Comment Re:Hell No Hillary (Score 1) 676

You got an proof with that? Because what I hear is the same old bullshit I've hear republicans say since Clinton was in office.

This bit of information came to the public's attention because of a Democrat. Dick Morris spilled the beans when the Clinton's let him get pilloried in the court of public opinion.

And I don't actually care much, because the sex shit with Clinton was no fucking big deal at all, it's like when you are arguing with someone and they start picking on your grammar.

Of course you don't care. No one who cares about decency or the rule of law would consider voting for Hillary. It's nothing like picking apart someone's grammar. Hillary Clinton was involved with denying due process and justice to women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

You have nothing else on the Clintons, 'cept this one minor sex shit and it's blown out of proportion.

One?
Minor?
Out of proportion?

Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick. Bill Clinton sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey. Bill Clinton sexually harassed Paula Jones.

When deposed in Paula Jones's civil case, he committed perjury. He instructed people that if they lied, the investigators would have nothing. He suborned perjury. He committed Obstruction of Justice. These are all felonies that would get you or me incarcerated.

Fuck, the VP is way the fuck more creepy then Clinton ever was, at least Clinton has the decency to not hit on women during their husbands speech.

You call it decency for Bill Clinton to grope Kathleen Willey's breast and forcibly put her hand on his penis while her husband's dead body was being recovered?

Joe Biden is a crazy asshole but he's nowhere near Bill Clinton in terms of sleaze.

I don't care about Bill Clinton's consensual sex life.

I'm not talking about Monica.

I'm talking about Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, not to mention the other women who recanted their allegations after Hillary's forces put pressure on them.

She victimized women who were assaulted by her husband.

That's far worse than Bill's hanky-panky with an intern.

By all means, you may vote for whomever you choose but please don't lie about it.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians who has ever been on the national scene. Her job during her husband's administration was to orchestrate the harassment and character assassination of the women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

Tiny LIDAR Chip Could Add Cheap 3D Sensing to Cellphones and Tablets 62

There are expensive dedicated devices that do 3D scanning (like the high-end tablet in Google's Project Tango), and versatile but bulky add-ons, like the Sense from 3D Systems, but it's not a capability built into the typical cellphone or tablet. That could change, thanks to a microsensor being prototyped now (at low resolution) at CalTech. From The Verge's coverage: The tiny chip, called a nanophotonic coherent imager, uses a form of LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technology to capture height, width, and depth information from each pixel. LIDAR, which shines a laser on the target and then analyzes the light waves that are reflected back to the sensor, are best known for their use in precision-guided missile systems and self-driving cars.

While LIDAR itself isn't new, [project lead Ali] Hajimiri explains that "by having an array of tiny LIDARs on our coherent imager, we can simultaneously image different parts of an object or a scene without the need for any mechanical movements within the imager." Each "pixel" on the new sensor can individually analyze the phase, frequency, and intensity of the reflected waves, producing a single piece of 3D data. The data from all of the pixels combined can produce a full 3D scan. In addition, the researchers' implementation allows for an incredibly tiny and low-cost scanner, all while maintaining accuracy. According to the researchers, the chip can produce scans that are within microns of the original.

So many assumptions, so little reality.

So you've the ability to give away money at work for such non-work related things? Do please share where you work.

not obnoxious,

By whose/what standard? It's always fun discovering in a widely localized product what seems benign to one culture is horrible to another.

not going to get in anyone's way, etc.

So you can guarantee that for all users and use cases?

Customers like easter eggs.

Which customers are these? Those buying your 99 cent mobile app? Those buying a 50 dollar shrink wrapped or downloaded desktop app? Or those buying multi-thousand dollar enterprise systems?

Assuming the software is generally high quality, they're amusing, minor diversions that add a little fun for the users as well as the programmers.

Again, that depends on who your customer is and what their attitude is to unknown things being discovered in the software that was not documented and was not part of the RFP or compliance documentation.

What you see as a cute dancing frog or "Hello from the developers", some customers see as a sign of shoddy quality control and the possibility of backdoors.

A more intelligent person than the AC who said:

LOL. Which idiot wrote this summary? There were no "graphics on computers" before 1990 then?

There were cars before the Ford Model-T, would you claim that Ford did not user in the era of the horseless carriage?

There were electric cars before the Toyota Prius, but would you claim that Toyota did not user in the era of the electric car?

Ushering in the era doesn't mean you are first, but that you are the most effective/impactful.

By your logic, it should not be said that Apple ushered in the era of the smartphone or tablet, plenty of companies had them before... yet Apple was the first to get it right and establish broad appeal.

Just? Volume enterprise licensing in some form has been around for quite some time, under it you can deploy whatever supported version Windows or Office or other licensed software you like.

Office 365 is the only real new thing as it makes process a little more visible as an individual can sign up for a individual subscription as well.
