If you double-click the gadget when installing it, it will snap to the the right-hand side of the screen, thus replicating the side-bar.
I don't have a running copy of Windows 7 in front of me right now but there is probably a way to make them stay on top etc etc.

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day, and pay the owner for permission to come to work, and when I get done, my manager would kill me and dance about on my grave singing Hallelujah.
And you try and tell the young coders today that and they won't believe you!!

Finnish Electric Solar Sail Nears Implementation 66
eldavojohn writes "A recent meeting held by the Finnish Meteorological Institute has resulted in plans to build an electric solar sail that will circle the Earth, gaining speed to test its acceleration. The purpose? 'A flight out of the solar system to measure the gas, dust, plasma and magnetic field in the undisturbed interstellar space would perhaps be the "flagship" thing to do,' said Pekka Janhunen, a researcher developing the sail at the FMI. The details and papers of this project (over two years in the making) are also available. I certainly hope it will show more success than the launch of the similar U.S.-Russian venture and its subsequent complete failure."

What methods or tools have others seen that work? Anything to avoid?
