I use 2 ~20" monitors at work, and it works out pretty well. I have a large HP al in one at home, and I can't imagine using a second or especially a third monitor

Must be linen suits, too. I've never seen anything else get rumpled like that.

Did you think before you gave the title:)

I think if you are doing 3 monitors from what I hear the amd eye infinity is the way to go.


I guess I thought a little. For instance, "Triple penetration" seemed to over-the-top. ;)


And I just got back from a very very large meeting where they kept talking about Digital Penetration, Telephone Penetration, and (of course) Market Penetration.

So hard to keep a straight face that early in the morning.

I just don't know if it's even worth it. It looked cool in the store, but I don't actually know of anyone who has it, which makes me wonder if there are issues.

I've been wanting to pick up two more 53" HDTVs to do the same. :3

Would that be overkill? xD


I'm thinking, no not at all. :whistle:

Re: What's the story, if any, to your ship names?

October 07 2011
My ship name on either of my characters (Kaaleb or T'Laris) is the USS Nechayev. Named after Admiral Alynna Nechayev who was Captain Picard's boss. She also made an appearance on DS9. I loved her character and the actress (Natalyga Nogulich) is such a sweetheart! Met her a couple years ago at the first Stonewall meet up at the Las Vegas Trek convention. She called me "spunky" ;)

I wouldn't particularly miss it.

I used to really like it but then when I was with my ex he would insist on it being on virtually every evening when it was on Sky and after several years it got real old...

I can barely bring myself to watch it these days.

As much as I like the Simpsons, I think it's way over due. They really lost it a long time ago. The last time I saw an episode a a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was awfully a lot like other episodes.

Just wanted to repost you Jerran because you've absolutely hit the nail on the head.

When I named my VA ships, I had a feeling most folks would opt for meaningful and well thought out ship names. I therefore went for insipid pop culture references:


It's fun to think today's insipid pop culture reference may be the literary classics of the future. Maybe your other ship should be the U.S.S. Taylor Lautner. (Ooh, imagine the comments you'd get from strangers in-game.)

I suppose one answer would be because they can't wear normal T-shirts, and the V necks that would fit over their heads would have to be cut down to their navel. :p


I like your explanation better than any I could think up.

But now you have me wondering how they button up their shirts with those huge, long fingers. Maybe they have to get humans to dress them using their post-hypnotic powers. But now that people are out to kill them all, there's nobody to dress and undress them, so the next time we see them, can we expect their suits to be even wrinklier?

OK, maybe I think about this stuff too much. I'm going to bed.

The Simpsons facing the Axe after 24 years

Quote by Telegraph.co.uk


The animated series has been a fixture of the schedules since 1989 and is in its 23rd season, making it one of the biggest success stories in television history and a cash cow for Fox Television.

However, a contract dispute threatens to bring the show to an end.

Executives at the network have reportedly said that the show will close down in the spring unless cast members take a 45 per cent pay cut.

Dan Castellaneta voices Homer Simpson, the family patriarch, with Julia Kavner as Marge and Nancy Cartwright as Bart. The actors also lend their voices to other characters in the show and are paid handsomely – each earning an estimated $8 million per year. Their proposal for a 30 per cent cut in exchange for a percentage of the show's profits from global syndication and merchandising has been turned down by Fox.

A show insider told the Daily Beast website: "Fox is taking the position that unless they can cut the production costs really drastically, they'll pull the plug on new shows.

"The show has made billions in profits over the years and will continue to do so as far as the eye can see down the road. The actors are willing to take a pay cut of roughly a third, but that's not good enough for Fox."

On Tuesday, 20th Century Fox TV stated. "23 seasons in, The Simpsons is as creatively vibrant as ever and beloved by millions around the world. We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model.

"We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the voice cast that allows The Simpsons to go on entertaining audiences with original episodes for many years to come."

The Simpsons was devised by Matt Groening, who took just 15 minutes to sketch the characters and named them after members of his own family.

They made their debut in a series of short animated features in The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 and were granted their own series two years later.

Groening once said: "One of the great things about animation is that your characters don't have to age. Bart's had his 10th birthday on the show three times already."


I stopped watching it years ago, but this is pretty sad to hear.

Hey all,
I'm buying a new rig for ... well, really for Skyrim to be honest, but TOR too :)
Anyway, I was considering shelling out for the 3 monitor wraparound immersion thing.

Does anyone have that?
Like it?
Recommend it?

Would I be better off with one bigger better monitor?

Is it a drain on the Graphics Card to support 3, such that I will get better quality if I stick to one?

Thanks...
