I've been hit with this recently. I moved stuff to related subdirectories, but it was still taking forever for the Green Line of Death to come to a standstill. And this fixed it completely. And now I'll try to remember this if and when it happens again.

Maybe it's the crap I have installed (and installed for me that I can't get rid of...), but my biggest annoyance is to hear my phone ring, ring and ring. And the screen won't respond fast enough for me to answer it. Either it just shows the notification bar, and nothing else, or it actually shows me the answer…

OK, so in the example, somebody was just too lazy to add C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC\ to the PATH environment variable. And then you just type mirc and it works. Win+R, search programs, or even from the command line, CMD.EXE or PowerShell.exe. Or even Cygwin's shells.

Well, I used to have reading glasses about 14 years ago, but adjustments in my contacts have fixed that problem. Never had a problem if I wore my glasses.

I'm running Firefox, and I know that there are similar extensions for Firefox.

Yep. Now, it's generally only my start page (every link opens up in a new tab) which I use to start my email, RSS reader and other such things, and my RSS reader (theoldreader.com) that I open from it. And those two tabs are open all the time. And after I have about five or more tabs opened up, I'll browse them and…

Get off my screen, you damn punk whippersnapper!

Windows-L to lock my keyboard from the grandchild... Although only 3, she has figured out the Switch Users button and is able to click on the other account to get access to her "ABCs", otherwise known as YouTube videos.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "Test me"

Can't say that I have.

Wow, the picture was INTP when I started this, and then moves me to ISTJ. One of my sons is ISTJ, thank you, not me. My wife is ISTP. Which makes life interesting when both of us are introverts. Sometimes hilarious (and not in a good way) when we think we have said something to the other. And we haven't. The…

That's me!

I roll my own start page (http://www.bryanlprice.com/linkstomonitor…) thank you. I use flat files and put them through a Powershell program (with a bit of m4 tinkering...) and create the html file. One makefile to rule them all, even using CLI FTP to upload the files. I just type make, either Command Prompt or…

There are a bunch of things in "Bigger is better" that are quite the gotcha's. If I were to have a head on with my 2013 Sonata and my dad's 1973 New Yorker or the even heavier 1969 Le Baron, both 440 cubic inch engines, I would feel safer in the Sonata, despite being outweighed by double. And believe me, I would…

Don't get me started about that La Rosa's Recipe at King's Island! I will cut whoever makes that crap!

Well, according to the Certified Diabetes Educator that I had (five years ago), you subtracted the grams of fiber and half the grams of alcohol sugars from the total listed carbs to get net carbs.

I'm not sure why we need such an addon.

Yep, that was the exact point I was thinking.

I build for myself. I usually buy for my wife, although, last time, her old computer (which was a real POS) was getting to the point where to fix it would cost more than a new one. I saw a bare build from that place that I will never buy from again (too many issues with bad parts that somehow aren't recognized as…

I'm more of an Urbanspoon user than a Yelp user, but I did post a very negative review about a local restaurant (part of a chain) that was pretty scathing. I even put the blame where it belonged, on the idiot at the counter. One would expect that the counter person after my declaration of that this was my first time…
