I mug people, but it's just to raise awareness for self-defense.

Good tip! I use Win+Right and Win+Left a lot, but hadn't tried pressing it several times in succession.

Using the person's name in the greeting is especially useful when you're CC'ing several others. Often the CC'd parties don't pay attention to whether the email was actually TO them, and start answering a question intended for someone else.

I think that's why they use 32 random alphanumeric characters at the end of the URL, unlike bit.ly or goo.gl. Guessing a valid one would be virtually impossible.

The freeware app SSDLife Free will give you the estimated lifetime of your drive, along with "Drive Health" and usage statistics. According to this app, I have 3077 hours of use on my nineteen-month-old Intel X-25M, which has 98% drive health and will last until 11/4/2020.

That does seem a bit classier, as it shows you at least invested the money and forethought into having cards printed.

Aesthetics, mostly. On your desk or in your browser, clutter = ugly.

You used to understand, or you wouldn't have switched to a beta web browser.

What I would love to see is a "Save Tabs and Exit" option in the Firefox menu. At least 98% of the time, I want to quit and throw away any open tabs. But for the other 2% of the time, I'd like a way to save them without being prompted every time I exit (or having to bookmark all).

Interactive screensavers strike me as funny — here's an application that's designed for you to use when you're away from your computer.
