Comment Exactly what IBM did, but IBM did it easy. (Score 1) 94

IBM's T221 monitor, the now ancient 3840x2400 22" 200dpi display, did the exact same thing.

It had 4 DVI inputs (newer models can support 2 dual-link DVIs), splitting up the screen into 1-4 stripes, depending on your bandwidth and setup. It's also directly plug & play, with no setup issues whatsoever on Linux, for what it's worth, and max frame rate is simply bound to how large each link is offering.

I've got a single card driving 2 T221s at a whopping 12Hz (single-link DVI each), and some low-res 30" 2560x1600 monitor with the displayport connector. 22 megapixels from 1 card is pretty nice, and I could be driving the T221s at 24Hz if I had the dual-link DVI connectors.

They were very flexible in their setup, not sure what Asus did here to make it a pain to set up.

This is no different than doing business with any foreign entity. If you buy physical product from some offshore supplier, local business & warranty laws don't apply to them.

If you're dealing in data with a foreign entity, that entity is not bound to your local data laws. The only difference is that now in the "information age" regular home users are exposed to the risks involved.

Comment Re:This vs Tor in Layman's Terms? (Score 1) 68

Currently, to use Tor a program must be written to communicate through Tor's SOCKS proxy, which apparently Windows doesn't support well.

This, in theory and if I'm reading the bits of the description properly, would allow you to run any program that talks basic internet protocols and route its traffic through Tor without any changes to the program. That's similar to how a firewall can change the internet permissions of a program without touching the program itself.

Comment Re:Time To KIll DHS (Score 1) 192

What makes you think the republicans want to kill DHS? For some reason, "conservative" too often means desiring to blow everybody else up in the name of security/freedom/whatever, foreign or domestic. There are too many terrorized politicians and predatory opportunists on both sides of the entrenchments.
