  7. what's everyone hiding? ;-) on How To Keep Microsoft's Nose Out of Your Personal Data In Windows 10 · · Score: -1, Troll

    i fully realize m$ is spying on me, as does apple, etc., but in all honesty, if i had anything to hide i wouldn't be on the net in the first place. i was told many years ago that using the net was equivalent to sending a postcard. so, if i have something 'confidential' to communicate to someone i will do so by other means than via the net. at the end of the day the average joe doesn't care (that is, even if he knows he's being spied on), and M$ et al can waste all their resources analyzing my net usage as much as they like cause i really don't care. as for all this talk of linux, etc., it would be all well and good if there were 'pro' applications i could use (eg. nle), but since there isn't, i can't.

    i really think this sort of 'cheap' multi-monitor solution is going to take off (certainly in my field of nle video editing). pity that we seem to be racing ahead of the facilities that would REALLY make this even more appealing to the general public..... btw. i bought a zotac nvidia gtx550ti multiview card.

  25. maximized view in spanned monitors on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    i have a new nvidia video card that allows me 3 monitors - however the first two are 'spanned' giving me a work area of 3840 x 1080 (which is perfect for my video editing), HOWEVER:

    when clicking the maximize symbol in the upper right hand corner the application window will spread across both monitors.

    is it possible, or is there any software, that will allow me to set the size of a maximized window?

    i also get all windows messages opening in the center of the two screens, very annoying and sometimes hard to read....

    thanks for your time,
