    Wow and here I was hopeful that Wayland would actually make this kind of thing easier. I'm a big fan of synergy and all it's descendant. Apple just released a similar feature for iOS and OSX. Really surprised this is getting mor

    You don't have to look much farther than the Facebook page a small town sheriff's department. In the rural midwest-usa county where I live, the sheriff posts mugshots on Facebook and then people just pile on with all kinds of comm
