Dude, move away from the GUI. (Somebody probably hard coded it not to push that high of a resolution so as to not blow out the 95+ percent of monitors that can't handle it.)
Post your config file and someone here will fix it for you.
There is not a single feature supported in Windows that is easier to configure in Linux.
You don't program much do you?
Especially using a non-Microsoft IDE...
Here, install Perl on Windows.
Then, install MySQL on Windows.
Both "work" on Windows... for various definitions of "work".
Then, let's see you compile the Perl modules for the MySQL drivers on Windows.
No way in hell it is easier on Windows than Linux. (Yeah, ActiveState has a precompiled module... that isn't the point. The point is that with Linux you can compile as needed. Easily. Much more easily than on Windows.)
When it comes to Perl on Windows... you are out of luck if you need to compile something.
I bought at 5 and sold at 10... never dreamed it would go to 20, I mean seriously... who thought there were that many silly people in the market.
I felt sure that there were enough silly people to push it to 10 tho.
Didn't have the balls to play on the short side, because I can't tell who all is in that bed... so, I couldn't really tell how long the ride was gonna last.
I think one of us may be mis-interpreting something... the parent of the person I responded to appears to be doing just as you say.
Changing his beliefs to fit the evidence.
And, that is what I pointed out to the person I responded to... that he was at least incorporating the evidence into his beliefs instead of ignoring it.
I said: I don't see how it is different from a cult. They are the same... simply different stages.
To which you replied, in part:
cult (dictionary.com): A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader. The followers of such a religion or sect.
Exactly... This would be Jesus and his followers.
Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.
Like Jesus... or Mary...
The object of such devotion.
A bible... or cross...
An exclusive group of persons sharing an esoteric, usually artistic or intellectual interest.
Bishops... priests... pastors...

And the rest of your post explains also what I was saying.
Christians were in the minority, a cult, until they killed off a lot of the people believing in other religions and thus no longer were a minority.
So... they moved from cult status to religion status.
Same thing... different stages of the game.
My post meant nothing about the origins of the religions... simply that the difference between cult and religion isn't as clear cut as religious people would have others believe.
I'm still confused on why *all* the Dinosaurs died 65 million years ago, yet the rest of land animals (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds) survived.
Maybe they didn't all die immediately... could have been their food that died immediately.
Fry all the plants, they grow back the next year, but... dino can't wait a year.
Religion is a bunch of people that share the same superstitions... I mean, beliefs.
I don't see how it is different from a cult. They are the same... simply different stages.
Christianity was a cult until they killed all the people from the other religions that they could. Ironically, many of those people were Muslims... Just about a thousand years ago.
Am I to believe that this happened and somehow it was so beneficial to the new species that they prospered more than the organisms that were reproducing asexually?
Yes, you are to believe it.
Try buying a house on one income... then try it on two. Now you understand the advantage of sexual reproduction.
Secretary calls me up and says that there is a problem with the server and I need to fix it because she has some important document to work on.
I ask her what makes her think the server isn't working (she did not use a server).
She says that the little box on the screen is moving around like it always does before she logs in (Windows NT) but that it says "No Server Input".
I say: huh?
I've never seen Windows show that screen before...
So, I try to pull up the machine via PC Anywhere... no go.
I try to ping it... no go.
I ask her to describe it again. She says it looks like it always does, but it says "No Server Input".
Frustrated... I climb into the car and drive to her site.
When I look at the monitor, well... it looks nothinkg like a Windows dialog box (which is usually grey in color).
It is a nice colorful Red-Blue-Green "rainbow" colored box... that says "No Signal Input".
You guessed it (I hope)... the monitor is on, but the computer isn't.
So, I boot the computer and all is fine.
When she asks me what I did to fix it (she disapeared as soon as I got there, like most of them do... especially if you need their password)... I told her that I had to reboot the server.

And... try that in Windows.
What I just heard was that your users no longer bring their problems to you.
Your company should as why.

You don't run X, do you?
He said unexplained.
;-)
Care to share the the "power button set to restart X" trick?
TIA
Bingo!!
I don't use Windows (much) because the software I want to run doesn't work well, if at all, on it.
Besides, if I really wanted to run Office... I'd use my Mac OSX. (Which also has Linux installed...)
My main win2k install was actualy done in 2000. None of my other machines have ever been reinstalled, and they've been running fine.
Congratulations. Not everyone is so blessed.
What keeps me from running Windows?
When I turn it on, I wonder if it will actually boot.
When I turn it off, I wonder if it will actually shutdown.
In between the two, I wonder what the hell it is doing.
Simple... I want my computer to do what *I* tell it.
Sounds to me like you can't tell the difference between morality and legality.
They are not the same.
Thanks for reminding me.
Backups are stupid in windows. You can't simply copy the files off to another location and then copy them back later.
That would be too fscking easy.
Windows won't run the programs I want to run.
Linux will.
I use CF cards because of what they don't offer... Secure Data/Digital capabilities.
I don't want someone telling me I can't copy stuff to or from the card because it is "secured" due to copyright.
If I want my data "secured"... then I'll use the "appropriate" level of encryption.
But, it will be my choice... not some multimedia conglomerate's.

And, I'm still not rich. But... it didn't hurt.
Non-religous zealots (Communists) have killed just as many people in the last 300 years as Religious people.
Dude, communism is a political and economic belief system. Not a religious belief system.
Hope you didn't pay for that education...

Perhaps you meant to post to the parent also?

Works out the same
Hm... I'm thinking hippo.
I'm also thinking breathing in the water would be easier than walking with all that weight.
WTF do I know... it is all conjecture at this point.
At least he is trying to incorporate the facts into what he believes.
A hell of a lot better than ignoring them.

It forces cooperation.
Not if it doesn't work with my computer.
For me, it isn't about "hating MicroSoft". (I don't care enough about the company to hate them...)
Excel doesn't run on Linux... and, I run Linux.
Hm... which spreadsheets are accessible via a browser?
Let me get this right...
1) Clinton is a liar
2) Clinton had the same intel, and said the same thing Bush said
3) Bush is not a liar
---
Let's do it again
1) Clinton is a liar
2) Bush and Clinton said tha same thing
3) Bush is not a liar
Did I get that right?
---
Now, the truth (as I see it).
Clinton got intel, and could not get confirmation... and thus, did not act on it.
Bush got told what he wanted to hear and did... because that is what he wanted. (Jesus freaks are like that... not too swift.)
End result... Bush is Iran's bitch... too stupid not to fall for the trap.
Easily manipulated.
Not fit.
Next...

That's really confusing!

Mission accomplished!
