    Actually, the N2 doesn't break the heart, the hammer does.

    Some would argue that the N2 is actually superfluous in that situation.

    Why am I a troll? Parent abandoned a friend because he decided to not report himself for a crime. If parent doesn't do exactly the same, he's preaching what he doesn't himself believe or adhere to. That's the very definition of hypocrisy

    Would it be more /.-friendly if I said that his friend qualified for the tag "andnothingofvaluewaslost"?

    Do you turn yourself in to the police station when you accidentally run a red light and no police officers are around to witness it? How about jaywalking? Littering? Any of the other minor infractions you are guilty of?

    If you're say you do and you're not posting from prison, you're a liar and a hypocrite.

    You make that comment by not consuming media from the entities backing this treaty.

    Note: The word I used was consuming. You must not buy, borrow, rent, steal, duplicate, distribute, or or otherwise allow your time or money to be expended on interacting with a product of these companies.

    Don't buy media from stores.
    Don't go to your local cinema.
    Don't rent a DVD.
    Don't download rips from torrent sites.
    Write to your local radio stations and tell them you've stopped listening in protest of this treaty, and write to their advertisers. They will listen, as they can't stay afloat with nobody hearing the adverts.

    Most importantly, get your friends to join you.

    Buying products other than opium, i.e. incentives to plant other crops would be better.

    On another point, don't you think the Taliban might be a little irritated by this and, ooooh I don't know, cut off some farmers heads? I hear they've been known to do that to make a point.

    But what about those of us with families and friends IRL?

    My mate is a bank manager, and he has the 52" TV. Someone brings their 360, someone a PS3, I provide the beer, someone else brings the pizza. The weekend becomes a haze.

    He has the biggest living room and is centrally located to all of his mates. Thinking like a geek, it's a logical progression.

    I don't have a console or a TV. My PC plays DVDs, games, and TV shows just fine on a 24" TFT.

    FWIW, I've had higher-than-HD in almost all of my games for around two years, for significantly less price than an HDTV and a console.

    Nothing to do with the fact that your staff could have two windows side by side, thereby probably doubling CPU load?

    The only time I've felt that my 24" home monitor could be used effectively as a work tool (and not just for games, at least without fiddling with windows sizes all the time) is with Win7. Drag the title bar to the side of the screen and it automatically maximises to one-half the horizontal width.

    That's just begging for widescreen TFTs in the workplace.
