What really surprises me is that in my office, most people have a docked laptop with an external monitor, and don't choose to run both displays as a dual monitor setup. It's like a free dual monitor setup for them, and they ignore it and stick to a single monitor!
Sounds about right from memory, although actually it was about 20,000 less than that. McAfee played a marketing fluff game by counting 20,000 viruses generated by a one simple generator as different viruses. Everyone else had to follow suit.
I have my taskbar on the right, and my browser tab bar on the left. And a regular-looking 4:3 kinda shape in the middle for reading stuff. I find it brilliant, but I always tend to have 20-30 windows and tabs open, for which horizontal bars are useless.
It's a genetic thing. To me (and my mother), Coriander does taste like soap, whatever I eat it with. I was particularly annoyed with one work kitchen that used to garnish pretty much every meal with it. Just leave the damn soap flakes off my food, thank you.
I do work on multiple projects requiring multiple windows at the same time. I don't find there's a lot of time hunting at all. It's very easy to identify the correct window from the task list and click on it.
If I really want to organise things, I order the task list so project windows are grouped together, but I rarely find that's an issue.
For example, right not I have 25 items on my task bar, including several dos boxes, several spreadsheets, a handful of vim sessions, etc. It's really not a problem for me to see which one I want instantly.
Like I said, it works for me. I'm not suggesting it will be the best for everyone. I'm just fed up with being told that virtual desktops are superior when I've tried them, and prefer not to use them.
I've tried all 4 ways - to me, single desktop on Windows is the easiest to use. Other combinations work for other people. I'm just sick of being told that virtual desktops are automatically superior and a reason to switch to Linux.
I've used single and virtual desktops on Windows and Linux. And, for me, I find it much easier to navigate using Windows with a single desktop. I have my taskbar down one side of the screen, and when I want to work on something, I click on the thing I want to work on and work on it. Simple.
If virtual desktops work for you, more power to you. But, really, don't assume that they are inherently superior and that the poor Windows users don't know what they are missing.
The other day I saw my first hydrogen-converted car (which looks more feasible than electric at the moment). I'm not sure if it was a hybrid or pure hydrogen though. The future is coming!
You may laugh, but we once set up a 4-floppy RAID 5 drive over 4 computers connected using NBD. The whole thing crashed horribly when we ejected one of the floppies.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, I used to do that. Then I got a bike trailer, and used that instead. Awesome system.

Does the Slashdots mess the grammarings over the interwebs?
I think this might be a US/British English thing, the grammar looks fine to me.

You might not, I'd much rather be using metric. I have no idea what adverts your referring to.
Dude, we use metric measurements in England :)
People actually go to the google home page? What's wrong with browser bar searching?
In English, coriander is used for both parts, but most normally for the leaves. Cilantro is never used.
No, they are the same thing.

But jaywalking isn't illegal!
You mention all the US/UK differences and then say jaywalking is a common enemy of society? Say what?

If you need to take your laptop on your honeymoon, you have bigger problems.

You need to carry your license with you when you drive? What country are you in?
You might want to check out Ayreon too.
You only require a license to watch live TV. If you have no TV set, and use iplayer in regular (non-live) mode, then I believe you are ok.

you are also free to use the radio stations, website, etc. without a license.
Not very much...
