At no point should your display be larger than the distance you're viewing it from, thats just retarded.
I think anyone should be able to experiment & decide for themselves what their ideal viewing solution might be. Take me, for example: I use a 50" 4K UHDTV as my main desktop computer display, sitting approximately 30" away from the screen. I love it! Again, if this guy decides he wants a full wall of video at maximum resolution, who are you to tell him he's wrong?
You're right; I've learned (as a Westerner) to read & write both Japanese & Mandarin, (including calligraphy,) but it required an *immense* amount of study. Moreover, this knowledge atrophies at an alarming rate, if not practiced on a more or less daily basis. My conclusion is that Chinese languages will *never* supplant English on the world scene; they are simply *mired* in the knotted, path-worked, needlessly redundant (if beautiful) Chinese writing system. In this arena, the Roman Alphabet is a boon, Excalibur to English's King Arthur.
This. A good-quality pair of noise-canceling headphones (i.e. Bose QuietComfort 15) is the ticket out of noise distraction. As for visual privacy, um wtf? What exactly are you doing at your desk that you feel the need to hide from your colleagues??
Oh, yeah, me too. I'm ever so smart & just entirely above this pedestrian fuckery. Whoever would want something like this is clearly inferior to me.
You're not only old; you're lame too!
This definitely sounds like a Chinese point of view. IOW, "Hey, they're not my close family & friends, so fuck'em." Here in the US, as harsh as some of our foreign policies are, there are many people, not just in the general populace, but in government as well, that truly want to try & help to make the world a better place.
A black nerd may well be an outcast in mainstream black culture, but not in the collective "nerd-culture". What nerds care about is technical expertise. Skills trump skin color.
Have you ever been to Tibet? Have you ever spoken to the Tibetan people? Do you really believe they "officially handed over" control to Beijing? Sounds more like rationalizing the invasion, conquering, & annexation of Tibet to me.
Trust me, I've been there. I've seen things I wasn't supposed to see. It's a bloody, cruel, murderous, raping invasion.
This makes no sense whatsoever. The article claims that *marketing* had a bright idea along the lines of, "Hey, I know how we can cut our consumer audience in HALF!" Yeah, right, marketing departments do that all the time, because, hey it's more important to support patriarchy than make money, right?
Might it just be possible that those marketing execs were thinking more along the lines of, "Hm, our audience is primarily male, set's market to our primary audience."
There's no conspiracy here, people. Nothing to see here.

I'm writing this on a 50" Seiki 4K-unit, & it's pretty great, (once you get past the intial set-up clunkiness.) 30fps is fine for desktop work, writing code, web, etc. When I want faster performance, (3D-games, animation, movies, etc,) I swap display resolution out for 1920x1080@60-120fps. After all, I'm reading this thread because my videocard is old, if not ancient, & I'm in the market.
As for connectors, this unit has 3xHDMI(A) , 2xUSB, 1xDVI, and a handful of RCA ports for sound & component video. I'm using a DVI-HDMI(A) from my tower to the UHDTV. For my NUC unit, I use a mini-HDMI(C) to HDMI(A).
I've been reading that next-gen 4K units will support full 60fps, & will be coming in the next 6 months or so..
Feeding this screen taxes my current tower-setup, but my NUC D54250WYK (with Intel 5000) runs it just fine. Can't speak upon dual monitors either; sorry.
But then, using TOR means *both* using the "proxy service" andrunning said "proxy service", as you're also relaying packets for others users, does it not?

On the contrary, if you're stating that China has a right to build islands in International waters & append them to China, then no, we don't agree. China is wrong yet again.

Give me a break! Haneda Airport is right on the coastline! Serious lapse of continuity on your part, don't you think?
Future technology & economics will differ greatly from the present context, rendering "dollar"-estimates useless. Even estimates of "man-hours" will fall away as robotic labor expands. In even just ten years, the processes of research, development, & manufacturing will again be transformed to a new paradigm.
Believe it or not, some of us actually enjoy looking serious. You can take your hipster bag and shove it up your girly ass.
Just remember that some of us have been cycling (wearing a "messenger" bag) for *far* longer than it was ever considered "hip". Actually, I like the idea of this product, but the fact is that a decent folding bicycle weighs less (~22-26lbs) & can go much faster, (especially for athletic cyclists.) I wouldn't go so far as to suggest you "shove your [briefcase] up your girly ass," but picturing your post-suppository gait does make me chuckle.

You're doing it completely wrong. You need to get a clue about viewing distance and the ratio between display size and it.
You're one of those guys who thinks he has this kick ass awesome setup because you made it bigger, but really, you just made it shittier.
You should at least get the most basic of clues from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...

And employees are not expected to add value to the company? Well then, why do we hire them?

Yeah! We'll call it "Avatar: Legend of Korra!" It'll be AWESOME!!!
No, seriously, I love that show, even though the men are all flawed & the women are nigh flawless.

This just in: Companies don't care what color you are. Rather, they care how much profit can be gained by employing your services. That is all.
