I'm looking to replace my current 10 year old 17" CRT with a new widescreen lcd monitor so I have a question for shackers with 22" widescreen monitors.
How far from you is your monitor located during normal usage and what is the minimum distance you can view the whole screen confortably?
I ask these questions because my current desk has a 17.5 inch wide recess in which my current monitor sits. If I were to purchase a 22" widescreen monitor it would not fit inside the monitor recess and would instead be located in front of the recess 17 inches from the end of the desk. While gaming my average viewing distance would be about 28 inches from the monitor and I don't know if that will be far enough to view the entire screen at once.

It's a Saitek Eclipse II with the new fangled back-lighting system. I just want it to be dark so I can see the keys......in the dark. :|
The keys themselves are kinda shiny, since this desk is right by a window so the light glares off the keys a shade but it's ok.
And this is the thickest/widest spacebar I've ever seen. o.o so now I can "Hardcore gameplay" it up! (That was on the box, one of they key selling points for me since I always wanted hardcore gameplay in my keyboard.)

Magnus: Absolutely, Stackless Python because it's a stateless environment is one of the keys of why EVE is actually capable of supporting all these users. And we have been working very closely with the Python community, we had a Python convention in Iceland that CCP actually orchestrated, and we've supported the PyCon conventions. We want to see more development on that end, and there's some interesting things happening there, so we will continue using that.

On a side note, where the hell is Twisted Metal Black 2? I really can't find any information on it.
It's fun parts were really fun, but it seemed like they had too much to say, a message. That made me angry.
overall score: 3.25/4 noses. worth a dvd rental on a hdtv. if you can find a bigger screen than the art house, it may get 3.3 noses.

53 minutes in to the show and the guy is still sooking like a baby because the EGM guys were critical of the build at E3.
He seems to be passing the oppourtunity to discuss it now and just will not drop it, like he wants an apology or something, keeps reffering to things as "FACTS" etc - he's a maxi-tard.

I work for a tech support company and I've been here for a little over 2 years. We consist of 8 techs, 3 programmer and 1 web developer and a tech manager. About a month ago the manager and webdev asked 3 of the techs in a meeting. They said that they wanted to move one of us into webdev but we will need to show them that we are the man for the job.
So fast forward a month. We have been doing a ton of research, sketches, mockups and all kind of work for one of our customer plus the tech support workload. So I'm thinking to myself, "Whats taking so long to move one of us over?" and I get a response similiar to this. Mind you, we are not getting compensation for the extra work. We are doing it in hopes that one of us will get promoted to webdev.
there is no time frame and we have no one in mind. Each one of you has skills that we can use. We may alter our original strategy, depending on how things go. So yeah short answer. We have no answer, we are just focusing on getting work done.
Are we getting dicked around? Sorry if it was too long.

For an unattended installation, it still popped up the date & time box for whatever reason. Was the only time it asked anything at all. The extra themes Royale & Royale Noir were not in the themes list automatically but at least were in the windows directory (had to click on the theme to install it). Since Virtual PC is a Soundblaster 16 & S3 virge world, there's no way for me to tell if the driver installation would work and if I'd get my application icons in the control panel & start menu. :/
I'm still pretty impressed on how well everything worked after integrating 70+ post SP2 hotfixes. Now how do I add Office 2007, 7-Zip, Filezilla, Firefox, iTunes, Trillian, FoxIT Reader, PowerDVD, TweatUI, and drivers for my HP Printer & Creative webcam. :)
