Comment Re:3d is annoying (Score 1) 404

I was in the same category as you, I bought one on black friday (online ofcourse) due to the great price and I wanted an upgrade from my 24" CRT. The price on it being a HD 240 HZ LED 46" was justifiable enough at $700, but throw in a blue ray/3d player and the fact it was a 3d tv was worth it.

With that said, I only have a handful of 3d movies and I dont have the 3d cable package, but the quality in HD is paying for itself. watching tv in 3d all the time would make your eyes hurt, but its a nice feature to have. People upgrade their computers almost as often as they buy new underwear around here, so for people who buy a new tv once or twice a decade its not a bad investment.

Where does $20 per month come up? The average Chinese wage is something like $20 per day now, certainly at least for College graduates.

Not that I think you're lying, but if you're going to chastise the parent for pulling numbers out of his ass, you really shouldnt pull numbers out of yours.

tl;dr - citation needed.

Also, suicide bombers are rarely repeat offenders so I don't really see how facial recognition would help there.

OMFG, THANK YOU!

I mean, really. This is the true crux of why this sill face recognition is useless. Terrorist train newbies off of the street and throw them into the wild for a ONE time mission. How is face recognition going to catch someone its never seen before???

Lol, you guys are crazy.

I am not endorsing Facebook by any means, but thinking Google will do a better job at managing privacy is baseless. How private is Gmail again? Google may do a better job at presenting a front, but these are all companies with little HONEST interest in your privacy.
