“1650×1050″ and two nostrils worth of snickering laughter is the answer you get from a geek when you ask what his (or her, or its) new years resolution is. I cannot abide the making of new years resolutions — both the real kind, and the version which is a stale joke about aspect ratios. If something is worth resolving to do, you should probably start doing it RIGHT NOW, not save it up for an arbitrary orientation of the earth with respect to the sun.
However, if I were the resolution makin’ type of man, this is what I would choose:
Yeah I know, blah blah, it’s a Western kid copying the Mongolians (or Inuits, Sardinians, etc..). Well I actually prefer it without the throatiness, so suck it, hippies.

Yeah, I was surprised about the Sardinians too…
