How to Keep a Window Always on Top in Windows

(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)

Each iteration of Windows has welcomed some great functionality, but it still lacks an ability which can be very useful: keeping a window permanently visible. Having a video or reference document visible can be great while trying to multi-task in other windows. Thankfully, third-party solutions exist to work around this problem.

All that is needed is a quick, simple download. Download this utility from box.net, and unzip it somewhere easily accessible (such as your desktop).

Now, open any window you wish to keep permanently open, and press Ctrl+Space. Now that window should be always on top!

» Block Comments in Perl

Like many scripting languages, there is no real way to do block comments in Perl. The proper way to do a block comment is simply to comment out each line with a # along the left side, and in fact many popular text editors such as vim and emacs facilitiate this behavior (we have a tutorial on how to do it in emacs ).There is an easier way to make the compiler ignore a block of code if you are interested in a less visibly-obvious solution. This is great for short-term solutions but it...
