So what are the system requirements for AVG? Not the ones on the website or in the documentation, but the real requirements. I have avoided AVG because it has memory conflicts with Open Office, as explained by John Haller (the man behind PortableApps.com) here on Lifehacker a few months ago.

@Ssscorpion: If you don't do it already, add logical operators to your searches.

How about something simple, like using HTML/Java/Javascripts/etc. that conforms to the standards set out by the World Wide Web Consortium, instead of making "targeted code"? The W3 is the group that sets the standards for the internet, yet the largest software companies - google, microshaft, among others - violate…

@Wolfen: I didn't know about the hotkey. I always rightclick on the taskbar to open it.

Am I the only person who thinks the solution to problem resolution is talking? That when somebody has a way/habit of doing things that annoy others, I talk about it openly to said person in a polite way?

I do most of my searches through the images, maps, news, groups and videos, more than I do text searches.

I speed up my checkout time three ways:

Having two partions is always a good idea. A copy of DOS, Lose95 or Lose98 on a 5-10GB C: drive (along with Free-AV's Avira NTFS4DOS Personal, which is freeware) will allow you to recover, reformat, or reinstall your NT-based D: drive without reformatting the entire hard drive.

My newer 8GB MP3 player handles both sound and video, something my phone doesn't do. Also the phone's speaker is too tinny to listen to for long periods of time, the sound is only tolerable for a few songs.

I'm a sports stat addict, so TV and the internet were made for each other. I can look up game stats for hockey, football, or baseball, or I can look at the telemetry and positions of cars while a race is going on.

Does the app do anything to reduce or eliminate the inaccuracies and improve the content? If not, why bother?

@matilde: Once again, .NET Trainwreck lives down to its name, leading to something only "works" on some PCs, but it falsely portrayed as being "usable by all".

@splintersag: Go one better: don't install spyware or adware in the first place.

How difficult can it be to get thick liquids out?

Why not just create a single blog on Google's blog space, or a single web page, to post long URLs?

@ericesque: Odds are, the "uninstall" only removes digsby while leaving the spyware untouched. Their argument will be, "It's not our software, you installed it yourself!"

If you can afford a hotel room, you can afford restaurant food. If you want to cook, get a motel room with a kitchenette.

I take the time to read the EULAss (read: useless) EULA, and anything that admits it contains such spyward and adware doesn't get installed. I don't blame the end users for not reading the EULA, I blame the writers for using legalese instead of English.

Why use CC: or create a contacts list on your email account when you can pay somebody to do it?
