Perceptive!

This is what you read if you want to protect a building from an EMP shockwave.  The guidelines are geared towards designing against a high-altitude nuclear detonation which would cause a specific type of EMP (called HEMP) that is annoying to deal with.  This is the military standard for how one ought to deal with it.  Most of the rest of the HEMP research is classified.

A KDE developer is surprised to find that Spaces is truely terrible to use and ponders how it could be that kwin’s virtual desktop implementation is just so much better.  The answer of course is that Apple really messed up spaces and Linux has about 20 years on Apple at this, but that’s not really my point.  My point is for everyone that says virtual desktops aren’t that great who *hasn’t* used them (and I mean really used them, not just tried them out one time) with a competent X11 window manager… you still don’t know what you’re talking about.
