[quote who="starkers" reply="49" id="2907578"] Me, I haven't been in Brisbane [out state capital] for almost 10 years, except once last week, and only then to attend a lawyer's appointment with my son's significant other half as moral support. Don't like big cities, myself, so I avoid them like the plague whenever possible.[/quote] I avoid lawyers like the plague whenever possible. Q: What happens when a lawyer takes Viagra?

The best you can do to make it look like one is to use the stretch over monitors feature in background settings. I have designed a few dreams of mine to work good this way since I use 2 monitors.

Reply to What do you think of Internet Explorer 9? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I loaded it up again today. The final version is a little nicer than the RC. There is one thing I still do not like, the favorites button is on the wrong side of the browser. I'm so used to it being in the top left that I now click on the add to favorites bar icon by mistake. I added so many sites to the favorites bar by mistake that I just turned it off.

If the calender was intended to tell you the best time to buy something to save the purchaser money, the best time to buy a boat is not right before boating season. The best time to get a deal and save some cash on a boat is during the fall season, not spring. This is especially true in buying from an individual instead of a boat dealer. I would think that if your in Australia, March would be a good time to buy one. Where is Lifehacker based at?

Reply to Malware Alert...System Tool 2011! RESOLVED in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Be very wary of Imageshack...I've had it try to install 3 times from the http://imageshack.us/ website so far. I'm savvy enough to keep it from installing...it would be very easy to make the mistake of letting it load, so be careful. The best way to avoid these type of attacts is to surf via Virtual PC and discard the changes to your session when closing.

Since I don't work for them, this is not a official Stardock answer, but it is a reliable one. 1. is there an activation limit? Yes to a degree. If you hit your limit, support will reset it for you. 2. do you have to pay each time it gets an update? No, if you buy the stand alone version of Windowblinds, you get free updates until the next number version release. It's currently at 7, the next version release will be 8. 3. will I be ab

c242, a lot of people think that they can say what they want on the Internet and there not be repercussions. This is far from the truth. You cannot go into a man’s home, talk shit about him in front of all his friends, and not expect to be shown the door. Once you realize this and understand your mistake, you will see that you owe him an apology.
