Adding an LCD Status Screen to a PC

blankmange writes: "The Screensavers is running an interesting hack - add an LCD screen to your PC for just information. "The real estate on your screen is precious, and with your PC's vital stats, Winamp info, game stats, stock tickers, news tickers, sports scores, and more, it's easy to run out of space. How about adding a liquid crystal display (LCD) that can show this type of information?" Seems pretty straight-forward ... " Yes, but can you make one as as pretty as this one?

    you know, i just thought of a kinda fFunny situation which might occur with a pointy headed boss sometime.

    BOSS: say, why don't we have monitors fFor all the servers?
    YOU: well, we have this KMV switch, which means i can use one monitor to look at any of the computers i need to.
    BOSS: i see. but you have two screen in your office. why not use one of those to put on the servers. then you can double the amount of servers you can look at, at one time.
    YOU: no no, i have a second screen in my office so i can look at ... the proccesses ..... why are you walking away?

    Great idea, but how about instead of having it at your desk to let you know you've got mail, mount it in the rear window of your car for those times when the horn just isn't enough :-)

  3. "Real Estate" - stop using this phrase! by simetra · · Score: 2, Funny

    Puhleeez. Desktop Real Estate is a phrase they use in PC Magazine for Pete's Sake! Am I the only one who, when seeing this phrase, immediately assumes that the author is a fucktard?

    I say we immediately begin abusing anyone who uses this phrase.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter
