That's what psychedelics and disassociatives are for.

I expect it to last for the rest of my life, since I've shifted to hard-drive arrays for storage and FTP to exchange files. I've burned 2 DVDs so far this year.

Sure, but are you going to click on a link that says yet another idiot driver killed someone while messing around with his phone? Add Pokemon Go, and you have the fans, the haters, and the dubunkers all clicking your link, viewing your ads, and driving traffic to you via their blogs and social media.

Right, this idiot wasn't even playing the game, he was just messing around with his phone while driving, which we already know gets people killed, but adding Pokemon to the story gets clicks.

Those of us that aren't locked into a fixed set of needs, find that a new phone each year or two is required to meet our new needs. We first used phones to make calls, then we started using them as pocket computers. Now we use them as VR systems, which will drive the need for faster phones with better displays and better positional tracking for years to come.

There's value in having all your games on a single distribution platform, and I'm already annoyed by having to put up with Origin and UPlay. Adding another crappy little distribution platform is not going to help anyone but maybe Facebook.

It's sad how people go off the deep end, and try to make everything about their personal crusade, like Cory has. People will be able to use headphone adapters, and even if that wasn't allowed, the signal can be intercepted at the earbuds.

This does make these air-gapped hacks much less useful, but it could be used to exfiltrate data on an ongoing basis without having to touch the hacked air-gapped machine again after it's been compromised.

The people don't support this buffoon. He appeals to right-wing lunatics, and is too far gone to even fake being a sane person for the general election.

Can't tell if you're making fun of absurd Trump propaganda, or if you're really a delusional Trump supporter.

And you're not the only one. Lots of one-man or small shops are making games today. A few of the best VR games were created by single developers, with some adding a couple of voice actors. We're in an indy-development boom right now, where any creative person with some basic skills can create games in Unity or Unreal. You don't even have to be an artist. You can buy the art from asset stores and focus on game play.

>Also, larger deployments will be more inclined to pay, e.g. for a company a $5000 ransom may be cheaper than having to replace all 200 thermostats in its various rooms.

Only of they're short-sighted fools. The insecure devices have to be updated or replaced. Paying the ransom will not secure the thermostats against tomorrow's attack. They need the manufacturer to replace the firmware to fix the lockout and secure against future attacks, or to replace them with a better brand.

Everyone who isn't insane or a fool understands that we need to stop Trump, so it's not really fair to say an outlet is in the tank for Hillary, when she's all that stands between us and a pro-torture, totally uninformed bullshitter who foolishly thinks he's qualified to be President because he can get a racist rabble frothing with disinformation.

It's no stretch. Maybe you've made the mistake of thinking that 3D printing is just squirting hot plastic out of nozzles. That's just low-end consumer 3D printing.

We already have 90fps VR, which is considered the lowest rate required for a good experience. 60fps would be sliding back to phone-based VR frame-rate, and would turn off a lot of people.

Right now VR systems don't have the comfort or resolution to appeal to the typical movie-goer, but they will very soon.
