No offense, but your GTX480 is more than likely the cause of your visual issues. I hear you on mount space (I initially used bookshelves in my room like their preview video, then wall-mounted them which isn't ideal for everyone), but y

For the DK2 maybe, but for CV1 this limitation is probably imposed by firmware (something that would be widely known if not for the NDA). Wouldn't surprised if this happens to be the result of whatever DRM they're employing. It&#x

That, and at the price point of this gear, it's safe to assume they'll have their own preferred headset/earbuds. It's an additional wire, but really not a huge deal.

It does have a forward facing camera to enable AR/Hololens- like experiences though. But yeah, it's using the Lighthouses for tracking (relative for seated VR, absolute when standing)[1]. Fortunately for other VR systems they'

Not all Vive games have to support room-scale games, it works for sitting down/cockpit games just as well. Beyond that, I really do think that the front camera (supporting AR to a degree, and being able to grab a drink or use a keyboar

The Witcher 3 can hardly be categorized as a "mainstream blockbuster." It's more akin to a cult classic that was finally accepted by a larger audience. Beyond that the original comment was lamenting the lack of a central cult

Perhaps you should actually take some time and read the article? This was given at a presentation not aligned with Github (so this isn't an official policy as you and others are making it out as). Further, its context is obviously need

Yeah, the assumption that all low-income neighborhoods have problems that you should be afraid of "spilling over" is a poor one.

Keep in mind that this is still very much a press release, so of course it manages to sensationalize. These metal combinations are only "un-weldable" via fusion welding, other solid state welding techniques (like explosive welding

Where's your evidence that the fact that Perry was the governor was a key factor (if at all) in the success of Texas during his time in office? I doubt his position in office did little to contribute to the Texas remaining economically

I can't downvote or report as of yet, but the title is both sensational and incorrect (no one knows what's to be announced until noon, read the links you post).

In terms of CMU, I'd say your first point is short-sighted. Because of the relatively large Design/Art, Architecture, and Business programs, the generic freshman orientation/prereqs, a surprisingly inclusive Greek presence, a

Sounds like an anchoring strategy--articles direct their attention to the higher price point for users older than 30, and the $10 monthly fee for the premium version doesn't look that bad in comparison (which for the 2 added features i

Poor title. "Skeptic" is considerably better than "illiterate", which comes off as condescending (as does some of your diction in general).

Where are you getting your data from? It seems like you're running into problems with new shows/shows that share the same name as movies. For instance Utopia (UK sci-fi/thriller/mystery) or Fargo (TV show).
