Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention what ticked me off yesterday. The powers-that-be decided that everyone needed to set their brand-new flat screen 17" Dell monitors to 1024x768 resolution, instead of the 1280x1024 that is optimal.
No reason given, no logical explanation - just do it.
So my font and icons and programs all look fuzzy and like crap.
Why the he!! did they buy new awesome monitors for everyone in the sitnkin' department is we have to stare at poor resolution anyway??!!!
I have never had anyone tell me what resolution to set my monitor at...
I like that one too. You'd think PETA would have made a difference for me. lol
They force you to use a specific resolution???
That's just insane! That should totally be up to the user...and for LCDs, you're right - if you don't use the optimal resolution, things look like crap.
Ha! That soumds like the last place I worked before coming here!!! I couldn't figure out why things like my resolution (which *really* makes a difference in CADD) made a difference to them!
So.... Corin and RN sort of agreed about something? Whoa!
Haven't been to Willow Creek, but I've heard stories. Of course, I wouldn't be comfortable in any large church...
Incidentally Corin I saw the thread linked from that other thread. Are certain parties really trying to get you banned?
LOL... I have! And they wouldn't let us set our clocks either - even though they were WRONG! And they weren't set systematically. All were different - and wrong!
Go figure.
We should be a little careful about bringing all that here...
It's poison!
Actually that was in the news section... does it violate the Hobbit-Hole No Religion Wars rule?
RN has a history of stirring up things with the mods. Let's face it, the GRPL as a whole has a real history of stirring up things with the mods.
FWIW, the only warning I have ever received in the four years I've been on FR was the one to not use the term "Swarm" when referring to the GRPL. When the RM realized it was their own term, he withdrew that warning.
I'm a lightning rod of sorts because I can pinpoint their hypocrisy.
And they hate that.
But let's let it go.
Lembas anyone?
I think it's the thread crossing and talking about other posters rule, more than actual religion war content rule...
Have to be cautious is all....
;~D
How 'bout a cup of coffee, sis?
I know I know I know --- I said I would stop.
But, I teach one software program that *requires* that the screen resolution be set at at least 1280 X 1024. The IT guy set them all lower than that while working in my classroom. With lower settings you can't get the control panel for that software on the screen.
Today, one of my things was resetting all the resolutions.
OH, and IT guy has a note explaining why they *have* to be set that way and his boss has an email to the same effect.
It's really hard to work on some of the programs now because the fonts are virtually illegible. I've brought it to the attention of several manager-types and they shrug helplessly.
I'm tempted to just set mine back to what is was and see what happens.
Sure.... set it back. What are they going to do? - Say "Ummmm, yeah, your monitor is too clear, and it is supposed to be blurry.... I'm gonna have to ask you to turn it back"
Remember when one of our previous threads had to be closed down due to problems that thread crossing created?
Of what possible interest is the screen resolution from a policy standpoint? I don't see how it makes a bit of difference for monitor or user health.
