    try alt+ `

    it will tab through the windows of a single app

  2. Re:Not sure which is worse... on Class-Action Suit Filed Against Apple · · Score: 1

    The problem with your idea for a 3 strikes law, is that it is already the judge's responsibility to throw out stupid suits, if the judge doesn't than really it is the judge's fault.

  3. Re:[OT]: Re:Skype Banned on An Analysis of the Skype Protocol · · Score: 1

    A univerity's other core business is performing research in various fields of knowledge, many of this research requires internet/network connections.

    go to oclc http://www.oclc.org/ (they have all the library class classification you need)

    they sell their data. This is where librarians actually get the data we use for public access catalogs

  7. Re:Decimation?!?! on Do Honeybees Defy Dinosaur Extinction Theories? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    guess what: languages evolve and the exact meaning of words can change.

  8. Re:English living in Russia on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 1

    how do the stores which sell legit music stay open? who pays these prices? I'm really curious

  9. Re:Honestly. on RNC and Voter Suppression · · Score: 1

    I am a pittsburgh resident. Unexpectedly, i have had to temporarily live in new york, i did not expect to still be in new york now, and therefore i did not apply for an absentee ballot. (i still pay PA taxes and maintain a primary residence in PA), however, i have to fly back to pittsburgh in order to vote. I would've been much easier for me to simply drive to philadelphia (from new york) and vote.

  10. Re:How is this "voter intimidation"? on DNC and Voter Suppression · · Score: 1

    the real problem is that a significant minority of these felons were mislabeled as such. They had been convicted of no crime, and therefore should have had the same right to vote as any one else. A partisan company was hired by the governor to 'clean' the voter rolls (something that, admitedly, must be done every so often), but this company incorrectly labeled many people as inelligable to vote.

  11. Re:Slightly OT: Just a few years too late.. on Sony Japan to Abolish Copy Controlled CDs · · Score: 1

    It is called interlibrary loan. A library will get you what ever you want. all you have to do is ask.

  12. Re:Avoid proprietary codecs, use Blu-ray on Microsoft Longhorn To Support HD DVD Format · · Score: 1

    Let me second that. A caddy would be wonderful. I mean does anyone complain about the plastic shell around a 3 1/2 inch floppy? No, because it protects the media and is unobtrusive. If every disc comes in its own (hopefully replaceable) caddy, it would be wonderful

  13. Re:Lordy Lord on Vaccinated Against Vices? · · Score: 1

    That's not the reason for jewish 'forced genital mutliation' (as you put it). There isn't even a clear concept of sin in modern judaism.

  14. Re:On a related insanity tack (of the sail boat).. on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm mistaken, checks and balances insists that the Supreme court (through Judical Review --a statute established in Marbury versus Madison) is the the1 ultimate arbiter of the constitutionality of U.S. law; therefore, it should be impossible for a law which removes the Supreme Court's jurisdiction to not be able to be overturned by the Supreme Court for that very reason alone. Unless, of course, the Constitution is changed.

    Anyone have anything else to add?

  16. This sounds like they are getting ready on Apple Releases Rendezvous for Linux, Java, Windows · · Score: 5, Interesting

    to release more home electronics type products. After all why would they need Rendevous on non-mac platformsm, unless they were planning on selling a networking device that hooks up to the home network? (like, say, a digital video device or some other home theatre component)

  17. Re:pr0n jokes aside... on Panasonic's Blu-ray Recorder To Hit Market In July · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Why should the rich pay taxes? on Video-Game Publishers Outsource Development · · Score: 1

    What is in it for Bill Gates is social stability. If a large portion of society has nothing to loose, they have everything to gain by disrupting the status-quo. Think for a minute about what a dollar is: it is a promise by the government that this piece of paper is worthing *something* (it isn't even backed up by anything with intrinsic value), without society Bill gates has nothing
