ESNs do seem like a better way to establish marketing data and to serve Minority Report style targeted ads (or criminal suspect tracking) than MAC addresses.
Homo as a root often means "the same". As in homosexual, or homonym. If you classify some dolphins (like Killer Whales) as sentient then it could be a sentient on sentient attack resulting in homicide.
I agree. Eve online is pretty interesting from the standpoint that the devs seem to be taking the reverse tack of other MMORPGs. Rather than throwing a big ol' banhammer at in game strategies that challenge the infrastructure they've created a work around to allow it. If only it didn't use yet another point and click, leveling grindfest, as it basic game mechanic...
I don't think quantity is going to be a problem as Humongous 4k LCDs become mainstream. It's the next inevitable "thing". I'm just suggesting a practical use for it.
FWIW I was primarily responding to the "we all would" statement. I'm not saying everybody wants what I want.
I really don't want a monitor on my desk right in front of my face and I've always disliked wasting my desk space with a monitor. This is at least a commonly enough held opinion, that it is rather easy to find massed produced ways to get around the "problem". I'm also not so confined by space at work or home that I "have to" sit close to the wall. For me it's about 4 feet from eyeball to wall. I also would not say that any of my clients are more confined than I am. But I'm being anecdotal with currently only having a support sample size of a few thousand people in about 50 local companies.
I use a pair of smaller monitors at work that are mounted on those spring loaded metal arms, so they don't sit on the desk. And you can just position the monitors however you need. And you can get cheap (not spring and hydraulic but still serviceable for smaller monitors) versions (~$20 each) at Monoprice. So that's an option. Though I believe the ones at work cost about $350 for the pair when they were ordered and today run about $100 for single arms. If you prefer working with multiple higher resolution monitors and/or with monitors with different native resolutions these are certainly a viable option.
Of course there is another consideration.
I believe around 1:10 people under 45 have hyperopia (farsightedness) and I think by 65 it's a malady that affects the majority of people. Reading glasses or bifocals are fine correction for books, phones, and tablets. They are less than ideal for monitors. The better solution is to just get a bigger monitor with whatever resolution you want and move it further back so that that you aren't squinting.
"Furthermore, If you sit closer than 31" to a 40" monitor at 4K (as we all would), "
Why the fuck would I do that? Just put on the wall behind your desk. If you see pixels get a smaller monitor or just don't sit so close. If you can't read the text get a bigger monitor.
I do understand the OLD argument about 4:3 vs. 5:4 vs. 16:10 vs. 16:10
But a 4k monitor is 2160pixels tall, so your only concern should be getting one big enough that you don't have to use increased font size to read notepad.
It replaces 4x 25" 1080 displays with a single VESA mount. You mount it on the wall behind your desk. Use 4K for work and 1080p with a modest videocard for games. Sounds just about perfect.
I'm not saying it's perfect for most people, but I'd prefer it to the 3x 32" 1080x1920 (sideways mounted) monitor setups I'm seeing.
Those ads are eerily similar to some McD ads that I always found creepy and weird. I've wondered what drug I was supposed to be taking that they would not appear repellant.
Those that actually care about the world that our own or even your grandchildren will live in will provide for them. You can go on with your meaningless life secure in the idea that you just didn't have the time to make it worth anything at all.
But that country long ago established that their constitution was a "living document" that could be "reinterpreted" to mean things fairly close to the opposite of what was written. Otherwise, rich folk there would own their own personal fission munitions, with Fighter Jets, and Tanks to deploy them.

Note to self: Design and market a bigass copper heatsink for mobile phones.
I saw them testing this on Top Gear.
They should all go to a big field and then sort out their differences with boffo weapons.

You just lost my dog's rape fight. /Willard reference.
Sculpture is copyrightable. Colt should get their AR-15 receiver on display as a work of art ASAP.

By saying "almost everything" do you mean PC FPS games?
Exactly. 4k eclipses the argument. Heck, the argument against 16:9 has been moot since the switch from 1360x768 LCDs to 1080p panels.

I could see a repeat of the HP Touchpad firesale. The Best Buy I got my Touchpads at had bins full of them and a line short enough to buy multiples.

Honey Badger don't care. Honey Badger don't give a shit.
That's a perfect response. Thanks. (I can't stop laughing....I think I'm gonna throw up)

Thanks Queen's English pendant, for being more concerned with Arse vs. Ass linguistic colloquialisms, than your own legal rights.
Keep a stiff upper lip and stay calm, Richard.
