Is there any reason why you couldn't use dd with an offset to accomplish this?

The last word should probably be spelled correctly. My point is, your tactic of talking down to me like I'm a child, and my tactic of harping on your ineptitude in the use of the English language are designed to make the other party feel like an idiot, without actually addressing the concerns or ideas relevant to the topic at hand. Anyway, you can have the last word, but please use grammar-check this time.

And the reason is...?

OR there actually is a(n) (un)known higher power Who is making "arbitrary" rules for the benefit of everyone, helping us to live the best way possible in a world that, due to our rebellion, is not as good as it could have been. Therefore, we should obey His rules, even when we don't understand why they are what they are. We all see things the way we want to, I suppose. Just don't pretend my explanation isn't just as valid as yours.

Perhaps I could have phrased that better: "phrasing designed to make the other guy feel like an idiot". My point is that you offered an old, unsettled question as though it were an answer. The Bible teaches that evil entered into the world because people rebelled against God, who is, and whose intentions were, totally good. You can say you don't believe that to be true, but it is a valid (albeit disputable) perspective. To act as though it were invalid is intellectually dishonest, and to capitalize on a tragedy in order to advance your views is reprehensible. You and Pat Robertson should hang out sometime.

First, great sentence construction! Second, religion is not philosophy, but rather an entire system of life than encapsulates everything from philosophy to cosmology to biology to sociology to nutrition and hygiene. Last, Christianity purports to be true. If it is true, we should be able to verify it, at least the testable aspects of it. Some of Christianity's claims are untestable by scientific means, but verification of the claims that could be tested would certainly lend credibility to the untestable claims, which is why religion does intersect with science in a major way. You're drastically oversimplifying the issue.

I'm rubber, you're glue. ;P I'm just very tired of people relying on phrasing that makes the other guy feel like an idiot rather than actually offering new ideas. I suppose my response was a bit hypocritical, though.

...which is a good reason not to use it as an arguing point. Besides that, there are seven separate answers listed on that wikipedia page alone, one of which I prefer. You can claim there are no "real answers", but I would respond by pointing out that we come to this problem with a predisposition to a certain answer, and my perception of an answer being real versus your perception of it as lame is largely dependent on baggage we brought to the discussion.

My point is that someone using the problem of evil (with which I've long been familiar) as an argument against the existence of a god is not really a useful contribution to the discussion.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Do you always pick the most cliche response possible? You're good at it.

My point was that, no matter how popular the iPad gets, it won't be a netbook, and won't fill the same market spot as the netbook.

The iPad is one product...Netbooks are a genre of device. Add to that the aversion of folks like me to using anything put out by Apple, and I don't see much chance of the iPad replacing a whole genre of DIY-friendly hardware.

I use multiple monitors on my linux laptop with an Intel IGP. And, like others have said, that's not what the OP is asking about anyway. Don't spread FUD, please.

Fedora's dual-monitor setup is even easier...you don't have to press an awful keystroke combination like "Windows-P". Besides, the OP isn't asking how to set up dual-monitor. He's asking how to set up a separate workspace on each monitor, something that should not be out of reach with X's new multi-input functionality, something I've not heard of in the Windows or Mac world. BTW, I'm using an Intel IGP, not an nvidia card. It might not work great on an ATI card, but...well...it might if ATI had anywhere near decent linux support.
