Beautiful thing about Android 4.0. You hit the... well on my Nexus One it's a long-press on the Home button and it brings up all the running apps. You just bring up all the running apps and switch back to the browser.

So you have a consistent way to switch between any and all apps running on your phone. Oh, and if you don't want to leave an app on that list, you just flick it the hell off the screen.

I actually downgraded my Nexus One to an earlier version (because there are no official or complete or non-buggy ICS releases for it yet) and man do I miss that.

Um, I've been using Window Maker on multiple displays for the better part of a decade. I've been using it with three monitors for at least three years. It works ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY. In fact, one of the main reasons I've never switched to Gnome or KDE is they mess up my multiple monitor setup HORRIBLY.

But I have a very heavily customised xorg.conf that I've also been maintaining since it used to be called x11.conf, and Window Maker just lets xorg run the show.

Window Maker has some nice features that /I/ like. I like the dock and dockapps. I like the easily configured menus (that can be generated on-the-fly from a perl script). I like that it doesn't try and reinterpret the way I set up my X server. I like how configurable it is. I really like the look and feel (minimal window decorations, keyboard shortcuts, etc).

For me the biggest thing is that I've been using it forever so it's pretty much second nature. In fact it's pretty much first nature. And it sounds like you have that with openbox, so my answer to you is "you probably shouldn't!"

For what it's worth, I've been using WindowMaker since the mid-1990s. I hate the paperclip too. That's why I disabled it in 1997, and any application that doesn't go in the dock has it's app icon disabled. Piece of cake. I've never thought configuring Window Maker was complicated, and it's had a GUI config utility for ages.

Over the years I've tried several times to switch to a more, uh, current desktop environment, like Gnome or KDE. I found both to be uncomfortable... and here's the thing. I have three monitors. Window Maker doesn't care about that and doesn't try to micromanage the displays in some weird ways that ignore what my heavily hacked xorg.conf tells it to do. Gnome just goes NUTS.

For example, I currently have the Window Maker Dock on the rightmost monitor. I can move windows between monitors, but when I maximise a window, it only maximises to the screen it's on. Same goes for telling, say, a youtube video or mplayer to go full-screen (in fact, mplayer automatically fullscreens to the big monitor all the way on the left).

This setup with Gnome makes the menubar repeat three times, makes windows maximise wherever the hell they feel like, makes the "taskbar" grab windows from wherever, etc.

Now possibly BusyBox wouldn't have these issues - in fact it very likely wouldn't. And I definitely wouldn't expect you to switch over from an environment you're comfortable with. And the actual benefit of Window Maker, for me, is that I've been using it forever and there's nothing else out there that gives me any more features that I desperately need.

Frankly I'm a bit more shocked at how much marshmallow fluff costs. Whatever the hell marshmallow fluff is...

Perhaps so. In fact, probably so. Doesn't mean some very strong spotlights shouldn't be pointed in that direction. What he did /is/ despicable and it should make all us Freedom/Democracy Lovers very, very nervous.

Small nitpick here: Dodd is not an elected official anymore. So he doesn't have a congressional district. He USED to be, and when he was he fought very hard for the MPAA... and now he has a very well-paying job with them. Shocking, I know.

So lets go ask specific law enforcement agencies.

I've been watching season 4 of Chuck and just saw this episode. We have nothing to worry about, the CIA will have no problem recovering the bullets. Also the female CIA agent will develop a severe clothing allergy half-way through.

99.9% of my music was purchased on CDs (there's a couple of tracks from iTunes and Amazon's MP3 store).

CDs get immediately get ripped, in FLAC format, and copied to the media server. There is a parallel directory structure with all the music transcoded to MP3.

My media center computer in the living room (which is connected to the stereo) streams the FLAC from the server.

My phone streams the MP3 versions using Subsonic.

I have a small amount of SACD/DVD-A - those get played directly without streaming. Frankly I wish I had more of them. That's the worst thing about the "MP3 Revolution" - it killed the high-quality multichannel formats.
