No human typed that. There's nothing to gain by adding a rounding operation. There's nothing truly _wrong_ with that line of code.\n\nBut I can't help but think about the comedic value in controlling your page layout down to sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-pixel precision. This code will continue to have pixel accuracy out to screens with quadrillions of pixels, making it incredibly future proof.\n\nIt's made extra funny by calling the video player `VHS` and suggesting the appropriate ratio is 560 pixels by 320- which is not _quite_ 16:9, but is a frequent letterbox ratio on DVD prints of movies.\n\nIn any case, I eagerly await an 2O-zetta-pixel displays, so I car read the news in its intended glory.\n\n[Advertisement] Utilize BuildMaster to release your software with confidence, at the pace your business demands.
