CRT monitors on the high end often went much higher. I used to run my monitors at 1920x1440 and 2048x1536. The only reason I don't use those monitors any more is they take up a ton of desk space. I really miss the vertical screen estate - it makes editing specs, code, and spreadsheets much easier. It is a real shame that as monitors increased in size the supported resolutions decreased. I know higher resolution screens exist (up to 2560 x 1600) but they start at $1,100, plus Samsung doesn't offer any.:(

Revealing the corruption in publicly owned businesses and in the government and seeing which politicians are bought and paid for by whom is responsible journalism. Want to keep people out of danger? Stop using war as a means to line your own pockets. It pleases me to no end that Wikileaks is delivering on the government transparency campaign promise Obama made and failed to keep.
Maybe future leaders will re-think their actions when they not only realize that future generations will consider them to be scumbags and tyrants, but there can be a very real and immediate danger to their own lives in the here and now.
Corruption is widespread and it needs to be revealed - names and all. It will serve as excellent deterrent in the future.
Kan't you see kreating names like that kan only lead to some people thinking that the projekt is not kommercial quality?
No joke - I've read comments in the past where people said they don't consider KDE suitable for business use because of the k-naming convention. Personally, I actually like it for one reason: it groups most of the KDE projects together in package managers.
I've been with them since they were Cellular One and I had a big old bulky NEC phone - They were great back then. Now, not so much. I'd love to be able to use the iPhone on T Mobile (I know, I can unlock it blah blah blah)
Fear death? Why? It's just fading away into nothing, or afterlife, or whatever there is. No matter what, why fear it?
What I do fear is the method by which I die. Will it be a slow and painful colon or pancreatic cancer from eating the typical American processed food diet? Will it be liver failure from a food intolerance? Will I burn to death trapped in a car after a mishap in a sanctioned "Open Road Race?" Or, will it be a nice painless hypoxia in a small aircraft? It's the pain and suffering I fear, not death itself. After I die. why would I care? How would I care?
That would be a trademark infringement not copyright infringement, so Namco should used a vehicle other than the DMCA. The DMCA is for copyright infringement, not trademark infringement.
Barack Obama failed to keep his promise of delivering government transparency, just as he hasn't kept his other campaign promises. The way I see it, Wikileaks is holding the government accountable and is delivering on Obama's campaign promise. As a citizen of The united States of America I am glad to see someone run a site like Wikileaks because having this wealth of information available will help dissuade future would-be tyrants from trying to pull off what the douchebags in power have been doing as they pull the wool over our eyes.
Also, isn't the timing of the charges against Assange pretty suspect? A leak was announced, warrants were put out for his arrest. The charges disappeared as the storm subsided. Another major leak was announced, and coincidentally newly released warrants were released. Please; I do not believe in coincidence.
We need whistle blowers and we need this information out in the open so people will open their eyes and consider throwing out ALL of our elected officials, and choose candidates who believe that the Constitution means what it says, and that it's important for ALL to be held accountable - even^H^H^H^Hespecially the "elite" politicians and the corporate execs they're in bed with.
The first place I read that info was on an insurance company's web site some time ago. I don't remember which company had the article posted but that is how I've been adjusting my mirrors since.
Given the situation that SUSE is in right now (being spun off of Novell, with its future in question) naming a distribution after a weed often depicted in popular media as a sign of a deserted down is not the best choice.
Why not just say "OpenSUSE/SUSE users who want the latest and greatest apps can enable the 'Factory' repository?"
Saab has a neat solution for the passenger side mirror: the mirror is flat and then it turns convex at the outer edge to cover the typical passenger side blind spot. That could easily be done on the driver side if only the law would allow it.
As far as the backup camera is concerned: nice idea but it's just one more piece of electronics that will break and be irreplaceable when the car is more than a couple years old.
1) Let's claim gross loss-per-vehicle. We won't make it obvious it was somebody from the company saying it, but we'll allude to it.
No problem! Creative accounting practices can do that. Just assign all the engineering costs to one brand by using their engineering group and claim that marque is losing money, and use the produced "IP" in other brands under the GM umbrella, don't let that brand use their own designs for new product so that the brand's product line goes very stale and sales become very sluggish, then either close or sell the brand. Wait a second, that sounds like what they did with Saab!
GM did it before and can do it again.
2) Let's not market-the-hell out of it like we do our other cars
Or, market the product as more upscale or higher end than it really is, and slap a ridiculous MSRP on it. Now, people who actually research the deals will find it doesn't actually sell at MSRP but many thousands less, but the folks reading consumer reports and the car rags and see the (few) TV commercials will never know that the selling price is no where remotely close to MSRP/sticker.
3) Let's pull the vehicle once we get sympathy for our losses once our lobbyists have softened up congress.
We (the taxpayers) bailed them out, then it's to creative accounting, crappy product and then whine for another bailout in the future when no one wants their shit because they are "too big to fail" and the execs still get their obscene bonuses. We trained them to expect it!
On the other hand, the purchasers of GM's most expensive automobiles get treated just as well as the folks who buy a stripped down Cobalt.
I would say they really need to get a handle on what it means to provide quality customer service and how it fosters brand loyalty, but unfortunately there are people who are so blinded by the shiny bowtie that they will put up with the piss-poor after-sale service so GM sort of gets a get out of jail free ticket there. I would like to support American made products, but when "American" cars are made largely of components from Mexico and Canada and merely "assembled" here, and they treat customers like shit, I'm far more interested in European cars.
GM should have been allowed to fail and competitors to bid on the pieces. There are certain models I would love to see owned by companies which don't consider hostility to the customer to be the ideal form of customer service.
Modern fuel and injection management systems make it extremely easy to maintain clean emissions even while significantly increasing power output so even emission laws don't have to be broken to increase performance of your car.
I could have told you before this discovery that we don't know dick.
We pat ourselves on the back, thinking we are so advanced, and yet we have entire classes of people stealing money from those who work to give to those who don't want to, while the genuinely needy and helpless often go without any kind of aid and have to eat garbage and live in cardboard shacks. We engage in wars over really trivial shit, because a few tyrants at the top in each respective country don't like each other very much.
We certainly are primitive and clueless. But, we have our digital watches, and those are a pretty neat idea!
Palin just lost my vote. I liked her because she managed to balance the budget in Alaska and is supposedly a supporter of the Constitution. With her support of trying to take down wikileaks, it indicates she is actually a supporter of ongoing government waste and corruption.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people should be completely transparent. Every dime should be able to be accounted for, and all bills before Congress should be made publicly available before they are voted on - not hidden the way Romney/Obamacare was.

er, pollution free. Duh.
The journalist claims the energy production is entirely energy free.
