Scott Walker and Sunn O))) to collaborate

Had to move the 1920x1200 to the work laptop, so I pulled out the LG 2560x1080 for the personal laptop -- this thing is nice! It's the little little brother of the "I'm done with 4K" ultrawide monitor (the regular little brother is the 34UM65, which is 2560x1080 @ 34", whereas mine is 2560x1080 @ 29"), the pixel pitch must be pretty damn high. I'll definitely be lusting after the 34UM65 for a while. ...with a caveat -- laptops usually only have one of certain ports (HDMI, DisplayPort), so maybe for a laptop "extension" screen -- one big one. Unless one very carefully selects one with a very capable docking station.

I was never very involved in the DIY segment, but I remember the names of the amps you mentioned, and how popular they were. And I certainly take your and Nate's words for it. Sorry for the threadcrap. Regarding memory -- dude, I'm lucky if I can remember what day of the week it is any more, much less my own name.

I have a Cheerwine.

Honestly, I just don't want to contribute to Intel's virtual monopoly.

I disagree -- yeah, sure, if the program knows how to benefit from multiple cores it can do something, but there's something to be said for sheer speed in a couple things I do.

I don't know, AMD has put out some 8 core CPUs that go > 4GHz, I really want to put a build together around one of those.

What it is?

Knights of Sidonia -- hermaphrodites (?word? ...humanoid bipeds with hermaphroditic qualities) that photosynthesize, and the boy who loves them, and the tentacled space alien that attacks them...(shudders)...

He uses JH13ses, anyways.

Yeezh. Glad everything is okay, now, sorry he/you had to go through that (he-that/you-worry).

Food truck Bulgogi and Kimshi == best food truck food I've had since I started working here. "Chitti Chitti Grill"

So true. (Not from my own experience, but from listening to stories my friends tell, and from what I've observed myself even at concerts.)

Weird Al has been dropping a different video every day this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsWo8apgLys

Lactaid?

von Karajan's 1963 Beethoven Symphony cycle on CDs and Blu-Ray (6 hours @24/96, I think) next week

As long as it's a non-buzzing refurb, it's still an improvement. But I am one of those people that once I notice a buzz (or a transformer buzz), it'll aggravate me.

My Dell never buzzed -- if it's still in warranty, complain. They don't fix it, they just replace it. And if you want to "upgrade", they might even be amenable towards putting the cost of the one you have towards the next one.

Want.

I have to admit, I haven't seen that adjustment in the setup menu of any modern monitor -- only on the old CRTs and perhaps a more recent television, but I wouldn't even swear to that. ^ That fix makes more sense to me.

That's adjustable on some monitors. I think it's called skew or something. (Not RGB skew, though.)

Yeah, the Auria was about the price of that Asus PB278Q, without an adjustable stand, so much better deal. The screen's fine, but the stand is cheap one-piece plastic, and I don't think it came with any of the cables other than the VGA ("really?"). PS I have mine connected to my laptop here at work, so I'm sitting in front of the laptop keyboard, but looking at the monitor. You just inspired me (so as not to get neck pain) to move it to a box behind the laptop so that both screens are in front of me, one above the other, rather than have my head turned to one side all the time. So thanks for that. That said, it sounds like you are the target market for one big one. EDIT: Camelcamelcamel says it's been as low as $390, but more like $470 or $480. (Same product, different Amazon page, therefore different camelcamelcamel tracking page.)
