Many monitors

If you had a multi-display setup arranged like this:
text version: A small 4-by-3 display is sandwiched between two extremely wide displays (above and below it). These extremely wide displays are in turn sandwiched by two extremey tall displays on the left and right, both extending from the side of the top display to the side of the bottom - forcing some gaps to the left and right of the small 4-by-3 display.

What happens if you were to open a Notepad window, move it to the top of your workspace, resize it to fill the width of your workspace, and then move the window down? As it is "split" by the empty space, will the window somehow expand horizontally to show all of its contents, or will some of its contents be hidden by "the void"?
On Windows, would parts of your desktop wallpaper not be rendered?

Who wants to test this for me? :D

"Free Public WiFi"

Ever seen this SSID: "Free Public WiFi"? I've got one in my wireless networks list right now. Notice how it's always an ad-hoc network?

I sincerely expected this to be an actual computer virus. It's interesting how it has instead spread just by how Windows handles SSIDs by default for ad-hoc networks. The most interesting part is that it is always "Free Public WiFi", not a variation on the phrase.

This all started from some unknown guy somewhere who started running an actual free, ad-hoc WiFi network. Now, the SSID of his network is known all around the world.
