Stick it to some cargo truck going cross country or something similar. A railroad carriage would be fine too.
Even better would be to replicate the device so there are a set of devices claiming to be "it" and send all copies all over the country. Could be a fun game of hide and seek.
Not necessarily - the "mentality" isn't all about that. Some tools makes no sense to run widescreen. Especially tools for software development where all sides already are used for something.
The big problem is that every computer screen is manufactured the same way as TV screens and the manufacturers wants to save money and says that a widescreen is "better" for the customer.
B.t.w. Widescreen/portrait has been around for a long time, even some text terminals like Facit Twist had it where the alternatives were 80x24 or 80x72 depending on which direction you placed the screen.
The worst problem is that the ISP:s doesn't seem to get their collective butts out of the wagon to do some work on IPv6, not even offering it as a test. (OK, a few select ISP:s do, but the great mass doesn't.)
The day that Facebook, Google or some other service offers better service if you go in via IPv6 then people will start asking their ISP:s about it.
Another issue is all those home firewalls that are IPv4 only and some of them having a hard time with that...
I think that the issue of kid safety actually is something that stops kids from learning because they are in an environment so pampered that they get completely lost whenever they have to leave home.
Of course kids hurt themselves now and then. It's part of the process, but as long as the injuries aren't permanent then it's experience gained.
But from a tin foil hat perspective it may be that all these "kid safety" issues are put in place just so that they can learn how to be a good consumer and not try to understand how things works.
And a lot of useful information that exists on the Internet will be unavailable, so the disadvantages of the private net will outweigh the advantages.
Most of the problems on the net is caused by the fact that most computers runs the same OS (or OS family) which makes it easy for intruders. A larger variation in operating systems and applications would have made it a lot harder for malicious people.
There will probably be a market for both types, especially since there is a difference between paper books and ebooks. Some people read in bed and if you drop the book the worst that can happen is that you need some tape but if you drop your reader you may need a new one.
And a paper book doesn't need any batteries, which means that you can use it everywhere.
But for some reading the ebook may be an alternative. And there will be an overlap where the media doesn't matter.
Effectively there is a need for web browsers to isolate different parts of the page from each other.
A look into what Netscape had earlier with "Data Tainting" and also the "Same Origin Policy" should be considered, which would limit the interaction between content with different origin.
Another catch is the thread based model in applications (mostly a problem for C and C++ applications) instead of a process based model where interprocess communication has to be defined stricter. Any coding mistake in a thread based coding can cause one thread to trample unhindered into areas of another.
New functionality means a range of new interesting bugs.
379. Implement something new that's so complex that only one or two hardware manufacturers are able to build it at an incredible cost to the consumers.
Get in contact with a lawyer and check what your options are, but try to find a lawyer that knows what internet is about. Evidence on the net is always a tricky thing. If the registrar is in the country where you live you may have some legal options to use to get evidence behind who did the fraudulent registration.
If the domain points to a web server somewhere it's also possible to check who is owning that server and is behind the web page.
But if your address is on the registration you may actually be able to contact Registrar B and ask them to snail-mail you sufficient data to take control over the domain and then transfer it to the company that employs you. Go in and specify something like that you no longer is able to access the email account for the registration or something. When you are in control of it you may have a possibility to go back and ask them for logs about when it was registered and payment process. It's a case of following the money. However try the lawyer path first because if you find the money behind it then you can also find the culprit.
However placing you on suspension seems to be a bit hard, and you may have a case here too.

And most of their real work was done in secret, which means that many inventions may have been preceded by inventions for covert ops.
No wonder that James Bond had all those gadgets.
I wasn't saying that it was to go portrait, but a 4:3 screen of 1920x1440 would keep down the scrolling quite a bit.

You can always find them somewhere, look for Samsung 2443BW for example.
Widescreen is fine for film, but sucks for development environments. It feels like programming through a mailbox slot.
And you have booted yourself out to the left! :)
We are caught in a time warp! - Warp 9 mr Sulu!
I'll go for 10010 (as some of the readers here may recognize is a song by Adolphson & Falk)

Depends on where in the world you are.

And in some cases where a localized heat spot is what you are after a classic light bulb is sufficient.
Some pig farmers uses them to keep piglets warm. (those tiny critters are sensitive...)

So who really cares?
Everyone is cursing one way or another except very few that are taking it so serious that they probably don't have any fun either because it's a sin.
And what is a profanity other than some word dictated by some more or less religious dude?

No it's getting reborn through the LHC when it becomes 6000 years old.
How else did you think that our universe was created? Our universe was of course created through someone else's LHC.

The question is also if the pay is enough to get good engineers or they only can get fresh engineers from education.
And in Sweden the Danish brand Bøgballe (agricultural equipment, and also a town) is more or less translatable to "Gay's Dick".
Insert a large number of dirty jokes for that too...
And watch out if you are living on "Gay Road", that can also be a problem.
Or if you refer to Git Gay.
And what about the iPod zombies on rollerblades and skateboards?
And they are also going to charge £1 for a visit to the loo.
So what happens when you run out of coins? Wet your seat? That would put an end to the fee fairly soon.
