Limited to 1080i? That's a 16x9 aspect ratio... I had a CRT that did 1600x1200 back in like 1995. Are you thinking of just TVs? Because most of them did suck. There were lots of excellent computer monitors however...

Let's stop trying to pick a side here... Maybe it's more of a symbiotic relationship. Google gets a useful news page, the news media get links to their articles. I honestly could care less about either of them. I think they should

To you, a small car is normal.

You just said a bunch of stuff that normal people don't care about. Those are Best Buy's customers. The store will be stocked with shitty laptops and low end hardware that anybody who works with computers wouldn't touch.

Good news is that nobody is forcing you to use the alt stores. You can stay in the Apple App Store all you want.

God forbid we use the data to do something good. But for marketing? Yeah no problem.

I really believe it's because deep down, people love the big shiny brand Google Chrome, yet they know it's kinda fucked. So when they see things like this, they are able to justify it in their minds that they made the right decisi

Maybe they used to be better. I love my Surface Pro 2. Paired up with Linux, it's a kick ass little machine.

They'll lock it down like an iPhone soon enough. The writing has been on the wall for years. Apple and Microsoft are frothing at the mouth to do this. But they have to do slowly boil the frog, because they know it's the only way p

THC interferes with the REM cycle. This is why when heavy smokers quit, they have crazy dreams for a few weeks. That's probably why you feel so groggy the next day when you take higher doses. You were asleep, but not getting good sleep

This happens to me with my prescription meds too. Always have to go back to the doctor and get a higher dose. Then the higher dose causes side effects, it sucks.

To be fair. Celerons were really terrible. I ran them for a long time (even was running dual celerons on a board at one point) and overclocked the crap out them. Then I switched to an actual Pentium 3 chip and it blew them away. Never went

Any car can be a race car, period. I used to do track days in my Honda Fit. And there are actual competitive classes for them. If you want to get on the track, bring what you've got. I've seen people bring minivans to track days b

Amateur Formula One? Is that really a thing? How do they class the cars? Every year the cars are different due to rule changes. Unless everybody has a used F1 car from the same year, it seems like the cars could be pretty unmatched.

They are okay with it at first because they don't realize they're going to wear out their cars. Then when the car is in the shop for a week, and they can't work, they're not only paying for expensive repairs, but also no

How are we supposed to have middlemen SAAS services making you subscribe to basic things if you can just do it yourself?

God forbid a novice user learns things and becomes a power user. Memory is so cheap, there's literally no reason these machines should not have 16gb.

I'm on a gen 1 dish. And sometimes my ping is under 20ms, usually it's around 40-60. This guys ping is terrible, and he has shitloads of obstructions.

Well if you find one that sells TVs with DisplayPorts, let us know.

My favorite part was how this politician-bribing, crooked, lobbying business owner is just looking out for his business. Can't blame him. Nope, no blame on these guys modifying the law for their own profit... No, it's all the Gove

I can't say why they are avoiding work, but it sounds to me like they are ashamed of letting their family see them slacking.

If the guy is in your house, and you're in a position to shoot him, you have not prevented the problem. The problem has already happened.

This is the question I heard constantly when I was working in IT. You know what it led to? Us using trash like Ivanti and Solarwinds.

Was that the old school AppleTalk network? I remember we had some Mac Plus's in the lab at my middle school. They were all decked out completely though. I think they even had external 1GB hard drives on them. Plus they used that ADB ne

Then it's always "... well including the health insurance and retirement package which we estimate costs us $75,000/yr." So actual take home wage is never near $110,000.

Disc brakes are still less prone to fading out. Drums hold in the heat during long downhill runs and don't cool as quickly during repeated braking events. They may generate less heat per stop, but they also don't dissipate it near

My grandma has a minivan. It's way better than a crossover for ease of getting into. The floor height is nice and low so she doesn't have to step way up into it. The roof height is high so she doesn't have to scrunch in. It&#

Seating height doesn't help you see over cars when everybody else is also in a crossover at the same height as you.
