@unwallflower [I posted this list back in April. Can't figure out how to link to it, so, sorry for the repost] These are some sci-fi/fantasy favorites.

Thank you

@marand Thanks, I'll give the console trick a shot.

Hey Ubuntu users, I have an Ubuntu (Meerkat) question that should be easy to answer. I dual boot my Inspiron 9100 with XP Home and Ubuntu. On the XP side I have it set so that when I close my lid the computer goes into standby, a few moments of noise, a soft click, and the computer rests. When I open the lid the…

@ehed I once saw a kind of anti-PETA bumper sticker: "I love animals! They're delicious!"

I don't know about inside the house, but when I lived in Puerto Rico we would get rid of outside swarms with boiling water. Boil water in a big pot (though not so big you won't be able to walk with it!) and then bring the pot outside and pour it out onto the mass of ants. They get fried (or boiled, I guess) and go…

Oh no! I'm posting on a Sunday, the kiss of death for open thread! Does anyone still read this by Sunday? Oh well, I'll add the tag at the end.

The AC adapter brick for my Dell Inspiron 9100 just died. Does anyone have experience with generic adapters for the 9100? Most that I've seen, though not all, cost less than the original Dell part. Any experiences with pluses or misuses?

Just curious, is there a difference on Fridays between the Open Thread and the Ask & Answer? It seems redundant since questions are asked in the former anyway. Am I missing some hidden LH knowledge? Is one populated by albino assassin monks?

Thanks for the suggestions, Hasteur and digitalvaldosta. When I read an article and then go to the next one, the first one is automatically marked as read. I'll try the safe start up.

There is no way, as far as I can see, to mark it read. Instead I read the little synopsis within the Outlook preview pane, and then delete the entry.

I have asked this before in the weekly open thread as well as the open thread forum and received no hits. I know it is a technical and focused question, but I need help. Searching on Google and Microsoft has not helped me at all. My question is about Microsoft Outlook's RSS reader. I use Outlook 2007 and I am…

Never mind Haven, they kept wrestling!!??

Do hot dogs count? With relish?

Plans? I will be celebrating Masses at the parish for the 5th Sunday of the Easter Season. I will be enjoying a little time off as well. And I will be praying for all those people who quit their jobs or used up their savings in anticipation of Saturday being the end of things. I really feel bad for anyone who has…

I'm not sure if you use Outlook at work, but I do and I have it monitor my Gmail account. More than one account can be monitored by Outlook and any email comes straight into my outlook folder. I actually have three different email addresses monitored in Outlook. Very handy if you have to use Outlook anyway.

@MattyMattMatt says use UserScript 'Gawker Media Redirect'

Thank you! @jupiterthunder
