I have been following Ramit for quite a while now and the freemiums he offers to his readers are pretty snazzy.

@wilee: In addition to using a green screen for film, you can also use it for photography. I used a portable green screen for a church directory because they wanted to use their own background images.

"...eaing the transition to Google Voice" should probably be "...easing..."

ExplorerXP has a simple and fast renamer if you are looking for something in the "Explorer Replacement" catagory. [www.explorerxp.com]

I used something similar with one of the "speed dial" plug-ins for Firefox. It let me specify an area of a website to monitor for changes and displayed an image on a large button. This was helpful for me with websites that had weather radar or a website where I was expecting a change (a finished report). There are…

@Oranges w/ Cheese: Indeed! And on another note, I just imagined what your name would taste like. Wow.

I VOTE: tinyurl

I use Microsoft Photo Info. It works well for what I use it for, although I like the idea of the geotagging on this new tool. Thanks as always.

Hmm, while some of these are great ideas when it is warmer out, what about any others that don't involve going out in near freezing temperatures? Maybe another topic to expand on?

@mb: Yeah, thats what I thought too.

First of all, DON'T PANIC! Second, In the event that you have access and permission to install programs on the computer you are displaying your PowerPoint, and you need to use the default fonts available in Office 2007, download the PowerPoint 2007 viewer. As part of its package, it installs the fonts Calibri,…

@Rayven01: Your link is broken ... this should fix it: [svn.gnucash.org]

Heck, I just wish it would work on my computer ... the site lacks requirements (that I saw) and it hangs after the splash screen. Would love to give it a proper review, but until then ...

@Cidinho: I agree with you, I personally have rarely had any proper use for thumbnails on my PC.

I can vouch for this. Best example was last night. I stayed up until 11p getting overtime and got up at 5a this morning. Half the day at work, I was more tired than a Goodyear. :-p

@josef.sabl: Yeah, it is annoying at times, but there is a "solution" to that problem.

I use FreeMind whenever I need to mindmap. It is freeware, no strings attached. I believe you must have the latest version of JRE installed though. Anywho.

I have read so many books, and tried so many techniques, on topics such as this, and so far, I have never had a lucid dream, or any such experience. I shall add this to my pile of techniques. While I believe (as opposed to know) this type of stuff is possible, and (as the poster in X-Files says) I want to believe…

@Mark: While I won't get into the debate of Open Office, Office 2000, Office 2003, and Office 2007, the author could have very well made a "prettier" chart without having to spend oodles on an office upgrade.

@FRITZK3: Unfortunately, that doesn't always (sometimes) hold true when you buy a house. More importantly, are your assets (things that derive an income) enough to use them as capital?
