I like widescreen better than "TV" (4:3), but I like 16x10 widescreen better than 16x9 widescreen (too short).
Actually, that makes sense. Monitors have historically been available in aspect ratios of (roughly) 1.25 (5x4), 1.333 (4x3), 1.6 (16x10), and 1.778 (16x9). Of these, 1.6 is far and away the closest to being a Golden Rectangle, which would have an aspect ratio of about 1.618. The Golden Rectangle is so named because it is considered the most beautiful of rectangles, and it shows up repeatedly in both art and architecture. Frankly, I'm surprised that the 16:9 aspect ratio has had as much market success as it has, given that it's taking people further away from an aesthetic ideal that has stood for hundreds of years.
The author of 'Hack the Planet' says: 'As we take away that unexpectedly helpful cooling mask, we're going to be facing more global warming than we expected.'
...along with more CO2-scrubbing photosynthesis caused by more sunlight reaching the the ground. Did he not consider this?
Additionally, it seems the Criterion Collection is a friend of free software, having sponsored the effect to confirm x264's compliance with the Blu-ray spec.
I wonder whether the intentional removal of a major feature which was present at time of purchase, and which for many was the primary reason for said purchase, is in any way actionable.
To continue the analogy, Assembly isn't a religion; Assembly is quantum physics. It's just as mysterious as a religion, but no other language could exist without its underpinnings. It is the foundation of one's very existence (as a programmer) even though one does not directly perceive it on a day-to-day basis.

The investigation looked at a sample of the cars, selected by the NHTSA.
I'm going to go ahead and assume that this sample did not include Wozniak's car: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/02/02/1458230/Woz-Cites-Scary-Prius-Acceleration-Software-Problem

If I recall correctly, Socrates taught by answering questions and encouraging new ones, ...
By modern standards he would most likely have been labeled a troll. After all, aren't trolls using a form of Socratic irony to spur debate?
Well, enough for Spock, anyway. Any less would be tantamount to stone knives and bearskins.
... each with a payload of two lasers and a 4.6-cm cube of gold-platinum alloy ...
... which they intend to use as a duodynetic field core. 5 or 6 pounds should be sufficient.

Well, then I give them an A for effect. :)
I recently found a cache of old disks, and I'm wondering what would be an environmentally friendly way to dispose of the little space wasters???
Skeet.
I propose fig as the new SI prefix for 10^-27.
...Then again, maybe I'm just hungry.
