Think of this like an integral display: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_imaging#Description

Except that instead of using microlenses to bend the rays, they are using the layered screens to produce virtually bent rays. The high FPS is because they can only produce one set of virtually bent rays for any one frame, so they need as many frames as they want points of view. IOW what integral displays need in extra pixels this display needs in extra frames.

To put it another way, this is to integral what parallax is to lenticular.

Actually this makes 3D not suck. This is not at all like the 3D you've seen in your "games, movies and books/comics", this really is more like the 3D you see in real life.

Wireless is inherently more prone to this type of attack because you can listen to it, and if you can listen to it you can try to crack the encryption. With wired connections (we're not only talking about networks here, wireless keyboards too for example) most of the time this is impossible, even if you can somehow get at the wire the chances that no one is going to notice are non-zero. With wireless they can be exactly zero.

In practice not everything that connects wirelessly uses encryption, not everything that uses encryption uses unbreakable encryption, not everything that uses breakable encryption can be retrofitted to use something better - especially if it's a standard - and not everything that uses unbreakable encryption has non-vulnerable users (ie. users ignoring SSL warnings caused by a MITM WiFi hotspot, which has been done, though I don't have the links on hand).

Easier, yes, but the problem with VR headsets besides resolution and image size is that you can't use eye movement, only head. That gets tiresome soon and is somewhat clumsy.

The best is big curved screen, like IMAX dome, or the closest thing you can get to that. Multimonitor angled is the closest most people can get.

In retrospective it doesn't matter, either way theft - the usual criminal purpose of these tools - is more like hunting than it is like killing, and one party of a war spying on another is more like (and often leads to actual) killing, so at any rate the GGP's analogy is backwards.

I personally find the inventor's decision reasonable in this case, though I fear I'm far unqualified to tell wether it's indeed a good decision or not.

Except in this case, unless I'm missing something (is the Syrian government considered better or worse than the activists?), it's the other way around.

You don't have to know each other in real life to have a tight social group. It happens online too.

I'd rephrase it as: "These are not real friends, just people they stumbled upon on the Internet."

I don't use social networks but I have a feeling that's mostly what ends up happening.

For the record, it's also what most current AMD64 implementations support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Architectural_features

I agree with all the points you made, I was merely pointing out the reason this fire is self-sustaining, just as you observed.

Well, many of the ones that are pushing for patents/copyright/IP *are* stupid...

Actually it is a perfectly good argument as far as I'm concerned. I do believe no machine should be patentable. I don't believe the patent system achieves it's supposed goals at all, software or not.

I wasn't. I like my porn to be filmed from a little closer than that.

It's not a race, but it's nice to get to know more about the universe during your lifetime. Someone has to be the first to cross the line, and someone has to pay for it, otherwise science will just come to a standstill.

Well the significant argument in TFS is the idea that the confirmation could have happened a decade ago rather than now, which certainly would've made a difference in the development rate of theoretical physics. "In America" is just a free e-peen extender that comes with it, which CERN just got instead.

Had they not cancelled the Superconducting Super Collider, chances are high they would've also beat Aperture to the Supercolliding Super Button which history proved to be just a logical step away. Oh well. I'm not American anyway, my country didn't lose anything because it's never had anything to being with. Woohoo!
