Advancing format has taken over the world! :errr:

Good one! But do they have iPhones? :viking:

Looks like I've reached the top 0.01% of posters on a certain forum with over 100K members. Am I a geek now? :rabbit:

Anyone been to Nepal?

Farther apart from what? Is there dead space? It sounds like I don't want one for the final TV.

I don't know, but I don't unstand the whole folding deal. Is there an addictive behaviour to folders?

Spell checker does not cure that. :(

I also prefer a second battery. When not in a device they usually hold a charge for moths.

Maybe MAC users buy a lot of them? :lol:

So it is $200. If a few bucks makes a difference in your life then printers are not your primary problem. ;)

Hmmm. I thought plasmas were obsolete. :scratch: Are they as sharp and detailed as LCDs or blurry like CRTs?

They are for sale at several sites.

I visited the big store and viewed various larger-screen TVs, with undesirable results. TVs are not identified very well, so I could not determine which was which in most cases. Some were mounted high on the wall which did not help matters. :cyclops:

Sunlight could be a problem in summer months, though I read that plasmatic TVs are extremely heavy.

I always receive the BB e-mail anywhere from a few seconds to nearly a minute before the e-mail arrives in Outlook. Is that abnormal?

:Oh: I thought you meant a post.

Ha! That was probably the reason for the article. :skepo:

Where???

That may depend if it is under warranty. Of course they could choose not to repair out of warranty at all. I'm sure there will be expensive tools sold on eb*y to open them up.

Yeah, the speakers are just too groovy. Do they come with a lava lamp? :bsmurf:

What about notebooks? The vast majority have only one drive. SSDs work fine in them, pagefile and all.

Assuming the SSD has a modern controller, what are you saving it for, posterity? :batman:

Why would you want to do that unless there are two SSDs? How much data will be written to the SSD other than the pagefile?

Somehow that is not computing. I'd rather use the SSD and HD by themselves. The chance of reusing random data is small and I already know to put the OS, apps, and frequently used files on the SSD.

..and I'm sure it will. :rr:

That case sure looks awful and inefficient besides. It will be a big seller. :cat:

In February?

Did you get any? $190 now.

Quick, someone press reboot. :cooler:

It is related to Uni; that's all I'll say. ;)

Anyone here been listed online as deceased? It is very strange.

You think it was deliberate?

I do it manually.

It's always something. Maybe an asteroid will be next. There is no insurance against that. Our sun will not last forever either.

I found manual brightness/contrast controls under the Custom (non-calibrated) setting. The contrast should normally be set to 100%. Less than that looks washed out, but may be of some use with funky analog VGA signals. I'm certain that the brightness controls the backlight. When I briefly...

The name sounds like phlegm for starters. :hurl: My 30GB OCZ drive lasts a few write cycles and then performance tanks rapidly. :tdown: Eventually I will replace it with a decent SSD on sale. X25 series and SandStorm SSDs are miles better.

I don't understand how dynamic backlighting is relevant for a monitor that normally uses fixed values from the LUT to map the output with a fixed backlighting. Maybe it would exist in a TV being used as a monitor in some modes.

But isn't that the brightness? What other control do you have for the backlight?

Do they all have contrast and brightness? I think most monitors have only a brightness. I can't find all the manual controls on mine, but I set the brightness to 100 cd/m2. 120 is the max supported by the warranty.

I'm talking octogenarians reading novels for entertainment, not students cramming for an exam. :) I'm hoping the user can navigate to a list of new books, select them and have autonomic charging to a CC or something like that.

I don't quite understand that logic. Are people are reading too rapidly? The clarity of the font should be good for the older eyes.

There were no fights allowed when I was in high school, which was rather longer ago than you. ;) There were only a limited number of openings for students and one had to take a bank of tests to get in. Anyone screwing around was given maybe three small strikes or one big one and then kicked...

:erm: Sorry, too late for a revision. Are they any good?

Does anyone use the Kendle or can recommend another eBook reader? Can the elderly use them without too much trouble?

What is the difference? You practically have to find someone with a PhD now to write a decent paragraph. :(

Sure, but 24" is not standard for most office work. Or maybe it is somewhere and I don't know. At most of the places I visit users have 20-22" monitors except where there is a special business need such as publishing or CAD/CAM workers. Where I work it is no problem to request two small...

Whoosh. That all went over my head. :scratch:

About 25% of the people at work have their monitors set to a low, non-native resolution. I have one of the older LCDs, a 19" 1280x960 (or is it 1280x1024?). It is fine for the purpose, and certainly better than the skimpy 20" 1600x900 small-pixeled monitors they have been installing lately.

I bought some 3rd party batteries a few years ago for a notebook. They were fine for about 6 months, then lost capacity and finally shorted out after a year. :( Japanese cells, my ass.

You are more qualified than most. :mrgrn: Bad LM, bad. :smack:
