The most anticipated feature of 2015.

In undue fairness, accomplishing nothing was her job.
I don’t care if the robot that speaks English read the entire library.
How else was it going to happen?
That is not what Firefox has done.
Why would you not just… use it? You have hospitals, they use this stuff. Reduce how much they’ll need to buy in the near future by dumping a few crates of whatever in their loading bays.
… by submitting queries to another website that only does what’s ruining search engines.
We have been accused of being the most right-wing government in history whilst hiking taxation to Clement Attlee levels, promoting insane levels of immigration, and building a gerontocracy. We have failed to turn the clock back a single second. We have made Baxter Basics look like a model of probity. Scandal has followed scandal: sexual misconduct, lobbying, money, and cake.
Sir, do you think right-wing just means the things you claim to want?
You have to shake it into people: it’ll be a landslide because you show up. The harder you make it hurt, the more you’ll get what you want.
I would still be using 7 if ransomware wasn’t a thing.
I went back to Mint instead.
You pay how much to be told no?
Windows 9x was low-bullshit.
NT and 2000 were corporate enough to be no-nonsense. They belonged to the administrator, but the administrator can be you.
ME was a mistake.
XP was not yet online enough to be properly skeezy.
But from Vista onward, yeah, it’s been an escalating shit-show that’s difficult to miss.
Man, if only home computers were capable of hosting their own servers. Oh well! Guess it’s gone forever.
Hudda hudda huh!
Eh. The primary obstacles to VR right now are intercompatibility and cost. Facebook’s bullshit is near the right price range, but it’s from Facebook, so it’s bullshit. Everything else is wildly overpriced for what remains a niche secondary gizmo atop already-expensive gaming setups, and it only works on one brand of gaming setup. All these motherfuckers took a scalpel to the nascent industry to slice up their tiny fragment of an itty-bitty pie.
I will tell companies this for free: use a point light source and focus becomes trivial. You don’t need three inches of fancy folded optics. The proper Gumpei Yokoi approach is a textbook drawing of one lens, a liquid crystal panel, and a dot that emits light.
I’ve been telling companies this for free: use intermediate voxels and performance becomes irrelevant. Toy hardware can throw sprites at a zillion frames a second, with up-to-the-nanosecond head-tracking. Make games emit that cheap 3D data instead of giving them direct framebuffer access.
Of course if these people were serious, they’d use lightfield displays. Stick a grid of tiny lenses onto a high-res screen and you don’t need focus because you’re emitting a hologram. Nvidia had tech demos for this, an entire decade ago. The hardware is dirrrt cheap. But for some fucking reason we’re still acting like Palmer’s cheap hack remains state-of-the-art. Just stick fancier pancake polarizing birdbath Zeiss optics on this Google Cardboard thingamajig. More pixels! More pixels!
That’s two separate yes-or-no questions.
“Was it this guy?”
“Ye-”
“Or the other guy?”
“Yes.”
What a fuck.
“Taught.”
I apologize for English.
Java is an okay format owned by the devil. When two devices running Java connect via wifi, One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison expects the air in-between them to be properly licensed. If the free software movement had not been founded to say “fuck printers,” it would have sprung into being in order to say “fuck Oracle.”
If businesses spring up to advise customers how to handle your billing and legal departments, maybe you shouldn’t be a company anymore.
You won’t unfuck that chicken.
