Happy New Year, _Maxxx_,
I wonder if sitting near a curved monitor would have quite strange effects on your visual perception.
Remember that research which showed that people, in a few days, could adapt to wearing prismatic goggles that showed the world upside-down ? And, then those folks, when the goggles were off, had to re-train their vision.
Too bad we Homo Saps didn't evolve independent eye movement and focus as an add-on to stereoscopy !
cheers, Bill

I already have problems with my 27" (oh! err!) when I play FPS games (a rare occasion these days, I admit) I actually get slightly motion sick!
A continuous sweep of monitor could indeed be even worse!
But it looks sooooo coooool!

I remember seeing this on TV years ago (from memory some German chap had done the original work) - there have been a few repeats since.
One thing I have never heard explained is whether they end up seeing upside down, or just adapt to everything.
And I wonder if anyone ever tried it with only one eye...

I would think that few very video cards would actually recognize and support an unusual resolution like that.

And a Happy New Year to you. Last night a (really good Keralan) curry, a few beers, a glass of champagne and one single malt; my head is clear this morning.

How very dare you! I was up and out of the house for 7:30 and went to Mass at Notre Dame before returning in time for tea and meddles!

Congratulations, Mike!
Come to think of it, January 1, 2015 marks an anniversary of sorts for me - I quit smoking 24 years ago.

Congrats to you also.
When I quit drinking I also quit smoking and chasing fat girls.

I never started chasing fat girls.
I always felt there was too much risk I might catch 'em...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I found that if I kept properly medicated I couldn't run very fast so it made the odds better.

Happy new year to you too, Roger. Just two hours to go here till we can celebrate here.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

Happy New Year, Roger.
"least useful" ? Well, perhaps keep in mind what Milton said in the final line of his Sonnet on His Blindness:
"They also serve who only stand, and wait."

Least useful? I think not; it seems to me you mainly post when you have something interesting to say. So your entertaining of us is most useful, please keep it up. And of course, a Happy New Year to you and yours.

So this year ends, did you make good on your 2014 promises? I did mange to fulfill some, but alas I couldn't make good on the promise regarding posting a few articles on CP (I got them almost ready, so hopefully for January they'll be posted!).
Anyway, happy new year to everyone. How are you celebrating, how did you celebrate? In my town, we're celebrating with ash, since Don Goyo decided to explode[^] an hour ago, so the town's being covered with ash.
Anyhow, I'm cooking a mushroom ragú fettuccine and my wife's making a spinach salad for the dinner. My relatives will bring pork drown in pasilla chili and wine, but since I don't eat pork and I can't stand the chili (of any type), well, I'm sticking with my ragú and the salad.
P.S. A cousin of mine turned 16 years old in October, and I'm planning to get him drunk. So I'm also bringing a fruit-and-sugar-cane based beverage (called punch, but I guess its preparation differs from the American version), and I have smuggled a small bottle of transparent pulque, which I plan to slip into his beverage...

Here, we'd call that a felony, and you'd spend at least 10 years in prison. Just sayin' ...
