Mac OS X on PC

After trying at least 4 distributions, it seems this one finally works, give it a shot if you have issues:
Firefox Undo Close Tab
Sep 29th
Did you know of this ? Very useful – right-click on the tab bar / undo close tab. Now only if Ctrl-Z was assigned to do this …
Massive ActionScript Gotcha
Sep 26th
var srcR:Rectangle = r;
srcR.offset( -srcBm.x, -srcBm.y);
But as Rectangle is a reference class, in fact, in ActionScript every class is passed by reference so the above code will modify r also.
Linq Join Two Lists side-by-side
Sep 19th
Easy: Enumerable.Range( 0, list1.Count).Select( i => list1[i] + ” – ” + list2[i])
Semaphore Pool
Sep 19th
It seems that there’s nothing in .NET similar to MsgWaitForMultipleObjects, I needed a semaphore list with the ability to wait for an item to be released (and to get that semaphore’s index). The closest thing I did was a loop to wait for each semaphore a time slice, however it’s far from optimal. Still looking into it.
