I can *see* the 3-D but it does not "immerse" me any more than 2-D. It doesn't *wow* me either, and it seems 3-D is just a whiz-bang gizmo to sell pricier tickets. IMHO, of course.
Um. I recommend the plug-in "Flash Block". Or something similar. I never get "automagically starting" videos. So I was confused by this thread at first...
Mmmmm. Library Paste. Brings back those childhood memories.
I am paying for 16/9 and getting 4/4. After repeatedly complaining, having them troubleshoot their hardware, et. Al, they have PROMISED to check the "neighborhood node", replace the immediate (in my neighbors back yard) node, as well as the routing servers, and given me $20/month credit for 6 months. Of course they haven't replace or repaired any of the nodes (the one in my neighbors yard looks like someone took a baseball bat to it), but I have received the credit. So I'm all for letting the FCC enforce quoted speeds for ISPs. And NO, I cannot use anything other than cable because the DSL node is too far away, I don't get GSM coverage at my home, and SkyBeam is too unreliable here. No other choice except dial-up or buying my own pipe.
Ahhh, the Classic Songs of Dennis Leary.
Geekiness in the science/IT field is often a trait of intelligent people, but Intelligence does not REQUIRE Geekiness. Husband-man is very intelligent (and smart) - but due to very severe dyslexia and the UK school system "fell through the cracks" (they tested him in order to send him to the "special" school, but found out his IQ was higher than all the test givers LOL), but did get his degree in Science in his 30s
Some of us feme slashdotters have non-geek husbands too
Whomever came up with the poll options must be a home-body who knows no one who lives more than a few miles from their home. Mine came out ~1x10^6
I got a graduate degree in Health Physics (Nuclear Janitor - a relative of Unclear Physics) back in the early 90's - and ended up in IT because there were NO jobs. So does that mean I can actually work in the field for which I was trained?
The technology is there. But I wonder: will they have to modify the software at NORAD to take into account Big Objects that get transmuted to A Bunch Of Little Objects? I am a geek: I'm thinking about software updates.
