First off, their is always a lag on LCDs vs CRTs (though not that bad), hence why they aren't used for video editing generally, many gamers don't like them, etc... If upon changing drivers, video cards, whatever, or testing it on another system (btw, perhaps the card is having issues with the dual monitors??? I doubt the two are connected via an RGBHV splitter or da.), just have them replace it. Remember, you get 30 days full satisfaction no questions asked; they know you can just return it if it has a Dell logo, so they're going to try to help you out before biting the cost of having to take back a monitor and refund the money.
Second, I've had the 20" Dell FP for a long time (2+ years) and never had a real problem. I had one stuck pixel and had the screen replaced AND $100 refunded. Same goes for over 30 or 40 systems I've ever had from Dell for home or coprorate use, reliable parts, quick no-hassle service. So if you guys are saying that it's substandard, going to hell, or whatever, either you happened to get a bad piece of equipment/employee, or you didn't try hard enough (which isn't very hard might I add) to get a NEW replacement sent out to you. Just ask for a supervisor and you'll be transfered back into the states.
If I remember correctly, there is this company called Red Hat, that employeed some people, and made some open source stuff. There's another one that employees some people to do some open source work, I think it is called IBM.
Anyone ever here of those?
I wonder how the RF from this would interfere with the existing technology in hearing aids to "sense" the magnetic field from a telephone reciever as opposed to listen to the actual audio waves. (Know as a T-P switch on most hearing aids I believe).
Also, wouldn't your hearing aid technically not be allowed on commercial planes. How many people have been yelled at for using 802.11 and bluetooth devices already.
The whole fucking point of this discussion is that some of us don't want lethal weaponry to be available.
Well then the discussion for the other side is that some of us want defensive tools available to us, considering they will always be able to be aquired by those who will do the worst damage (such as gang-members, etc).
If you don't want to have a gun, don't buy one. But before you make a rash decision saying that you don't want your neighbor to have one simply 'cause they could kill (btw, so do power tools, electricity, and running water if used improperly enough), please first go into all nearby urban areas and tell them you don't want their "lethal weaponry" to be available. See how that goes.
It's very clear to me. Killing is wrong unless it is the means to prevent another from seriously hurting or killing you. If you can't recognize the difference between someone walking down the street and randomly shooting people, and a person attempting to stop harm from coming to themselves or others, you're a fool. If you don't realize that the majority of people who would do the first would never be effected by gun control, you're an even bigger fool.
Unfortunatly, a gun is still the most reliable method (in the hands of a trained person) for self defense. If it weren't, you wouldn't see the armies of the world carrying them.
You take your tazer (illegal in many states) and pepper spray (illegal in some states, mace is illegal in most), I'll take my gun, and if we get attacked, we'll see who has a better chance of coming out of it alive.
Computers are also used everyday to cheat, steal, swap child porn, and pleanty of other terrible things.
Acting in "self-defense" doesn't make an action morally defensible.
And WTF is that supposed to mean? Are you following Catholic traditions and willing to turn the other cheek everytime someone hurts you.
Personally I think that if someone is doing something to a friend/family member that would warrant me pulling my gun from holster, they deserve what's coming to them. Do I think killing is right, no. Do I think taking action for the preservation of your life or the lives of friends and family is right, absolutly. If the attacker ends up wounded or dead, it was their choice to perpetrate the attack.
Remember, the people who would be/are affected by strict gun control or gun bans are generally the citizens who are responsible with their firearms. The gang-bangers and murderers whom you speak of will still always have knives, guns, assault rifles, etc regardless of any ban placed on the citizens.

So do toilet bowls and hammers in the white house, so it seems.
