    Mica is a very soft mineral and not very suitable for this sort of application.

    Seriously, you don't need math to know that you mow in a circle, with the ejecting side of the lawnmower facing towards the center of the yard at all times.

    No, they don't have to throttle. Here in the USA, they can follow the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and UPGRADE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO.

    They are oversold and they are throttling and NOT DELIVERING WHAT WE PAID FOR.

    How is this difficult to comprehend?

    Price of gas Before 9/11 - in TN, under $1.50/gal

    Now, friends tell me (I moved to Cali) Gas is about $3.50/gal

    Inflation ain't going up THAT fast.

    Where's that low gas price, again? I don't see it.

    "It won't work with a multinational corporation"

    Sure worked for me at Solectron when HP held their repair contract over their heads and I showed that I could do the job of ten of their techs in the same time.

    I (with help of HP's threat to drop their contract if support needs were not met,) dictated my own contract terms, not the corporation.

    You haven't been watching their actions lately, have you? Teahadists and Republicrats alike essentially holding our asses hostage over non-existent fucking money, acting like the world fucking police, and trying to undermine the foundation of their governments for the profit of their friends.

    Protip: Most LCDs are NEVER runnign native resolution anyways.

    1080p is 2.1MP. I've counted the pixels a single pixel takes on the computer screen. Each pixel on my Samsung LN32A550 needs a 3x3 array of RGB subpixels.

    There's no way in hell I am running native resolution at the maximum 1080p that this TV allows.
