Comment Re:It's not true 3D (Score 1) 436

Most people get headaches because their eyes can not focus properly on the generated images. Eye muscle health plays a huge role in both comfort and the ability to see 3D. To compensate for "normal" eye damage they can use faster frame rates, reduced depth, and high color separation. There are many studies on this, remember that stereo viewing goes back 30+ years. Longer if you count the old analogue systems. (Analogue is the old cardboard glasses with red and blue plastic lenses).

3D with Red/Blue glasses is not "Analog", Its an "Anaglyph".

Submission + - GIF Becomes Word Of The Year 2012 (i-programmer.info) 2

mikejuk writes: GIF started out as a humble acronym 25 years ago, entered common parlance as the format used for web graphics and now achieves fame as a verb by becoming Oxford Dictionaries USA Word of the Year 2012. GIF as a noun has always been an all-capital letter noun. Becoming a verb has caused problems concerning the use of capital and lower case letters. The common form is to keep the noun in caps and add the verbal endings in lower case — as in GIFed,GIFing), However, an all lower-case spelling with the f duplicated (giffed, giffing) is also being used.

Submission + - Hard Disk capacity set to increase up to five times (technologyreview.com)

Dupple writes: A technique that enables the nanopatterned layers that store data in hard disk drives to assemble themselves has been improved to better suit mass production, and could enable disks that store five times as much data as the largest available today.

Using self-assembly instead of machines that print or etch out features has long been considered a potential solution to a looming barrier to expanding the capacity of hard-disk designs. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have now worked out a solution to a problem that made self-assembly incompatible with existing factories.

Comment Re:recovering an RFC 1149 "lost packet"??? (Score 1) 287

England, as you may be aware, is often cold. A bird could easily decide to perch next to a chimney to keep warm. It then passes out from carbon monoxide inhalation, and topples into the chimney, where it becomes lodged.

But then the fireplace was never used again . . . which is odd . . .
