You've got to be trolling. Either that or you intended this comment to make people like me actually donate some money! :)

I wonder if MS was able to patent that functionality in the Explorer in W7. Of course it shouldn't be patentable, but with today's system, I doubt they'll have trouble doing it.

Wow, that is absolutely insane. You get major kudos for going to all that trouble to find out the answer to that one.

Absolutely. Given how much cruft we'd all heard was in there, it really is amazing how they've cleaned it up. Too bad there are two competing projects, but really LO looks like the winner so far.

I was one of the first adopters of the Lytro and the article hits on all the good and bad points I've found in my own usage. (I built a hackintosh VM just to play with my photos). What I really wanted was a camera that would work in any li

I have one customer that uses it to remotely access Bloomberg terminals because the Bloomberg software can detect if you're connecting via remote desktop and bar access to it. Of course, after this, I'll be transitioning them to VNC...

I thought Apple would never approve any type of simulator, virtual machine, or app creation platform for iOS itself, since it could be used to generate apps that might not conform with their guidelines. How did they get around this?

That's one criteria, but I've found I'm just more productive using E because it mostly gets out of your way. It also looks good and it's a lot faster, even on modern hardware, than GNOME 3 or KDE or Unity. It finally comes with a basic com

Did that already - it creates one big virtual desktop like in GNOME 2.x, but does NOT give me 2 workspace switchers (one for each monitor) so that I can change the workspace on one independently. That's what I'm after.

I like GNOME 3 a lot better than Unity, but until it can give me multiple independent virtual desktops on all my monitors, I'll be sticking with one of the few window managers that can: Enlightenment (0.17 from the Bodhi Linux repositories
