.........that was part of the point.........

You could get an old laptop display, or even a tablet, be it Android or iProduct and beat this thing in every way. But you can't see a tablet well in the sunlight? I think it's obvious from this video you can't see that thing in the daylight either.

I'm not knocking the guys ability or talents, but he invented the light display AFTER the Jumbotron came out.

I'm a cyclist, I think things like Monkey lights are incredibly awesome, I think the new inner rim lights are great, but this isn't on point.

You sound like a standard-issue Apple user. Not the technical types, or people who happen to use Apple, but the kind who makes sure their phone case has a hole in it so the logo shows.

I support a bunch of creative types on Macs mostly for a living, as a sys-admin, IT-know it and do-it-all. This shits been going down several times a week for the past couple of months. Usually no more than fifteen minutes to an hour at a time, but it's really easy to miss most of the time. Unless you're actively setting up new systems or inviting new users to teams your shit just keeps working and you don't notice. To say the least it's made me look like a fool more than once.

Can't login? Well do the little password reset thing. What? It says your user and password aren't right? Let me verify I've got you setup right.

Uhmm, I can't login either. I'm sure it's the right password.

Hey, can you login over there?

-- I don't like being made to look like a fool. The fact these bozo's have been doing it a couple of times a week recently is annoying.

What's even worse is I'm a Linux guy. I prefer using the Gimp and other FOSS stuff over what I'm supporting anyways.

If I were doing this type of writing I would want a monitor that doesn't actually exist - I would actually want an e-ink monitor the size of a legal size sheet of paper, possibly an 11x17 "tabloid" size. I know they used to make "Paper White" CRT monitors in the mid to late 90's, but the last thing I would want is a CRT. Failing that I would do green on black monochrome with an LCD, I can't seem to get away from liking that, but I would consider a PixelQi. Lots of light coming out of the monitor draws you into the screen and out of your head, the wrong direction.

Someone should focus on making a monitor specifically for writing. Those "Paper white" CRT's are the last thing I can think of with writining in mind, and that was more for the publishing end of the spectrum.

Seriously, 1.x compiled against modern libraries for the most part so everything works, but 1.x 1.x was great, fast, light weight, great file browser, easy to customize, no bullshit indexers and what have you insisting upon running in the background, it was a nice setup. Everything since has just sort of bloated.

How's Moveon.org for Left and a petition for concerted?

Or attempts from the administration themselves to study.

What about an actual Democrat representative making legislative efforts to bring it the fuck back?

Bullshit claim countered.

This - all the way. I'm a Libertarian, I don't consider myself traditional left or right, but I do see just this. The right calls upon their people to boycott (and it rarely works, right wingers are notoriously bad about sticking to boycotts over time), the left legislates and bullies and freaking PAYS protesters to picket.

Or how the left keeps threatening/trying to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine" because they don't like the fact AM Radio is dominated by right wingers?

I have three Lava Lamps at home. I like them. I don't want to lose them.

Is there an alternate LED/Heater I can use to replace the bulbs?

The original XBOX used an off the shelf Celeron processor that we easily run circles around today, and an nVidia chip that was somewhat custom, but not so far out there we can't work around it, not to mention a customized version of Windows as a front end.

Last time I checked only the original Halo worked on anything else with emulation. The original XBOX should be among the easiest things to emulate all things considered.

I don't put much stock in X86 = guaranteed emulation at all.

Wish I had mod points, well said.

We should simply stop giving tax dollars to these companies enabling these huge differences due to inflation paired up with government contracts. Put actual supply and demand in place and the problem they're attempting to address goes away on its own.

Communism, Socialism, state run healthcare, nanny state programs in general, decreased personal freedoms except those having to do with sexuality - sounds very left to me.

Leftist enslave those who chose to work and blame them for the poverty those who don't work suffer and make sure their buddies have first shot at plundered money and property.

Rightist hold those who refuse to work responsible for their own poverty and ensure their buddies have first shot at everyonne else's plundered money.

I agree with you.

Left and right are mindsets - not political movements. Politicians have figured out how to harness the left and right mindsets to keep us arguing about time-wasting argument fodder to keep us from paying attention to the real problems.

I've given it a lot of thought.

Left wing mindset people drive progress, creativity, and our culture keeping us moving forward preventing cultural and stagnation.

Right wing mindset people harness the ideas often created by the left, make them work smoothly, effectively and keep the lefties from moving us forward over a cliff.

You need both left and right wing people to make the world work properly - as well as a few of us rare "mid minded" people that qualify as both and neither at the same time to patch together the differences.

Politicians have turned it into a cultural war where "both sides" are the same and "either" side winning gets us about the same results, and by keeping the war going and amplifying the differences between the "two sides" they keep those who are fighting from seeing there's really more than two ways to look at it and the very act of fighting this war ensures the wrong side wins.
