@kettlewhistle: Google's analysis of a page might determine that it says "Bert", but people have links pointing to it that say "Ernie", so that page ranks high in a "Bert Ernie" search but low in a "Bert AND Ernie" search.

@404notfound: I think horizontal scrolling is only natively supported in Vista+, so I'd bet that Google's Javascript doesn't work in XP.

Just imagine, 6 more pulls and he'd have a million strands!

Git definitely has a horrible default GUI.

@jeffeb3: Until you wake up, screaming "Can you see?" ... that part would suck.

I love stores that offer "49¢ each, 2 for $1".

@ThinkerTDM: There's definitely a big difference between the two phrases.

@phynx: I use AutoHotKey too ... there's a script called "WindowPad" that has a lot of configs and works really well.

@numo16: Last time I formatted my laptop, I put Win7 on it, only to discover that about 10 OEM features were no longer supported — such as dimming the LCD screen, special power management, and auto-rotation when in tablet mode.

@zyrmpg: Yeah, I don't know what I'm gonna do now, because I'm running XP at work and home!

@skrymir01: Plus I love the remote desktop! Don't use it all the time, but love it when I do.

@Prairie Moon: Well this tip lets you choose to run Work, Home, or whatever, but you choose by toggling the keyboard — so you can make your selection before Windows even loads. So you can walk away from your computer and it'll be ready when you come back.

@Beall49: AutoHotKey has easy access to keyboard info, lets you change settings, run apps, send keystrokes to the app once it's open, and much more. Its made for stuff like this. That's why we use it when we can!

The last part of the script is:

Thanks for posting my tip! But you forgot the last, most important part of the script!!!

@sweenish: EZTV is exactly that! Love it.

I have an Xbox 360, so I got a USB-to-wireless adapter for the PC for under $15 bucks! Now I've got 4 wireless PC controllers for all the emulators on my media center computer. I love it.

@onlysublime: I need the same thing! Xbox DDR pads on my 360. But I don't think it exists.

@DaFox: I did the same thing, except I spliced a USB extension cable to an Xbox extension cable, so that my controllers can be used on either. Works great!
