They have something like it on Linux, I think it is missing in Windows because the WM is so primitive, at least on older versions, so it would have been a lot harder to implement. It isn't quite as elegant as Mac floaters in some respects, but it is the same sort of idea.
It doesn't work if you have another means of switching focus (like alt-tab) because if you bump the mouse then you end up focused on the last window you focused with the mouse
It works if Alt-Tab also moves the mouse pointer to point at the focused window. I did that 12 years ago in FLWM and I find it hard to believe nobody else tried it. It is true that the leading window managers seem not to have figured this out.
Metacity has a nice way of handling it, IMO. If you have focus-follows-mouse enabled, focus only changes when the mouse crosses a window border, so if you Alt-Tab, then the ouse will stay still, but it won't re-select the window that had focus until you move the mouse far enough.
Tabbed browsing is fine for just reading, but once you start needing ot refer to different pages at once, having a WM which can handle lots of windows is much more helpful.It's all a question of using the right tool for the job, really.
And don't even get me started on having the desktop switch on cursor hitting the edge of screen.
Have you tried using compiz with the cube plug-in? That makes it harder to accidentally switch workspaces, whilst still being almost as fast to do when you want to.
GNOME with Metacity isn't very good for the GIMP, but expose and being able to drag windows from one workspace to another in Compiz make the GIMP a lot easier to use. Unfortunately, the best way I've found to deal with not having the toolboxes on the right workspace is to make them show on all workspaces, which isn't a very good solution.
GIMP for windows has had a single-window mode for a while, which just creates a window which has all the normal GIMP windows inside it, which is a lot uglier than the new single-window mode, but is a reasonable quick-fix for the deficiencies of the Windows WM.
Unfortunately, that last 10% is similarly divided. That's why one just ships it, and fixes it whenever. (Well, that's what certain big vendors do, anyway:( ).
They exist. Look in the hard sciences, EE, maths and CS departments of a university, eliminate those doing teaching, and you'll find a fair few "geeky girls" without having to look too hard. Finding *single* geeky girls might be harder though.
Of my local ISPs, I can think of one which offers free access to google code, but they almost all mirror sourceforge for their customers. Free, fast, access is pretty appealing to project founders.
They hand them over to the police, as the law (which AFACT lobbied for) allows. Since the account holder very likely was not the person responsible for the infringement, that wouldn't be much help to the media cartel anyway, and privacy law may prohibit the ISPs giving out the information.
inputenc and a GTK-based editor (or a terminal editor in gnome terminal) really help here, since they mean you can easily use unicode for maths symbols, which can be faster than typing the symbol commands: for example C-U 2234 is a lot faster than \therefore. It can also make your source a lot easier to read in a hurry, which is good if the prof tends to make a lot of edits to his maths.
I'm not certain that it was, since I have seen it used in a pre-war English children's story (one of the/William/ series, IIRC). It may well have been referring to Indian Indians, and just have fallen out of use in most of the world.
There is sexual discrimination, but some of it is indirect. For example, a woman who takes maternity leave will lose that many months of seniority and experience when she comes back relative to those who worked through that time, and will lose even more if she comes back part time. Now, you could argue that men should take time off to raise their children, but that is a question for the families, and for the biologists and psychologists, and you can't blame a business for promoting the person with more experience.
Then there is the question of career choices. For example, where I am, university entrance is based on high school results (this is over-simplifying, but the subjects where this isn't true are >50% female anyway), and girls have been getting higher scores than boys for the last 10 years at least, so there is nothing stopping girls choosing made-dominated fields if they want to. Nonetheless, the physics department at my university was doing well with about 1/4 female students, with about the same in chem, slightly fewer in Mech eng, and chem eng, even fewer in EE and still fewer in CS (about 1/10 of lecture attendees, even less of enrolled students). The female-dominated faculties were primarily humanities, soft and social sciences, and nursing, with approximately equal numbers in law, finance, and business courses. The same appeared to be true at the lesser universities, although less noticeably. This means that girls are choosing poorly-paid career paths at the end of high school. Now, I'm unlikely ever to become wealthy without a major career shift, but my school did at least include that sort of information in their career guidance, for all pupils, and I assume others did so as well.
In short, yes women do tend to earn less than men, and, yes, ou can argue that that's wrong, but it isn't really anyone's fault.
Doesn't help, since you still end up with a politician.
I think the federal coalition would be too divided by Liberal infighting than to do too much harm, although that's hardly much of a recommendation. TBH, I can't imagine Abbot winning an election, but I can't think of anyone who would do better.
That one isn't over yet. Firstly, the flute riff wasn't in the original score, it was added during recording, so any arrangement without that line is not infringing. Secondly, there is supposedly an old welsh folksong (in the public domain) about a blackbird which is equally similar to the riff, which might reduce the damages even if it isn't enough to get the decision overturned (because the Men at Work didn't know about that song). However, they might be able to show that there is no copyright on that part of the tune (because it was already in the PD), only the independent arrangements in the two songs.
I didn't think he specified "willing". For that matter, he didn't specify human, so he could try to persuade his mother./me hunts for the brain bleach.

The world is quite different ever since the robotic uprising...
There is no more unethical treatment of the elephants.
Well, there's no more elephants, so...
Ah, but still, it's good.
Given where Burlosconi's money comes from, that isn't likely to help.
Indeed. The "best" that he can hope for is to find a bug in the implementation or interface, but I don't think it is likely that he'll find one.
Indeed, some people don't like them, but there's much less resistance when you tell them in parallel.
I had heard that there was a patent on something to do with CMYK handling which made the maintainers wary of including support, BICBW.

oh, damn, /. ate my HTML. The "whe" in whenever was supposed to be inside a del tag

But those are both already available all over the world, so preventing yet another implementation of them being exported wouldn't achieve anything.

Nor were Mary I or Mary II, or Boadicea.
That's nobody's fault, not even the Romans'.
