Could you rescale that image? It's way too small for my display. Thx.

Didn't notice how big it was*! Sorry! :$

 

 

 

*Beehive auto resizes, innit. Somtimes. Like, it did before, but now it's not :$

The lack of computers in this picture disturbs me.

They've gone Jean Luc Picard, you don't expect them to still have desktop computers do you? it'll all be voice commands and holodecks on AirForce One these days.

I suppose that's what's going on. But I will need some training cause I'm used to a keyboard.

Why then have they all got old-fashioned telephones?
(Beige telephones too. Except the special guy.)

Why is that guy on the left looking so bored? He could have at least pretended to be happy for the photograph.

And... is Barack wearing a tracksuit?

Duh, you're not allowed to use mobiles on a plane.

 

And that's possibly some of leisure wear. He's probably just back from playing some b-ball down in the hold.

You are now. (On some of them.)
(Besides I meant more than not just being mobiles - they're damned ugly 70s style phones.)

And duh at you; if this is the Enterprise, why would he be playing in the hold when they have a holodeck?

Yes, I know, I was being SILLY for the sake of SILLINESS.

 

And he wasn't in the holodeck because you don't need a holodeck to shoot some hoops - most American 'utility' spaces have a hoop* and no self respecting black man ever travels without access to a basketball. Plus he was still waiting for it to be cleaned up after his last shot in it (yes, john)

 

*watching American films has taught me this.

Was that BH or IE that did that? I recall that some browsers autoresize.

IE zoomed out to fit the image on screen if you were viewing only the image.

Beehive shrinks the image to fit the discussion pane width (but again, I think it's zooming rather than resizing).

Android browser will do something similar - not letting images be wider than the screen (even if you zoom the page, which is irritating when you want to look at detail).

Yes, it is annoying when android does that. And also somewhat comical :D

 

Long-press view image FTW!

What you and Kos said about Android.

 

I've zoomed in plenty of times to try and see an image bigger, but all got was massive text and the same image :$
