I didnt check state of things for a while but Talisman and others seem not to use native win32 desktops either - they just hide windows/taskbar items. Under heavy load this becomes annoying as windows take some time to restore from minimized state. Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't look at alternative shells for about maybe 8 years now. Indeed moving window from one real win32 desktop to another is not possible, because desktop "owns" the window and there's no way to change parent. This is just a limitation of win32 desktop api.
Multiple desktops without annoying flicker. Never understood why multiple desktop managers on windows used window hiding instead of real multiple desktops which were built in into NT family from at least NT4. Oh well.. Maybe it's too late for me anyway to get used to multiple desktops because now I'm just using 2 lcd panels which provides real multiple desktops and I don't see the point in multiple virtual desktops anymore. Process monitor looks sweet though. Mark Russinovich is well known windows system hacker and I always liked his work. Nice to see that after acquisition of sysinternals by MS he still writes software.

*Old legacy dev's pessimistic evil smile* All right, young man, now please refer me to a book where they have a way to write tests to automatically correct my errors while I drink coffee! That'd be something. Return when you found one.
Several companies used "beta" to indicate that product is just not supported. For instance ICQ was beta for like 4-5 years? Don't remember exactly. So nothing new here actually.
I don't need no more diablo images in my head, if you insist, I'll just wear tinfoil and the cross. Now go away, let me ponder that female elf. Thank you, thank you, don't let your horns damage my door. Thank you, bye.
these ads were tipping point for me.. seeing how pathetic Gates was in them, I'm pretty sure now that no one at microsoft cares anymore.. neither about ads nor about developing operating systems..
Yeah.. This is nice anecdote playing on The Matrix (Hugo Weaving playing agent Smith), Lord of the Rings (Hugo Weaving playing Elrond, father of Arwen played by Liv Tyler) and who Liv Tyler's father is:)
They can make RTFA about mathematicians to sound like this is an article about some couturier. Well.. It's all geometry after all!.. AND applied to nude models;) so this "secret society" should be into something, eh
Jerry isn't aired for a while but most of the decision-makers these days were ones watching and loving the show, because this show was targeted at 30+ age group. Do your calculations. Actually it's very smart move for Microsoft although as a tag says: too late.
Nazis used all kinds of "science" to make their point, they didn't just declare other races as inferior, they used scientists to base their claims. See my point? In TFA science is used in sex battle, to compare two sexes, which is sexist by nature. More than that they compare races, implying that asian men are inferior to asian women and inferior to white men. Thank you, this is stupidest and not politically correct article I ever read in last 10 years, coming most likely from feminist "doctor".
Did you ever read the book? It's exactly what the book is about! Gerald is between 2 fires: people don't accept him as human, fear him, treat more like witch, blame witchers for completely stupid things. So Gerald is always on his own side: not monster, not human, still has attachments and obligations to protect humans. The game caught this atmosphere perfectly. This is very good game based on the book indeed. Very talented. Questionable game controls, but gameplay is almost perfect.
you must be kidding.. cvs is inferior compared to svn.. no deleting,renaming on rep level makes any cvs tree a fuckup in any real project... just don't do that... period
I always hear about vista problems.. What are they exactly? Never used vista myself though, thank you, I'll stick with my oem xp on laptop and pc and occasionally linux. But soon I'll be moving to core 2 duo and want to know if it's even worth to bother or it's fine?
Anyway.. what happened to the "kick their ass" approach, what really makes military the military. That real ancient war glory as we got from vikings with chewing their shields to the blood, their blood and the war hystery and going berserk? As a 100 level paladin I must say that these new super-devices are all moot. You have your sword or m16/m4, you should act like a soldier either to die and or to resurrect. Anyway, I think from the safety of my mom basement that we should drop all weapons and use lightswords to settle these oil issues all and forever. ok.. screw these modern weapons.. just use +10 shield and +10 sword

You should have IPv6 address and connectivity on them. China already is running out of IPv4 addresses for gods sake.

>> Are the reasons for using open source software different in other parts of the world as well?
In Soviet Russia open source software uses you.
I know, I know.. Mod me down now. Thank you.

Isn't this a bit sexist? Just don't care and respect women, that's what is needed. No need to show if someone is superior or not.

yeah.. mods on crack.. please do use svn and cvs in real projects before modding me troll, idiots
maybe you should have read svn book first, eh?
you must be kidding.. cvs is inferior compared to svn.. no deleting,renaming on rep level makes any cvs tree a fuckup in any real project... just don't do that... period
yeah.. lots of east europe women you mean?
all things come to an end, cowboy.. that's universal rule
In this case I'll have to either buy xp which is impossible as soon as I know, or get vista oem preinstalled or just pirate xp.. heh
I always hear about vista problems.. What are they exactly? Never used vista myself though, thank you, I'll stick with my oem xp on laptop and pc and occasionally linux. But soon I'll be moving to core 2 duo and want to know if it's even worth to bother or it's fine?
Image of Cowboy Neal wearing this and driving to the work in the traffic will haunt me forever from now
