    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    I don't really know anything about that calibration device. Luminance is an important part of calibration if you do things like photography and such.

    Facebook Entry Gets Office Worker Fired

    FTA: "Stephen Ivell, the owner, thinks the company acted properly. He told the Telegraph: "It is just a shame that it did not work out because she is a lovely girl." She was a lovely girl who was bored... Why the fuck did you fire her then?? Why not say to her "hey, if you're so bored...

    Computers Now Control NY Trains

    Ummmm, I know it's nowhere near as complex... But we've had an automated rapid transit system in Vancouver for over 20 years now. I don't think there's EVER been an accident on it. Actually... It's the world's largest automated rapid transit system, if I'm not mistaken.

    Until I see video of it in action, I will not get myself excited about it. Though, it would be cool to have an iphone with a large screen that reduces into a stick that you put into your pocket... like the things they used in Earth: Final Conflict.... or was it Tekwar?

    Dell Phasing Out XPS Gaming Systems

    I own an XPS laptop... just got it recently. I don't think the XPS ate into alienware much, because if the XPS didn't exist I still wouldn't have bought an alienware. It's just WAY too expensive to buy that stuff. Overpriced, silly looking, etc etc. my XPS 1530 is sleek. i like it.
