In my case that would be trips/Hawaii_grandma-2013-03-04 as I wouldn't have a clue when. Most OS folder sorts help there though, some more than others.

This. Structure based on how you tend to look for things. For example, I put trip photos in their own folder as I associate them with a trip. Photos that fit a subject go in an appropriate main folder. I'm an ISTx MBTI type so name things literally which also helps search. Not only do I have pics dating back to the 80s but also was a professional video editor starting with one of the first broadcast quality non-linear editing systems, meaning being able to find a visual by name from scrolling, as no search. So I give everything a descriptive name and iterate based on revisions, a habit from my image editing days. This makes easy to find what you are looking for in specific resolutions or treatments.
Regardless though, unless your monitor is filling your entire field of view those limits are irrelevant.
*facepalm
I guess this reinforces you couldn't see the first point. And yes, the width of my screens is greater than my possible vertical view. No, my monitor can't be too close, I'm old--thanks for that reminder. Also, physically there's a keyboard, touchpad, mouse, edge of desk, between me and any display. In the future, reading glasses could technically permit a closer monitor, but further reduce the vertical range of vision, especially bifocals.
Note, this all presumes you are human, if you are a spider, with some eyes above others rather than side by side, you'd still have a greater horizontal field of view than vertical, although fewer issues with your carapace physically obstructing your view.
LOL, really? Seriously? *smh. Block one eye, measure the linear distance you can perceive with a single one top to bottom. Compare and note how much more periphery you have side to side. (Note, variations to this would be impacted by how prominent your nose is, as well as your brow ridge, really puffy/protruding cheeks could minimize top to bottom too.)
Also my eyes are side by side, so my field of view is "landscape" in nature. Even were I blind in one eye, my single eye field of view is wider than tall.
Back in the 90s is was popular for desktop publishing to use portrait monitors, until they found they could simply have as much vertical resolution with more space on the side...higher res landscape monitors.
Ignore, undoing a stray bad mod click.
You won't be playing badminton at the clubs without cash.
Most people who pay me don't have bank accounts, it's either cash or money orders.
Gas for the car? Cheaper via cash. This becomes all the larger when gas prices are higher.
Car repairs? You'd be a fool to pay electronically, when the discount for cash gives you $20 back for small services, and multiples of that for large.
Drinks at the bar? Cash means faster service, more value to your tips, less problems/complaints on tabs.
Meanwhile, every other month I know folks who have dropped phones in the toilet, lost, broken, had their phone stolen, or the person paying for their phone service doesn't, so it gets shut off. Only once in my dozen years of doing my job has a client lost her purse.
I laugh every time these articles get posted here, as there are entire segments of society for whom this would not function.
Meanwhile a week ago nematodes reached the singularity, when folks mapped the roundworms' 300+ synaptic connections into a Lego robot, which proceeded to react to moving toward a wall in similar fashion to biological nematodes.
I'd say Discovery has now truly jumped the shark, except snakes can't exactly jump, and aren't sharks.
*nods... "I took the bike for a ride at the Cambridge office and offer this review."
That's factually untrue. This is nothing more than a promo, there is one line that it took longer for a ten minute trip (but not how much longer) or why.
Where's the review? Where's the experience? Comparisons? Where's anything that gives any idea of what it's like other than how much it weighs? (Simply declaring it'll feel different because they are tweaking it doesn't count.)
Were this "review" on Amazon I'd answer, "no, this purported review was not helpful at all".
I've always wanted to stay on DST year round. I've never seen the point in getting up to go to work in the dark, and it getting dark before leaving the office. Why not go to work in the dark and have some time outside at the end of the day? Why have "high noon" occur way before noon? (Admittedly, if you live on the tail end of a timezone, it'll be closer to noon when the sun's highest.) OK, so there were some farming rationals back when we were an agricultural nation, or energy saving theories and stuff, but nowadays, let's just be practical.
So it's trying to be Google+ without the popularity? Oh, but pay for aspects of it directly?
This, you can't "cheat" on me since I give you permission. (Of course, that doesn't mean my trust can't be betrayed in other ways, or attempts to manipulate me, etc., but there's less emotional agita.)
Although some aren't capable of opening jars.
Cannibals obviously don't draw the line there. Of course from a disease prevention basis, it's frowned upon. I'd eat non-toxic aliens that were smarter than humans if tasty, affordable, nutritious and convenient to prepare. Other beings on this planet happily eat humans regardless of whether we're more intelligent or not. What does intelligence of food have to do with sustenance? I've never heard of such a debate.
With your bare hands?!?
