I'm all for protecting our children from the harmful effects of entropy, but not our children's children because I don't think that kids should be having sex.

Good question. The profits will be interesting to see, anyway.

So they're making $2.50 per user per year? Nice one.

Wasn't much better in the reader either. I guess the author doesn't realize Reader doesn't do a whole lot for grammar.

No, lenticular stereoscopy.

Yeah these kids had better learn to be friends with everyone, or else it's detention all year!

this post seems to suggest that Dougr's ideas that oil is escaping into the surrounding rock are wrong: http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6611#more

I work as a software developer for a company that develops autostereoscopic displays (For seeing 3D without glasses - like the Nintendo 3DS will do) and stereoscopic software. We are currently developing a line of products for iOS devices to watch videos in 3D and see images and read comics (eventually) in 3D. So at some point this year when it all gets launched hopefully you can pick one up for like $15 for your iPod/iPhone/even iPad (although I don't know that the iPad version will end up being $15).

Edit: I should add that it appears the Nintendo 3DS is using a parallax barrier (but I don't know how true that is - I've heard it could be using a different system too, haven't seen one though). Our technology is using lenticular mainly, so the images will be quite different from both. Lenticular, for example, preserves the brightness of the image much better than parallax barrier.

It wouldn't work properly since both eyes would be receiving both views. You'd end up getting a shimmer type thing going on even if you couldn't figure out exactly what was going on.

Doing multiple passes with slightly different camera settings is becoming more common, but you would only use it with something like the NVidia 3D system, or any other 3D display technology. You would never use it to do something like this.

There were a bunch of people posting about it in the forums when this first happened.

I know what the problem is... After seeing some of the pictures of the people who got that letter, I'm pretty convinced they gave it to the bottom half.

I work with 3D displays and my company has had a number of porn studios approach us to partner to do 3D porn. Personally I'm not against the idea, but I guess because of some of our other partners we don't want to be seen associating with porn.

Seeing it in 3D is an interesting experience though; I think it'll be popular with the voyeur-style porn. If done well, it really gives the sensation of being right there.

Have you tried a psychologist?

I like the simple layout, but sometimes I wish I could minimize threads (kinda like how Reddit does it)

Never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss Rogers when I go to the states - $30 for 6 GB + free tethering.

I do not like this guy.

How are you finding out people's IQs to put them in these "good work ethic, quick learner", "poor work ethic, slow learner" buckets?

Very nice.

I'll have to bookmark that wiki, moving to SD with the gf in the fall!

Works in Safari on MacOS X

Rogers in Canada offers tethering for free :D

Air conditioning shuts down on the weekend? THAT'S NOT HOW BUILDING HEAT REGULATION WORKS.

Yeah I kinda groaned when I saw they were making this, but saw Shatner is playing the dad and now I'm excited.

I seem to remember a while ago there was a program featured on - maybe Slate - that had a much more impressive output, but I think it was actually played by a human and just written by a computer.

And did it do anything for you?

So what is this? A vapourware announcement?

Why do you need to be able to build apps for this?

Yeah really... Haskell and Scala? Unless your job is posting on Reddit all day about these languages, good luck...

I guess Apple has some level of hardware acceleration going on with Safari 4... Browser flip is running at around 60 fps, the flickr app does slow down but not as severely as the video shows. The scrolling text doesn't really work at all though hah. (13" MBP)
