YA RLY

So, what your saying is it's a fad and not worth investing in, and someday it will take off and just work... without anyone trying it? Will a new company, technology, and manufacturing just suddenly spring up out of the earth one day, and everyone looks over and says "Ah, look. VR is ready."

When you call watches outdated, you miss one segment of the population that is small (but probably disproportionately represented here). Yes, most people have replaced watches with phones, but there are some jobs and areas where phones are either heavily frown on or outright banned. This is a niche that still needs to be filled.

The 'Warp Drive' claims come from (and I don't have the article I saw it in in front of me) a statement that they found some odd readings that seemed to match what they would expect from space being warped. That's all the scientists said.

The full article is pretty much more of the same. It also has a decent sized section about net neutrality breaking things like video streaming because ISPs will have to treat video packets the same as email packets. I have never actually heard this argument except by people who were against net neutrality...

In all honesty, while there are plenty of good reasons to dislike drones, I think this is a terrible one. You're worried that drones would allow them perfect enforcement of laws? How is this a bad thing exactly?

Worst case I can think of is that they are enforcing bad laws in which case right now they might slip by because "no one ACTUALLY pays that fee!" except that a widely ignored but still on the books law is unfair to anyone who actually does follow it, or leaves it as an opening to target a person who hasn't done anything else wrong.

Didn't you hear? There was dihydrogen monoxide in their system as well. We should look into its link to violent crimes...

It depends on the goal. As an experiment in how much money a site would earn by this system? Yeah, won't be too useful. There is other information you can get, however. It could show people how much they would spend in that situation. This could make people who say 'No way would I do that' look back and see they wouldn't actually spend all that much. On the other hand, a proponent might see how much he would spend, and realize the idea may be unworkable. This information can be valuable in itself.

Posting to undo mod. Modded based on your incorrect info, but then you had to go and be all decent and correct yourself.

Depends on how you look at it, really. How is video games so different from imagination games, just with a audiovisual element to it? Sure, there isn't any imagery of blood, but even children without computers play cops and robbers, or army man, using the fingers for guns if nothing else is around. I think video games may just be a small evolution of things that are brains are wired to do.

And if you think most people who enjoy video games NEED to sit in front of a screen to feel normal, you obviously have no clue about the people you are passing judgement on.

You kind of miss the point with that line about every employment contract having that line. His point was that there is no inherent patent transfer to employer. In fact, if he was wrong, why would contracts say it?

This is kind of situational. Overall, I would agree with what you say, but there are some limits. For example, say I have a subscription to a business. It has always had great service and customer service, and I've been with them for years. Then their data center or whatever gets hit by an earthquake, but they assure me they will be back up soon. You feel I should cut my subscription and go with a random other business I've never used, just because my preferred company is offline briefly?

Actually, you seem to have completely missed the point. First two you got, but the point of the article was that when we are in somewhat of a hurry, we don't speedwalk/semirun, as one might expect. We mix walking and running, which is more efficient.

Except you missed the point by looking for "Gun Crime" vs. "Violent Crime". If someone is killed, does it really matter what weapon was used to do it? So even if the US has more gun crime, if OVERALL violent crime is lower...

Note: I don't have the statistics, I don't know what the overall crime rate is, just that parent missed the point with his response.
