I can reproduce the problem at will on my XP system running Fences 0.99.2032. If I lock the desktop, and unlock it sometime later, there will be 2-4 of these explorer windows open.

[quote]I filled the bowl of one of my meerschaum pipes with the tobacco and gave it a whirl. Despite it having a little bit of a bite the flavor was quite nice. I could really taste the apricot although it wasn't overly flavored to the point of being sickeningly sweet. Very nice. This one is a very good after dinner smoke, perhaps with a nice brandy or port.[/quote] Brings back memories of my Grandfather smoking a pipe. I always loved the aroma as a child.

Hello again! Gid got outed by Little Whip as a fraud. He came back for awhile claiming innocence. Whip later got permanently "destroyed" by Brad (Draginol, Frogboy, site owner ) for ruffling too many feathers. Dr. Guy just vanished - I don't know what (if anything) happened, but I hope all is well. Too many good people are gone. Some gave their reasons, some just went *POOF*. While I am hardly prolific here, I miss their contributions. Some have changed their ide

First a disclaimer: as a registered Apple iPhone Developer, I get the updates for free as long as I remain registered in the program ($100/year). In fact, I just downloaded the first 3.1 beta last week. Do I think that it is worth $10? Absolutely! Now, not every new feature is for everyone, and some of the features you might not use right away (for example, peer to peer gaming), but $10 too much? Ya gotta be kidding me, right!? Software ain't cheap to develop, and there a

Oh, one more thing. Your brother-in-law must be some sort of a super genious. Much smarter than Einstein - like maybe a Wile E. Coyote. For he has a complete grasp of an extremely complex system by looking at some data and running it through a super computer. Applying the same logic as the AGW theorists, we should surely be able to predict the future of the economy simply by looking at supply and demand. Clearly you need to only consider one criterion as it relates to a complex system.

[quote]all I said was that mankind has the moral responsibility to the future generations to think before doing things that we don't know the outcome of for sure and that could have uncontrollable consequences.[/quote] If that was the case, then mankind never should have stepped out of the first cave - if you can't predict the outcome, then you shouldn't make a move, right?

I don't know where to begin. Yes, I do - congratulations Tova on a job well done! It doesn't matter whether every editor or bureaucrat likes your style. You did the job right, and that's all that counts. And from where I sit, you've done it well. Excellent work, my dear!

I've got a Vista Ultimate laptop (HP 17"), and one of the new Mac laptops (13.3"). They're both good, and I use them for different purposes. BTW, I'm a software developer, so my needs are different from yours. Both platforms will readily do what you've described. The Mac really is impressive. Apple has really mastered the "wow" factor, but Vista (with a little bit of Stardock thrown in for good measure) is nothing to sneeze at. There's really nothing to be afraid of here. I tend
