hey my monitor can totally do that vertical thing

does it auto adjust or do i have to fuck with settings

you have to set a custom resolution

The Dell one autoadjusts when you rotate it I think, but it needs to be plugged into a DVI connection or something. One of my colleagues had one for a while that would just switch when he rotates it.

well it sounds like you've got it all covered, but in all seriousness you can never have enough monitors

just think of what you could do with a little 6x8 display above the phone

winamp visualizations

I do have a Dell Mini-9 I could mount there.... Maybe it could display my SUN Java error reports

The Far Side

Mine is the HP w2207h actually

spono

now we're talking

does the hinge on that let it go all the way flat?

you could also use it for climate/lighting control

Requisition a projector to display the weekly weather report floor to ceiling on the wall behind you. Current weather reports would take up valuable real-estate on any of your other monitors.

I actually have a small travel projector I'm working on using as an electronic whiteboard with a wiimote and an ir-pen

Make it a little more challenging now.

I would but I have no vault boy.

The first shots I took, Vault Boy was better hidden, but as TFS points out, the iPhone camera is terrible and you basically couldn't make out the Vault Boy at all. I might do trickier ones with a better quality camera that picks up more detail this weekend.

The Far Side

you can make out the vault boy in both my pictures actually!

There's three of them sitting in a closet on the other side of the room.

They used to belong to people who had jobs. Now they sit unplugged.

Fandyien

I wish I had a job.

Oh, I know! It's just that hiding them any more deviously than that doesn't really seem to work on the iPhone.

I hear tell of jobs that provide equipment for their employees.

Also, while slightly more elusive, jobs that pay their employees enough to buy things.

Fandyien

Perhaps if I close shut the jaws of Oblivion once more the local movie theatre will hire me.

hrmmm. 4 hour drive to steal some computers from your office? breaking and entering wouldn't be that bad of a charge on my record

Futore

if i get this job at a nursery and apply for some scholarships, i might actually take some road trips

CrackedLens

Fandyien

They're experimenting with potting children

Ok, that last one is pretty easy.

Why on earth would you expose them to drugs so early on?

But this time it's not lentils!

I have no Vault Boy, because my Fallout 3 was a gift from a non-nerd. I shall have to craft my own out of rat droppings and hair.

My computer no longer starts if a mass storage device is plugged in during the start up sequence.

Not really an issue as I used to just be sure that no flash drives were plugged in and my iPod was disconnected.

However it now seems to believe that my printer is a mass storage device.


Guys, my computer has gone senile.

Szechuanosaurus

Or your printer has evolved

Meiz

yes

My mighty brain found those as well.

Sounds like your USB controller is on the fritz and it's bandwidth has declined. It happens.

With a little bit of luck a new computer is hopefully around the corner.

Old Reliable there has been a work horse for about 7 years now.

He should send them to me is what

Szechuanosaurus

I've had a thought.

If you don't have a bobble head but do have Fallout 3, I guess you could always hide your in-game bobble heads in the game world and post pics. Although don't just post pictures of the bobble heads' original locations or anything that would be spoilers or at least put them inside spoiler tags I guess because man, you know what babies people can be.

That a Planar GX2MP?

stale you playin' crackdown at work?

Szechuanosaurus

Apparently the Planar GX2MP is a medical display and therefore all the product shots of it feature a gigantic heart. Just in case anyone was thinking of GISing it.

Yeah, a diagnostic quality monitor... I have one sitting next to me also on its side- that's why I thought I'd ask.

Nope, vertical one is an older Samsung Syncmaster, next to a Dell Ultrasharp 24, next to a Dell Ultrasharp 22
