While you're talking about it, I'd recommend you provide healthy food to the employees in the Control room:
It might cost the company a fairly large amount each month, but you'd have a boost in employee morale, possible productivity and they'd be healthier, happier, and need less sickleave.
It might also be advantageous to have an exercise bike and treadmill or three somewhere in the room or next door. They may not be used all too often, but, again, morale and health boost. Sitting/standing at a desk all day tends to become a bit stressful on the body. If it's at a quiet time (no action) and if the exercise bike is mobile it could be moved to someone's desk and they could have a quick pedal while they watch their screens.
"...So why do so many of us turn to air fresheners to freshen what is already fresh?..."
The air is not fresh. Somehow I think you have no freaking clue as to how bad a landfill smells. I still remember how bad the fieldtrip to a landfill site we were forced to take as part of "environmental studies" was. x_x
Sorry, you're mistaking France with South Africa.

... But i LOVE my 1680*1024 widescreen. It also helps that every coder in the office has a widescreen. Nothing says 'reusable' like descriptive variables on a widescreen.
The sunlight probably aged/distorted the backing (the reflective coating on the back of the glass). The glass is probably still flat, but the backing may have changed.
Obviously you've never lived in South Africa.
There are some people in certain townships you can walk up to and order a silver BMW with green tinted windows and they'll have it for you within a week (100% stolen). Most car theft here is never opportunistic; it's organised and the thieves go through a lot of preparation before they steal/hijack cars.
the worst part is they know that if they kill the driver in the process, the cops will take longer to start searching for the car because they have to take care of the body first.
You're right. Doesn't look so bad on my dev PC.
My PC at home is setup for games, so is bright with an enhanced contrast.
that pink seared my eyes at home.

And if your bank folds?
The scary thing is it's more likely than your house burning down.
Saltwater corrodes metal, especially pipes. That's why you never see shiny metal on ships. It's either painted or rusting.

Interestingly, Africa has the highest growth in GDP in the world, just because there's so little development (and high unemployment) in Africa.
Some of the code I'm forced to deal with:
setDecDenomonationValue(intRowCounter, modGlobalUtilities.CutOffDecimalPlaces(FrontendCashSummary.getDecDenomonationValue(intRowCounter), modGlobalEnumsAndConstants.intNumberOfDecimalPlacesForCurrency
That is a single line.
A widescreen is still insufficient to deal with some lines.
It's time for a new job.

Wikipedia is your second-best friend, after google.

You still have something similar:
A USB MP3-Player which plugs into your cigarette lighter and transmits on FM frequencies.
They removed the apology and put the pic back up.

It's called TwinSim technology:

... and about 1/4th of them should be laid off.
More like 3/4, in the case of most governments.
Or a 16 year old European female ends up with an ID with a DOB from 1979 an a picture of an african male in his 30's. :/
