No it's not.
If both monitors are in portrait mode, you get 1536x1024 (HxV). If they're in landscape, you'd get 2048x768.
The only way you could get 2046x1536 is if you have four of them.
My wallet has my ATM cards, Credit Cards, ID Card and my Work Electronic Access Card as well as my Octopus card. The Octopus sensor can read just the Octopus card from all of that junk.
Also, you can get watches with the Octopus circuit now, if you're too lazy to go looking for your wallet, but the sensor is usually on the right hand side of the gate, so so watch is a little awkward. (Handier for the buses, which have the sensor on the left as you go in, however.)
Thirdly, there is a small discount (about 5%) for using Octopus on either of the main railway systems.
As to why HK has the best transit system in the world: Well, many parts of the city are built on thin coastal strips between the mountains and the sea. When you have a long, thin city, you can easily stick a heavy rail system down the middle of it and it'll serve almost every one. Most of the stations are less than 500m apart, and located in very densely populated areas. The train frequency is 1 train per minute in the peak times, and the trains are air-conditioned. Also, mobile phones work in the tunnels, so you can keep in touch with your wheeling and dealing (or talking about food) which suits yer average HKer down to the ground.
Alternatively, you could grow a real one, but hook two pieces of wire over your ears and tell you wife that it's actually a fake one. "see? it needs some wires to stay on."
RH's autoconfig is pretty good. I can only recall one case of needing a driver because the supplied one didn't work, and that was something relatively unusual like a specific gigabit ethernet card. Otherwise, the stock kernels and installs have been fine.
Well: a) the cubit isn't a precise unit of measure.
b) pi *is* 3 to zero decimal places. It's certainly a reasonable approximation if you're measuring things with your elbow.
c) Are there any instances of precise measurements in the bible? (Apart from the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.) dave "Lord, what's a cubit?"
No, what the GPL says is that you can sell your shirts to anyone, but if anyone asks for it, you must give them the pattern for the shirt, so that they can alter the basic shirt to suit themselves.
It's doesn't really work for shirts. Let's say we have GPL Ale. Each bottle should have the recipe for making the ale on the label so that a) people who buy your ale can make more for themselves if they want and b) people can clearly see what's in your Ale. If people make more Ale from your recipe, then they're obliged to put the recipe (and any changes they've made to it) on the bottle *if* they sell their own GPL'd Ale.
but a book which illustrates that you can sell utter shite to people as long as it's 'gifts for others' demonstrates an enormously important marketing principle:
It doesn't matter how shite your product is as long as someone else will give you money for it.

Yep and the signs are bilingual, so you see the distance in miles next to the English name, and the distance in km next to the Irish one like so:
Dublin 160
Baile Atha Cliath 256
Confuses the heck out of tourists.

Actually, the internet was designed so that, in times of nuclear war, the US Military would always have access to pornography.

Not really, Xerox invented many of the original concepts in the 1970's. Apple popularised them.
