2560 by 1440 on a 27" monitor. And, in a normal seated position I can make out the individual pixels.
Right now I am on my Dell M6400 Precision Mobile Workstation with a 17" 1920x1200 display. I'm looking at it from about two feet away as a type and I can read it just fine, no problem whatsoever.
Maybe you need glasses, but many of us do not. I'd like higher resolution screens, please!
That reminds me of an incident I had with Worst Buy, Remember their Christmas season ads where they showed easy returns, and a dog returned a video? Well I had bought a VHS box set (obviously this dates back to the '90s). The box set had NO mention of aspect ratio so I asked a clerk and they had no idea. They said bring it back if I wasn't happy with it. I decided to buy it, took it home, and found it was fullscreen/pan&scan, so I went right back to Best Buy to return it. I was back in less than half an hour and they said they can't take it back because it's media and has been opened, and how do they know I haven't watched or copied it? I reminded them of their ad showing people (and dogs) returning videos, and they said "Well that's just an ad" so I asked them "Oh, so what you are telling me is that you willfully commit fraud?" They still refused, until I threatened to dispute the charge.
They earned the nickname "Worst Buy." I'd rather pay more elsewhere if the option is available.
Was it a shrubbery with a second shrubbery, you must placed beside the first shrubbery, only slightly higher with two-level effect, with a little path running down the middle?
I just hope you didn't run over Roger the Shrubber - you know, the man who arranges, designs, and sells shrubberies!
That is one of the reasons many call Best Buy "Worst Buy." Some might say it's like calling Microsoft "Micro$oft" but those slurs didn't come into existence for no reason. Best Buy's prices are usually nothing great (I bought my Pioneer Elite receiver from a real hi-fi shop for less than Best Buy/Mangolia without haggling over price), they push worthless warranties on disposable $20 gadgets, and hard sells on overpriced botique cables that with few exceptions are no better than dollar-store cables. I've witnessed salesmen (er, I mean, uh, "associates") outright lying to shoppers (I usually keep my mouth shut - but I have spoken up a couple times when they were ripping shoppers off), and are generally clueless about the product they are selling.
Years ago I bought a camera from Best Buy on the day the model was released and the salesman was making up "facts" as he went along, obviously clueless about that model, and photography in general. I bought it there because it was convenient and I needed a new P&S camera right then and there. I've never bought any DSLR there and would never buy one there even if they beat Calumet's or B&H's prices.
I have shopped there for speakers but ended up buying online. Why? They only carry Klipsch's entry-level stuff (Synergy and Energy) - actually all of the brands were just low-end models. I couldn't find a local Klipsch dealer which actually stocks the Reference line so I got on Amazon and found authorized dealers, contacted them outside of Amazon, got great advice and bought from their Amazon storefronts. The pricing was average but the info and recommendations from folks who actually stock and know the product is invaluable (they actually down-sold me on speakers).
It's a neurotoxin that causes paralysis by disrupting a neurotransmitter that's present in insects but not in warm-blooded animals. It acts on contact.
Does it also affect reptiles and other cold-blooded animals, or just the insect world? I'm just curious because I wonder if we feed this to politicians and lawyers it might solve all the world's problems and result in world peace.
PAL-V went from design to fully-functional flying prototype and starting on certification in under four years, with little hype or PR.
Moller Skycar has been under development for over forty (yes, that's 40!) years and still no untethered flying prototypes, but lots of hype and PR surrounding the project, with many scheduled flight demonstrations cancelled.
As much as I want to believe that Moller is legit and the SkyCar is real, because of the boasted performance envelope and potential for IVR flight (plus the failure mode of wankel engines generally is just reduced power output, not catastrophic failure), practically everyone thinks Moller is trying to sell snake oil, bilking millions from investors.
Even though PAL-V looks like it will be strictly VFR (it looks like it would conform to the Light Sport Aircraft type), it looks like a winner because it is a real product.
Save sanity by telling channels that nobody is watching their stupid programs. (So they're motivated to not air such complete garbage.)
I'm sorry, but there is no killing shows like Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives of $foo, Teen Mom, Ice Road Truckers, and so on. They're just too cheap to produce for the networks to say no to crud like that and yes to quality programs which require a full staff of talented writers and actors.
That is because they fear such topics 'could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students.' Dinosaurs, for example, call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists
Does anyone really deny dinosaurs existed?
Also, why on earth are they seeking to offend EVERYONE by making these tests so completely politically correct?
I guess 42 really is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, and as it turns out, the ultimate question is: which resolution has a huge lead on Windows 7 machines? I'm sure it isn't quite what Deep Thought had expected, but there you have it.
The only reason that streaming services haven't completely phased out Blu-rays is the fact that a majority of the consumers don't have a fast and reliable Internet connection.
Wrong. There are many reasons:
* Not everything is available for streaming
* When a film or TV show is available for streaming today, it doesn't mean it will be available for streaming one month, one year, or five years from now
* An Internet connection is required for each and every device you wish to view movies on
* No extra features such as commentaries, deleted scenes, etc.
* inferior video quality
* Few streamed movies offer DD 5.1, let alone DD7.1, 9.1, 9.2, or 11.1 or 11.2 nor do they offer DTS nor other enhanced surround standards
* With a DVD you OWN that copy (evidence: Sony, Disney, etc. all advertise "Own it on DVD today!" or "Own it on Blu-Ray today!" They never say "rent a revocable license on DVD today!" You BUY that COPY and OWN that COPY, just as you OWN a book. (yes I could have used bold for emphasis but this needs to be drilled through pundits' heads so "yelling" is appropriate)
How much is a 2TB enterprise SSD that fits into a SAS or SATA sled, and how much would it cost to build a RAID6 of them (eight "drives" - 2 parity) for 12TB usable storage?
How much to build a 96TB SAN utilizing off-the-shelf hardware (meaning SAS/SATA form factor, backplanes, RAID controllers, etc.)?
What? You say it can't be done yet?
Hard drives aren't dead yet by a long shot. When you need moderate to massive storage capacities, what is the alternative? Hard drives, and when you need to store more, more hard drives.
How is this even constitutional? Unless the vendor has a state presence, this is a matter of interstate commerce, which is the sole domain of the Federal government. Why the fuck does government have to tax every fucking thing that exists? We really need to clean house at all levels of govenment because spending is out of control, and the we're demanded to pay in taxes is absurd.
Well, I suppose you could have a microphone inside the car and use a reverb model of the car to cancel out the desired sound from each of the car's speakers, but that requires a fair bit more DSP and provides no real benefit over an external mic with an equalizer....:-)
Some cars actually have noise cancellation systems.
Modern speed-sensitive volume can usually be configured through a menu accessed in the trip computer, head unit. or whatever your car uses for the UI to owner-configurable settings.

Oh, sure, they'll keep saying it's safe until Godzilla rises from the sea and wreaks havoc on Tokyo!
Nice trick with Geoworks, but the 8088 is a 16-bit processor on an 8-bit bus.
Now, GEOS (the predecessor to Geoworks) did run on 8-bit procesors in the '80s, but it was in no way multitasking.

It would not be inaudible. A driven speaker isn't an efficient microphone because it is well-damped by the speaker-level audio signal.

The only enemies of Islam are the ones they created themselves. Unfortunately that list includes all non-Muslims, by their own words.
I guess both remaining Crackberry users are disappointed by this news.
You seriously need a permit to prune or cut down a tree on your own property? Is Florida still part of the USA?!

He might be okay though.
Question: is he holding iced tea and a bag of skittles?
If that were true, then food would taste lousy in every pub or sports bar & grill in existence.
Wait, on second thought, you might be on to something!

I'm so confused. I've been doing it wrong all these years, using a BFH to compress all those bits!

Preferably without a parachute.
Only if the person is hot. Otherwise, it is indecent exposure.
