Certainly most sports come out much better on a bigger screen particularly with the high resolutions we have available now. Hockey has become much more watchable now that we can see and follow the puck. And also how far away from the screen is your seating factors into the equation. If you watch movies the bigger screen gives you more of a theater experience. I would toss out there that having a good SOUND system with decent power and proper speakers including a subwoofer or two is also important for that. But you certainly have to have the right room and a fairly decent sized room. You can't put a 7 & 1/2 foot screen in a 8 foot wide room. Watching news being read on a larger screen IS a bit strange. But you get used to it. GK On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 5:03 PM, Arthur Fuller wrote: > Two or three years back, I scored at 39 inch TV for ~$250.

Given that it is not possible to run the "sudo" command remotely, because a password cannot be entered and then the command "dd", used to generate an image (ISO file), cannot be run. Below is a solution to the problem: Quote: The error you receive is due to the use of "sudo" command being used remotely (you would be asked for the password but you don't have a tty rights to enter it). On the other hand, as a normal user you can't normally use simply dd as suggested in another answer (you don't have the required permissions to the device). You can solve the problem by giving yourself rights to execute dd as sudo without a password. You can do this by editing the sudoers file (on the remote/Cloud instance!): Run the following command line: sudo visudo Then add the following line to the text document (Be sure to substitute your username for "userfoo"): userfoo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/dd if=/dev/sdX Then save and exit and you can now issue the following command line: ssh userfoo at host "sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/sdX" | dd of=test.dd ...and it should work. You could make a more generic entry in sudoers, allowing you to run dd with any parameter, but it is wiser to keep this "free-permission" to the minimum you need.

One thing that irritates me is the sorting method on my Phone/Contacts. The way I've entered names is First + Last, which defaults to the sorting method, which is asinine: I want the list sorted by Last + First. Is there any way to tell this ostensibly "smart" phone to do what I want? It would appear that smart phones are an instance of "Be careful what you ask for, lest you shall receive it." We wanted software so simple that it would not require a manual. As a result, I have mastered about 1% of what this smart phone can allegedly do. I am reduced to using it as a phone, to make and receive calls. Occasionally I check my emails on it, but essential commands such as "forward to", "reply to all" and others are, if they exist in this minimal UI, are not readily apparent. Fortunately, I have zero interest in playing games on my phone. I have one particular friend who is addicted to phone-gaming, and he is not alone in this addiction. I say "addiction" seriously; I am acquainted with this medical/psychological issue, and he displays all the symptoms. This is a problem not restricted to a few people scattered hither and yon, but rather a widespread problem with psychological and sociological issues attendant, to the point where Toronto's Center For Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) has added to its list of remedial programs a new program designed to wean patients from their smart-phone addictions.
