This is a false argument. Regulations are effective. When was the last time you breathed in second hand smoke while eating dinner? Or inhaled lead from a passing car? Or asbestos from your neighbor's new house?
basic people sure, but the early internet showed an extremely strong demand for a better service than cable TV. When that demand is there then people will start seeking other options and building bridges of convenience to help the basic people also port over.
Same results for me. Absolutely awful, vision consistently began failing by becoming noticeably blurry about 8 to 9 hours after taking night lenses out, and I couldn't drive at night because of headlight and streetlight halos even after "topping off" with those uncomfortable lenses during the day. As an enthusiastic night sky observer, trying to use those lenses was depressing.
I gave up after extended tries with three different lenses (I think it was six to nine months total), with my highly experienced doctor consulting with different manufacturers and researchers from around the country. Turns out my pupils naturally open up too wide, made worse by corneas that apparently are not thick enough to retain the reshaping all day. These issues, incidentally, make me ineligible for the popular cut-n-burn style of eye surgery.
On the bright side, it was indeed completely reversible and I've suffered no effects of any kind after about two days of non-use. That was a bit over a decade ago.
Not completely unheard of but I get your point :). Babylon 5's pilot's animations (and I believe opening credits) was rendered in 1993 on sixteen souped-up A2000s, each with 32 MB of RAM.
That's pretty cool. I know 32 megs was technically possible with the right boards, I just didn't know any normal person that had one. I had an A3000 with 5 megs (4 megs fast, 1 megs chip) and I thought it was bad ass for the time.
CyberstormPPC was $1000 when it came out in 1997. Thats more than Pentium 200, good motherboard, case, sound card, graphics and 3Dfx accelerator. 128MB was $400-800 and not even top end systems shipped with that much.
Huh - that seems a very basic missing feature in the cloud version. We use bog-standard self-hosted JIRA and markdown editing is basic working functionality. People also add mermaid diagrams/charts to the issue. As well as custom diagram plugins, excel sheets and a whole gamut of documents.
