I purchased a VX924 last month ($440 shipped from Newegg). I was happy with its performance, but one thing I overlooked was pixel size. The pixels on this and most 19 LCD's are.294mm, which makes for very blocky images and text. So bit mappy that I couldn't live with it. I returned it and got a Dell 2005FPWS 20" widescreen with a pixel size of.258mm for the same price ($445 shipped). Dell was having a "sale." It makes a huge difference. I couldn't be happier with the smaller pixels, the picture is much sharper, and for gaming I see no difference in performance. Plus the wide aspect makes it great for audio editing and DVD playback as opposed to the "giant square" effect you get with the VX924.

What do you do when you realize that even one of them has been breached? How do you change your security settings to lock out the intruder from the vulerable resources while allowing you to retain access?
Didn't need to see this. I have been toying with the idea of upping my "geek quotient" because I'm so unbearably cool, and configuring four LCD panels with stills from Blade Runner flybys would pretty much put me over the edge.
Just to take issue with the headline, Broadcast Music International is a non-profit entity, so saying its profits hit a record high is misleading. They collect royalties for musical artists' radio, TV and other media performances, but they do not "Profit!" from them.
My band, which had a major label deal in the nineties but imploded in a drug fueled haze over a decade ago, still see an incremental uptick in BMI checks every quarter. Go figure.
Does anyone think that the aggressive prosecution and result of this case was partly influenced by anti-American sentiment? It's a great opportunity to stick it to one of the USA's biggest and baddest corporations. I'm not trying to be cynical...however I can't help but feel I am correct in this regard. Why, I'd stake bgate's life on it!

I agree with this guy. The performance chips may give you more straight line speed, but the safest way to get a car to go faster is to improve how it handles in corners. Improvements in springs, shocks, ride height, strut tower bars, tie bars etc. will improve stability and allow you to go into and out of corners faster without compromising your car's electronics. This is key to "lap" times or twisty roads. A car that handles well will be markedly faster than a powerful car that can't turn.
I think video games might desensitize children to video game violence, but there's little chance a child's reaction to real-world violence would be greatly affected. The two experiences are fundamentally different. Imagine the difference between seeing a castle made of Legos in a toy store and going to Buckingham Palace. If a child acts out a video game and hurts someone, that child was already capable of violence.
