StarVR is a QHD headset with an ultra-wide field of view

IMAX plans to bring virtual reality into theaters

If you sit in the middle at about 3 rows back of a proper Imax screen, it is the most incredible VR allready, completely filling your FOV, the first time I saw a 3D Imax movie at the Printworks in Manchester on a full size screen, was Haunted mansion...and I was alone in the theatre, it blew me away.
But lol at that website, on mobile 9/10ths of the screen is covered by navigation links...jesusfuk, they use shit no one wants to fuck up websites.

Picard had a saddle (and a dune buggy). Spock had rocket boots and played a mandolin. Sisko had a baseball. Janeway put on a dress and roleplayed. So what if Kirk has a dirtbike?

Yup. I see no reason why dirt bikes of some kind won't be around in a few hundred years.

In museums perhaps. A. hydrocarbons, B. They have anti-fucking-gravity, which mean much cooler adrenalin sports than riding a dirt bike (and no, I don't think the horse-riding analogy stands up), and C. It will be an early 21st century dirtbike, because of course it is. Funnily enough, the fastest way to date a film is its use of motorbikes; even more than cars, bike design gets old really fast.

See above, I don't think the horse riding/dirt bike analogy stacks up, and the dune buggy thing was roundly condemned as stupid when that happened. Rocket boots are futuristic, and his "mandolin" isn't. Baseball could easily still exist, and roleplaying is well established in Trek as a thing you do in holodecks, which makes perfect sense and has NOTHING TO DO WITH DIRTBIKES.

But Kirk had a motorbike in the 2009 film. He likes bikes, have you forgotten that? The original Kirk had a Commodore Pet in his flat!

All utterly ridiculous as well, especially the stolen classic car bit (although I'll concede they at least tried to make the bike futuristic, hub centre steering, electric etc.)

I, along with the author, think it's time people like you manned up and faced reality, instead of desparately clinging to outdated opinions that can only make things worse:

the author said:
[the author] argued that part of the solution had to be driving a more positive conversation about race in Britain, which accepted that society had changed and tried to focus on the potential benefits of immigration. “We live in a globalised world – we can’t disinvent easyJet, we can’t undo the internet, we can’t turn the clock back on companies being global and we can’t undiversify Britain,”

Just man up eh..that'll fix it.
Immigrants are mixing less with each other, poverty has risen.
This is not the direction we need to be going , London is slowly turning into a multicultural pressure pot, and the only reaction is to let more in and give them more reasons to stay divided by allowing them to protect their own culture over ours with endless laws and PC pussyfooting around people who resist change by shouting racism, which brings an army of defence against their values.

You are against segregation and yet want to leave the EU and become segregated from them rather than integrated?

Nice contradiction that one.

Final, probably.

He is right though, creating ghettos (one way or another) has never worked.

Agreed, but we've spoken about that already. Ghettoisation is a failure of government policy, not immigration. There are things that can (and should) be done to structurally ameliorate that issue.

And it's not just immigration which is at fault there either - financial inequality means that different strata of society (of all colours and creeds) live separate but parallel lives - and that has been increasingly so as the gap has widened.
