Sixty Symbols - How Do 3D Glasses Work

deathcow says...

I have never seen any 3D TV experience that "worked" for me. When its 1080P per eye at 60 fps per eye, we'll be there.

My experience comes from using telescopes. Even though there is one lens, casting one image cone, when you use a binoviewer several things happen. 1) everything looks bigger, though its the same size.. this is reported over and over again by people. 2) low contrast high resolution details are easier to see, even though its the same image per eye. 3) problems you have with one eye are diminished, especially floaters in your eyes just fade away.

Now they are coming out with 3D TV which require no glasses at all, but unless they can pump the signal rate up it still will fall short for me.

TYT - 22,000% rate of return on lobbying investment

Mikus_Aurelius says...

Second time I've heard about this study and it's nonsense. If I buy my grandfather an ice cream cone and he leaves me $100,000 in his will, did I just have a 10000000% gain on my ice cream cone? No because he was disposed to leave me that money anyway.

Even better? I spent $0 lobbying George Bush and he gave me a $300 tax cut. That's infinity % return!

Without a time machine, or at least a control group, there's no way to know how much of this tax break was due to lobbying, and how much was due to republican's just enjoying giving tax breaks for businesses.

Harvey and The Cone of Sadness

skinnydaddy1 says...

The cone is not why he is sad. Its the reason he has to wear the cone thats depressing him. That quiet sadness that says he will never know what it would of really meant when shes asks if he wants to come in side for a cup of coffee after a really good date.....

Hi Eric, how do you "minimize" the videos like you did in this message? When I do a video response it comes out normal size & looks as if I'm trying to steal the original poster's thunder.

Thanks :

Death to Pennies

I didn't realize that adding the tax at checkout was a distinctly American stupidity.
My family owned an ice cream parlor for 10 years when I was a kid/teen. From day one, we included taxes in our prices. A small cone was $1 and a large cone was $1.25. We did the math when it was time to pay our taxes. It made it easier for the customers and it made it easier for us when we were ringing them up.


I believe that is illegal in the states. Small businesses can get away with it, though.


I just checked the NY sales tax advertising laws (http://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/sales/pub34_899.pdf) and it seems to be ok to me. You're not allowed to do anything that suggests the tax isn't charged/paid, but we weren't. The price list said that all taxes were included in the listed prices.

Maybe it's different in other states.

@JiggaJonson: I'm one of those few who really likes the $1 coins, though I think it's more for their aesthetic quality than any sort of practicality. There's something far more satisfying about holding a coin. Oh, and they're shiny. Oooooh... shiny.

unreported world-nigeria's millionaire preachers

BoneRemake says...

Just reading the description, not watching the video, I get a sense of how religions in general came to power back in the day.

You have a bunch of un-educated people who are looking for a reason to exist in general, a person makes up a story to make you feel better, they put their all into it, deceiving and coning people with words.

Because this sort of thing is a redundant cyclical cycle per generation, the idiotic beliefs of yesteryear never go away.

All this from a couple paragraphs. Now to watch the video.
