Multiple Monitors Increase Productivity

eggoeater writes "An systematic study conducted by NEC-Mitsubishi, ATI Technologies and the University of Utah has concluded that the use of multiple monitors in the workplace increases productivity. The study is discussed on Tom's Hardware, EE Times, and there's a detailed press release on NEC-Mitsubishi. For those of us who use multi-monitors, this is not shocking. But maybe now that it's official, IT managers will view it as a good investment and not just for gamers."

    Sorry if this is off topic but the stupid spotted owls are dying despite huge restrictions on logging. From the time logging was crippled to today the population of spotted owls has decreased by 50%! So I say screw the owls lets manage our forests and do some necessary logging.

    Ah, yes. Copying files is indeed a worthy task.

    What I'd like would be a two-mouse setup. Now that would really be something else.

    Copying files in Windows is actually quite a chore compared to how easy it is to do in Unix. Not only that, but when something goes inexplicably wrong it is harder to figure out where they went wrong and start from where you left off than it is to start all over again in Windows.

    Part of this is the crappy i/o in Windows, part of this is the GUI interface, but my absolute nemesis is the bastard who thought it was a good idea for GUIs to destroy an entire folder if you copy one folder full of files to a location where there is another folder full of files that has the same name, rather than just copying the damn files like normal os's do.

    This used to be a problem with the Mac OS but at least in Mac OS X there is a decent command line that can fix this problem. The same canot be said for Windows, unfortunately. Windows and the old Mac OS were, I think, deliberately crippled in the copying department because to the old Apple and to Microsoft, copying == piracy. By contrast in UNIX bit-for-bit copying is trivial and there are a lot of tools to choose from depending on the level of copying you need. This is because to UNIX Vendors and to Linux hackers computer == something that holds my damn data.
