Sounds more like bad planning too me. For HDMI to be relevant at all compared to VGA we are talking about a screen that supports 1080p and probably is 30"+
Including HDMI means it will work on your TV. That's the point. Nobody should care what resolution it is as long as it's usable.
If $90 is "a lot of money" you should probably try to balance the setup a bit more, drop some resolution/inches on the display and get a more expensive computer.
Firstly, how is the $90 relevant? Secondly, you're assuming lower resolution is cheaper. This is probably not true; the cheapest option is the commodity option and right now that's HDMI 1080p.
Actually, people do that sort of thing *all the time*.
They do... and restaurants often say "we can't be sure, so you'll have to eat elsewhere" because they can't be bothered with it. So by your analogy (which I like) there is a risk that pacemaker manufacturers will do the same.
The RIAA and friends are such a massive pain in the arse that perhaps we should just let them have SOPA and see what happens. The parts of the Internet that will break the most are exactly that parts where media are discussed and demand is generated. Let the idiots go back to physical and OTA completely, and THEN they will see what "loss of revenue" really looks like.
Which is what we all said about GPS. And then suddenly there's Galileo, and China are launching GPS satellites too.
Point is, American politicians might think they can hold the world to ransom; these days, there will quite simply be a European Internet just as soon as SOPA and friends annoy the world enough. And then global companies with headquarters in London have an advantage over global companies with headquarters in New York. The American government will have a rapid rethink at this point.
For example, were you to discriminate against someone based on the fact that they were English, Welsh or Scottish, or even Cornish, Northern or from Norfolk, Kernow or Cymraeg speaking or any one of many other ways that people are "different" then you would be quite entitled to do so.
Yeah, but she's ginger. Gotta have SOMEONE to look down on.
(I've also just learned that "The Act also makes it unlawful to ask a job applicant questions about health or disability before making a job offer unless it is to make reasonable adjustments for interview." I'm now trying to think of a business I've worked with that HASN'T broken that law.)
You need to think about what data you are protecting, why, how you RESTORE it, and whether it needs an offsite solution at all.
If you do that properly you knock a zero or two off your technical volumes, every time.
Conversely, it's seldom worth doing that at $SMALLCO because the entire enterprise fits into a Terabyte or less and storage is cheap. The danger is that throwing it onto something offsite - whether it's disk, tape, cloud, or ferromagnetic core memory - can lead to lazy thinking about what happens when you need the data in an emergency. Even if you do business by emailing spreadsheets around you might end up with inconsistencies in your backups, and if it's the payroll spreadsheet that Daphne left open overnight for a week...
Yes, because it's still ONLY drawing power when the display changes. Even if that's 30 times a second that's still better than drawing power throughout the entire second.
If you implement something well, you won't need to go back to it once every six months.Once you've done that to the five or six key systems, you run out of stuff to fix, and that's the end of that job in that organisation.
The autofocus in {smartphone} doesn't measure distance. It does it heuristically using sharpness of image. When you touch an off-centre subject on the screen of an iPhone you are telling it "make this bit of the image sharper than any other part" and it figures out the "best" way to do that. It has no clue whether that's 1 foot away or whether it's the moon.
I often have a situation where three or four people need to temporarily share an account - how is that going to work?
Those three or four people should be placed in a group and the group given access to whatever temporarily. You're mixing the issues of authentication and access there.

I would quite like a Lacklustre KDE, if that's one where they don't remove features with every "upgrade." (Panning, and now CPU scaling)

In terms of personality, and approach to weighty matters of individual freedom, you will find that politicians fit into BOTH categories.
And that's why you'll always find me in the kitchen at parties.

Nice? Shurely "Nicaea?"
My Advent (rebadged MSI Wind) will JUST fit into the map pocket of a Gore-Tex. (10" 1024x600)
Whether you can "see any reason" or not I can tell you this is THE most useful portable device I have ever owned.

Yeah they haven't thought this through at all... you can't eat the dairy, I can't eat the sandwich (coeliac.) I bet it has a nut topping too!
The 6502 was very American.
No.. it's... Alfie Noakes!

It's good enough for photography. It's good enough for buying carpet, tiles, or paint.
I strongly prefer empirical methods in this case.
Pigs also make great functional PETs.
And yet... they eat tempeh.
Cannibalism in sci-fi is a popular choice. Weird. Some examples off the top of my head:
Farnham's Freehold (Heinlein)
(and Stranger. And Number of the Beast)
Bordered in Black (Niven)
Consider Phlebas (Banks)

Well, Inception does show that any dream can emulate any other dream...
Leave GPS switched on, but stop them downloading the maps...
