I'm using dual 17 monitors right now and thinking about getting a 3rd one. Can I ask you which addtional hardware that you use for the third screen? I have an ATI X300 card with VGA, DVI, and S- outputs only.
Thanks!
First of all, I do web design almost for a living. So I will pretend that I know a thing or two.
No visitors and you have to rely on Fenshui and Vastu to lure them? WTF? This smells like total bullshit all over the place. It also spells R I D I C U L O U S
If you want to attract more users, do the followings
advertising well. Everything now needs marketting.
nice site with good looking graphics, just don't get too flashy. But wait, myspace site doesn't even look nice and the flashing ads already make me half-blind. Maybe there's something more...
GOOD CONTENTS. I don't come to Slashdot to study design or page layout. I come to slashdot to read. I ain't coming to a porn site to see how the CSS and the cool AJAX works. I ain't coming to wikipedia without making some stuff up along the way and do some vandalism (just kidding btw). Got milk?
Something to give the users, like... free ipods.
Do some serious users studies (crazyegg.com, or the new google thingy). I wonder why Nielsen Media Research are still making billions but for sure they don't rely on Fengshui OR the Vastu crap: "Give me $100 million for the study, our fenshui books told us your site is a piece of crap so users don't return to it."
Not using the colors (#D5E191 and #EBF8AC to be exact) that are used in the webvastu.com site because those colors are pretty dull and if you ever get on slashdot, your ass will be raped so many times with rofl comments.
get your site slashdotted. that will surely help.
In this age of science and yet the fact that this "Dr." woman caught on popular is an amazing indication that some CxO guys are extremely, sorry, stupid.
So here's something from Buddhism: karma - cause and effect. If you follow this woman's "advices", your site will soon be vanished. Don't blame the media for popularizing her, blame your stupidity to listen to bullshitter.
Sorry for the bad language, it's late (2:33AM) and I am trying to be as critical as possible.
Here is a copy of the ToS of BuyUSA I found from a forum (http://www.ehmac.ca/printthread.php?t=25083)
Buysusa reserves the right to refuse any customer for any reason. You understand that in order for Buysusa to make you a copy (OEM) of any software, you acknowledge that you are the legal owner of this same software, and are looking to just make a new copy (OEM) for archival (backup) purposes only. You also agree to destroy all copies of the software in the event it is ever no longer voluntarily in your possession. You understand that only the licensed owner (with a valid serial number, where applicable) of the various software found on Buysusa may use the services located here. You also acknowledge that the software you have was obtained legally and that you have the legal right to request this backup (oem) copy to be made. If you obtained your version though any other means, including any pirated versions, or if you do not already legally own the same version of the software requested, then you may not use this service. you also agree to hold Buysusa harmless for any damages that may occur for your failure to follow the U.S. Copyright and other laws as they pertain to the backup (OEM software) you are requesting. When you purchase any backup (oem) copy of software through Buysusa, you agree to assume full liability in the event your actions are deemed illegal. Buysusa does not condone software piracy and has every intention of complying with the laws pertaining to the duplication of software. By placing an order for software, you declare and warrant that you are provided all material on an "AS IS" basis, and Buysusa makes no representation or warranties of any kind. All title and intellectual property rights remain those of the respective content owner and any intellectual property protected by laws and treaties, without grant or rights to use, and not to copy or print. Any such documentation, serial number, activation services or material that is accompanying any software or document is provided by Buysusa only as documentation or to ease installation in the event your originals are lost, with no basis of value. The laws of the State of Florida will govern this agreement.
Well, you are paying to have a copy of the software you already have. Weird but people did fall for this crap (e.g. if you have the software, then what's the point of having a CD back-up?, can't you do it yourself?) Anyway, I have my backups on torrent sites as little.torrent files awaiting me to "back them up". In the end, I won't fall for this BuyUSA thing. That's for sure.
Actually where I come from (Vietnam), software are 50 cents and you can have 3D Max to Office 2003 to AutoCad to Visual Studio to You-Name-It crap. We didn't call it illegal software, we called it CD which we bought that happened to have software on them (much lucks and coincidence). The sellers made 10 cents profit on the revenue of 50 cents and we "paid" 20 cents for casing/ label printing and another 20 cents for the cost of the disc. Ironically, part of the knowledge gained from the CDs-that-got-stuff-on helped thousands of software engineers in Vietnam (or any other 3rd world countries) learned about computer science and then do outsourcing jobs, producing more software for the corporations. The circle keeps repeating.
I don't bash bootleg software as for 3rd world countries, it's the best thing that can happen besides you have enough food to eat for the day. But ripping off people by selling them bootleg software and buy yourself a ferarri or lamborghini or jet-fighter is just wrong. I wonder why the IRS didn't visit this guy earlier and the FPI busted him any sooner.
It's NOT about the BATTERY! It's about the clever idea. Yeah, people didn't make the first computer while they were afraid of wasting bulbs.
I was amazed by this guy's work. It's creative engineering. I would personally challenge anyone here to do something like this and get on SlashDot. It's weird that people just like "this is normal, shouldn't be on slashdot" Well, that person shoudln't comment either because his/ her idea is not worth enough to get on/.
The idea of the camera phone + mouse is something new and *c*o*o*l* (notice the spelling) that phonemakers should include in their phones. I don't use my phone to take photos because the quality sucks. But I'll be using the phone on the road as my mouse because It would bean any mouspad major @ss and one less thing to carry. How about a retractable USB cable to connect to the computer instead of bluetooth? That will help the battery if you are concerned. And how many geeks will seriously have a legitimate reason to invest in a new and "high-res" phone. How much money that would bring in for phonemakers? So, in the end, if you don't see the idea is brilliant, that's okay. But to me, it's pretty amazing.
People are generally missing the point of things like the post about Dvorak. Dvorak is right on the money on his question and opinion while most normal people just don't see anything.
Again, if you are good enough, do something that got featured on Slashdot before writing bashing comments. Otherwise Slashdot would become better without you and your comments.

is this idea originated from the novel 1984?
