Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? 1140
An anonymous reader writes "Switching from 1600x1200 to wide 1680x1050 to HD 1600x900, we are losing more and more vertical space, thus it is becoming less and less simple to read a full A4 page or a web page or a function call. What's the solution for retaining the screen height we need to be productive?"
Simple really... (Score:5, Funny)
As you loosen the screen requirements to a less-stringent format, the vertical pixels flatten since the horizontal pixels cannot support the additional weight.

Maybe because you haven't tightened it enough?

Would that not put the second monitor looking down against your desk? |/_ ??
Is it more productive for coding because now you cannot surf Youtube or read Slashdot when you should be coding? That would increase my productivity too. :)

TFA uses "loosing" instead of "losing". For once, I think the complaint was about someone else's editor.

PHP3 prevented you to perform -any- operations in class member variable initialization. Not even string constants concatenation, so you could split lines to avoid run-on statements.
I once had to initialize a string with a very, very long (non-SQL) database request and couldn't even split that. I ended up with a single line over 2000 characters long, which ended with ";//sorry

Try scrolling your document to see the portions above or below the screen using the handy scroll bar to the right or left of your document. It's amazing! You only work with one page at a time anyway, get over not seeing all of it, or just print it out, gammit!
Also, why can't I have a screen view that flips 180 so I can watch movies upside-down? Fix that before we "fix" not being able to scroll, I mean, "view" your +5 Tall Document of Nonsense. Don't make me come down there! Get on my lawn and subscribe to my newsletter!
