I've done the same thing plenty of times on my Windows 7 laptop and have never had that happen to me. Everything switches over to my laptop monitor when I unplug it from the external monitor, and everything pops up on the laptop monitor when I bring it up and the external monitor's not connected. Maybe I'm just…

Danke sehr! Ich versuche immer, mich zu verbessern, auch wenn es nur um Sprachkenntnisse geht.

Unser Planet kreisen die Sonne in ungefähr 365.25 Tage um. Sie sagen, dass das Universum produziert Systeme, in denen die Planeten ihre Sonnen in ungefähr 100 Tage (oder weniger) umkreisen. In unser System ist Merkur der einzige Planet, der die Sonne in weniger als 100 Tage umkreist (wenn ich mich richtig daran…

Unless Gmote has changed since the last time I used it, it's pretty different from my experiences with TeamViewer. Gmote lets one use a phone/tablet as a mousepad or for text input, given you can see your computer screen to control it. It also functions only if both the computer and the device are on the same network,…

I'm 100% on board with you on the music. That was how I learned so much German. It helped my listening comprehension so much it's silly, and because I enjoyed the music, I made sure I knew the lyrics and what they meant, which forced me to learn tons of vocab. I'm now fluent in German, and I honestly attribute at…

The fact that there are lots of silly things about English (and pretty much every other language) is entirely irrelevant. Sure, you can make it seem really absurd if you want to! But you could do that with virtually anything. If one is writing in a professional capacity in a particular language, it is expected that…

I haven't had a single wifi issue at all, and I've had it for several months now.

VOTE: Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T.

I imagine it comes with the codes that let you have a WoW account that's upgraded through all the expansions. Otherwise no one would buy any of the expansions ever and would just re-download the game from the site every time a new one came out.

I have three knives. One is something that looks like a cross between a chef's knife and a santoku, one is a paring knife, and one is a bread knife. Of them, I probably use the paring knife the least, but having all of them makes my life way easier. I don't think there's a point to having any more than those three,…

I hope you mean Asus, not Acer.

That's how I always do it, and it's worked just fine for me. It's a very rare case when I'm trying to search for something and I either don't want to use Google or can't find the page I'm looking for very easily via Google.

I had no idea that you could add checkboxes to Evernote. This just made my life a lot better.

Apparently Kentucky doesn't have one. Boo.

I don't feel like I'm wasting time when I'm on a flight, but I do get bored. So far I've never experienced in-flight wifi, either. I just rely on books, music, and the (usually failed) attempts at trying to get a little sleep.

Really? That sounds kind of weird, but thinking about it, I feel like it also happens in the US at times. Surely not on the same scale, of course. My entire family has some degree of a southern accent, but I've always unconsciously associated that sort of accent (along with the general manner of speaking that…

In Germany, there are dialects all over the place. I've been in Bavaria for the past 5 months, so I've heard a lot about the various dialects in different parts of Bavaria. In about an hour or so by train, you can go through at least three major dialect areas.

And yet it's one of the most-used languages in the world...

I'm still rocking my Motorola Atrix, which has a 4" qHD display just like this one, and I feel like it's the perfect size for me. It's relatively easy for me to reach anywhere on the screen while holding it in one hand, everything's really clear and crisp, and it fits in my pocket really well. My girlfriend still has…

I don't think I've ever felt trapped by technology. I enjoy having it and using it, and sometimes I find it difficult to let go of it to do other things for a while (which is a minor problem I've been working on), but I've never felt trapped by it.
