A team of U.S. scientists has discovered two new subatomic particles that are rare but important relatives of the proton and neutron.

xplorer2 : Windows Explorer Replacement

There are quite a few file browsers for windows, and they all generally do the same dang thing. After being used to features available to Windows Explorer, it is hard to switch to something else, because most of those alternatives are lacking in something. I have tried a bunch, but none of them I like more than xplorer2 (lite). Xplorer2, from Zabkat. The lite version is available for private or academic use only. It has all the features available to Windows Explorer, plus it adds more, like dual panes, tabs in each pane, and other cool features like mass rename, visual filters, etc. Plus, when you open it, it remembers where you were browsing the last time you used it. If you would like to know more of why all those features are advantages, email me . That is my suggestion for today.
