Thanks! I did RTFA, Brilliant observation btw. How did you get "Looks like 4 monitors running 720x900 snapped together" from "You can see the seams between this monitor's four segments"? Did you need your calculator for 2880/4=720? Who has ever seen a 720x900 monitor? It is exactly twice as wide as a very common wide screen monitor resolution, which to me looks like 2 monitors in one.
Off and on for about 10 years I have tried various Linux distros (Red Hat, Mandrake, and now Ubuntu). In the past I always ended up going back to Windows because I was not able to handle all the issues I ran into. I tried, usually for weeks/months but in the end became so frustrated I gave up. Feisty and Gutsy have been the first Linux distros that I had virtually no problems with. I have no thoughts of getting rid of Ubuntu. I Dual Boot, XP/Gutsy mainly for games and my wife's college requires office 2003 or newer. I much prefer Gutsy to XP.
My Dads eye's are "sensitive". He had me put black electrical tape over the num-lock light on his keyboard because it bothered him. He never uses Caps lock, and I don't even know what scroll lock does so I guess he's good for now.
The popular growth of videogames has been more or less tied to a minimization of distance, and an increase in tangibility; making the player feel like he can touch the world, and that doing so will matter
I never felt more "in touch" with a game than when I played Dungeon Master As games have become much more advanced, I still feel like you move through them with only a cursory awareness (or remembrance) of the surroundings.
i mean a really big bright one that eats the whole sky
I know it wouldn't be a comet, but, I have thought about this in the past. Wouldn't a few hundred pounds (or more) of sand ejected from the space shuttle so that it had a slower velocity create a really cool, massive, "shooting stars" display?
Marketing and the quest for the next amusingly expensive generation of graphics card seems to have replaced the fun games.
I understand your point, but my 2 favorite games are StarCraft & UT99. Thats why my fastest machine, up till about 4 months ago, was an Athlon 2500+ with a 64meg Geforce3 Card (now Geforce 7600GS w/256meg-$99 on Newegg).

Maybe they'll be able to grow a brain so I can replace this one I got from "A. B. Normal".

SCO claims BluRay using proprietary SCO technology and is pursuing a cease and desist order against Sony and other companies listed here.
Can any graphics card handle the sort of fill rate required from this yet?
Are there any games designed to run at 2880x900?
Their refresh rate is based on 60hz which is where they got their .02 refresh rate (1/60hz)
.02ms not .02s. hz is cycle/second not per Millisecond.
The article says
Looks like 4 monitors running 720x900 snapped together
1440x900 is a common LCD display resolution. I'd say it's 2 monitors in one.

All I want them to do is make a simple, light OS that stays the fuck out of my way

WTF? I thought that the reason windows is so bloated and crappy was 'because it has to maintain backwards compatibility' ?
Nope, turns out windows just sucks all the way around.
sounds useful
then why does it keep displaying $847.63
Maybe it runs Vista, it will ask "are you sure" about 50 times.

With as slow as Vista is at copying files, it would take months to copy 16,400 of them.
What does that tell you? Ha? Ha?
/.er. You used 690 in your equation. Completely missing to opportunity to "69"x10.
