35k la7 over bish HQ

you fail to see the point. While there ARE a select few that can run super absurdly wide resolutions, the great majority (and this has been proven by statistics -- but I admit I can't remember where) of Internet users use 800x600 for designing webpages AND viewing webpages. Saying that when you put your screen at 200 pixels wide I have 8 lines of sig is stupid. But saying that "in normal circumstances" he has 10 lines, that is valid. The "normal circumstances" part is the thing.

Never mind. I'm sending an e-mail to HTC. Not about Lazer or anybody, but with a general suggestion on the matter.

You seem to think this is one of those trolling threads that will be locked and closed. We have been having a civil discussion, good sir. We are in no danger of being locked.

What you have here ,good sir , is a comedy act.  A lame one, but very hilarious just the same.

800X600 WAS a standard, came out when SVGA was introduced and the old guys used 640X480, that was what, 1993-ish?

Since 1995 or so 1024X768 was becomming standard, it is the default setting for 17CRT which is also a standard (low-end) setup today. I was running 1600X1200 back in 1995 and would agree that I was a small minority then, but less of one now. The 1920X1200 I am using now is on a laptop for crying out loud. But with 19" CRTs and LCDs I would say 1280X1024 is about to pass 1024X768 as "the standard".

I think that most webpages use 1024X768 though, the ones using 800X600 are antiquated to say the least.

I'm glad everyone else is having as much fun as I am.

Gawd...we're reduced to arguing about stupid signature lines?  If I still drank, I would have one right now.

It is a stupid rule anyway because as has been demonstrated the number of lines varies with size of text and resolution.

Dumb rule, dumb discussion, my 2 cents.

Well....that was kind of a dumb thing to say.

Only a bunch of rubes could turn a post about a 40k La7 into a pissing contest / policing / argument about signatures.

Always cracks me up how threads get edited for (some, but not all) posting violations. Yet, no staff takes the time to address or even AKNOWLEDGE the topic of the thread.

you spend waaaaaay too much time on the web
