The more dead pixels the better. (none / 0) (#7)
by slhumph on Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 01:22:22 PM PDT

I love manufacturers who insist that lots of dead pixels are ok. I use their monitors to read all those pesky EULAs. Sometimes I can't even find the accept button and just have to guess at it's location. I am then able to completely ignore all of those ridiculous provisions found in most EULAs because, as Wikipedia's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract#Validity_of_contracts) contract article states: If the terms of the contract are uncertain or incomplete, the parties cannot have reached an agreement in the eyes of the law.
