Are CRTs History?

DreamWheezer asks: "I work on a medical imaging program that uses CrystalEyes for high resolution true color stereoscopy. This program requires high resolution high frequency true color CRTs. Very recently, a vendor trend has developed: almost all are dropping out of the CRT market in favor of LCDs. Unfortunately, LCDs cannot render high resolution page sequential stereoscopy. The vendors have said that autostereo LCDs are on the way in 12 to 18 months, but what can I do in the meantime? Furthermore, does this mean the end is near for CRTs?" While there does still seem to be a market for CRTs, it seems to be dwindling to a narrow niche. Are LCDs ready to take over as the primary computer display or is the retirement of CRTs, premature?

Heh....that explains the text on their page:

Nu kanske du undrar varför vi gjorde så här?
Vi ville bara göra er uppmärksamma på att The Pirate Bay snart kommer i en ny version.

Translated into English (courtesy of SYSTRAN), the page reads:

Now perhaps you wonder why we done so here?
We wanted to only to do your to notice on that The Pirate Bay near comes in a new version.

[OT] Your sig is offensive.

Slashdot: where racism against Indians is OK

Per subject. Granted, so are the comments inspiring it -- but claiming that such comments are representative of the community as a whole is an injustice to everyone else here.

Hi,

This is offtopic.

Are you aware what your sig says?

I don't mind, I'm just making sure that noone changed it on you and you never noticed because you don't have sigs on.

Yep. I checked it just now, just in case someone had bothered to mess with it. It's exactly what I set it to after I changed it away from "I think I want to punch you in the face."
