I suppose this depends on what you mean by a pixel. A monitor might have
1280x1024 pixels but the graphics card might be working to 640x512.
It's the graphics card pixels that CSS things are sized to, which you
can measure with KRuler, but not with a real ruler, or by counting
screen pixels while looking through a physical magnifiying glass.
Or am I missing another level of subtlety somewhere?
