Because without mentioning CRTs its hard to explain why things are the way they are right now.

Also, CRTs do still exist and have their place.

I've been expecting this ever since we brought out DVI-D and then HDMI and Display Port. I'm in fact a little shocked its taken this long. Its really a simple concept; when the frame buffer is ready to be drawn, tell the monitor to refresh with that data, then work on the next frame. In fact, that's exactly how people think video output works already in most cases, but its not.

Exactly one for the end that goes into a power source.

Sure, make it an open standard and let us all take advantage of it. Otherwise, its just a proprietary plug.

Because then everyone who buys those lamps and realizes *after* that they need a special bulb complains really loud that they need more places to buy bulbs from and the market gets flooded with normal and special bulbs when the stupid iLamp should've just come with a normal socket for normal bulbs.

Please give a real life example of a device that's incompatible with USB but has a USB plug, because this really shouldn't be the case.

USB really is a standard, and really does work universally.

The end you plug into a computer or power supply is always USB-A however, that's part of the point. The end that plugs into a modern phone is nearly always micro-USB.

Why don't we all have multiple types of power outlets, and different types of gas fittings, and various different road paint colours, and maybe some differently laid out keyboards while you're at it?

Well, we do, on a global scale, but on a local scale we've realized what a complete disaster it is not to standardize things that everyone uses every day. Standards are good for everyone.

Lets send Congress while we're at it.

Psst you made your own bullshit absolute statement.

The cop's opinion of your guilt is not relevant in court, so I have no need to change their mind.

Why does everyone assume that people driving fast at night will hit someone at all?

BIND suffers from the delusions of those who wrote it.

No matter how you feel about the programmers involved though, spend ten minutes configuring and using tinydns and then BIND and ask yourself why anyone uses BIND.

Your tagline has it wrong, you just are a troll. Your post contains no usable argument points whatsoever.

One's income has no bearing on the good one does.

Feeling a sense of connection and responsibility for your fellow humans is a very good thing, and those who don't feel it are called psychopaths for a reason.
