The following is missing from the list:

Depending on the situation, my decisions span between both extremes inclusively.

yeah, that's all I wanted to know.

For movies, the angle of the cameras is fixed on a certain point in the scene so if you only ever look at the point the cameras were focussed on then it will seem more real.

If you look around the scene, the effect is not real and there will be subtle differences which explains the nausea for a lot of people.

I've seen 3d movies since the mod 90's and played 3d games since the geforce 256. For games, I've noticed that it's only good for racing games where the eyeball angle is fixed mostly at a very far point down the road. With shooters, I look around the scene too much and feel that things aren't right, it seems to add latency to my reactions. After about a month of Quake 2 and a few others I had stopped.

What we really need for games is cameras in the glasses that look at where our eyes are looking and adjust the view angles accordingly. For movies, nothing is to be done because not everyone is looking at the same thing.

Advice for people with sensitive reactions to subtle changes in the world that is presented towards them, when watching a 3d movie, try not moving your head and always look where the scene is focussed on. You may be able to watch a little longer.

What MS did with a generally non accessible device (due to price and integration with the current market) to make it 150$ is truly remarkable.

Now if only Apple will come out with the iMadeIt, or the iBuiltIt or iTem or iDontKnowWhatever.

I'm still a huge UT2004 player but did give UT3 a couple of months when it came out and again this summer. I could probably narrow it down to a few reasons why a lot of people didn't enjoy ut3.

It's mostly dark pastel colours and looks more like a movie (which is what you don't want when you interact with an environment, but is what you want when being told a story... I don't need blur in a game, when I turn quickly, my eyes already blur natually because things are moving quickly [who even thought of putting blur in an fps... duh!]).

With all this blur and dark shading of every colour, you don't get a larger view in your environment and feel a little more alone even when on a team... or standing right next to someone.

When you're in a vehicle the camera view is too close to the vehicle. What the hell!

And my biggest peeve is that the game just feels slower. No double jumping.

Anyways, I'm one of those who has given pretty much every fps that's come out in the last 3 years a real try (at least 20-30 hours) and have not found one that's got something to entice me, in fact they're all going in the wrong direction... slow and blind.

I'm still open to try new ones anytime they come out and always keep my hopes up. But UT3 was the last time that I buy a game before I try it.

I know a lot of people answered about the sqrt, but I'm still trying to understand why it's ok to start with this:

i^2 = -1 (definition of i)

if you want to let everyone know the definition of i then shouldn't it be alone on one side? It looks like you have not defined i to begin with.

If I was a phone designer, reading this I would assume that I can install a realtime OS on the third core to perform phone and system management related functions, and use the other 2 cores for the user OS to run the UI and all the apps. With a well developed system, these are the features this chip could allow: - the user OS could reboot/freeze/crash and you can still make calls or stay on the line with the current call. - you could be down to the last couple of minutes of battery life, and decide to shut off the user OS and only leave phone functionality on which would stretch that last 3 minutes into another hour (or more, or less). - an app that takes all resources, would not affect phone functionality. - there could be a real separation of data paths between the 2 operating systems (the user OS and the realtime OS) which could protect the realtime OS from viruses (although the separation could prevent certain features. This one could incite interesting discussion). I think this is great product, we are sure to see more development in the industry along these lines.

well I can answer how big the middle is... how big is this internet called the Internet that I have between me and my site? And if you know that then you could probably tell me just about how protected it is too... here's a link that may help find some preliminary info:

Maybe you would prefer this as the summary:

There is an interesting story.

you won't be able to offload much to an "entry-level, integrated graphics chip"... if anything at all.

tall is usually associated with storeys (not stories), but you make a good point that stories are associated with a Library of Congress, the only problem is the math. If tall were out of the picture it sounds like one Library of Congress has 3 stories in it.

depends... need a few more details to know for sure.

how long are you going to be keeping it warm while you're gone for? Or, how much energy is spent keeping it warm while you're gone?

How much energy does it take to get it from cold to warm?

What is the "cold" or outside temperature for these values?

I imagine it's different for every home, and it depends on the temperature outside. Without these values I don't think any yes or no answer should enlighten you.
