I often wish I could suppress the labels when viewing mail. Too often they take up so much of the subject line that I can't tell what the message is. Heck, even better than suppressing labels would be variable subject/sender lines.

The new version was nice and fast, but it doesn't support PermaTabs, and that's a deal breaker. It also doesn't support Quote URL Text or Mouse Gestures Redox. Sorry, I uninstalled 3.5 and went back to my old version of Firefox.

I live in Vermont and use Comcast Cable as my internet provider, but their "cable head" is in New Hampshire, so that's what shows up as my geolocation. It isn't a big problem unless I search for something like "Dentist" in which case it geotargets dentists around the cable head, and not in my home town, so I just need…

I'm a nerd about safety, and lists really play into that. I keep a "Go List" that details what documents and "things" I need to take with me in an emergency. It's ideal in case of a wild fire up here in Vermont, or perhaps a flood or an evacuation caused by the nuclear plant or something else (umm, for NY'ers that…

I've been using AOL since 1993 and have had a gMail account for a few years, but have been struggling with making the transition, primarily because of the loss of contacts and old mail. I began the process last week by painstakingly moving contact information by hand, and have already remastered more than 100 of my…

I drink about three 12-packs of Diet Coke a week, so that's something I stock up on. My target price is four for $10.00, and right now a local store (Shaw's) has a special at 5/$12, and two free packages of Deli Select lunch meat with purchase. There is a limit of one package deal per transaction, but I'll go through…

I'm a landline only guy. The landline is included in the rent, along with TV and broadband, all through the cable TV provider. Since all the services are packaged together and included in rent, it's a good value and serves my needs. If I move to a different living situation I'll probably go for cell phone only, rather…

The poor old computer that I bought in 2003 doesn't stand a chance (not enough RAM or hard drive space, and the graphics card won't even consider Aero), but almost every program is compatible. The only exception…Microsoft Interactive Training supplied with Office. That's so funny.

@Jason: That's my recollection too, except I had a camera back that put the date stamp (or any programmed data) between the frames so it wouldn't be on the picture. That was a handy feature, but really expensive. Still, the data was burned into the film itself and not on the back of the printer paper. As you noted,…

I've been in the client position in those kinds of conflicts. When I think something is weird, I've taken a bit of time to chat about it with another freelancer, preferably one who knows the contractor with whom I'm having an issue. You could probably do the same, that is, chat with another freelancer who has more…

Permatab

Does this extension maintain a list of sites I've visited, either on my hard drive or on a third party drive?

I couldn't read the TIME article either.

When I lost my job I just didn't want to talk about it at all. Sure for the first few days it was fine to have people ask me about it and offer suggestions, but after a week of that I wanted everybody to just leave me alone.

A list of three things leaves me stuck pretty quickly. I find those three things are often either waiting for a response from somebody else, or hit another roadblock. So, I have an ongoing list of all the things I want to accomplish with both long-term and shorter projects, and I highlight about three of those. That…

Sweet. This makes it easy to track back to the source material. The Lifehacker brief offers a keyboard shortcut to engage the extension, but fails to note that there is also a selection added to the right click context menu, so if you are not the keyboard type, you can copy from your mouse.

The one tab feature that I miss in the current Firefox is PermaTab, an extension that allowed the user to select a tab to remain available at all times. I used that for my mail client, but the extension isn't compatible with the newer versions of Firefox. If anybody reading this has the inclination, gosh would a new…

Terrific post, and great idea! My hand writing sukcs, and my spelling is worst(sic). So, I tend to write on the computer with the help of spell check, and then hand write the message, but gosh it still looks horrible. Yet, I don't want to use a computer to write a personal thank you note. The option of an old style…

@fanwoman:

I'm a big fan of the early voting process, and here in Vermont every one of those votes is counted.
