Dating Site Makes Millions by Connecting Cheaters
I was pretty blown away when I recently was approached by a representative for a dating website strictly for millionaires. However, this is LA, and that kind of mentality (we are rich and/or beautiful, therefore, we are better than you and deserve elite social status) is not that uncommon.
THIS, however, this takes the cake! Ashley Madison (seemingly innocent name, right?) is an agency with the sole purpose of assisting married folks in being unfaithful. Their tagline says it all - “Life is Short. Have an Affair.” Ummm…. what?!?! Is this allowed? What happened to morals? Wait a minute, what am I talking about. This is Hollywood baby!!!

The suite is quite easy to use although you should make sure you have a few gigabytes of hard drive space free because it will need to download over 2GB if you want to run all of the tests.

There are times when I find Compiz quite nifty
In particular, I really like two things about Compiz. One is the preview of the windows I have open when switching from one workspace to another or from one app to another. The other is the magnification of the screen when I press Alt +1 (or 2 or 3). I find it really helpful.
I haven’t really turned on the option for Compiz before. When I installed Hardy Heron, the settings were normal and I just had to take them as they are so that I could try out some Compiz effects for the heck of it. I haven’t really done that before because I was having trouble often enough, aside from the fact that I mainly used GNOME or Openbox and they met most of my needs anyway.
When I need to look at details and couldn’t use a dual-monitor setup, the keyboard shortcut for magnification [...]
