yep, sorry. I checked and you are right. I confused popular contrast ratio 1000:1 with brightness. So my parent poster was right - that LCD will glare too much.
heh, speak with confidence on/. and you get moderated up.
I wonder if this thing can do black that actually looks black, or if it just gets the high contrast ratio by being able to produce whites brighter than the sun?
it has a brightness of 500cd/m2. still too light for me, but much better than 1000cd/m2 which are far more copmmon.
and by the way: original announcement. Why They are posting links to such crap websites in the original story?
It's about how the government ignored the disaster in Orlean. Is it all true?

Irwan,
Thank you so much for your thoughts.
Much appreciated.
I have thought long and hard about my statement below, but these things need to be said. Just as many people in the U.S. were interested in what really happened in Aceh, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, etc. with the tsunami, I believe many people in other countries are interested in what is happening with our disaster along the U.S. Gulf Coast. What is happening in New Orleans screams out to exposed for all to see.
A personal note. I am now living near Washington DC, but was born and spent much of my early life in New Orleans. My father is buried in New Orleans. So many of my boyhood friends have old family homes along the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama coast lines. All gone now.
Many people here will be working to assist the disaster victims.
But it must be stated that this hurricane caused two disasters. Two disasters, very different, and must be dealt with in very different ways. This is painful and embarrassing, but some facts about the two disasters need to be said.
1) The hurricane missed New Orleans, passing just to the east,
with strength to inflict significant but not catastrophic
damage in the city. It was the breaks in the levees around
New Orleans that caused the great tragedy there. Could the
levee breaks and subsequent flooding have been prevented?
Yes. But soon after the present Bush administration took
power, ongoing work on the levees, already in progress, was
stopped by cutting the funding. Several new projects,
critical to maintaining the integrity of the levees, were
halted. Local officials, Louisiana elected officials to our
national Congress, all raised their voices in protest of
these cuts. In speech after speech and newspaper article
after article, strong voices were raised, warning that the
levee maintenance work was critical, and would open the city
to flooding by a hurricane if not done. The levee work was
not restarted. Why? Statements were made as to why the funds
were needed elsewhere: (a) the coming war in Iraq (big U.S.
firms can collect US$30,000 per month per employee, charge
US$1,000 a day to feed soldiers) and (b) tax cuts for the
most wealthy Americans.

of course it's their policy. Just like breaking kerberos protocols, complicating NTFS so it is hard to reverse engineer, etc, etc...

I must thank you for sharing very interesting experience from you life. Thanks :))
can you explain why to blow air onto the HDD, instead of of blowing the air away?
I bought some HDD coolers myself, and I thought that blowing air away is better, hence I don't know why I thought that.
So what are pros and cons of blowing air in one direction or another?
