Try Black Mirror S01E03 ;)

I have a Samsung S24A450UW (1920x1200) + a legacy secondary screen (an odd 1680x1050).

I like having two screens. The main screen has most of my work stuff, and has multiple virtual-desktops. The secondary screen is static, and shows mostly mail, irc, todo lists, and a secondary firefox window for reference stuff. (I use Gnome 3, but presumably most window managers have that option, although I moved to Gnome 3 after 10 years with FVWM, but it had become too annoying to configure correctly)

I also find it nice to have 1920x1200, and not a 1920x1080, unless you plan using the screen vertically. I even use an extention to hide Gnome's panel, which I found was a waste of space. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/545/hide-top-bar/

Oh slashdot, why so angry..

It doesn't seem like they know what they are doing:

I was completely baffled too as they almost disapeared from the market while they are much more usefull...
Also, 2560x1600 are cheap on Nexus 10 but not on 30" ?! WHY!!!

Well, useless fantasy information ending where it belongs? ;)

Niche toy?
I suggest you go play with NetBSD, you insensitive druid! ;-)

Although the main argument of the linked article on why it's more expensive, is that people tend to hold on to coins (put them in useless jars) rather than use them, so the government had to produce 1.6 dollar coins for each 1$ paper billed replaced.

In the linked PDF file [1], search for "1.6", you will find this sentence in the same paragraph:

"However, in both cases, once the transition was complete, coin
production was very low or even nil in some years. Therefore, we
determined that a 1.5-to-1 replacement rate would be appropriate for our analysisâ"low enough to avoid an excess of $1 coins without creating an undue risk of producing too few."

It was only a transition issue, there is no mention about people forgetting about those coins in jars. A 1$ coin is useful, it's what is usually given as a tip for a beer in a pub, so I find the argument that people put them in jars kind of odd..

I rarely have more than 3-4 dollar coins in my wallet. You can easily use them on a payment.

1 or 5 Â coins, on the other hand, keep accumulating unless you want to waste time counting the exact cash while other people are waiting in line. I'm glad Canada is getting rid of the 1Â.

The attachment of people in the US to their dollar bill reflects how hard, as a nation, it is to move forward.. people are strongly attached to silly symbols.

... or die trying.

Not mentionning that Bell forces people to rent a VDSL modem even when they are not their customer! :(

This is what I've gathered from forums and verified from the latest modem they seem to be shipping for VDSL service:

If anyone manages to rip Bell's parallel connection from there it'd be nice, though I'm wondering why they are the only one managing the firmware upgrades (and the many backdoors!)

Except that we forgot to take pictures, yep! :D

À tout à l'heure! ;)

What kind of challenges will they face? It's not like they're turning off IPv4. Sites will be dual-stack, and many of them have been for quite some time already.

Google/Youtube, Facebook and many other mainstream sites have already enabled IPv6 on June 6th 2012.

PS: Comcast has been enabling IPv6 by default to some of their customers (5% ?). I was in a small US country-side hotel in March 2012, they had really broken NAT, but their IPv6 was working fine. I also have dual-stack native IPv6 at home (Canada, TekSavvy ISP). Works great, lots of fun to route public subnets to access points and routers that connect with neighbours. I even announce my address block on our neighbourhood mesh network.
