Also isn't your comment about a year too late to be relevant?
Indeed. Even Walmart is offering greater than 1080p choices now, for both monitors and TVs.
1920x1200 is no longer something to brag about... adjust accordingly lest you start to sound like an old person.
Playing a video with breasts in motion is actually one of the best ways to check for screen tearing issues...
Agreed... the best Linux desktop experience is at Xfce.
As long as you have no need for tear-free video playback, anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I've got XFCE on one my own machines. But still having this sort of show-stopper issue in 2015, on open source Intel graphics no less, is embarrassing to Linux.
Where is BeOS now?

Progress is very slow, but it's still going. Don't bother with the Alpha 4 download, try one of the nightly snapshots instead.
Jupiter emits more heat into space than it receives from the Sun.
(I agree with you, just playing devil's advocate).
Really, the only categorization issue that I'm adamant about is that Pluto-Charon is called a binary. The Pluto-Charon barycentre is not inside Pluto, therefore Charon is not rotating around Pluto, the two are corotating around a common point of space between them. That's a binary.
The barycenter of the Sun-Jupiter system lies at 1.068 solar radii, outside the Sun. Do you think they should be called a binary?
Classic joke, but it obscures the fact that an actual solution to these jokes exists.
Uranus's Roman name is Caelus and since all the other planets use Roman rather than Greek deity names in English, there is no reason this name could not be adopted for the 7th planet.
I agree... but let's give a link, shall we?
6 on the left half is a side effect of the continued stupidity of staggered key columns.
He should have used a TypeMatrix as his base to work from.
No, there are four brothers. The youngest two are twins.

The only planet whose north pole is not on the same side of the Ecliptic as the Earth's north pole is Uranus.
Venus's axial tilt is 177 degrees, that's about "not on the same side of the Ecliptic" as it could be.
first floor in British English = second floor to Americans, first floor in American English = ground floor to Brits.
Does this difference also occur in elevator controls?
I still have my PS1 (128KB) and PS2 (8MB) memory cards.
Decent rant, but he contradicts his own argument about how the USAF only likes sleek, fast air-to-air planes when he rambles on about how they loved the ugly, slow, air-to-ground F-117.
Plenty of Iraq pilots got shot down by missiles far beyond the 100miles range without even ever noticing the F-15 or F-16 that shot the missiles.
Bullshit.
The only operational US missile to have sort of range was the Phoenix, which was carried by neither the F-15 nor the F-16.
It was launched exactly twice in its service history on the F-14 with no hits scored.
Cobol programmers are down in the dumps.
