Eleven years ago you could buy a 24" monitor that could do this resolution, and 21" monitors that did 1600x1200 were commonplace. Inch for inch a 4:3 monitor will have more usable space than an equivalent widescreen display, they got popular because companies figured out they were cheaper to make and gave more panels for a given investment. Marketing convinced people that instead of getting an inferior display with less usable space they were getting the Next Big Thing.
I've been waiting for resolutions and refresh rates to catch up to what they were a decade ago ever since we made the switch to widescreen flatpanels.
You're trying to set up one of those hotel style "Welcome to our network give us all your money to see the internet" pages to let only your sunday school students reach the internet? Or are you trying to block the guests off your network complete? Since this is tagged as wireless why not just use WPA2 and set up your students, classes, or whatever with access?
Not sure what the point of one of those hotel pages is here.
Really? Mainstream you say? So that means that I can go and get a can of that shit right next to the Krylon at home depot? I refuse to call all the wonderful and yet somehow never actually mass produced or implemented scientific advances "mainstream". By the time any of these have a hope in hell of getting to the shelves, say in 10 years or so, we'll already have moved well beyond them.
I call bullshit, I attend one of (if it isnt outright by now) the largest universities on the east coast and our academic integrity policy is essentially one step shy of physically branding a giant C on the student's face. The first time someone is caught cheating the professor gets to do whatever they want with the now defunct letter grade, they get a "Z" in the course, if they try to drop the course they're re-added so they can't avoid the grade hit, and they can't retake the course or get the Z removed until they complete a mandatory ethics course and redo the original class. The second time they're just plain fucked.
And all of this is outside of the academic penalties they can get ranging from multi-term suspensions to flat out telling them to get the fuck out and never come back. Getting a "Z" outside of borderline cases is essentially a one way ticket to starting your degree again at another university. IF they take you.
I repeat:...the FALLACY that in order to make a UI that appeals to new users you MUST automatically get rid...
Do you think they would've been doing worse if they'd still gone to windows 95 but kept the powerful features available for when people needed/wanted them?
No, it's not a problem at all. The problem is the fallacy that in order to make a UI that appeals to new users you must automatically get rid of everything that your old users liked about the original. You CAN have both, just bury the option to switch somewhere that only the old power users will find and you're fine.
As near as I can understand this they're entangled so that vibrations in one are indistinguishable from vibrations in another, they both do the same thing at the same time (or near it at least)... doesn't this imply the ability to entangle two whatevers and transit information via entanglement induced vibrations?
That's like saying that since you started working somewhere with automatic doors you keep walking into your houses door instead of using the f#@%ing doorknob.
Don't forget the number of phones that don't even HAVE a GPU. I love my intercept compared to the old blackberry I had but even with an 800mhz cpu there are times where I am painfully aware of the fact I'm rendering in software.
Which is why I think for wireless data the only viable solution with current technology is to go for lots of short range high bandwidth wifi routers and just have phones use their cell towers as little as possible for data.
Don't forget the profound physiological effects of excessive exposure to solid h2o, getting crushed under ice in an avalanche is pretty unhealthy as well.

Or you could go find a used trinitron that will run this same resolution and was made about ELEVEN YEARS AGO.
Cold, Warm, or Hot blooded refers to the horse's temperament.
Well played sir, I was NOT expecting a pinball wizard reference.
Right, so when the sweat is removed from the surface of your body conducting heat with it... where's that heat go? How does the suit dissipate it?
Lunch counter sit-ins don't shut down power, water, and every storefront and business on the entire block that the lunch counter is on.

"Yo Dawg"
US politicians are not paid millions of dollars every 2-6 years by their voters.
What, you can't tell from the taste? Everybody knows Panda tastes just like bald eagle.
Honestly when you have an animal too lazy to fuck it's time to just let them go.
As opposed to americans cheering over entering Iraq and casting bitter recriminations and epithets at those who disagreed?
Given the current state of things in the US I'm not entirely sure that deserves to be in the past tense.
I'm in Florida. Don't let the tourists fool you, we're still the deep south.

Or you could get a Transformer Prime and have a laptop AND a tablet...

You payed for support, not fellation.
