Comment Re:Unnatural aspect ratio (Score 1) 330

In fact, I'm a bit surprised that Philips Ultra Wide monitors didn't catch on as they're even better for our eyes than the 16:9

What makes you say that? Why should wider than 16:9 necessarily be "better" for our eyes?

I thought that 16:9 was chosen as the widescreen standard (partially) because it was close to our "natural" viewing range.

the movies at the theatre are much wider and when you get it on a DVD or Blu-Ray/streaming etc

Movies are almost always released on DVD/Blu-ray at the same aspect ratio they were in at the cinema.

If a crafty person prints $20 bill on the printer, he is a criminal and a counterfeiter.

When central banks create money by simply changing the numbers in the computer, it is called quantitative easy.

Yes. That's how money works.

It's no less weird that we have rules like this than it is to agree that little bits of paper are worth anything at all in the first place.

Diamond is characterized by each carbon bonding with 4 other carbons. You can't get a thread out of it.

Not that this is a diamond - the paper doesn't use the word, apparently - but doesn't that depend how you define "thread"? I don't see anything in the summary about the size of these things, so what if they're 100 atoms thick? At what thickness could they no longer be diamond?
