I saw the notification yesterday and thought that I had some kind of malware. There's no record of it in the update history either, which would have been helpful.

I'm still pretty irritated that the update was installed without my knowledge, since I depend on my computer to be stable for my day to day work and can't afford any downtime with a botched update (which has happened before).

This ain't even a joke. My "Boy Love" fanatic ex also thought it was okay to have videos of 12 year old boys showering and hugging inappropriately, all the while blaming anyone unfortunate enough to be male for starting at her nearly exposed breasts, and calling every regretful sexual encounter "rape". The feminist double standards have really gone too far, affected the minds of girls who are now young adults, and have begun to remove all safe spaces for men to be themselves. Speaking out against this gets you labelled as a misogynist without further discussion leaving many men without a voice, which is the actual definition of oppression.

What's interesting is that it's marketed as a "PlayStation" product when they could have tied their television service to, you know, the televisions that they are known for.

That is what SteamOS is really about. The current consoles are nothing but restricted PCs with slower hardware, locked down (mandatory paid) online and hellish certification requirements. In a couple of years, a "Steam Console" will be quite attractive to consumers an developers and they will never need to know that it is running Debian Linux.

When the Retina enhanced redesign of iOS was released (iOS 7), the majority of products being sold had Retina displays. Now, only two very high end models of their Macs have Retina displays. Really, they should have waited until they had "mainstream" Retina Macs before changing the fonts, like they did with the iPhone and iPads.

> "Iterate in the living room"... I love marketing-speak. I took that to mean that we won't be stuck on the same spec hardware for 6-7 years, like the current gen consoles have been.

Why do people forget that Windows XP was buggy, slow and insecure until SP2?

Qt is easily the best toolkit and api I've ever worked with. I've been saying for a while that Gnome 3 should ditch gtk and switch to Qt, and not just so that apps will look/feel better in another environment.

The pages that are there are complete chapters and I'm happy with them. The "incomplete" parts of the books are pages that don't exist yet. Good luck getting those deleted!

Wikipedia? I mostly just correct a few things here and there. Wikibooks? I've started 2 whole books from scratch, each with dozens of pages...

Both are incomplete, I'll get round to completing them when I can.

Thank you, I forgot that this is probably the most annoying thing for me when watching 3D films! When the viewer is free to change their focus, don't mess with depth of field effects, forcing them to keep a certain focus. It feels like being short sighted again!

Fair enough, I guess I can only say with 100% certainty that the Imax cinema in Waterloo, London uses linear polarization. I've recently done some work on various stereoscopic viewing methods, so I am very confident that I can tell different types apart.

And you're right, I noticed especially on scenes where the objects were meant to be "in front" of the screen, things did seem pretty disorientating. Luckily, I had a decent seat, so it wasn't all that bad.

You said exactly what I meant. My post is pretty unclear, now that I've read it again. Sorry about that.

Whenever I see ads for 3D films (especially re-releases of 2d films), I do shake my head a little, but I also like the fact that the industry are finding some way to provide something that can't be found at home. And also I noticed a recent film ad (Nanny McPhee, I think) mentioned that the film will be launched in 15 countries simultaneously, which is one of the reasons people prefer to just pirate. Problem is, however, we will all have our own stereoscopic television sets soon enough..

I've seen Avatar twice (both times were because someone else wanted me to accompany them when they went to see it). Once in a regular theatre, and the second time in an Imax theatre.

I got headaches only with the Imax version because of the linear polarization which meant if my head was tilted even slightly to the side, there would be ghosting. The cheapo cinema used circular polarization, which was more comfortable and caused me no eye strain at all. Perhaps something similar happened to you?
