The "liberal elite"... who is that? (Honest question; I hear people who tend toward socially conservative views calling out this mystery group without specifying exactly who they are.)
I've never had any issues with their streaming client; I have watched online, using my Roku device, and using my Wii device. All performed well. Perhaps the problem is on your end (network)?
If these speeds are averages over several days, and we are looking at 24 hours of data, then why in the world does the right side of the graph not mirror the left side of the graph? Surely the speeds don't suddenly change at midnight?
The problem is that they are VISIBLE. It's no problem to cache them - just don't clutter up the screen with (what the user assumes are) closed applications.
So the keyboard option works fine in Unity (alt-f2, etc).
The mouse-only option still fails. Being able to browse programs in an ordered menu-like structure fails. Being able to go through lists and find that randomly named program I just installed fails. Being able to go to a list of all Preference or Administration options fails.
Unity is half-baked and half-featured. I'm Ubuntu Classic after two very frustrating days of trying to use "the new shiny" stuff. I feel stupid for thinking it was me that had to find the value in Unity... shouldn't be that hard to find.
"It's possible there was fraud. But the fact that if Dems don't like an outcome, they immediately bring up this kind of bullshit is just fucking ridiculous." Your first sentence and second sentence contradict each other. If there is a possible fraud then it should be investigated, regardless of political party.
"Let's see, duh, a halfway handsome black guy..." Obviously you have not seen this guy. Handsome is not the first word that springs to mind.
Regardless, I would wager since he spent ZERO money on campaigning, had no rallies, and did not even go door-to-door that people just voted for him since they did not like the other choices (which they might have been familiar with). Or perhaps there was some sort of fraud or error in the electronic voting. That is why it must be investigated - not for the sake of Dems picking a competent nomination, but for making sure electronic voting machines are either removed or fixed before they screw up an important election.
Read his question again, in particular:
"I need something in the middle — a separate workspace for each screen, so that I can have independent virtual desktops on each screen, but still have the ability to move applications between monitors (no need to strech one app across both of them)."
He specifically states that he must be able to drag applications BETWEEN the x sessions. Is that possible with your proposals?
I really like the Visitors package (http://www.hping.org/visitors/). It does a really good job identifying multiple hits as a single visitor (if timestamp, user-agent, etc match). It also have some very good summaries of Google hits.
Actually, you should read more carefully:
"...that is a homonym for a word..."
"Wii" is a HOMONYM for a WORD that means all those things.
Wii == Homonym for wee
Wee == Synonym for diminutive, penis, or urine
"Hell, I agree with you. That doesn't change the fact that he seems (unless the news is reporting incorrectly) to have violated general standards of professionalism, and that has consequences."
Surely you aren't inferring that he deserved the beating he got, nor the need to resign from his department head position. Everyone has "off" days, or sends an e-mail or two that they regret later. Unless this sending of highly offensive e-mails is part of a larger pattern of his (and I highly doubt he would have gotten to where he is it it were), then I see no need to impose such harsh penalities for one infraction.
Here's the problem: NCLB is a program that takes away money from failing schools. The implication is that these schools must be failing because of incompetancy. *BZZZ*...wrong, in most cases these schools are failing because they are already underfunded, over-populated, they deal with children from difficult backgrounds, or all of the above. The last thing we should be doing is taking away support for these schools that so desperatly need it.
Lowest performing teachers should be removed, but punishing the entire school because of a few low performing teachers is ludicrous.
I agree it's hairy and heavy-weight, and that for most users it would be useless. But what about this: imagine a system where you choose which browser to render it in, and at what resolution. Web developers would LOVE this (an actual screenshot f their website in another environment, instantly).
What's wrong with having the man-in-the-middle (proxy server) simply rendering the page in the browser of choice and sending the image (ala VNC) back to the requesting client. You could use an imagemap to have the links still work. Wouldn't this get past all the incompatibilities of an old browser (I mean, what old browser doesn't support images + image maps?).
Have grown to really love 2.6.x kernels. Started back in the low single digits, just upgraded to 13. NO stability issues for me, ever (at least not due to the kernel). The important things to me in 2.6: udev and better response time (switching between windows, etc). Just recently got udev working just the way I like it - can't imagine going back to the old devfs.
Wow. Could you post a comment that is more useless? "Certain Programs"? "Games"? I don't think you could get more generic, dull, and uninformative.
Look, we all know there are programs (both applications and games) that run only on Windows. That's not any news. What would be MUCH more interesting is to hear exactly which applications you must use in a windows environment.

I would not recommend this to newbies. The first question they will ask is "Where is the menu of all my programs"?

Technically the diagonal (from the current) desktops are TWO desktops away - unless dragging to the corners is different than dragging to the sides?

The RIAA is shooting itself in the foot.
Is this really something that should be discouraged?
It is when they're the ones standing on our backs.

Am I missing something? All of the links are 403 forbidden?
