I know Powershell has background job functionality with Start-Job, Wait-Job, etc., but is it possible to use the Process class from System.Diagnostics in .Net to achieve the same thing? If so, what would be the best way to do it/what advantages would it have over the default Powershell mechanism of running background jobs? ...

I read about of a possible issue with the simulator, ...
I have a site which uses largeish (60-100k) background images which vary from page to page. When the user loads the page for the fist time, the page content is loaded first and the background image appears a short time after. This is, I understand, intended behavior in browsers but it makes the page loading look quite "bumpy" on slow...

Hello, I'm looking for the answer to my question but it's quite difficult for me. I would like to keep connected to the server in background sending location of the iphone with ios4.

I know how to make AlertDialog's of various types. But, how can I make an AlertDialog with the background fuzzy as if it is out of focus (i.e. like using a telephoto lens)?

On my friend's Mac, it displays correctly, but the right-click behavior is acting up. On Firefox, right-clicking doesn't do anything. On Safari, right-clicking always displays the Flash's contextual ...
