Virtual Desktops for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the if-it-were-really-useful-apple-would-include-it-in-the-os dept.

TexTex writes "Riley Lynch has released Space.dock, which brings multiple desktops to Mac OS X. He's provided the code and binaries through SourceForce.net. It runs pretty well for being a 0.7 release and sure beats hiding all your applications and just opening the one you'd like." This is a cool little program. I usually question how much I really need virtual desktops, but I never fail to use them when I have them available.

    There are only 38 minutes until The Great Slashdot Blackout. During all of sunday, nobody should do anything more on Slashdot than load the front page. No submitting news, no commenting on posts, no voting on polls, nothing! Let's show Slashdot that they need to change! Regards, Guspaz.

  2. Eastern Standard Time or Atlantic? Or perhaps GMT! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    It's sunday for me now, as I'm in the AST zone.. but by UT/GMT is well into Sunday morning! Does that mean the T(H)GSB has begun for some but not for others? Hmmm...

    Crap! By posting this I'm breaking the blackout rules! Or am I...

    "Maccy-Dee" by ReluctantBadger
    (To be sung to "Let it be" by The Beatles)

    When I'm hungry and my stomach grumbles,
    Twenty nuggets are bought for me
    Three quid for a value meal, Maccy-Dee.

    And in every hour of hunger,
    Salty fries and Mac Flurry
    Breakfast, lunch and dinner, Maccy-Dee
    Maccy-Dee, Maccy-Dee
    I've got indegestion, Maccy-Dee

    And when you see that drive-thru sign,
    While driving along with me,
    Friendly staff and service, Maccy-Dee
    For though we may be shortly parted
    While you pop in to take a pee,
    There will be an answer, Maccy-Dee
    Maccy-Dee, Maccy-Dee, YEAH!
    Fast food is the answer, Maccy-Dee

    And after the pubs get rowdy
    The Golden Arches call to me
    McChicken meal heals my sorrow, Maccy-Dee
    I like to order far too much
    I've been accused of gluttony
    Two more chocolate milkshakes, Maccy-Dee
    Maccy-Dee, Maccy-Dee
    Breakfast, lunch and dinner, Maccy-Dee
    Maccy-Dee, Maccy-Dee
    I've got indegestion, Maccy-Dee

      Not to be a penis but you have written "maccy-dee" while it should be "mickey-dee". (Why can't people understand that there are two different prefixes.)

      Thank You
