Hmm, I rarely if ever eat in my full sized plates — they just feel way too large. Which isn't to say that I always eat reasonable portions ;) But full sized plates are so... BIG! I always use the dessert plates.

Are you assuming only men read lifehacker?

Best thing I did this year for my PC organisation was probably to fix up my photos! I got them all tagged by date — for the old stuff without metadata, I tagged by the month, for the rest, I grabbed a tiny little program called "nameexif" that renames photos by the date and time they are taken. Then I sorted them by…

@Mr_Bloggerific: They stopped supporting serial at XP I believe. :(

@Michael Huang: I think this is pretty much what I tried last time that failed. However I wil lretry. Do I need the "," before COM1 (or, well, in my case COM3 )?]

@mfusion: hush you ;)

Hello! I need your help, lifehacker (even though this may be more gizmodo suited?).

@CameronHeron: Yes, this. I breathed deeply for a long time, but definitely did not hold my breath for 30 minutes! (also, she :)

Far from a new thing! I used to do this (maybe not true hyperventilating, but lots of very deep breathing) so I could do the most loops in the pool when I was younger. I once did it for at least 30 minutes and stayed under water... probably the longest I ever had! I kind of want to try it again — but I've never been…

@arden13: But the point in this article is that EVERY SINGLE RAT on HFCS got obese, no? It's not a "some got fat, some didn't" , "you might get obese" thing.

My best advice for forums: join one with a topic. I belong to a few forums with a specific topic that have a "free chat" board. The free chat board is CONSTANTLY filled with drama regardless of the forum, but these same people who insult and flame each other talk perfectly politely to each other on the focused parts…

@taziar: Oh, very cool! Thanks :)

oh man! I remember someone on a craft forum I frequent looking everywhere for a way to cut bottles like this without them shattering. I'm surprised we never found bottle cutting kits as a solution ... haha. I really wish I drank enough to have a reason to buy one, some bottles really are gorgeous.

@papayalily: Well, I have no robe (nor snuggie, actually), so that may be the issue. I still don't feel like wearing a snuggie makes you look any more of a "tool" than wearing a blanket though—especially considering there's not supposed to be anyone around to judge you when you use one. (Now if you're putting on…

@taziar: No no. I mean the title bar. I have a single firefox bar, plus my tabs... plus the standard top space eaten by the Windows GUI. I meant I wish I could use that windows bar space. I realize that's impossible ;)

@joeny1980: I never understand that specific claim. Since when does a robe cover my feet and feel blankety? Have you never tried to read from under a blanket and had freezing arms?

@aaronspuler: The point is to do it with keyboard shortcuts, I think. I installed a hot key program just so I could hide/show my bookmarks toolbar with a shortcut key. I like it.

You know what this makes me think? I wish there was a way to utilise the windows top bar with the title and the minimise/close buttons. I would rather have my menu up there, the text as a hoverable affair (it's not important enough to warrant the strip of screen real estate, really), the close/etc buttons kept at the…

keyboard, of course, then pen and paper, and last any kind of phone-input. I rarely use mine and it's touch screen, so I'm sloow with it.

NOT notepad. I really like this "tip," though I suspect most people on lifehacker already know it, but notepad will often mangle and garble text that would be showing up just fine anywhere else. Do it in a notepad replacer, or even in wordpad, otherwise you might get "garbled text" that is actually just fine.
