I honestly miss front row.

If front row still existed, I wouldn't be throwing away my 08 blackbook. It's not really powerful enough to be a server, but it would make an awesome HTPC.

Or, if he wants something even closer to xmonad:

https://github.com/fjolnir/xnomad

It works really well. Been using it for a while. The only real complaint I have about it is that it's based on xmonad instead of dwm, so a chosen unfocused window swaps with the focused window when you change focus instead of the formerly focused window being pushed to the top of a stack. But for working as a userspace program on OS X with no real modifications, it's really nice.

I've tried Slate, Divvy, and at least 5 or 6 others. xnomad is the only one I like.

Terrible test. I got 19/20 based entirely on knowing what the original logos looked like on a few of them (Agfa and DEC, mostly). I thought I'd fail because I've never paid attention to those fonts.

If it was done with novel text, the results would have been different.

Just mentioning in case anyone cares, that hacker also released xnomad, which adds dwm-like window management to OS X. It's a bit buggy, but it works the vast majority of the time and rarely screws up……it just ignores things more than I would like and doesn't work well with multiple spaces.

In addition to probably millions of pieces of cyberpunk/science fiction, there was a crack in Gilmore Girls about victims not caring if you take away their freedom slowly and without them noticing at first.

>Are there any relatively common tasks that will actually be prevented by this level of ghosting? I don't mean "it's a bit annoying", I mean "this task is no longer feasible".

Apple bills their computers as "the computers you do stuff with". They have a long history in the professional media/content creation business, and their marketing campaigns and advertizements for the last several years were based on bringing those capabilities to the mainstream.

If nothing else, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand come with every Mac.

With those issues, two of the potential uses for the computer–which comes bundled with Apple software to do them–become infeasible for anyone who cares if they exist at all.

Am I weird for returning a monitor to best buy for 2 dead (glowing green) pixels?

It's not like it was a high end display. It's was a $130 1920x1080 LG that kept it's black-friday pricing for at least a week, probably because it's old.

I mean…they didn't bat an eye, they just gave me a new one. It's almost like they want their customers to be happy with their purchases.
