Spez is wrong, and I'll tell you why. Look at my user account. This entire episode has pissed a lot of people off, to the point of going back to previously visited forums. This is as big as the Digg 4.0 debacle. Reddit owes it's current existence to that event, but has to realize that it can all come crashing down. But this is 13 years since that event that exploded Reddit popularity. While it has become the next Facebook essentially, with local subs for nearly every city in North America and Europe, nothing stops it from losing all of this. If the mods abandon subs and the admins are forced to take over, only the largest subs will survive. All of the local city subs will disappear because they won't have the subscriber count high enough for the admins to care. All of the niche specialty subs with the information everyone searches Google for will disappear. All of the TV show subs will disappear. And at a certain point, all that will be left are the top 20 subs. And that's when user engagement will start dropping. Reddit will survive in some form, but the soul will be dead within 2 years. Everyone will go elsewhere for the specialty discussions and the local content. It's already starting to happen. I'm just one example.

You need the modded java client vivecraft, and either a premium USB link cable, beta oculus software to run on the charge cable, or virtual desktop to run wirelessly. This of course assumes you have a VR capable PC. Keep in mind that due to it's very nature, minecraft has difficulty maintaining frames. On my Index, I get better performance in Half-life: Alyx, than I do in minecraft, but it's still quite fun if it doesn't make you sick! The quest does have lower resolution targets for minecraft to keep up, and if you don't shell out for the premium link cable, there are bandwidth concerns, but you're probably going to be limited by minecraft itself. good luck!

Comment This isn't a victory for Behring-Breivik. (Score 3, Insightful) 491

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.
