Yeah the full article basically describes it as better filtering from computers to isolate the vocal track, and possibly a better track than was available in 1990. The title is hugely click bait, and he even goes into how deep fakes are not something he's familiar with.

It's a full blown computer with a massive monitor, and 3D space manipulation. Yes it's priced way more than is reasonable but I wouldn't go calling it a glorified 3D TV. You could use it as a glorified 3D TV, but I imagine you could replace your macbook with it easy enough. Attach a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and your can have 3 monitors open anywhere you take your headset and work on files in private. There are a lot of other use cases that we haven't even thought of. If we ever get to wide spread adoption of AR/VR headsets you could do presentations in a room with it. Working on a new building design, put the building in the room scale it up by pinching your fingers and look around a room. For TV you can film in VR, have the whole space around you be part of the show. A whole set surrounding you putting you into the movie completely. You turn into a bystander in ww2, or a holodeck character in Star Trek. There are a lot of cool possibilities just with TV, but that's not what I would primary buy it for anyways(if I could afford it lol).

Yes it's over priced, but it won't be forever. No it's not just a glorified 3D TV.

relative to some other ebook readers, it's not a terrible pricing. I just think it's going to be too limiting to want to use. From what I can see it's still using lenses which would make use outside limited. That and what is the benifit of it over say a kindle, kobo, or other e-ink reader? Privacy? I typically don't have that issue currently with an e-reader. It's an odd niche device. i wish them luck but I don't get it.

Using something like Ubuntu is simple and easy but when you get into 3rd party software you run into issues. While steam has pushed hard for games on linux the support just isn't there for a gamer. The apps and tools for software like Adobe and AutoCad, you just aren't going to get there with Linux today. I think as cloud computing moves along though and you get more software as a service eventually the power of your desktop is not going to be a priority. We already see it with game platforms like stadia, luna, geforce now, just to name a few. There's a high amount of money that can be generated by monthly subscriptions to these platforms.

The future is worse than you think.

There used to be editors that would look over the content before it was on the front. They would fix glaring mistakes and sometimes grammatical issues. I had it done to one of my posts and I was ever grateful. If the system isn't going to allow a time frame for editing after the fact they should go back to reading over things that have high impact on the front page.

I hate that I have to login in order to make the comment section readable. It's my biggest gripe of anything. I used to love this site but with other communities out there this ones has been a solid meh. If it weren't for content more targeted to my interests I'm not sure I would even come by. I really hope they fix some of the problem that I feel that have been around for years.

I thought they had suspected that it will exit the solar system but lost contact with it in 2003. I'll have to look it up and see, I do know that it was set to continue on after we had lost communication and that it has some plaque on it about the human race, it started heading out of the solar system after checking out one or two of the plantes I think it started heading out in the 70's so it could be possible.

I read this and I got chills. This is amazing to think that we, even if we ourselves physically have done it have left our solar system. This to me is my moon landing I can't wait to hear what they find once they pass the bubble shell.

actually on that note you brought up something I had completely forgot about. He does have 2 kids... this is what his son Nick did recently.. http://www.squidoo.com/nick-simmons-art-thief http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?101682-Nick-Simmons-Incarnate-swipes-Tite-Kubo-s-Bleach&highlight=simmons thought someone here might find that interesting....

I got all excited when I bought my first place 2 years ago. The place wasn't well taken care of and when I was fixing it up I put in a bunch of CFL's for my place. But it just didn't seem right, seriously. My wife in her work space was getting annoyed with the lighting so finally I had some old bulbs laying around and I popped them in, she noticed a difference before I even told her that I had changed them. I still want to use CFL's so I have them pretty much everywhere, except in places that I will be reading. This seems to be a good combo for the most part.

So reasoning here is this, I might have got a lower end CFL or a shotty product, but then I have to ask you, did you ever get a bad colour or light coming from an incandescent bulb? I've bought cheap ones all over the place and never had the issues people seem to have with buying cheap CFL bulbs. It would be my hope that they would make sure that the cheaper ones(probably older 15 year old technology) would disappear and make people more willing to switch over.

So while there might be little difference between the two if you get a high end CFL you will probably find most people get the cheap ones that give off funny colours(at least they seem to to me, but I think Incandescents give off too much of a yellow glow) and people will be less apt to go out and buy them.

I think CFL's will eventually be replaced by better LED's than we currently have. They don't have the mercury, they don't waste any heat creating light(yes CFL's still do) and they last longer. Currently they kind of suck(only currently get bulbs up to 60watts) and they cost a lot more than CFL's(cost of white LED) and the colours arn't quite right compared to the sun's spectrum. But I think that LED's have more of a future as they are still being developed and hopefully they can fill the void with a better spectrum of light than CFL's.

I ramble on too much, basically I like the idea of CFL's and I think people should use them as much as possible, but I can see the benifit of still having incandecent lighting at least for the time being, and this news is sad.

No cops were called to the scene. Some schools now have a student liaison officer that will do random things for the school like talk to students about being in trouble or dealing with matters that teachers and administrative staff shouldn't be dealing with. In this case questioning a girl and searching her. It got to the point that the officer on staff decided that this person needed to be taught a lesson and called down a female officer to do a search. This girl showed no respect for the staff at the school or the officer. Normally I would say that this went to far but from reading the whole report I say it went just how it should. If the little brat had just admitted to making a mistake she wouldn't have a court date she would have detention or just had to have her dad pick up the phone. Instead she went to the insane streach of slipping the phone into her undone pants while talking to the officer and denying everything. Even when she was found out she still said she didn't have it, and when they found it on her she said it didn't work. This is crazy I hope she gets community service, that's what this kid needs.

Oh and it's not stupid to call the cops, I think a good cop would prefer to put the hammer down on a kid before they actually start doing something serious. Lying to an office I know you think isn't a serious problem but I sure do.

On a side note I wonder if the kid was read her rights and if she had the right to refuse to talk to the police officer like a real criminal does. I've heard time and time again from lawyers you never talk to an officer all you will do is incriminate yourself more. Really though the kid should have just sat there shut up and handed over the phone and took her detention.

What if it is your job not to hand over those kinds of documents to anyone besides maybe your successor? The interview said he was sitting in a room with a bunch of people and there were others on the other end of a speaker phone who were ready to test the passwords. On a very secure system like he had setup it could be bad if he spouted off the right passwords. He doesn't know who's listening and he doesn't know who will use them. At my current job their are two main guys in the downtown office, how they setup the root passwords on the main server is they each type in their part neither of them know the whole root password. Their parts are written on a piece of paper and stored separately in a secure place(I think in a safe). The CEO the manager no one is to have the root passwords, they are god mode and can be exploited, if they are the tech is legally liable(at least here) if they are used and the proper precautions weren't documented and policies weren't set in place. So yeah they own the systems and I guess they own that information that's on the systems so what's the guy to do? Risk getting in trouble for handing out the root passwords to X number of people, or keep them and say that he won't give them out to a random crowd of IT, HR and Managers? Personally I would say lets sit down write up some documents saying I'm giving them to you and I'm not responsible for what happens after. I might also say if this is whats going to happen the signing of that document will be followed by my resignation. I would also request that the root password only be viewed by my successor but what ever. He really didn't handle it correctly, he was stupid to think that they wouldn't take action. This seems a little excessive, like others have said they are just saving face.

It depends on how it's run if it's setup in a way where you can get tax breaks or funding if you include Canadian content, then it's not limiting you on what you can put on your website. What it would then do is give an incentive to providers to make extra cash by dropping in the maple leaf once in awhile. I don't think this is the same as net neutrality. I would hope that the CRTC would not bock content that didn't fulfill their agenda. I also think that this would only effect canadian sites, but how do you end up defining that? Something hosted in Canada or something from the .ca domain? I just hope that they Mull it over and don't do anything, but I doubt that it's going to be anything really that bad. Just glad I don't have a great firewall like China or Australia... maybe we already do and I don't know..

As someone posted further down the original poster didn't have those dates in there either. This is to blame completly on kdawson. I don't like to put down the guy but that's a pretty bad messup and to not have it fixed already do they not read the comments after? http://science.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?id=3368291&op=view

Exactly. I end up using IE at work because all of the users log into their email wich is run on an exchange server. So when they are logged into their email account they loose some features if they are using firefox compared to using IE. I try to secure things as much as possible using GPO's and such but it still is something that's sore with me. The people who run the mail servers decided a few years ago to only use microsoft solutions. So we are pretty much stuck with it as a standard for almost everything just because of that one system. So far it works pretty good but I could see a few different solutions that would not only run as good but be cheaper and just as easy to maintain. In some cases things could be done better if we weren't so stuck on Microsoft. They really get you hooked all their systems tie together and it's so easy to just say hey were running active directory so we migth as well run exchange. Hey were running those so why not use sharepoint and so on until your in a situation where you don't even want to think of switching to something else. They're like meth dealers. They get you hooked and the shits gonna kill ya.
