Hmm...looking at the ads on ebay..they only seem to be dual -DVI....
I've so far, only had success with hooking a macbook pro to the Dell u2711....to get full resolution with displayport....so, not sure these monitors would work?
Interesting....but what are your options when buying this for problems/returns?
I'm not worried about power problems....but the nice price is tempting, and will look at them as that I'd like to get two or three of these monitors for a nice set up for editing video....
TV is full of idiotic women, or at least dumb blondes. (Phoebe "Friends", Kelly "Married... with children") . But they're fun-loving, good-looking sluts, so we respect and protect them anyway.
That stereotype...even is almost nonexistent.
Kelly Bundy...early 90's. Phoebe...well, how long as 'Friends' been off the air?
Sitting 6' or so from a 59" plasma tv is pretty nice.
Hell, I'd like bigger if I had a bigger place to put one...why limit yourself?
For computer work, especially if you're getting into DSLR full frame cameras that are coming out...for stills and the high end HD video...a high resolution monitor is really nice for post processing.
Recently...I was looking for a new set up, both for a job I was contracting to do (windows based)...needing large screen for multiple windows at once...and also, I had just bought a new Canon 5D3, and looking to edit high resolution stills and HD video....this was on a macbook pro I gave myself last year. Contract was paying for the monitor, nice side job.
Anyway, wanting something nice, I had a major surprise trying to find something larger that 1080p.....I shopped around and finally found the best deal I could on a Dell u2711....2560x1440.
I paid about $800 on it, most priced it then about $1K.
I was shocked, not so much at the price, which was steeper than I'd thought...but at the sheer lack of higher resolution monitors out there even available.
I mean...nice that TVs are all nice 1080p, but the influence has seemingly killed the computer monitor market.
I guess like how the general public has forgotten what good sound reproduction can be, and the value of it.....we've lost how nice a higher end resolution monitor can be for working. Sure...multiple monitors are nice, but why not START with a nice big high resolution one...and later..save and pair THAT with a 2nd nice one?
Sure is nice having a LOT on one screen....having multiple 'screens' with lots of real estate on them is even nicer.....double that eventually..and..well...
LETS ALL START MAKING TECH ADS WHERE THE MAN IS A BUMBLING IDIOT LIKE
IN OTHER INDUSTRIES.
Not just that...these days, the overwhelming percentage of stumbling, buffoons in any commercial or ad or comedy these days...is the prototypical, overweight (likely deserved), stupid white guy.
You never see a bumbling, butt of the joke, ad for a idiot woman, or stupid, bumbling black or hispanic guy. Nope, I can't name one, and please link me to examples where I'm wrong...but it is now always politically ok to make fun of the Caucasian male, at least in the US.
I understand diversity on the media, no problem...but there ARE stupid people or those that make mistakes of all races and both sexes (if you only count 2...but according to many databases...> 2 are officially recognized).
It will be interesting to see how this changes in the next few years.
Depends...on a couple of things.
1. Did you lose your spine at the alter? She liked you for being a man, making decisions...leading, you're gonna change that now?
2. The "Golden Rule"...whoever makes the most gold, gets to make the rules. Unless you are one of the growing (according to new stats and news stories) you are making less than your woman.
Hey, different strokes for different folks...and of course, in a relationship, it take compromise, but man, I sure hate it in some people I've seen in relationship, and even worse in a legal marriage, when the guy just gets 100% spineless and caves into everything their woman wants. And sad thing is...in so many cases, I've seen it go to where the guy doesn't assert himself anymore, and the woman loses respect for him....and in many cases, not only walks all over him, but dumps him.
Sure, you gotta compromise....but keep being a man, and assert yourself. Most women *do* respond positively....it is in the genes.
I know a lot of guys in LONG term relationships...that the wife/girlfriend drives the car she wants/needs (soccer mom car)..and he's still driving the 2 seater sports car.
Just because you fall in love...doesn't mean you have to give up the things YOU love....as a guy.
The constitution says the laws passed by congress are the laws, just giving them the authority of the constitution.
Only as long as said laws conform to and abide by the limited, enumerated powers to make laws set forth by the constitution.....and if you read it, they are actually supposed to be pretty limited, especially on the federal level.
Remember the constitution is there to spell out what little congress and other branched CAN do...not, what they can't. They are actually supposed to be quite limited, and somewhat weak.
There are many that say that SS and medicare, actually technically, likely are UN-constitutiional , as the constitution reads currently.
If you want to change things, there is a process for that spelled out in the Constitution....amendments!!
I've still never understood why we had to have amendments to make alcohol illegal, and then another to make it legal again...yet, marijuana and other intoxicants....have been made illegal with the swipe of a pen. What happened there?
Why? I think we should do those things, because it makes the world better. What part of that do you disagree with, or not like?
Makes the world better for who? The people who's choices you are basically trying to limit?
We're grown adults here, and it should be purely up to YOU as to your legal behaviors. If you think an action is that bad that it makes the world worse...make it outright against the law, otherwise, leave people to do what they want, and let the market and other influences external to the govt. help them make their adult decisions about their own lives and actions.
They're all grown ups...let them make their decisions and live with the consequences of them.
It isn't so much that...but more that, the government is supposed to be based on that document, it is the blueprint for the govt. and protects you from overreach.
If things need to be changed, there is a procedure to do that...amendments....so, why not use them?
"The United States Constitution contains two references to "the General Welfare", one occurring in the Preamble and the other in the Taxing and Spending Clause. It is only the latter that is referred to as the "General Welfare Clause" of this document. These clauses in the U.S. Constitution are exceptions to the typical use of a general welfare clause, and are not considered grants of a general legislative power to the federal government as the U.S. Supreme Court has held:
the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution "has never been regarded as the source of any substantive power conferred on the Government of the United States or on any of its Departments"; and,
prior to 1936, the General Welfare Clause was not considered an independent grant of power, but instead a qualification on the taxing power which included within it a power to spend tax revenues in the interest of the general welfare. In recent decades, the Court conferred upon Congress a plenary power to impose taxes and to spend money for the general welfare subject almost entirely to its own discretion, including the power to indirectly coerce the states into adopting national standards by threatening to withhold federal funds. (This was a huge mistake, IMHO)
Thomas Jefferson explained the latter general welfare clause for the United States: "The laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised.
Americans weren't getting paid more, but costs were rising. Taking on debt was the answer to maintain living standards without real wage increases.
Still, that doesn't excuse people buying things they can't afford. Everyone doesn't need a large lcd tv. Not everyone needs and ipod, or a new car, or $90 tennis shoes.
If you can't afford luxuries....don't BUY them...simple enough. This huge debt people find themselves in...is NOT from the necessities of life (food, shelter)...but from 'toys' they see friends and tv showing and have to have, even though they can't afford it.
The synopsis says the article mentions this won't happen for a few generations. Hey, by then, I'll be LONG gone and dead, and no one will know who I was...so, what do I care?
no, it's far more complex then that. I that it involves emotional manipulation, and a spend it society.
Untrained humans are naturally horrible at long term thinking. People with high dopamine are especially vulnerably to this, or anything that has a quick and now feeling to the payout.. It's actually quite fascinating neurology.
Goodness, in the not that distant past, we just called it 'being a responsible adult'....and we didn't have all these horrible debt problems in our society.
Just because you are a tax dodging low life that puts the burden of having a decent society on others, don't assume we all do.
I pay MORE than a fair share of taxes...almost 10% sales tax (plus extras for booze, smokes, gas, restaurant taxes, they have a tax for everything). where I live...which I feel is much too high, compared to the crappy city services we get....
The streets are horrible, schools suck..etc. They need to reform and then talk to me about taxes.
I don't feel bad at all saving a few bucks when I can.

Music, for instance...pretty much got lame after the late 70's-early 80's.

Gotta love interpretation...have a great day!!

Hmm...can you point out in any state constitution or federal constitution where this is one of the mandates?
I've missed this every time I've gone through them....?
If so, that doesn't make any sense to me...what is a "Bring Your Own Desktop iPad", since he said BYOD iPad in the OP....?
I'm usually decent at this, but you got me here.
What is "BYOD" stand for in your context? Never heard that term before...
It should only be used as needed for funding the government and its mandated responsibilities.
Still, that doesn't excuse people buying things they can't afford. Everyone doesn't need a large lcd tv. Not everyone needs and ipod, or a new car, or $90 tennis shoes.
If you can't afford luxuries....don't BUY them...simple enough. This huge debt people find themselves in...is NOT from the necessities of life (food, shelter)...but from 'toys' they see friends and tv showing and have to have, even though they can't afford it.
What's your point?
Were you going somewhere with this.......?
That's why taxations should never be used as an attempt to modify behavior. It should be purely for revenue generation to run the govt services.
Hey, no big deal.
The synopsis says the article mentions this won't happen for a few generations. Hey, by then, I'll be LONG gone and dead, and no one will know who I was...so, what do I care?
LIve and party for now!!
Goodness, in the not that distant past, we just called it 'being a responsible adult'....and we didn't have all these horrible debt problems in our society.
Is this a new affliction you're describing here?
I pay MORE than a fair share of taxes...almost 10% sales tax (plus extras for booze, smokes, gas, restaurant taxes, they have a tax for everything). where I live...which I feel is much too high, compared to the crappy city services we get....
The streets are horrible, schools suck..etc. They need to reform and then talk to me about taxes.
I don't feel bad at all saving a few bucks when I can.
