Except 1280x800 is actually better for watching 720p movies because they can be displayed at native resolution without any rescaling. You don't make use of 40 rows of pixels above and below, but that's fine with me. With 1366x768, sure you fill all the pixels, but there's rescaling going on, which can reduce the sharpness of the video.

What if my screen is turned off/not showing up or my mouse isn't plugged in and I want to reboot or turn off my computer. How do you do this with just your keyboard under Windows 7?

In Windows XP it was 3 keys in order: Windows key, u, r. Windows key, u, u would turn off computer.

I STILL haven't found a convenient keyboard only way of rebooting/shutdown through the start menu.

2 steps forward, one step backwards?

(I do run Windows 7 on 2/3 of my computers, XP on the other for backwards compatibility testing).

It's the other way. When you feed them corn, you can keep them in close quarters where filth and disease can spread easily.

When you feed them grass, by letting them graze on a pasture, you have to give them more room, which reduces the concentration of filth and disease.

Also having them more spread out and moving around makes it easier to detect ill cattle and treat them individually.

This is true. We won't have real 3D until they perfect holographic display devices. The difference between the perceived depth and the fact that the image is really at the depth of your TV screen (and needs to be focused at that distance to project a clear image on to your retina) throws your brain for loops. 3D movies skirt this issue because the screen is already so far away, but sit a reasonable distance in front of a TV and after 15 minutes your brain fighting two contrasting focal senses will start to cause problems.

Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous".
