    What if America was a real democracy

  2. Re:DreamCatcher has a new Animatrix Mini on New Animatrix Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    Animatrix Mini called "Final flight of the Osirus" and I have got to say I was Totally Embarrassed.

    Apparently you didn't hear about the original name

    "Flight of the Resurrection"

    After the other movie bombed, they renamed it.

  3. Re:How often do you move your monitor on LCD Overtaking CRT · · Score: 3, Informative

    I rarely move my monitor. Actually never.

    If you like a high refresh rate then you will LOVE an LCD. As much as you don't want to hear it, and LCD is MUCH better on your eyes mainly because of the refresh rate. Because if a pixel doesn't change color, then the refresh rate is infinitely fast. That is why LCDs shouldbe set at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. No more headaches for you. EVER.

    And I have yet to see any ghosting on my Dell FP2000 or my sgi 1600SW. Cheap LCDs may ghost though.

    I'm sure brightness is the same or close to a CRT, but picture geometry can't come close. On my LCD every line is PERFECTLY straight. No CRT can claim that. And 2 years from now, every line will still be perfectly straight.

    Other nice things include 4 inputs on my FP2000; DVI, analog, S-video, composite. And I can watch the S-video or composite signals for Picture in Picture inside the DVI or analog screen. Very nice.

    About the only thing CRTs have over LCDs in color trueness. But LCDs are catching up fast and this really only applies to graphic designers who need to use perfectly color calibrated monitors.

    Still kinda funny you said not to mention 'better eye sight' and 'I get a headache' in the same sentence.

    I'd love to have one, but for the 800 bucks I'd shell out for a decent 15" LCD

    Umm, where the hell are you shopping?

    I just bought a Dell FP2000 20" LCD running at 1600x1200 for $750 with free shipping directly from Dell back in December.

    You can routinely find 19" LCDs for under $500 if you do a little looking.

  19. Re:phrase on How Configurable Should a Desktop User Interface be? · · Score: 1

    Just wondering, what's so great about having scroll bars on the left? Is it more intuitive for lefties or something?

    It is more efficient to have the scroll bars on the left because the mouse spends the majority of the time on the left side.

    Of course this changes when you have a language that reads from right to left.

    I can save most people the trouble of checking out the site.

    1/2 the widgets are clocks.

    1/3 of the widgets are newsreaders.

    The rest are silly widgets that do nothing but take up space.

    All of them are HUGE and take up tons of desktop space.

    If you want to check their forums, I can save you that trouble also. 1/2 the posts are people having orgasms over the product and 1/3 of the people are complaining about the price.

    Right now the widgets don't do anything that menu items or docklets do much better.
