And that ladies and gentlemen is what we call Bush Derangement Syndrome. I'm sure there is someone somewhere in the world with a body of work that shows achievements in peace. I think the committee should be worried. A lot of unintended mistakes can happen over the next 3 years that can contribute to large scale violence. I hope it doesn't but that is why these awards are usually held until *after* the accomplishment.

I'd tap it, photoshopped or not!

Running commercial software is an important part of the linux ecosystem because that commercial linux software doesn't write and maintain itself.

Of course I'd prefer everything GPL but let's see it as a pragmatic step in the right direction. Next get the users on Firefox and OpenOffice and the transition to a linux desktop won't be far away.

Fuck the aspect ratio. I want higher pixels per inch.

Computer displays are the same way. Twelve years ago I had a vertical resolution of 1200px in a 21" monitor. Today on a 24" monitor, that's still the best sold in any store. It's sickening.

What happens when the CIGS cells wear out?

Are they toxic? Can they be recycled?

Hop the southern border. When you get here you will never need to show documentation to get full government service. 20 million mexicans did it, so can you!

The tube monitor I had in the late 90s ran at 1600x1200. Now over 10 years later my 24" LCD is a paltry 1920x1200. It pisses me off that vertical resolution hasn't increased. There is a reason newspapers and now web pages put text into narrow columns -- readability. My eyes work fine so I don't give a crap that fonts look smaller as dots per inch increase.

Now vendors are cheaping out further on 24" LCDs by using 1920x1080 panels as the default offering. A total lack of progress.

Don't even get me started that most netbooks are using something around a 800x600 (or 576) resolution screen. Are we returning to the windows 3.0 days? I bought a 11.6" gateway netbook primarily to get the whatever by 768 display. (if only they had a matte version in stores) Again small font for more vertical lines is a trade-off I'll take every time.

I'll save my rant of GNOME's special-ed style of font and icon size (see the 150% line height on the gnome website as the first mistake) for another day.

Interesting post. I've never noticed all of the clicking because I use focus follows mouse.

These fucks are too lazy to scan the books for themselves and are bitter that Google is investing the man-power to do so.

With the current bill in congress, you don't even have to be a lawful immigrant. Perhaps that's why the government going to count the illegal aliens in the 2010 census. (presumably not asking their immigration status)

Marketing Douche: Say, how about we offer mobile internet access that won't work with mobile devices.

PHB: Great idea!!

Now that these things are getting big, who is going to popularize building them with eSATA connectors to get some good speed out of them?

Think how cool a true flash drive in your pocket would be!

I can't believe this was released in the same week where the government sponsored VA hospitals were sticking dirty anal scopes up veteran's asses and giving them hepatitis and AIDS.

I guess cleaning the ass scope isn't that fun so they decided to only do it once at the end of the day.

This is why I'll steer far clear of government run health care.
