Entitled “A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection“, this article details many of the hassles that Digital Rights Management will add in the upcoming Windows Vista.

Specifically, you could buy a computer with an HD drive and hook it to an HP monitor, but Vista would degrade the signal because the monitor isn’t a trusted device.

The author did an excellent job of explaining what could go very, very bad, especially when I probably won’t ever get an HD drive in my computer.

I always forget this:

rake -T

I like to print out a listing every so often, as I tend to add my own rake tasks for projects and it’s very handy to have a list of them!

Every time I connect to my work computer, my Firefox window gets messed up.  The tab close button disappears off the right side, the tabs don’t stop at the right edge, and the status bar is hidden behind the Windows taskbar.  For some reason, Firefox doesn’t get that the screen resolution has switched.

Before, I used to either close Firefox, or change the taskbar to hide then unhide it, or generally just  get frustrated with it.

But, I found that dragging the Windows taskbar to be two rows high resets the Firefox window!  So, that’s all I have to do now.
