I believe you are wrong and you will need to provide me with some links. Most LCD panels used for consumer LCD monitors are indeed only 6 bits per color, and are dithered in the time domain to get some sort of semblance of more colors. Why do you think one of the numbers used to sell LCDs is the response time? Who cares about a response time of 6 or 4 ms on a panel that displays only 60 pictures per second, ie every 17 ms? It's because that's what allows the dithering to happen. I happen to own one of the first and one of the few true 24 bpp LCD monitors, the SGI 1600. Of course now I can't find the one web page that showed you how to find out which kind of panel you have, but it used to be at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/. It is no longer there.
Anyways, those 300$ 24 inch LCDs? 6 bits per color, guaranteed.
We DON'T have common 24 bit LCD displays, OK? They're all mostly dithered 18 bits. This new technology, is it perchance six extra dithering bits on a real 24 bit display?
Hey, I have a question for you. Does your ass EVER get tired of you pulling useless shit out of it? I mean your rectum must look like a zeppelin by now. An LCD monitor manages to generate 1600x1200=1.92M tiny electric fields just fine right now. Do you think it's so hard to generate a tiny magnetic field? Newsflash, you retarded moron idiot chimp, CORE MEMORY DID THIS DECADES AGO. Please, go in the corner, AND STAY THERE.
It's entirely trite, sophomoric and bland. Don't get the enthusiasm for this band. I've had more musical borborygmus. I'm having much more fun listening to my Synergy and Ministry albums.
I just bought a turntable as an impulse purchase, a Pionner PL-516 for the curious. I have about 30 LPs lying around. I saw that HMV (a music store) had some new vinyl titles in stock, so I grabbed one at random, "The Arcade Fire". An abominable album to be sure, but it was just to hear how new vinyl sounds. Sounds pretty good. Got this famous coupon in there as well.
My conclusion is that this is how things should work. Obviously there's a demand for vinyl, and the convenience of digital is undeniable. Somehow, music companies got this right.
I'm not a scientist publishing stuff, I'm just ranting on a website. For what it's worth, the fly will eventually die because of the intense electric fields associated with being in the near field. Has nothing to do with the frequency. The same fly would die near a 2.5KW CB transmitter at 27MHz. Don't believe me? Try it yourself. Get a hand-held 4W CB, with fresh batteries, choose any channel, press push to talk, and wave the antenna near a "neon" bulb or a CFL. It'll start glowing. I think if you stick 27MHz in the equation you'll find that the photons have nowhere near the energy to make stuff fluoresce. Yet it does, it does...
So a cell phone tower, when you're in the far field, won't do much to bees. So I'll stick to my initial claim that a bunch of deluded people advanced this "theory". If there was *any* substance to the claim that RF could disorient bees, let me ask you this, do you think humans started using RF just last year? Did the bees get confused from the poor spelling of the SMS messages?
This reminds me of the "mutated 5-legged-frogs" scare of a few years ago. Same type of knee-jerk "OMG itz the kemiculs doodz" response. In the end, it was a parasite.
Frequency of microwave oven as stamped on the back of the unit: 2.5GHz
Wavelength of said frequency in air: About 1 foot
Yes, flies in my house are smaller than one foot. Are you a deluded brainless cretin as well, or simply unable to master grade-school math? Never mind the fact that the energy levels of cell phone signals away from the tower are about a billion times lower than what's in my oven, or that in the oven you are in the near-field with electric field gradients of the order of a 100V/m... It simply could never, ever have had *anything* to do with cell phones, no matter how many "geeks" and "scientists" thought so. Cretins all of them. I think a rant is appropriate when the levels of ignorance and stupidity are this high.
I wonder which collection of deluded vegan hippies thought that 2-3GHz RF could disorient bees, seeing as how a housefly will gladly buzz around inside a running microwave oven as the fly is much smaller than the wavelength of the RF?
I knew a guy who claimed he had Asperger's, and he could pick up two teenage single mothers to have a threesome with them. That's not Asperger's, that's sociopathy. He calculatingly chose young women with low self-esteem and parental issues so he could prey on them, but wah wah HE'S the victim. I kicked him out of my life too, but he gives a bad name to the real Asperger's sufferers out there.
"just spent about 10 minutes with a fly swat trying to kill **one** fucking fly that is buzzing around indoors"
They are very sensitive to variations in light levels and immediately fly away from the variation. However, they don't seem to have any sense of hearing in the lower frequencies so I use a vacuum cleaner to suck up annoying flies. The fly just sits there wiping its legs and by the time the crevice attachment sneaks up behind them, it's too late to take off in a hurricane and gloop! it's gone.
An inclusive statement like that should include GUIs from the early 60s (SKETCHPAD) through the Englebart demo through Xerox Star, GEOS on the C64, the Amiga Workbench, Atari GEM, etc...
Why only show the PC and Mac?
It's simply lack of circulation due to incomplete motion. Just get one of those hand gripper thingies and squeeze it about 20 times every half hour. Solved.
Those oversized balloons you see in gyms are cheap, and it takes 5 minutes to learn to sit on them. Much better than any chair, and your reputation as a free-thinker will be made!
I'd end up with the model that powers up and says "I see you as a friend" and then it walks away with the first unemployed alcoholic it sees. It *is* based on a woman, yes?

How about 1200$ to carry around one album? I still have the thing.

Sob. Now I feel old, thanks a lot. Now I have that beat in my head. Great.
Because that's what society is. You know, the capitalist individualistic one that he exploited to become rich?
