My main annoyance is that there's no "stop" button - no way to get a video to stop playing, and stop loading. If I want to load a video page, it plays anyway, and it downloads anyway. Same for embedded videos - if people embed the video too small and I can't get the fullscreen button, I open the full page. But it…

I just came to realize that after using "libraries", my save/open actions end up taking more time, not less... one extra folder jump here, one more level there... instead of My Documents, I have Libraries - Documents. And for what? Til now I'd just rationalized it as the ability to search from Start. Yet, no, that's…

Wow. I must be a rare one... I don't watch TV at all, and when I do, I'm just watching TV. Never even thought of doing both at the same time, seems like kind of a waste...

I must be the only person here that's so poor I haven't seen a dentist at any time in recent memory...

@Navin R Johnson: Exactly. I threw out this whole article as soon as I read that 4gb RAM is good to have and "avoids paging" (with 4gb RAM, your page file should be disabled...), then set it ablaze when I read about the so-called "golden rule". What a crock of baloney. It annoys me to no end, finding people afraid to…

@24fc: Clearly, you've never run MyDefrag with my script, then.

I cook up my own email addresses now. It's a new trick I just cooked up (and damnit, that laggy comments box thing again...). (edit: okay - new to ME as in, I didn't get the idea from anyone else...)

I think that if I wanted to use a CD, I'd have to split it up anyway... the unfortunate thing is, chopping up a CD to get it to fit into the ATM kinda makes it unplayable. Honestly, my car doesn't even have a CD player, only an MP3 line-in that I hacked into it. So I don't often carry CDs with me to the bank anyway.

Interesting, seeing the ad for the Prius with the solar-roof just under this article. That would be a solution to the "where does the moisture go" problem: solar roof -> power fans -> blow moisture out just slowly enough to keep the inside hot and the moisture out. Crappy reason to get a Prius though.

@kettlewhistle: 1.43mb starting size? Call me when you have 16.1mb (as I do now) and higher... I remember mine being 32mb in the past, but I'd recently run Vacuum (what an odd name) when that post first went up. Believe me, it helps.

Hm, sorely missing a link to the portable version.

Um, just how, exactly, does an MP3 tool mess with the Windows registry?! That line alone rather concerns me. Yeah, I know the registry inside and out, and that's what worries me about having a registry warning on an MP3 tool...

@elfchick: If the sample rate were higher, it would be much easier to understand, even if the volume were too low. I'd wage a guess that: Yes, that is one of the major reasons. Other than that, the fault is that their call-takers aren't trained on how to properly adjust their headsets, but... if the sample rate…

Saw the title, expected it to be about addressing the horribly low 8KHz bar that we've set for phone conversations... saw it was about friggin' cell phones as usual... came back disappointed.

What the hell is there a CANCEL button here for if it's so easy to mash and totally kill your shiny, completed comment with just one misplaced click?

@BigCanada: Yeah, I remember Netscape, and the reason that I used it was because it actually rendered web pages properly over old IE 3.0 that couldn't even render tables properly. I also had a Hotmail account at the same time as well. Like the rest of the sane universe, I fled to Internet Explorer as soon as Netscape…

@Phoshi: "Connection wasn't stable enough..." automatically makes me think of a torrent as the best solution. And, uh, why would you need to set up a Gmail account?

@balls187: How, exactly, is plugging a standard 2-pin power cable into a Mac power brick a good way to burn one's house down? Seeing as though Apple themselves make a similar cord (probably for 30 times the cost), it would take a wild stroke of the imagination to somehow believe it would be anything relating to…

No, no, no and no. I'm on the complete other side of this issue. "Plastic" takes many more forms than just that thing where particularly braindead morons think "oh it's just fake money" (real credit). Most of the time, debit cards are used in the same way as credit cards, except that they're using real money, as…

@tatsuyame: Not quite correct either. MyDefrag is basically JkDefrag V4. The developer changed the name of the utility and completely changed the way the program operates. Just open the forum and it becomes clear...
