  1. My wishlist for the taskbar on Windows 7 Taskbar Not So Similar To OS X Dock After All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For as long as I remember now, I've wanted a way to do the following with the Windows Taskbar:

    1. Reorganize the order of what windows I have open

    2. Send windows to background taskbars (desktops), so I could be using different sets of apps at once

    Hopefully they could add some minor usability features like this; I feel like I'm regularly working against the taskbar to get things done.

  2. Re:Thank Big Tel/Cable on Netflix May Already Be Killing Blockbuster? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's funny, I was just telling someone how I couldn't tell the difference in regular TV and Netflix's Watch Instantly (on a 42" set)...Granted I wasn't expecting it to be great quality, I am still impressed with the service.

    Apart from a limited selection (~5K titles), and the fact it only wants to run in IE (but has a simple full-screen interface), it is everything I would expect from the company's early approach at on demand streaming video.

    I guess YMMV, but they do include it at no additional cost. At least we are seeing some entry into this market; it's only going to get better over time.

  3. Re:this has been done for years!!! on Retina Blood Vessels Predict Common Fatal Diseases · · Score: 1

    IMO, that doesn't sound so bad...Certainly preferable to something like this:

    P says "I've got the runs"
    D says "Alright, drop your pants and bend over /*puts on latex gloves*/....

  4. Re:Mirror on Howto - Flying Snakes · · Score: 1

    The videos are ok, watching the people chase the snakes after flying is great. See the videos about half-way down the page.

  5. Re:EULA on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about America's Army http://www.americasarmy.com/ I haven't played for a while, but it stands up to other games at the $50 price range while being a free download, for the full version.
