CNN Hologram TV First

Comment in Videos (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/05/2008
Weather reporters stand before a green or blue screen, which is keyed out and replaced with a map. They can't see it on the "wall" in the studio, but are looking to monitors, which are on both sides, just out of range of the camera. They are waving thei … (see comment)

It's chromakeying (green/bluescreen) combined with motion capture/motion tracking technology. The "mo-cap" technology has been around for a long time, but it's only been recently that computers have been fast enough to render it live. It's not a hologra … (see comment)

Rogers latest ISP to "help" customers with DNS redirects

Comment in News (17 diggs, 4 replies) - on 07/21/2008
One of the things that irritates me the most about this is that I am used to just typing in URLs without the suffix (i.e. just "digg" instead of "digg.com") and it screws all of that up. Before the browser can try the .com default, I get the Rogers ad-fi … (see comment)

Marriage didn't originate as a religious institution; it originated as a property transaction between groom and the wife's father—the wives being the property. (see comment)

But the actual percentage is relatively low enough not to make any significant difference in population control—HOWEVER, species evolve over time to rid themselves of less advantageous traits (or, more correctly, to favour advantageous ones), but evolutio … (see comment)

Gay marriages worth $684 million

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 06/13/2008
Then why do they have so much of a problem with allowing gay people the right to establish a solid, stable family structure? You'd think that it would be a GOOD thing, no? And anyway, if people are blaming society's problem on the dissolution of the fam … (see comment)

Well, I'm not American, but you're wrong. The people are not there to "check their asses." The judiciary gets appointed, not elected, and their only job is to interpret the law and the constitution. That's why it escalates to higher levels of appeal—ea … (see comment)

Gay marriages worth $684 million

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/12/2008
It's not the disagreeing that's the problem; it's the active opposition. The fact that people actually are spending so much energy fighting gay marriage when the country is in the toilet for so many other reasons is mind-boggling. Considering how two ga … (see comment)

Gay marriages worth $684 million

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/12/2008
If you want to start a significant movement for people who want to legally marry their mothers, feel free. Because there doesn't seem to be anyone calling for it. I've never heard of anyone seriously wanting to marry a squirrel, either. Gay people, on … (see comment)

If laws were based solely on the will of the people, abolishing slavery and establishing equal rights for women wouldn't have advanced much. The courts are in place to keep a check on the people, and the Supreme Courts are in place to keep a check on the … (see comment)

rthakidn: Condemning someone for systematically insulting, dehumanizing, hurting, and devaluing other people isn't bigotry. It may be against one's religious or personal beliefs, but it's also none of their fucking business. (see comment)

Same with coffee. I've actually had people scold me for drinking Diet Coke as they stand there with their coffee and cigarette. (see comment)

Saccharin is back on the market full tilt boogie after multiple, extensive studies showed that the previous fears were not only unfounded but the studies were flawed. Plus, the fear for saccharin was cancer (predominantly bladder), not blindness. That's … (see comment)

Wrong. While a select few may "choose" to be gay (and that's by their own definition) or engage in same-sex behaviour, the vast, vast majority do not and are incessantly victimized by the ignorant assumption that it's a choice. Sexual molestation does n … (see comment)

Kinda like how Canada was deluged with incessant natural disasters after they legalized gay marriage? I guess the tornadoes, famine, and earthquakes must be on their way up here, then. What's the hold-up? (see comment)
