Except no, Matrox had better working multi-monitor back in 98/ME *GAG* than anything has today.
Which is why I like my 32" 4K monitor. No need for multi-monitor setups. I've got enough resolution to display at least 12 readable usable pages. I don't need a second monitor eating up more power, and I hate that break in-between. Plus this TV has PIP mode so I can set everything up in three corners and still have a 1080p window in another corner handling a console system or movie player, or even watch tv without needing to download some crappy software and buy a TV tuner for my computer.
" It has been repeatedly shown that the single biggest and most consistent productivity enhancing upgrade you can give to almost anyone working on a computer is a second monitor."
Nope. The biggest productivity enhancer is more resolution, because even today fucking NOBODY gets multi-monitor working right. Not nVidia, not AMD, not Microsoft, not Apple, and not Linux.
Last PROPERLY working multi-monitor setup was on SGI hardware.
"Update: Just to be clear, thepiratebay.ee, thepiratebay.cr, thepiratebay.mobi and others are mirrors not affiliated with the original site. They serve old content (no new uploads)"
Except that is wrong..cr has ALL the latest shit.
Quit listening to sensationalist TorrentFreak, whom knows nothing about TPB. I run one of those mirrors. It's showing all new content down to fucking Windows 10 build leaks, and has been as of ONE HOUR after the primary site went down.
You do understand that the only thing TPB lost was the front-facing server, which we had mirrored CONSTANTLY, right? Like, every two hours.
Which means you rely upon other people to serve up your stuff, site content, ads, and all.
Now when you have an advertising CDN (and if you don't know of those, such as MaxCDN, you're still in the wrong field and need to give up) that gets hijacked and starts serving an ad with various forms of malware across your site (like what has happened on Fark.com several times,) what are you going to do?
The only thing you can do is bitch and hope the CDN doesn't serve up that ad any longer. Mean while, you've got an infected userbase that's screaming mad because you couldn't be bothered to vet and host your own advertising.
Host your own shit or don't bother.
As you can see, I know what I'm talking about. You failed to read the GP "Same-origin policy is a nightmare for use with CDNs." and you failed to understand my comment in context with that.
But hey, you keep on being ignorant and demonstrating your poor education. Same-origin policy is what helps to ensure you don't get hijacked by shit outside the site that the site relies upon.
"Same-origin policy is a nightmare for use with CDNs."
Good. Maybe people will start taking real responsibility for their sites and content. Passing the buck is lazy and irresponsible, especially in the case of advertising CDNs (and the subsequent malware infestations that spread as a result of them.) If one can't do the work on their own, they probably shouldn't be in the IT field at all. It's their incompetence and laziness helping criminals and scammers.
"There is absolutely no logical need for any single member of the class to be named as a principle plaintiff in a class action suit."
There's plenty of need. There must be a representative of the affected class. Otherwise it's just lawyers bringing suits frivolously. There must be a damaged party. This is like basic fucking court proceedings.
"Only in America can you continue a lawsuit without a plantiff."
Except slower-than-fuck Slashdot FAILED to realize that A LEGITIMATE PLAINTIFF was found. The judge, defense, and plaintiffs have all examined her and the judge said 'one and done' which means this person was found to have legal standing for the suit, and dismissed all other potentials that the plaintiffs had lined up to stand in, just in case.
And this was known like YESTERDAY.
Slashdot - sucking corporate cock and letting story details languish for days out of check.
Not any longer. I sold off the actual business a couple of years back and went on still making my own stuff. I usually get my customers directly from Google Helpouts. I fix their horticulture problems, they're usually more than happy to buy stuff from me, or contract me out for development work, from LED lighting to designing and building the entire facility for the client. Yes, I pretty much do it all.
Current development - driverless AC-direct flickerless LED. Just need a better remote phosphor with some persistence, I've already tamed the driverless/circuitryless problem, down to only requiring a simple resistor. It's all in the LED config, otherwise.
For the sole purpose of killing bugs, you'd have to get outside of the range of light plants can utilize for photosynthesis. We know that can go from IR to UVA (and possibly UVB) and really it's intensity that matters. You want as much as you can rationally throw at the plant without causing photon bleaching of plant tissues.
"If you wanted to generate that much via a LED bulb with an external quantum efficiency of 20% then it'd take only 6,5 watts."
At what distance from the plants?
"Is it really possible that a little 6,5W blue LED bulb could kill all the fruit flies in a square meter box - are insects really that sensitive to light?"
Yes, they are, which is why I'm selling a combo UVB-420nm broad-spectrum light to greenhouses for pest control and also additional plant lighting. I learned about the effects of blue light long ago when I decided that then-current leds using a shit 8:1 red:blue ratio were not providing enough in the blue range, and pumped to 4:6.
Spidermite problem, GONE. One of the WORST infestations to battle, wiped the fuck out, nuked from orbit.
"Of course, then the people who work with the fruit will start to have trouble sleeping...."
That's the LEAST of their problems. Let's add macular degeneration and blindness to that list, shall we? I had to have eye warnings on my LED grow lights because the blue was so intense. It was physically painful to look at the light.
"a blog post about the increased electricity costs, where they conclude it's about $8 per year in the mid-Atlantic area -- if it's being used."
And this suit is being filed in CALIFORNIA, where the price of power is much higher.
Next off. That modem isn't secure. Man can make it, man can and will break it. Period. You guys thought the latest TLS was the bees knees against POODLE and BEAST and BAM someone just said "We can act like it never fucking existed" in an article on this site, not even two days ago.
"Comcast could give everyone a $1/mo credit for enabling the Xfinity WiFi Hotspot, completely eliminating the issue."
And make up for it with bullshit fees, tariffs, taxes, and still never apply the credit.
"But no-one will click that option because there's already a fantastic Linux distro for mobile called Android."
That security-lacking piece of shit? The one where app developers simply rape your permissions and personal data and force you to grant them access to EVERYTHING even though their program sure as fuck doesn't require it for any legitimate reason? That Android?
We've got LARGE-PLANE LEDs now that require that much power. We're past COB arrays. Get with the times or don't speak about a subject you know nothing about, yea?
"Ah, so you're just waving your dick around hoping someone will be impressed."
Not my fault you're too incompetent to Google and realize Cree has had this tech out for nearly a year.
Which again, reinforces my point - beyond your imagination, because you can't even see or find out for yourself. You seem to lack the cognitive ability. Pretty typical of a 7-digit UID holder.
Come back when your player actually supports multiple formats, like mine. In fact, it prefers text-based subtitles and has.srt capabilities plus the ability to include a system font of your choice for text rendering.
What's sad is I paid $15 for it in Wal-Mart. What'd you pay for your blu-ray player with a tenth of the capability?
Yea, which is why when the Google Helpouts Beta started, I had to go through HOURS of testing, vetting, and former employment history with references in order to be a service provider.
Try professionally-vetted, and come back when you can even touch my level.

Better monitor > multiple monitors.

TorrentFreak doesn't run one of these mirrors - I do. I see all of the new content, including Windows 10 build leaks.
Perhaps you should listen to someone actually involved with the stuff instead of a sensationalist reporting site.

You fucking idiot, TPB was back online within the hour it got raided.
Magical things, 'mirror servers' can be. Perhaps you should fucking learn to utilize them.

300+ lumens per watt and rising.
In other words, beyond anything you currently understand or have likely ever seen, let alone imagined.
