1) It didn't make any of us sick, but I could see how it still would for users, particular if they didn't try to move their body in roughly the same direction as they would if it was IRL. If you have ever sat in a vehicle and watched the outside via a mirror - it's like that.

2) For me, while it was immersive (we had several users scream at things and dance around), it is still nothing like real vision. It still gives you one real focal point (or lack of one at all), which immediately makes it different from real life vision - particularly over long distances.

3) Unlikely. It would probably severely freak them out. Perhaps the rapidness of it would leave enough confusion that they worked it out, but it is still obvious it is computer generated graphics. See the focal issue above as an example.

Having said that, it was amazingly fun and I wish I had one now. I'd love to experiment with a 'Virtual Programming' environment. I'll leave what that means as an exercise for the reader :)

While I like non-proprietary software, there is nothing inherit that makes much of a difference for the lay person. As the complexity of the software goes up, so does the level of what is considered a 'lay person'. For any sufficiently complex software and non-pervasive problem - you're SOL in both cases. Standards help more than proprietary/non-proprietary. Lower complexity also helps more.

It seems that they are counting subscription revenue at the time it is paid, rather than recognizing over the length of the subscription picture. The later would give you a much better idea on how the business is operating.

Note: I'm not saying they shouldn't have the auto-detection, because it definitely helps if the maintainer doesn't do it, but for those that want to help classify things - let them!

Does anyone know others like that?

1 step forwards, 2 steps back.

While Wikipedia my not be the shining-light of data accuracy, it definitely fits the bill for achieving good: "Perfect is the enemy of good" [1]

I believe removing barriers to knowledge access for everyone is a step in the right direction. This tries to solve a single barrier. We still have a long way to go.

'If you can store infinite information outside of a system, then you can achieve infinite information density inside the system if you use outside the system as 'context'. I hope that paraphasing makes it clear enough the problem with this line of thinking. You have to include all the information when calculating absolute density. In your case, the context has to be stored somewhere too.

What a different industry it would be if all software required independent audits and the public could get access to the results.

The point is that it would prevent a certain number of attacks (such as non technical mischievous people) from unpremeditated attacks.

Your comment about 'false sense of security' is completely out of place as well. Chrome currently isn't doing anything to prevent the false sense of security (obviously from all the surprised people out there - can you see it now?). Why does it have to be a mutually exclusive choice? You could have your 'master password' and still have your false sense of security disclaimer displayed prominently next to it as well.

Now we build a different tool, let's call it http2net. With HTTP being so prevalent, perhaps it isn't unreasonable to think it becomes part of most OS distributions.

So now you are using a tool (http2net) to view/interact with the new protocol and this is good because it is easy to read and use.

In summary, is binary vs text really the big problem here?

Rocket Software will be hiring 2 developers to help us develop an exciting new product in the database industry.

Aside from Java/GWT and Python skills, we are looking for someone with an eye for UX design. Being knowledgeable on both relational and NoSQL databases is a plus. You should have some familiarity with Linux/Unix environments along with Windows.

For you, software and technology isn't just a job, it's a calling. We're looking for someone who's passionate about creating great technology.

You'll be working in our Denver Tech Center office with expensive views of the Rocky Mountains from the 11th floor. Rocket Software gives some great benefits: http://goo.gl/Ry5jG

I'll post a link to the official job posting once we have ti up today or tomorrow, although as I'm the hiring manager you could also contact details in my profile.

In chrome when you select 'Earth' view, it gets you to install a plugin, but then it's all there.

Once you give someone the ability to see or hear something, there is no guaranteed way to take it back.

I say this because: "You revoke access to anyone in the future that even if they have the image, without the privilege, the file is useless"

Their knowledge, problem solving skills, 'soft skills' and ability to quickly learn areas they have gaps in are what make them effective. How they acquired them and 'prove' them are all I care about. Part of the onus on me is to tease that out in my short-listing process and interviews and part of the onus is on them making it easier for me to see it so they jump out for me as quickly as possible.

We used to have one in our apartment, which we named Fred. RIP Fred!
