Cleverbot? Is that you?

The movie studios do not care that the MPAA looks like goons and everyone hates them. That's what the MPAA was created to do and that's why the studio keep them funded: they take all the bad PR on behalf of the studios. They are a front to take the bad PR.

From the Adblock Chrome website:

X windows machines, Y Mac machines, Z Unix machines all controlled by a single keyboard and mouse with no extra hardware or cables. Sound useful now?

I'm going to get sucked in eventually anyway (other people posting photos of me, etc). Might as well stake my claim so I can better control it once it happens. Best offense is a good defense, &c.

I don't plan on using it, but I registered a few accounts preemptively. I've got a few people in the world with the same name and when other search for it, I don't want them confusing the other person with me. I can use the Google+ accounts to link to my preferred on-line presence.

So they should bill themselves as a place where "regular people" meet? I don't know that anyone would show up. If you're looking for like-minded people, regardless of area, you have to search/find/look for some noun - might as well make it a fun one.

You may have missed the phrase in the write-up that makes highlights the difference between your father's garage and this place: "...crawling with a diverse crowd..." This is where people who build stuff can meet and talk about building stuff.

They do not. Therefore OP is lying about visits from the secret service.

And how is your real name and address associated with a slashdot user id? If the information is not there, no amount of gov't thuggery can magically make it appear.

I don't believe this. How did they get your address from your user ID or email address? Pics or it didn't happen.

Two seconds of Goooooogling:

Murdoch gives to GOP
Fox News Promotes Tea Party
Hannity shows rally footage

I suspect this won't get though your filter though. Good luck.

16:9 for a PC is just a massive waste of screen space for most things because 90% of apps and web pages are designed, if not with 4:3 in mind, then to support 4:3 and so you end up with horizontal letterboxing all the time.

True, they are not designed for 16:9, but most are designed with a ratio of equal or greater vertical to horizontal. i.e. you can stretch the vertical as much as you want and it'll still look good. So just rotate the monitor and use 9:16. I do this on a few of my monitors, esp. the ones that I use for editing for reading the web and it works out very well.

If you use X, xorg.conf section:
Section "Screen"
        [snip]
        Option "rotate" "ccw"
        [snip]
EndSection

or your vid card manufacturer may have a custom app to rotate.

I think you may be missing the point of the grandparent post. This is the sound you just heard.
