Comment Re:Perhaps he sees the writing on the wall in Russ (Score 1) 671

What? You're on crack.

Personally I hope he grabbed the NSA's files on all Congressmen, Judges, DNC and RNC commettee members, the Fortune 400 and members of the last 20 executive branches and their election opponents.

I think if he had that in the hands of 3 to 8 trusted individuals the CIA would have agents surrounding him ready to take a bullet. He'd be safer than the president.

There is no telling what he has in his real insurance file. No doubt it's not as good as I imagine. If he had that data he could walk through NSA headquarters kicking everybody he passed in the balls and have no fear.

You absolutely can change images on a display faster then the display refresh. You just never see all of any images and you typically see some on screen flicker from memory conflicts. Enabling VSynch is the setting that limits frame rate to display refresh rate.

You remain just flat wrong about tech being _capable_ of making VR not pukey. Imagine an experience that would make you puke in real life (say kissing Rosie ODonnell). A perfected VR experience of the same would make you puke.

The key is content. Today the tech is still weak, but content will always be potentially pukey. Don't make a kissing Rosie VR demo.

Link is broken.

I'm talking about yearly peak. In summer you have two typical peaks, noon - 2pm and 5pm-7pm. In winter you have heating peak at night, usually just before dawn.

Places that have an absolute peak in summer are summer daytime peaking, places that have an absolute peak in winter are winter nighttime. Given Finland's latitude I'd be amazed if they were not winter peaking. But it largely depends on how much electric heat they use.

The tea act theoretically made tea cheaper. But it remained illegal for anybody but the English to import tea to the colonies.

The fact the dutch were running tea into America isn't that relevant. They were smuggling and had the only reasonably priced tea anywhere.

The English had constructed a legal monopoly on tea imports and used it to partially fund their empire. Tea at the time was valued at about the price of gold. There is a deep story behind the expression 'the price of tea in China'.
