I would hardly call 10^43 FPS "infinite"
That's kind of the point. Unless you think you will make enough money in the next 10 years to justify paying 10% of everything you've made, you aren't going to renew.
Alternatively, creators that think they will be selling forever can just roll the cost in ahead of time, which will allow other creators(e.g. DJs, fan-works) that don't care about the long term can discount their works and sell more on the short term.
So get one of these and enjoy your shoulder and back pain.
Mary Gates was on the board of United Way with John Opel, chairman of IBM. Microsoft had been trying to sell a port of Unix called Xenix(because they couldn't use Unix as the name). That same year, IBM then hired Microsoft to develop a CP/M clone, which Microsoft bought 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products and rebranded MS-DOS/PC-DOS.
Oddly enough, IBM didn't own it, only licensed it, allowing Microsoft to become huge.

Sounds like your boss needs to give you a door that locks and a broken phone.
So it is a crappy version of CAVE except with a TV display in it to show better quality images?
If the projected screen size is greater than 45", it should be noticeable at 6-8'. If it is greater than 75", it should be obvious. You're right for 4k screens at "normal" sizes, though.
I have some scifi books from the 50s that have cardboard inserts with cigarette ads. I wonder why books stopped having advertisements for other products in them.
And, of course, most books still have advertisements for other books on the inside and back cover.
Since publishers switched to the agency model, whenever I found an ebook priced higher than the print price, I added it to a "stupid publisher" wishlist. Some have dropped off when prices changed or I decided to buy them anyway, but last I checked, buying ebook version of all 342 of them, it would be about $1400 more.
Some of the prices were clearly higher because the publisher was too lazy to lower the ebook from hardback pricing when the paperback came out.
Most, though, were 9.99 and, more recently, 12.99, which is just a blatant "we're screwing you and we want you to know it". I look forward to authors getting the higher ebook royalty rate when those books drop down to paperback price and I subsequently purchase them.
Funny, the second bullet point here says that sometimes more than one person can be assigned the same SSN.
So instead of rust it will be "oh, looks like you've got termites in the bodywork. Might as well chop it up for firewood."
Am I sane and in command of my senses? Then I'll live at least 1030 years(want to see the next millenium) and enjoy my painful hackjob robot body with jump jets and autocannons.
