As an AOL employee, this news and other internal news really, REALLY makes me want to reconsider my options.

There's some hacking that has to go on at the OS level with OSX to have any monitor > 27 inches. The trouble lies in that the operating system wants to natively believe that you're actually using a TV, not a monitor.

To get it working you need to fool the OS into thinking that it's a monitor again: http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3027030

SHOMG LETS FHIGUR OUT THE SHOLUTHION 2 THA ALGORITHUMZ!!1!!

I'm available.

Send in the robots.

MapQuest.

Split a membership with a friend. Around $40 bucks split two ways.

It seems counterintuitive that a budget-stressed department would want to turn away potential revenue.

I suppose it's the defeatist attitude that bothers me.

Yes, most people will become nothing, because they were never anything to begin with. But why not embrace your potential and fight for greatness. Humility, important - just as is managing your expectations, but acting powerless is so disturbingly passive and disappointing.

You define your greatness, and you fulfill that destiny. Acting as a passive being in life is boring, and meaningless. Accepting mediocrity is just one more step towards insignificance. Grasp your purpose through greatness and find something more rewarding that "accepting you won't change the world."

The "greatest" people want to change something, want to make things different, want to leave a lasting contribution - having that desire should be universally human. Farmers and factory workers are the ones who "accept their insignificance in civilization."

This must some attempt at comforting one's inevitable mediocrity.

>Don't try to be great.

What the hell?

>Being great involves luck and other circumstances beyond your control.

Certainly that plays a roll...but to neglect your own agency in becoming "great" is idiotic.

I need to use Facebook to login to take their 'programming' test. I'm PISSED.

This is true everywhere. We sacrifice quality of life for old world living.

This looks SMART.

California tends to criminalize homelessness more than other states, due to this exact mindset.

I'd head for the mountains.

The "40 Hour Work Week" is, and always has been, a total sham.

It's a "factory production" mentality transplanted into the modern workplace - where our fruit is our creativity, not a number of units produced.

I've never felt so guilty skimming an article.

This neglects "The Price of Being Married" which is rarely an instance of frugality and prudent fiscal discipline.

I'm not implying that ALL members of a married home are frivolous with their money, but it sure seems that way sometimes.

How much money does having a wife or husband cost? I'm willing to bet it's a sh*t load more - not to spread words of discouragement or anything.

Clearly GMO advocates have never seen Jurassic Park.

I couldn't agree more. However, that isn't the case with the new 13.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. My new MBPr13 is fast, gorgeous, and light. Sure it's expensive, but you get what you pay for.

These things you speak of are tools, and yes in excess they can hinder more than help.

There's something to be said about staying connected, and giving your mind mental breaks now and again.

The key is moderation.
