Doom's "bob" is weapon only; the player's viewpoint remains fixed relative to the ground. However, the weapon bob is extreme and combined with the comically fast running speed in Doom, could be the cause.

Re: Same old story

The most unfortunate part of that whole Mars pipe dream is that he doesn't want to go personally

Re: Question 7, which of the following is true?

I think you've been reading the North Korean edition

I think it's probably fair to say that Sky produces a lot more content as a proportion of what it delivers than Spotify does?

The problem with this prediction is that there are a lot of lunatics who sincerely believe it

Re: more ads means more users ????????

That is bizarre. Why does a retailer believe it needs to run ads on its own website?

Re: 20,000 mAh

I assumed it's because they're miniatures and it's cute.

I'm reminded me of Neil DeGrasse Tyson's tale about serving on a jury in a drug possession trial and arguing with the judge over the use of milligrams rather than grams to describe the alleged amounts, being prejudicial to the defendant because it makes the amounts sound gigantic.

Re: I can't help but feel....

Elon Musk owns 42% of SpaceX and holds 79% of the voting rights. So for better or worse, SpaceX does what he tells it to. The only recourse any other investors have is to sell.

Re: Only one choice, really

I don't know about that... Steve's in his 70s and unlike Space Karen, Zuck has actually been training.

Re: I Feel for the small shops...

Square went down here a couple of months back. A restaurant had me pay for my lunch by direct deposit.

It was only when I got home that I noticed I'd still paid them for the Square transaction fee...

Then again, supermarkets have struggled with this ever since introducing 'loyalty cards' for customer profiling.

Re: A contrary view

I thought that in context it was clear I was referring only to my own experience. Apologies for not inserting "my" into that statement.

If anyone finds their mental health improves after taking work home with them, more power to them!

Re: Crypto Currency

They don't say it much any more but coiners used to like the glib "Backed By Math". It never made any sense, of course.

Re: Twas ever thus...

I once had a Win7 install that was effectively destroyed by a failed update. It permanently broke the Windows Update system.

Re: Unreal

I don't think we should deceive ourselves; Epic offers better store terms to attract developers. The moment the Epic store reaches critical mass, the fees are going up.

For some reason I'd forgotten about Epic's store, but it looks like the Unreal games aren't available there either. I think that settles it. Even worse, "Unreal" is now the name of a minigame editor for Fortnite...

Modern design standards and owner expectations would require it to weigh more than twice as much as the old car.

Have a look at how unsuccessful the Tata Nano was to get an idea of how many drivers want a modern Fiat 500...

Re: Cheap sentence?

Is early parole/release allowed on federal sentences in the US?

Re: Elon vs. ADL

Well you can attempt to sue someone for anything you like. How successful that is, and whether you get away without sanction, is another question...

People like Musk throw around legal threats as an intimidation tactic. Back off or we're going to waste your money, essentially. I wouldn't be surprised if he never consulted his legal team about most of them.

Re: Random braking

I figured that was the joke

Tad bit late for that I think. NK has already demonstrated both nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that work, at least some of the time.

I don't think even they are mad enough to attempt a live demonstration of the complete system, so I'll leave the speculation as to whether they could actually achieve that to the expert analysts...
