Monitor One-Upmanship From IBM
openSoar writes: "So here is a solution for your lounge or media room setup and a nice display for your office. 61 inches of plasma sounds sweet but a $28K price tag doesn't. The IBM LCD will do 3840x2400 which would make me SO much more productive ;-)" Who says 200dpi is only for the labs? I'd rather have two of these than one 61" display anyhow. 3840 x 2400 would mate nicely with the Nikon D1x I also don't have.
Take up the White man's burden --
Send forth the best ye breed --
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild --
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man's burden --
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times mad plain.
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden --
The savage wars of peace --
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden --
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper --
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead!
Take up the White man's burden --
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard --
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light: --
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
"Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden --
Ye dare not stoop to less --
Nor call too loud on freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your Gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden --
Have done with childish days --
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
i just couldn't bring myself to type, "first post" or french toast, or biotch!! or whatever. i just might have all my chomosomes after all...
Is slashdot having problems with Exodus now. I couldn't get in for the last 20 minutes and I almost withered away.
I really hate Dan Patrick.
Never mind that 35mm-sized camera stuff, timothy. Try Kodak's "medium-format" digital photography. Dual hard disks, firewire, 36 bit CCD, 4080x4080 image sensor. Just add Hasselblad.
Does anyone else remember an outfit that was supposed to be making a universal digital back for SLRs? It seems the sensors are of a reasonable size now... I wish I could make my (cheapish) SLR into a digicam - it has way more control than my Kodak DC280 (decent picture, average controls).
"don't fall into the fallacy of believing that Perl can solve social problems. Maybe Perl 6 can, but that's a ways off"
I was so tempted to hit that "Add to cart" button.
I'm pretty sure what he said was
Eggplants!

what's a "maxed out abacus"? Is that like a really big abacus? I'm confused. Oh, hang on, you are saying a Mac is like an abacus because you haven't got either. Hardy fucking har. Prick.
