on a 1080p, 15 inches monitor you can see the fonts aliasing from a viewing distance of 76cm? superman, is that you?

on a 1080p, 15 inches monitor you can see aliasing in a line in a game, or an individual white pixel lit up on a black screen? captain obvious is that you?

yeah but that's only valid for a small increase on the resolution (for a constant sized monitor). If you tripled or quadrupled the resolution ( per axis ), I highly doubt he or anyone else would be able to read the cells contents without a ... microscope. So in the long term, the real estate depends on the physical size, not the resolution, oh and don't tell me that 'in the long term we are all dead'-thing :P

how would a higher resolution on the same frame help you with your problem? if your screen is still let's say 15 inches and you double the resolution, the excel cells would need to be drawn on twice the size (in pixels) for them to remain on a constant physical size (otherwise your excel cells would be too small to see), thus you'd still see the same number of cells on that double-resolution monitor.

universal DPI (like for example 300PPI - god i fucking hate inches, metric ftw) and build every display with that standard density?

Yeah I know depending on the viewing distance, a 200PPI display could be the same as a 300PPI device viewed from a shorter distance.

"what could possibly go wrong" post

or the "not invented here" post.

yeah geostationary orbit sounds like way far way, but maybe could be from satellites oribiting ~500km over the blue dot

with satellites, big doses of uncontained radioactive materials? Shouldn't such materials be "glowing" to sensitive sensors from the space or something ?

wouldn't an embedded in the cpu xeon phi version, lack the necessary GDDR4/5 which exists in the PCI-express card version with its 200-300GB/s of throughput, and be forced to just access the main computer RAM at about 40-50GB/s?

IF intel would allow nvidia to print its chips @ intel (and I say if, because they now are kind of competitors with the xeon phi and co. ).

expect a number of science supporters who will bite and answer (with examples such as climate modelling) the troll's flamebait in 3 .. 2 ... 1...

setting a goal for 2018 or 2019 ?

Such races are very good for the overall development and progress of computing, as the new technologies that will be developed will eventually be used in desktops and mobile computing.

There are still challenges like the interconnects and the power draw, but IMHO these are problems that eventually will be solved.

yes we already know he didn't blow up the king and the parliament :p

i pity the fool

thanks, you're absolutely right and btw I meant abandonware, not bloatware. Bloatware doesn't make sense in that sentence. Greek is my first language.

sorry, i meant to say "abandonware is known to reach..."
