About time, hopefully they do it better this time. The current rendering engine is very old and outdated compared to what is the cutting edge in the gaming industry year 2015/2016. It's also built on DirectX so no Apple OSX or Linux support. Also lacking a physics engine that can render water, wind, grass, gravity, etc in real time.

I'm one of these that will grab the consumer model of Occulus Rift and build a brand new spanking rig to fit it. I figure Intel, nVidia, AMD and PC hardware vendors will be happy as it will drive hardware sales of new PC gear like crazy. VR will put good use of latest stuff like AVX-512, DDR4, etc.

Flying a drone with VR headset would be awesome, should feel like being superman flying around the city. Better get one of these gas powered ones running on ethanol RC engine that can stay up in the air for hours.

Horror games that will scare the shit out of you. Almost real LSD trips to wreck your brain. ;-)
Lots of uses in education, medical and mechanical engineering, etc. Social VR applications will be huge, app that allow one to hang out with your friends at a bar or nightclub. Watching 2D movies and TV series would rock, like going to a big screen teater but even better, should provide for a good movie experience as it shields the viewer from distractions. One can watch porn on the airplane, no one would ever know. ;-)

Sounds much like a project I was working on a couple of years ago. An distributed filsystem where everyone running a daemon could drop files into a pool (ocean) and the files was moved around as fixed size blocks/chunks. Automatically replicated so there was always 3-4 copies of each block/chunk available on different nodes to maintain full redundancy and resiliency if nodes was disconnected or disappeared.

We may not know his wishes, but we have a pretty good idea at what his next-of-kin think. Before his barbaric execution, they were firmly opposed to action against ISIS. Now, they want heads to roll.

Something tells me they'd want it seen.

Yes, and some people host websites at home with decent traffic or sell/rent virtual servers to other people. 1 Gbit doesn't really cope with that.

A friend of mine have a two node OpenStack cluster with around 20-50 machines and containers running, selling IaaS capacity from his home.

If you have a large website or semi-commercial cloud operation it would still be cheaper buying a 10 Gbit connection than hosting the machines externally.

But this is special cases of course, regular Joe's doesn't have much use for it. Some nerds and geeks may have.

10 GbE NIC with standard STP PHY cost around 100 bucks? not very much money and affordable. A four port 10 GbE switch is not so expensive, if you want to run it at home you can.

I'm surprised 2014 motherboards does not have built in 10 GbE as it have been around for a long time now.

From the perspective of the CPU, a printer is write-only memory.

Yes, all Linux/Unix admins knows there is a constant stream of security patches coming every week. One will need to swap the whole container out for a small updated binary or shared library. Seams a bit inefficient to me to go through the whole dev-staging-test-deploy pipeline every week or even serval times a week for one or more containers.

Or do you Docker users just skip security updated and leave the holes wide open?

Thank you; I learned something today!

As pointed out elsewhere, silos are heavily-reinforced concrete. You'd have a gun barrel effect directing the blast straight up.

Further, the typical warhead on an American Peacemaker ICBM is a 300kt W87. Granted, there may be up to ten of them, but unless they exploded simultaneously, the detonation would destroy the other nine.

Eh? Citation, please.

Somebody needs to go study the broken window fallacy.

Least of all the voters.

Under federal law, muzzleloaders aren't classed as firearms, so A) he wouldn't be in the business, and B) the prohibition on felons wouldn't apply.

State and local laws may vary.
