Maybe the graphics card was designed assuming you'd do all your main stuff on the main display and the secondary display would typically be a clone/low use, so its split 80/20 in favor of the primary monitor.  Just speculating.

The light is coming FROM the left.  The shadows are all on the right side.

the flag is parallel with the sun rays, so it doesnt cast much of a shadow.  notice how the wrinkles in the flag are very distinct

I can make something that will hide a .rar inside a .jpg, but I'm sure all of you could as well.  I had one at one point that had a really nice frontend, though.

It loaded in ten seconds. Comcast internet FTW.

Jesus, talk about pretty. Makes you feel small, doesn't it? I'd like to see us pinpointed.

FUN FACT! The coloration you see in this image was photo-shopped in by NASA to define certain points of the image that would  have been otherwise barely visible, so in reality this is a black and white area in space. The magnificent and vibrant colors you see are simply skilled photoshop.

Fun fact: it's a composite image, combining a visible-light image and an infrared one.  I'm guessing all the red is the infrared composite.  It's not so much skilled photoshop as it is just a simple frequency shift.

Make it zooming out starting at our sun would be cool.

This picture was taken by Hubble, which is orbiting earth.  If the sun was included in the photo, it would be the only thing you could see and take up most of the image. 

We don't have a probe out far enough to take a picture of us relative to everything else.
