I'm gonna be a little more serious: I strongly advise any PC owner to have a Linux bootable media option available and up to date...and HANDY...for those times when Windows melts down on you. Linux bootable media, whatever the distro, can help you get back up and running, or at least allow...

Bit of a lame joke, that, though it is my only currently working OS...but that was really in response to Deadjasper's comment/re-hash of the old joke about Linux "breaking through at any moment." No, I don't currently think Linux and gaming VR are going anywhere soon, though I do believe they...

It's the future tonight for me anyway. I built a hot gaming PC last summer and threw on Win 10/64. Which worked pretty much flawlessly until this last Saturday, at least as a bootable OS. But on Saturday I got a "PAGE FAULT" error, and automatic repair couldn't fix it. So I tried the...

Exactly. If the principle "I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it" holds BOTH ways...and ALL ways...then all must sign onto it. With their sacred honor (and of course their lives too). It's real, not a concept. And it makes real demands of all of us, IMO

This could be really important for submarines (and no, I'm not kidding). Glass is considered a prime building material for deep sea submersibles (I think it's currently used for sonar sensors which go well below 20,000 ft.). A self healing variety--obviously it would be better if it could be...

Suppose I use the plants to make a salad and end up like <<< that? Who do I sue?

I'm currently trying an alternative experiment: The standing desk. This happens to be a built in arrangement, and it just happens to be the right height for my elbows (50"), and so far, even with one bad leg, I kinda like it. It's inspired by an oil-and-gas attorney we know from south...

On the subject of proofs: IMO author Bill Bryson offers up a sort of "layman's mathematical proof" that there really must be an intelligence behind "life as we know it" in his bestseller "A Short History of Nearly Everything." The first few pages of the chapter "The Rise of Life" (p...

One of my very favorite movies encompasses something of that very theme: "Bicentennial Man" (Robin Williams). Also one of the very rare cases in which the screenwriters add something (romance) to an already good book that didn't even address any of that part of life at all.

I scanned that article without finding any real definition of AR, and without one it's pretty difficult to discuss. Any links to where it might be laid out more clearly? ---- As an aside (related to VR, not AR), it's amusing to me that so many folks who couldn't get on board with the idea...

Never met him, but his little sister was in my little sister's wedding (nice gal--you can tell they are siblings). She was behind on the rent a while back and asked him for a loan. No loan...but he solved the problem: "He just bought my whole building," she said. :D

Not being much of a console peep, this Duke thing is entirely new to me (never tried it), but I can see one thing right away: The "axis" line on the ABXY buttons seems to come not straight "down" the pad, but instead along a line laid perhaps ten degrees off to the right...maybe more outside...

Interesting style point there on the front lid--that center section (slightly raised) reminds me right away of the original 911, except that on the original car the same section was slightly recessed (and there was an air intake across the back, so it made some sense)...

Dunno about him, but we had a guy in another forum a few years back who was positively raving about the twin towers being brought down by deliberately planted explosives (that wasn't the point of contention though). He had seen something on you tube which convinced him...and apparently was...
