Number one, common sense rule: Don't put stuff on the resume that doesn't have relevance to the job.

The list omits a pretty obvious step: backing up your documents, music, videos, and other non-product-key-and-setting things on your HDD.

"The only catch is that people you share with will need a Google account, but who doesn't have one these days."

@tmlfan81: I had a unique professor in college. She taught copyediting courses, but each of her courses had a project that revolved around writing resumes. And one thing I learned from her that I've never really heard in any resume class is that every resume should be customized to the position it's targeted at.

@pozican: Which works fine, except for the one file that was halfway copied. Even that wouldn't be so bad if Windows copied files in order of filename, which it doesn't always do.

Now if only they could add a "tag my music file with this information" function and build out their database a little (ok, a lot), it would be great.

Tagging, labeling, filing, organizing, searching finding! Blah. It takes too much time and way too much effort. And the one big pile idea? How the heck am I supposed to find anything?

Does the free version allow you to output to WMV or MPEG?

Be careful with this one. The allen wrenches that come with furniture aren't exactly guaranteed for life. If your drill has too much torque, you risk snapping the bit on top of stripping the screw or cracking your furniture.

So what do you meter off of when shooting fireworks? Do you wait until the fireworks start and meter off one of the bursts? Or do you meter off the (black) night-time sky? Or off of something lighter?

If there's a possibility I'll be doing anything larger than 5x7 prints, and I know what I'm shooting is something my wife wouldn't want to print, I shoot RAW. For point and shoot stuff I use JPG. For family events, I use RAW + JPEG so that I can easily distribute the JPEGs to Aunts/Grandmas etc. and so that I can get

Anyone know what kind of options this has for ripping? What file formats will it go to, what quality settings does it have, and so forth?

The keyboard shortcuts for em and en dashes use the number keypad hyphen, unless you set up custom keyboard shortcuts.

You could also simply give your drive a name, or assign it a permanent drive letter, so that anytime you plug it in it always gets assigned the same letter, or shows the name.

I bought a pack of large mug hooks from Home Depot and screwed about 6 of them into the back of the desk. All of my cables get held in the hooks, and I can easily get to any of them, remove them, or add new cables. I've never been happier.

My company uses Word exclusively, and track changes extensively. Here's some things I've learned:

Before I got married, everyone who had a legitimate need to contact me had my cell number. Same thing was true for my roommates. Our apartment complex "provided" a landline (we had no choice, it came with the lease). We all knew we didn't want to talk with anyone who called the landline. Our message:
