This is out fault. No, I'm not joking. We must force changes to the laws that allow the rich to control the president and congress through legal bribes. In case you hadn't noticed, the state and federal governments are no longer controlled by the people. Either we work to fix this or we spend...

The computer/tech industry is not controlled by market forces and is unrelated to free enterprise. The Chinese are destroying all competitors with the aid of US government leaders. Leo knows this and that is why he tried to eliminate the hardware business. To avoid the inevitable. A service only...

I don't know what Michael Dell is really thinking, but if he actually believes that desktop computers will become dominant again, he's lost it. The desktop computer is just returning to normal, a tool for professionals. Desktop computers were dominant a couple of decades ago because good...

I agree that 4K is the next "standard" monitor for the [H] crowd, but it will take a couple of years for the tech and market to settle out. If I needed to buy today, I'd buy a pair of 2560x1440, 27inch monitors for <$800.

I don't game on my 20/30/20, it's for business only. After using it for a few months, I found that I only needed one of the 20's for palates and menus while I use the 30 for drawing or Photoshoping. That's how the other 20 was relegated to internet use. So I think you're right, a couple of...

Are you aware that you can rotate the Dell 2007FP display so that it is 1200x1600? That is how you get the match-up. I can tell you from experience with my 20/30/20 that 1200 across is already too narrow for some web sites. 900x1600 might not be very useful. I'm ready for 4Kx1.

Firefox+noscript+adblock plus. Just allow all from [H].

Well, DVI did it by going dual-link. I don't know about ARM chips. Too bad they didn't jump on high frame rates combined with deep color before they went to 4k. But the TV manufacturers needed something to sell into a saturated HDTV market so they panicked after 3D flopped and jumped on 4K...

In general, I agree with your skepticism. But in this case they are near the limits of low cost chip manufacturing. Look at the current speeds on Ethernet for example. Most motherboards come with 1 gigabit Ethernet. 40 gig adapters cost as much as a cheap PC and 100 gig is nonexistent.

NSA data isn't used to catch terrorists. It is used to control people. Ever notice how our representatives in congress often vote against their convictions. That's because the NSA has dirt on everyone and the current regime uses it to manipulate the system. The truth about the internet is in...

I decided to put off any more monitor or desktop computer purchases until the 4K monitors and HDMI 2.0 are available. My 2560x1600 monitor paid for itself several times over but I'm ready for higher resolution. If you do any engineering drawings or graphic design, waiting for 4K looks like a...

Downloaded the free book PDF from Sourceforge. Looks like just what I needed. Thanks!

Hurt these creeps where it hurts the most, in their wallets. In your browser use Noscript and block all google advertising scripts. Stop using google.com I use duckduckgo.com for search and mapquest.com for, you guessed it, maps. These turds at google show the same kind of arrogance we get...

Look like some great resources, Thanks.

I spent a few hours on the Mint forum and several others but most of the info is above my pay grade. I think what I need is a crash course on Linux 101.
