How wide is your window to DU?

[Ptah]

Poll question: How wide is your window to DU?

[kentauros]

1. I think just over 1280

but I let the window "float" and maximize Opera. I don't like the text spread out across 1920 pixels ;)

[Ptah]

2. I keep mine at about 800, and I am disappointed that I have to scroll to the side to vote.

:cry:

[kentauros]

3. Yeah, well, look how I seem to have killed this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8501241

[Ptah]

5. That size of image really discourages me.

What's the point?

[kentauros]

7. because the thread is all about whose machine is the "baddest"

And as that's the biggest, it wins :P

[Ptah]

9. First Prize in the "Image Too Big To See" catagory. The Envelop, please

[kentauros]

10. well, I did provide the wiki link

as that's where I got the image (just no hotlinked.) ;)

[Ptah]

12. You are correct, it is the fault of others.

[Jamastiene]

4. Same here.

It's a pain in the ass. I have to scroll just to read some posts.

[Ptah]

6. I feel less alone than just a minute ago.

Thank you

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

25. 800 x 600 all the way, baby!

:hi: :)

[kentauros]

8. I know I'm in an extreme minority around here, but I use Opera

and it has this cool button built into one of the toolbars: "Fit to Width" ;)

[Ptah]

11. What other toolbar buttons should we suscribe to?

If you are in an extreme minority, why are you here?

[kentauros]

13. because liberals supports the rights of the extreme minorities, too

even for those that hate firefox and/or IE :P

[Brother Buzz]

14. I turned my monitor on its side so now I've the tallest window

What do I win?

[kentauros]

15. At least you're no longer vertically challenged

[Brother Buzz]

18. That's good, huh?

Hell is a rainy day on the streets of San Francisco. I have nightmares of all those shinny pointy umbrella things glancing off my cheeks and forehead, drawing blood. Thank God for protective eye wear.

[kentauros]

20. Ok, Douglas Adams quote time:

"You are very tall."

:P

[Brother Buzz]

21. If I was so lucky to be very tall the blood letting would around....

my chest and back. I understand armpit wounds heal the slowest.

[kentauros]

22. But you can always help the short ladies in the grocery stores

by retrieving the items they need that are at the back of the top shelves without straining and feel good about yourself the rest of the day :D

[Brother Buzz]

24. Been doing that for years

One of those short ladies helped me out by giving me her shopping because I lost mine. Our family hardly noticed but I some explaining why I purchased an egg full of stockings. I reasoned what is good enough for Broadway Joe Namath, was good enough for me.

[kentauros]

28. lol! That's funny

:D

I don't think I'm your height, but 6'-1 is enough to get asked for top items from time to time, too :)

[Ptah]

16. you win the Over My Head Contrail award

[Brother Buzz]

19. Ooooo, that's really up there.

[MrPerson]

17. Does my computer make my butt look too big?

[Initech]

23. I'm posting on my iPhone right now so not very big.

My regular laptop is 1280 x 1024.

[NYC_SKP]

27. I just checked on the iPhone and you can see all the lines, left to right.

Of course I can't read any of the tiny wurdz.

[Initech]

33. Yeah even zoomed in I have to squint at the screen to see it.

Which is why I dont post from it very often.

[NYC_SKP]

34. A cool iPhone feature I just discovered today:

And you may already know it.

I was doing a Google directions on my desktop and used the Send feature to email it to myself to check when I got to the city.

Opened the email on the iPhone and clicked on the link and it opened, not in the browser, but in the Google Map app, with the route shown!

And I love the blue pulsing "you are here" icon on the new 3G.

It's all more accurate than the navigation in my car, and it has live traffic.

[Initech]

35. That is pretty sweet.

I just got the Apple "Remote" app that will allow you to use your iPhone as a remote control for your iTunes playlist as long as its connected to a WiFi network.

[NYC_SKP]

36. Whoa oh! Gotta check that out. I haven't downloaded any apps yet.

I gotta check a few out.

I also like having Street View in the Google map, and use the search function a LOT, cuz I travel often and if I need a Kinko's or something it finds it quickly and has a clickable phone number right on the damn screen.

It's the shit!

[pokerfan]

26. Where's the 2560 option?

[Ptah]

29. mmm, ok

[kentauros]

30. Will a Gigapxl Project image fit on such a screen?

http://www.gigapxl.org/gallery.htm

:D

[pokerfan]

32. not even close

2560x1600 is barely four million pixels. WQXGA is so inadequate.

[ghostsofgiants]

31. I'm on my netbook so it's only 1024.

On my desktop it would be 1680.
