Found on bash:
xxx: Installed an utility, it creates 4 virtual desktops in XP. So convenient...
yyy: If only there were 4 virtual brains in the head - that would be convenient.
xxx: Well, there's a patch like that too. Called schizophrenia. But impossible to uninstall.

(I think it's called MPD ;) When the other personalities do not front, it's more like, um, expansion cards? :) Oh and most of Linux window managers include the virtual desktops functionality by default. Isn't it stupid that Windoze requires a special utility for it!)

Current Mood: amused

Hehe :)

Totally agreed on the workspaces, it's probably one of the most important things why I don't like Windows. How could anyone possibly work on one workspace only?

What's bash btw?

Oh, there are so many reasons for not liking Windows :) Actually, I have a virtual desktop thingie on my dual-boot computer (*blush* I use Windows very rarely, only for games), but it's a lot more primitive, ugly and inconvenient than any of Linux WMs. Like, can't send an application from one virtual desktop to another, wtf?

The original bash is http://bash.org . But it's updated so rarely and most of the quotes are rather unfunny, I don't bother to check it anymore. All my bash quotes are from Russian (http://bash.org.ru) and German (http://german-bash.org , http://ibash.de) clones, I translate them myself.

Yeah I also have it on dual-boot. I must use it sometimes (but not for games :)), in my work there's one part that only works on Windows, so I have to boot there if I develop something connected to that part. Another reason for not liking Windows - you have to restart it so often! On every update and on pretty much any software you install you'll get "Please restart your system for the changes to take effect", craziness. You could work on Linux without a restart for months, unless you decide to upgrade the kernel, then you must reboot with the new kernel.

Now I remembered about bash.org :) I haven't checked the website but still have read a lot of the quotes, because, most of the ssh servers at my university are configured to show you a random quote whenever you login (and I think the quotes are from the bash.org database). Some of those quotes are totally awesome! :)
