last i checked, running the car for a known number of miles, on a known amout of fuel was good enough.... sure the measuring of both may be a bot off, but not likely all that far off.
and the current crop of diesels do just fine, and get 40(after being crippled by the emissions systems) highway. I wonder how the Cruze Eco would do with a small turbo diesel in it...
sure we could if cars weren't such a large investment for most, or used for such a long time... my last 3 cars have all been 10 years old or older when i got them, and I drove them all to around 13 or 15 years old and 100k miles.

Hmm that DPI problem seems like it would be easy to solve with DPI independant windowing systems... ones that display things in inches, and figure out how many pixels that should be by using the DPI of the monitor. Hopefully the next version of windows will do that and we can get away from 92 DPI...

Every LCD TV seems to have a a ATSC tuner in it. no need for the converter box at all, just hook up a UHF antenna and away you go.

what does resolution have to do with needing to use smaller resolutions? other than the fact that no modern desktop understands that pixels != points.

Link to neweggs 2560x1600 monitors, all are IPS panels, but are 30" and they are $1200-$2500.

Sure, on cable they adjust the error correction, but try the over the air stuff.

because you start needing to make 1 pixel 1.125 pixels, and that is hard to do.

or simply not being able to see the pixels on my monitor/tv.
4k2k video on a 21" screen or better yet 8k4k. and before you bitch about font size, fonts are specified in points, which are parts of an inch as displayed. more pixels should mean smoother fonts of the same size as always.
SC-37: $1500 6 speaker(including the sub): $100*6 = $600.
So you are at $2100 for that.
You can find gear between all of those prices, what you can't find is a simple system(i don't need 2 hdmi outputs and 5 composite inputs) that sounds good with some advanced features(assignabe auido/video mapping, a "night mode" so i can watch action movies at night without waking my kids) with 6 decent speakers for $750-$1500. Well I might be able to do it for 1500, but just squeak by.
hmm copier paper at a govt place may just be water marked, heavy paper, delivered in armored car and such. I could see how that would cost 73 UK pounds a ream. No where does it say what sort of copier paper it is nor does it mention any of the things that could influence the price of the "computer".
and what about copies of software? a site wide business license of windows/exchange/office? I'm sure there are some more apps in there as well. Hell AutocadLT is around $400-$600 a seat per year, and you have to buy every year, because someone in the chain will upgrade, and then you can't open the files.
Well If i want to send my blue-ray player audio anywhere in 5 channel audio, then i need something new. The plug/unplug also will not pass "the wife" test.
Same goes for my tv, i'd need a HDMI port on my receiver. I guess i could try and find a receiver with SPDIF/analog pre-out, and send that into 3 NAD amps, but that sounds really pricey.
is there a better way to search in outook other than select "all mail items" and then type some keywords in?
Also outlook cannot add labels to my mail at the server and is extremely clumsy to both add labels by hand, and use to folders.
In defense of outlook, there isn't a way to write a regex rule on gmail either... for example: all mails that match foo+*@gmail.com should have the label that matches that * applied. why do I want that? so i can actually use that feature of gmail usefully.
A lot of the stuff I see/help write, is for modeling a physical product, the code is simply a way to guess how it will react in the real world within some margin. The code is not the product, it simply helps sell the product. These products might change in such a way that the model needs to be rewritten maybe every 10 years. By then the original writer is gone, 3 versions of microsoft office have come and gone, as have 6-15 versions of the company wide selection software.
Basicly even if the old code was documented, it wouldn't matter as it would need to be re-written anyways. Knowing the limits of the model is much more important than how it works.
KDE is at fault too, why are they claiming it is system settings? does it handle ~/.bash_profile,/etc/profile, init, httpd, postresql config, etc or is it simply KDE settings?
If they are both the later (kde or gnome settings) the reasonable thing to do would be to kname them gboth "Gnome Desktop Environment Settings" and "KDE Desktop Environment Settings". Naming problems solved.
Is there lightweight DE using QT4? I'd consider dumping GTK if there was something like XFCE on that side. I generally think that QT4 looks much nicer than GTK2. KDE is just to huge, and has all sorts of bells and whistles that I don't need. A special web browser, a music client, etc etc etc.
To be honest i haven't looked, but I would not expect to see a standard on "a control panel naming scheme". Really i think the issue is that these KDE and gnome apps do not have their setting exposed in the app itself or in the case of DE wide settings, it should be ${DE}-settings. My system and my DE are separate or do these "system settings" apps really configure; init, httpd, user accounts, user shells, logging settings, and other such settings?
XFCE feels heavy when you have a lot of gnome tie in. I'm running gentoo with "-gnome -kde -qt -qt4" in my USE flags. None of the gnome/kde cruft. Granted I like gnome-screensaver better than xscreensaver, but ohh well.

there is kind of a minimum to go from tv with speakers, to "home theater" though. namely 6 speakers, and a receiver.
just to do a bit of math for you...
SC-37: $1500
6 speaker(including the sub): $100*6 = $600.
So you are at $2100 for that.
