16:9 for a PC is just a massive waste of screen space for most things because 90% of apps and web pages are designed, if not with 4:3 in mind, then to support 4:3 and so you end up with horizontal letterboxing all the time.
True, they are not designed for 16:9, but most are designed with a ratio of equal or greater vertical to horizontal. i.e. you can stretch the vertical as much as you want and it'll still look good. So just rotate the monitor and use 9:16. I do this on a few of my monitors, esp. the ones that I use for editing for reading the web and it works out very well.
If you use X, xorg.conf section: Section "Screen"

or your vid card manufacturer may have a custom app to rotate.
Tell that to the Egyptians. They seem to be making a pretty good go of it as we speak. They have not toppled Mubarik yet, but they seem well on their way to doing so. The protests seem to be "working" just fine.
I think the "this" in the GP was the question of why the kid is playing Mature-rated games, not the whole cheating thing.
Given that, I do think it's no one's business but the parents on what games, if any, the kid plays. We know nothing really about this kid, other than he plays games and is "autistic" yet people here seem more than willing to tell the parents that they are raising the kid incorrectly.
Numb3rs, while it was on, featured mathematicians and physicists in staring roles. The lead was whip smart and used applied mathematics in every show. Definitely a good role model and a normal, although very smart, guy. And he had a hot girlfriend. So that didn't really hurt either.
People like "YOU" are very rare, if indeed really exist. The vast, vast majority of global warming deniers do not want a sustainable, progressive approach. And to claim that the argument is against people like "YOU", when you know that the vast, vast majority of global warming deniers are not like "YOU" is disingenuous. And you know it.
It may be time to venture out and try some others once again.
I've been using duck duck go for about a month and like it. Firefox integration, !bang syntax (!flickr, !youtube, !gimages, etc), keyboard shortcuts, fall over to Google if it doesn't find anything, etc. Good stuff.
There exist these places, stores really. They sell books. I hear they even have one on the internet now. Anyway, in this place is a book which is just a list of words. This book has definitions for each word in the list. I mean, that's it's reason for existence. That's what it does - it defines words. It's usually pretty large. (Although they do sell smaller, abridged versions.) It's called a dictionary. I suggest you pick one up. Once you do that, you can learn the meanings of the words you use and we can all have an actual conversation because we have a shared vocabulary from which to build meaning and not just a vocabulary that is made up for argumentative convenience on the spot.
Err... Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Chrisopher Hitchens, Salman Rushdie, and quitea fewothers will be surprised when they find out that they are not American!

...in fact some of my own ./ postings have made the SS come to my house.
I don't believe this. How did they get your address from your user ID or email address? Pics or it didn't happen.
Two seconds of Goooooogling:
Murdoch gives to GOP
Fox News Promotes Tea Party

I suspect this won't get though your filter though. Good luck.

I think you may be missing the point of the grandparent post. This is the sound you just heard.
60's style protests don't work anymore...

And the appropriate answer would be "none of your goddamn business".
You really should stop the drumroll before you say the word or else no one is going to be able to hear it.

I don't think he'll do it. I mean check out his nick.
Thousands to access the dock connector? What does tha mean? You can get one at OverStock.com for 6 and half American dollars.
Or did you mean developers pay thousands by having to buy licenses and Apple machines to develop on? Confusing. Unclear.
Yup.

Trollers gonna troll.
Now the world has gone to bed
Darkness won't engulf my head
I can see by infra-red
How I hate the night
Now I lay me down to sleep
Try to count electric sheep
Sweet dream wishes you can keep
How I hate the night
Wow, you're an idiot. And now the whole world knows it. Congrats.
Nope.

Yeah - I can't stand those a-holes either. F--kin douchebags.
Just too bad? Iffy? *shrugs* Works just fine for me.

Keep me posted.
Huh. Never seen a clearer example of begging the question in the wild before. To assume one's future is "eternal" presupposes an afterlife.
