A really cool project someone did with spare LCDs. They made fake windows hooked up to computers.

You could simulate living under water, in an elven forest, on a boat or whatever with that.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

aye, talk about rich no lifers.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Actually, that is pretty cool. Especially if you're stuck in a city apartment with no view, or  you live in the urbany suburbs of NY with barely any view. Plus, I'd love to have a fake skyline of some city animated out of a 'window' somewhere. It would be cool.  Although, nothing beats the real thing...

I feel I should note that they're flat and will look absolute **** unless viewed from head-on.

Not terribly impressed...I think this sort of thing is great for displaying art that changes or displaying a live scene...but not really for trying to fool yourself into believing something is outside your wall that isn't.

For the deception, it doesn't look too good, for other purposes it sounds really nifty :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

ROFLAMO!

Honestly, the only thing that would actually notice are the nitpickers and webcrawlers, which is precisely why you don't want your email posted in unaltered form.

I'd rather just move to somewhere with a better view, to be perfectly honest.  Actually, I alray have a bloody great view out over a loch & golf course, so I don't even need to move.  Hurray!

(also - power bills!?)
