Just please don't turn into that stuffy *other* site...ahhhgizmodochooo ...(excuse me) that kicks people off for not posting in perfect English.

My question is, who would miss those? I spend my time trying to hide that stuff.

I suppose this is good for XP. Vista's task scheduler is actually really nice.

Any way to turn that off? I personally hate things like that popping up whenever my mouse happens to wander.

Unfortunately, for all those who want to pull a Costanza and compose an email at 4 PM but have it send at 2 AM, you have to keep Outlook running. Won't work if you've logged off at 4 PM.

I like #5. The best technique so far for my passwords is to make them from the first letter of a favorite song lyric, with a number or two tacked on at the end. Then all I have to do is remember the song when I log in instead of a random string of letters.

@Daniel-Bham: Classic...

Ironic that I'm watching this guy on my monitor. Guess that doesn't count as TV?

@Ellie: Nice picture!

Was this brought to us by the same folks that told us to throw out all our books after we read them? Cold, cold people.

I've been using CCleaner for a couple years now and love it. The registry cleaner leaves something to be desired though, as all it finds for me are unused extensions (some of which I know are in use sometimes...hmmm...)

I got around IT lockdown by installing the portable FF on a thumb drive. Problem is, it's slloooowww. Sometimes so slow I bust out the IE just for some relief.

I must be pretty laid back, as opening a can of something to find out how much is left has never really bothered me.

If only they had a search option so I could find the right buttons to customize my Office 2003 toolbars. I hate sifting through the 100's of buttons trying to find the one I want.

I second/third/nth the holding your breath while sipping water. It works like a charm, and I use it every time since I first heard of it. Apparently it invokes a instinctual drowning response in your diaphragm and it'll stop the spasms.

Another tip: assign a name to your IF formula to give a description of what it's doing. Assigning names also clears up nested IF formulas; also, assigning a set of nested IF formulas a name gets you around Excel 2003's limit of 7 nested IFs.

However, the sensuality of a strawberry in a woman's mouth disappears when she starts awkwardly rubbing her teeth with it.

Sorry honey, Daddy's reached his 2-hour limit with you. Go play, I've got stocks to sell.
