Well, you screwed up. Windows 2003 is based on XP-64. You should've looked for XP-64 drivers and they would have installed just fine.
And it sounds like you didn't install the proper video adapter drivers or your display had a shitty EDID. Plenty of widescreen monitors support 4:3 resolutions and scale to fit the panel. Have since the early 90s, AFAIA.
Considering I've had lots of experience over these start-ups (I worked for one of the biggest LCD supplier on the planet as an engineer, and I worked in their optics division) these people ARE FULL OF SHIT and fooling your supposedly brilliant ass with marketing.
I bet you fall for the "300w LED" (when it's only drawing 150w) bullshit marketing, too.
Yep, you go ahead and laugh because you're too lazy to read the contestor's wikipedia link and see the massive warnings written overhead compared to my chosen article, which has FAR BETTER SOURCING and ZERO WARNINGS at the top of the page.
" For example, binocular vision, which is the basis for stereopsis and is important for depth perception, covers only 114 degrees (horizontally) of the visual field in humans;[5] the remaining peripheral 60–70 degrees have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the visual field)."
114+70 = ?
The placement of your eyes DIRECTLY EXCLUDES the possibility of seeing "Not quite 270 degrees" Your eyes cannot move 90 degrees in socket unless you've got seriously damaged or weakened muscles.
And your wikipedia article has so many warnings at the top of the page as to pretty much prove the unworthiness of the article.
Yea, please come back and talk to me after you've worked for one of the largest display manufacturers on the planet (Chi Mei) as their panel design engineer and optics alignment (we were doing VR headset wel before Oculus and others - remember the old Networked mech game in the arcades? Chi Mei designed those panels and VR headsets.)
AKA I've got years of experience over your fresh college-trained boys.
Try again when you're actually up to date with technology we had since the 90s.
"The new Doom really shows this nostalgic trend all by itself. The gameplay footage shows that they were definitely looking to approximate the feel of the original"
Nope.
They fucking ripped off the idea and implementation of Brutal Doom and slapped it in what looks like nothing more than a half-assed incremental revamp of the Doom3 Engine.
So desperate for a 'revamp' that they went and ripped off the ZDoom/Zandronum modders idea for their fucking game.
A ton of us are pretty heated over that. What's net? id/Bethesda/Zenimax ripping off the Shotgun Frenzy or Stronghold mods for Doom and claiming they 'made' a new Doom?
Best human peripheral vision INCLUDING looking as far to the side as you possibly can only results in about ~190-195 degrees FOV. Binocular vision is only ~115 degree FOV.

It's called a discussion. Perhaps you should learn how one is structured in a civil manner.
Lush was a failing company that practically bribed its way back into some sort of social relevance.
You can almost bet top dollar that money exchanged hands between them and Google.
"My guess is that there's a lot more to this story than what we're seeing. "
Typical backroom dealings as expected from a UK company that practically bribed its way back into relevance.
It's like they forgot the unpredictable factor of drunk motherfuckers and idiots on their cell phones.
" many startups create interfaces between the internet and the real world, and timezones matter a great deal in the real world"
Uh, no. It's called UNIVERSAL TIME. Any informed and modern start-up runs UTC and does not fuck with silly shit like Time Zones and DST.
"It most certainly is NOT unfair when weighed against the wild claims made by proponents of homeopathy."
You must not spend any time in a Doctor's office.
Tell you what, you go get hit by a truck, and need a good chunk of your skeleton replaced by titanium and ABS/Kevlar composites and nickel.
Come back to me with a straight face when the doctor suggests Reiki therapy afterwards. Yes, TWO doctors did that with me.
It's PLENTY FUCKING UNFAIR given you people are ignorant of the bullshit REAL DOCTORS spread on a daily goddamned basis.
As long as that flippity flappity antenna doesn't short against itself and shorten the antenna length, it's not THAT much of a problem.
Yes, it is unfair, because the PLACEBO EFFECT (which is essentially what homeopathy relies upon) is ever closer to scientific validation right now.
"I don't believe that I've ever known anyone that either believed in or took homeopathic potions as cures. Who actually buys that stuff?"
Steve Fucking Jobs.
You keep on laughing, then.

Unless your eyes are on the side of your head like a dog or bird, you aren't getting past 200 degrees FOV IN ANY SITUATION.

You failed.

Highly trained engineers, eh?

"and in a great timezone whose business day overlaps with that of the US east coast and many Asian markets."
The internet gives two fucks about time zones and London is in a bad one. I deal with Australia/China/UK almost every morning in Southern California.
London sucks. It's not even close to being a tech hub. Jimmy Wales has zero clue what he's talking about.
Closest thing to a 'tech hub' the UK had was O'Neill Modern Media.
Here's why.
The FF team leadership has consistently said that they will not remake FFVII until they feel they have a Final Fantasy game that will EXCEED FFVII.
Which means they must think FFXV is going to be the next FFVII.

Here's a relevant quote for your dumb ass, too.
"Note that eye movements do not change the field of view."
You're stupid, aren't you?
Best human peripheral vision INCLUDING looking as far to the side as you possibly can only results in about ~190-195 degrees FOV. Binocular vision is only ~115 degree FOV.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yep, you're stupid.
Given the normal human eye has roughly 95 degree FOV, two together would be 190 degrees.
All those wasted pixels and the need for more powerful hardware to drive what you can't even fucking see.
Uh, I've got Minecraft done with JET. Mods work JUST FINE.
It's like you don't even know how dependencies work.
Dude, if you needed a CUDA card, the 980ti is DOGSHIT compared to a K2 GRID.
Quit fronting and admit you don't know jack about hardware.
I've managed to get the browser window as small as 128x96 with a fuckton of toolbars and BHOs.
They should've used Excelsior JET instead.
