I got a cheque for $43.12 in the mail for using a service called ValuePay for four months. Sure, it wasn't big money, but it was worth the pain of having an ad while surfing the Web. The Web is full of banner ads anyway, one more at the bottom of the screen isn't really that annoying.
After those four months the company went bankrupt though...
No points for you! Come back when you've learned to spell "first"!

LCD Round-up

no more areas of the screen that you just have to deal with distortion on... Cant count how many monitors are just slighly curved or crooked in the corners or discolored in a fashion that even a degaus coil won't fix.
You mention the faults of some CRT monitors yet forget to mention the faults of many LCD monitors. A lot of LCDs have multiple dead pixels, which also cannot be fixed, and many vendors won't even let you return the monitor if it has 4 or less dead pixels.
LIGHT and small
While it is true that LCDs are much lighter than CRTs, they are also more fragile, so you have to be careful when you carry them around.
low power consumtion...
LCDs also cost a lot more than CRTs, so while you save some money since they use less power, you aren't really gaining anything, unless of course you are concerned with saving electricity in case we run out of flowing water.
multiple input and or tuners built in
Many CRTs have multiple inputs. Besides, most of the multiple inputs on an LCD consist of a HD15 input and a DVI, so you don't always have two analogue or two digital inputs. On the other hand, most CRTs contain two analogue inputs. What is the point of having a built in tuner? You can just buy a PCI TV Tuner, which will not only allow you to watch TV and give you Composite, S-Video, and Component Inputs, but also allows you to apply filters to the information being input, as well as recording the information to your hard disk drive. Besides, integrated tuners on LCDs are just a gimick. LCDs still have a streaking and a colour reproduction problem. For the price of the integrated TV tuner, you could just buy a 19 inch or larger TV, which would do a much better job.
2 keyboard and mice
What is the point of this? If you needed to connect two keyboards and mice to two different computers, then you could have just used a splitter. If you just wanted 2 keyboards, then I don't know what to say.
is likely to allow refreshes up to 70Hz in the first generation, but they believe it may even extend to ~150Hz in the future - put monitors to shame in every which way!
What good is a refresh rate of 150 Hz going to do LCDs? LCDs are already capable of refresh rates of 75 Hz when using the analogue conection instead of the DVI. However, this does not solve anything. The low refresh rate of LCDs isn't really the problem, and having a refresh rate of 150 Hz certainly isn't going to improve anyting since LCDs don't refresh in the same way that CRTs do. The "streaking" is not caused by a low refresh rate, but instead by a slow pixel response time.

Yes, and if the State of the Union Address had been delivered as a Slashdot post, it would have also been modded down as a troll...

"Wiedersen" is spelled "Wiedersehen" and Freund should be capitalized.
That is all.

AUTOMATED domain name system? So I DON'T have to manually add every host on the Internet to my HOSTS file?
Someone could have told me this a lot sooner!
