    Well, he did say that if you're worried about price, you can get more resolution for cheaper in a multimonitor setup including a monitor stand.

    So, not cheap. Then again, when is the first iteration of anything cheap or affordable for the masses?

    Well, except for the fact you can drive the monitor at a higher refresh rate over hdmi. You can drive it with ONE modern graphics card. The aspect ratio IS wider.

    So, as per usual, the AC is an idiot.

    So 4 documents layed out horizontally in portrait orientation is useless for people working on documents? Audio engineers? Artists and source material? DJ's? etc...

    You lack imagination and apparently don't do much with your computer.

    Ah, the new slashdot.

    Everbody reads the crap article by a bunch of stoners, nobody bothers to read the scientific paper. Then a bunch of stoners keep replying to stuff that's happening in their head and not in the threads.

    I can certainly see how the resulting chaos caused by stoners reacting to ghosts in their head might spice up online gameplay.

  6. So you lack reading comprehension then?

    It certainly takes more than 1 person per 30 students doesn't it?

    I'm sure the 'two generations' makes it all nice and neat for you, but you're just so wrong.

    Cannabis has been around pretty much as long as humans have. The only time there was a drop in 'exposure' was during the propaganda wars starting in the 1930's by good ol' US capitalism and even that didn't last long, just eliminated all the medical supplies and drove use underground.

    Killing someone is not something that should ever be easy, and everybody who votes for such a heinous act should be responsible for it as well.

  20. Make sure she's in the right hospital! on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 1
    There are things that can be administer shortly after damage to nerves that can help in recovery. The hospital should have done this unless you're in some small city.

    It's too late for that now, but make sure that she's in a hospital that can deal with any of the complications that might come up.

    And the last, controversial part, usage of cannabinoids with extreme effort and concentration to encourage nerve regrowth and connection (endogenous cannabinoids play this role). I started losing the ability to use some of my leg muscles when I was about 5, about 13 my right leg was basically a frozen cane (I also had a tyranasaurus right arm, basically my whole right side was fucked). 20 years later after getting over my fear of drugs (friends dying) I started physio/yoga with high cbd/low thc. 7 years later I can fully support my weight on my right leg, I can do squats, hell, I can even do a double spin on it. Of course, the first 4 years were pretty much hell, and the pain after regaining movement of an area can be excruciating, but i think that has more to do with how long something has been dormant.

    Do yourself a favor and don't dismiss anything out of hand no matter how crazy it sounds. However, be diligent and do your homework. That goes for anything the professionals suggest as well.

    There's always hope, there's so much we still do not understand about how the body works or reality itself.

  21. Well, you obviously can't read very well, nor did I say it was recent. Well, except for that one redneck.

    Graph theory is interesting, you should try it sometime on the mass of data available from slashdot.

    yes, yes, a bunch of people who can't understand anything besides literalism. It's the same thing with the bible, or pretty much every other spiritual text.

    Granted, part of the problem is with people like you who can't understand anything but literalism but who also believe that literalism (it's funny that this is usually 'science' minded individuals, so all those islam fanatics would probably make great scientists).

    Jihad is important in everybodies life and yes we must eliminate the infidel where ever he is found.

  24. No, i changed what the original poster said so that it was most people. Follow the thread.

  25. There's this funny thing about autism. The researchers think they know stuff, but really, all the great insights into autism have mainly come from autists. Shocking isn't it?

    I am very familiar with the methods that these people use. Unfortunately, there's the stupid notion that autism isn't a disease it's who you are (reinforced by high-functioning autists who think they're their current state). They then try to teach you how to cope and 'imitate' certain behaviours, and yes, that takes lots of people. It's also stupid. It's like seeing somebody hobbled by a chain and ball and instead of taking off the chain and ball they teach you a whole bunch of ways to live with it.

    When just the presence of other people sends you into a heightened excitatory state, more people isn't the answer! And no, desensitization is not good in this case, that sensitivity serves a purpose which researchers don't understand.

    Autism is part of useful continuum that EVERYBODY should learn to traverse. We'll get there one day, in spite of the 'scientists'.
