    Facebook is Building a Space Laser

    Heh exactly! The death beams must make sounds! in space! and be completely visible!! It is as important as them being mounted on sharks. Cars spontaneously exploding in mid-air as they fly off cliffs. WWII style spaceship dogfights and capital ship engagements. Ship cloaking meaning...

    Facebook is Building a Space Laser

    So, are people just being funny or really don't understand what a communication laser is and how mundane it is? (have to ask in a world of flat-earthers and the movie educated. ) :P

    Texas Company Uses Oculus Go in Training Flights

    So, I take it most people here have no idea what this is being used for? (but for one? two? people?) Probably best to not comment before commenting. Would it be interesting to know that people fly planes with hoods blocking all outside vision or goggles that are foggy ? This is to train...

    Growing Rat Muscles onto Robot Fingers

    Um, a bit of ? here. First T1000? It had a flesh shell but it didn't help with movement?!? just a disguise. Second, Um this is not really new? just the current technique of making a scaffold for the muscle.. in which getting cells to grow on a scaffold itself is not new either.

    Tesla Autopilot Claims Another Victim

    Words - mouth - not Definition is what it is. And if follows as they describe it as such and you SIGN documents along those lines. Is not autonomous but requires a driver paying attention and only operates under a narrow set of conditions.

    Tesla Autopilot Claims Another Victim

    That only goes so far and is the root for most of the controversy and confusion so evident everywhere. if you can't agree in a definition you can't communicate. SO, people SHOULD buy a clue, Not doing so because they are clueless is not a good defense. Words have meaning and todays super...

    Tesla Autopilot Claims Another Victim

    Actually, it's peoples misconception that is the problem. not the word or its use. "An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required. Autopilots do not replace human operators, but instead they assist...

    LED Lights Causing Traffic Problems in Winnipeg

    AxonVR Brings Lifelike Touch to Virtual Reality Using NVIDIA PhysX

    SO not New . . . In fact this was the original vision of VR. Before Matrix (that was to side step the physicality), Assassin's Creed (WAY before), even lawnmower man (they had the multiaxis ball because of budget) and that s 1992! a Hanging exoskeleton is the easiest way, effectively a VR...

    US Government Releases Proposed Guidelines For Smart Guns

    Bad idea or just not 100% perfect? there is a big difference. No law is going to be perfect or completely effective all you need is it to work more often that not and have minimal unintended consequences. You already said it was good that they took it. chances are it will be good for all...

    US Government Releases Proposed Guidelines For Smart Guns

    I can't agree more! I also have a problem with requiring them by law, but this was not what the original article was about, it was recommendations on what the base default requirements should be. The talk here has gone far far beyond that. "you can ignore the context of how this thing will...

    The NVIDIA VR Fun House Experience @ [H]

    Played this demo with a 980ti . . . works great on low and ok on medium level (one level had a rate issue) . I believe each level increases the fidelity and amount of physics going on. (ie one level had bounce, braking objects, gravity etc . . but the next quality level added cloth physics and...

    Microsoft Prepares A Final 'Get Windows 10' Nag Screen

    Seriously? Faster at what? previous versions. Benchmarks show this out. Not opinion. Argue about them not me. ( "Because my last Windows 7 clean install was much faster than my most recent Win10 install on the same hardware." Anecdotal at best bub) More secure? More secure for whom? Again...

    Microsoft Prepares A Final 'Get Windows 10' Nag Screen

    I did not use bullet points, and I was talking about OS's and applications in general, used "if" and "Possibly" and put my (opinion) in Parenthesis! reread please " if the new software is more secure (which in this case it is) then there is another host of good reasons for security. " and...

    Or use "win key"-x and use that menu ?. . Don't know you are looking for a control panel? then you may not want to be there :P or alternatively use "help" or Google . . You know learn how to use the OS?. There are many many different ways to get to just about anything. Always know at...

    Microsoft Prepares A Final 'Get Windows 10' Nag Screen

    Because it saves them ALLOT of $$ . . . For a corporation that is ALL the reason to do just about anything (seriously people don't see that??). Getting people off OLD versions of a OS or Application has always been a massive fight. It costs allot to maintain and support older software. Not...

    Microsoft Draws Flak For Pushing Windows 10 On PC Users

    So which is it . .disagree with what I said? or is it now off topic? Seems like you changed your tune a bit there. And made much more of a simple (true) statement of the current industry then was needed . . . but if you like I can lead you on a bit more since you have no real counter...

    Microsoft Draws Flak For Pushing Windows 10 On PC Users

    YES, The base OS is not the main interface most business systems spend any time on. They spends 99% of there time IN a few programs - the OS is effectively irreverent - since the OS is typically managed and locked down. New EULA you kidding right ??? every update, even small ones, and MS...

    Parents Far More Worried About Sex Than Violence In Movies

    That's not accurate, historically that is ONLY what females are useful for in allot of cultures but manly religions. So they want females to get pregnant, but the entire sex thing should be only for that one necessary "evil". They also use it as a power play for male control (must submit to...

    Fallout 4: Real-Life vs. In-Game Boston

    Wow, I can't believe people not liking 4 and liked the previous games?! They are so close. All a bit buggy, but functional. a but clunky but mod able. Basically wander around and do main and side quests. in a large sandboxy environment. Not really RPG, not FPS something in-between...

    Mass Effect Official Video For N7 Day 2015

    There is no way I am going to get suckered in to this again. Going to ignore and wait till it has been out for a while before even looking. And if it ends up like being like Dragon age I will probably give it a miss also :( I hate too, but the bad writing kills and my disappointment with how...

    Fallout 4 PC System Requirements

    Kind of surprised over the intel Core i7 on the high end, Games typically are not CPU bound even less so if they are multithreaded. Have not seen anything take full use of the 8 threads of a normal i7 yet. and a faster (in Gz) i5 can be better then a slower i7 in varying amounts. Wonder...

    Research: 34 Percent Afraid Of Artificial Intelligence

    While I agree on some parts, I disagree with others. These two words can mean different things but always linked. and do not forget Intelligence is a synonym of wisdom. I like to see it as a super set of intelligence. You really can't have wisdom (good decision making) without intelligence...
