Which is kind of hard to rule out, since if you had a variety of stimuli and different things to do in order to measure reaction time you'd have to take human movement and hand-eye coordination limitations into account.

Those first three sound like personal problems brought to you by the 99%.
Wasn't this posted in the funny pictures thread? Or maybe I saw it on Reddit last week.

Yes, that is the sea.
Frozen sea spray? Gross :s
That is so cool. Like a giant salty popsicle.
Looks like an attachment for a gun in Crysis.

Thats why I always did my laundry from 3-5 in the morning. During D&D sessions with my asshole roomate lol!Quote:

They're shoulders are the same posture as well.
That was pretty cool, nice message.

Scumbag Bioware is at it again.
Damnit man, spoilers.
That ending cutscene image is in no way the same as the DA image. The guy asking about it on DA is definitely not a Bioware employee, as he is asking to use the image itself in his game, not to make one similar to it that is all his own work, as Bioware has done. It may look similar, but it's quite obviously made from totally new assets.
Tali's face however, that's... a stock photo. That's what you do with stock photos. You buy a license to one and do what shit you want with it. Not illegal or scummy. Standard industry practice since forever.
Yeah nah, for one of the most financially backed devs int he industry, it'd despicably lazy.
Obviously the ending sequence has been totally remade but to say it's "inspired" is a huge understatement. It's a total copy.
And the big reveal of one of the most popular characters in the whole series, being a half-shopped stock photo is lazy as fuck.
Here, have some great voice acting, pacing, plot and animation :)

It still amazes me how epic the photos NASA can still get out of the Hubble Space Telescope.
Source:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1354456.htmlQuote:
Hundreds of thousands of glittering stars shine in a cluster at the center of our galaxy in a new photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The cluster is called Messier 9, and contains hordes of stars swarming in a spherical cloud about 25,000 light-years from Earth. The object is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, and when it was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764, the scientist could only resolve it as a faint smudge that he classified as a nebula ("cloud" in Latin).
Now, though, the Hubble Space Telescope is powerful enough to make out more than 250,000 individual stars in Messier 9, in a new picture released today (March 16). The bluer points indicate hotter stars, while the redder stars are cooler.
Messier 9 is what's known as a globular cluster, containing some of the oldest stars in the galaxy in a clump that is thought to have formed together when the universe was much younger. These stars, which are about twice as old as the sun, are made of different materials than our star. They tend to lack the sun's heavier elements, such as oxygen, carbon and iron, which were only present in larger quantities when the universe was older.
Hubble's new photo is the most high-resolution image ever taken of Messier 9, and reveals the ancient cluster as never before. So many details of the stars are visible, despite the fact that the whole image spans an area no bigger than the size of the head of a pin held at arm's length.
The more than 20-year-old Hubble Space Telescope launched on April 24, 1990. Since then, it has been visited five times by space shuttle crews for repairs and upgrades, and is still in great shape, scientists say.
I can make better photos in photoshop using the lens flare effect.

I've heard that next year they're launching an even bigger and better telescope. I can't wait to see what comes of that.Quote:

Yeah the only thing that was cut from NASA was the Shuttle program basically.
Which is actually a good thing, since the Shuttles were blowing up and stuff, you know... That and the fact that my computer is probably more powerful than all of the computers that run the existing Shuttles combined.
Most modern computers are more advanced than the computers on the shuttles.
So yours being more powerful isn't all that much of a surprise.
Which is the general problem with the NASA programs; most everything is out of date and still stuck a few decades behind.Quote:

What the...? Really They be living in the 80's with their shuttle computers? Fuck that.
I dunno, shit made in the 80s is pretty durable. Would you really want a space shuttle to run on Windows 7? OH GOD, even worse, WINDOWS 8? :gonk:Quote:

Why we invest in science
You all realise the reason they used ancient hardware is because it's tried and tested and far more reliable than modern technology. Every time your computer crashes is equivalent to a shuttle blowing up. Now tell me they should update.
FUCKING WINDOWS OS. :iamafag:Quote:

We don't build it because it would violate treaties that ban nuclear tests in space. Other ideas never come to fruition because $$$, or because it simply isn't necessary. When they launch telescopes however, they do use increasingly awesome hardware, like the James Webb.
Hey this isn't the reason at all, but even if it were I'm pretty sure they don't use Windows so 90% of your issues would be irrelevant right there. Oh ad I haven't experienced a PC crash that wasn't related to faulty hardware or overclocking (see: my fault semi-on purpose) in years.Quote:

I'm not talking AI/Autonomous vehicles here though, that's just a bad idea. You want to have remote-controlled vehicles so you get the skill and expertise of a human pilot, but the capabilities and lack of death of a completely mechanical vehicle. For example, the F-22 Raptor (and many other fighters) can technically out perform the pilot. That means that the aircraft is capable of performing maneuvers that would leave a human unconscious due to G-Forces and the like.
But nobody cares if you land a robot on Mars. The public needs something to get excited about if you want to keep the budget up.
Landing robots on Mars is really exciting actually, except when they get hung up on rocks and end their voyage the excitement kinda dies down.
It's exciting to people like us. It's not exciting to your average guy. I've tried drumming up space talk many times, they just don't care. They are amazed at us landing on the moon, but not about landing a metal machine on Mars.
I mean, which sounds cooler to you?
"I just landed my probe on Mars."
"I just got back from walking on Mars."
