It's Springtime. Get yourself out there and fall in love.

It ain't for lack of trying.

here it is snowing. "Does this parka suite my bottom?"

I forgot my own words:

... make this thread devoted to (harmless) cute jokes.

-so even though .merle1 have commented it, I have deleted the original content of this post; it was not harmless, not even cute.

My girly friend demands that I add Casablanca, and I agree.

I don't know if this Norwegian one ever crossed the Atlantic, but it surely was a major hit around here:
Pinchcliffe Grand Prix. The movie was made in 3½ years by approx 5-6 people, but became cult and was shown in cinemas (mainly in Norway, Moscow and Tokyo) every day of the week for 28 years (1975-2003)! In 2005 a new, digitally restored DVD was released which featured soundtracks and subtitles in 5 languages including English - read the creator's homepage: http://www.caprino.no/start/en/default.asp. I was, no, I AM a big fan (see >evidence<) of the included Il Tempo Gigante, the fastest and most advanced car ever made (take that, Bugatti!).

Here is a shortened first part, but be warned:

[The Gods Must Be Crazy]

The first and original The Gods Must Be Crazy movie. Yes, it became a series of films, but the others didn't have quite the same unpretending innocence as the first one (edit: in fact, the series was not even funny but plain silly, compared to the original's humorous wisdom). Wonderful ♥

forgive me for grabbing this theory out of my pocket: Some people are using too much time on their computers, so they don't have any or at best only a few real world friends, and therefor don't have Skype Premium! The other people have very little time to play around with computers, but have Skype Premium because of their real world friends! These people have seldom even heard of Google+ Hangouts.

and who can argue with a Super Honorary Charter Member...

JoTo, I didn't even know your title existed, but I adore it ♥

For (most) private people (me!) ReImage is much too expensive!  

I tested the program's initial scanner, wrote the above post, and clicked Uninstall. I was then asked why I wanted to do this, so I clicked that I couldn't afford the price, and even gave my name and email address. To my surprise I was offered to have the program at €26,95 Hmm... "ReImage is now half too expensive"... well, you've already guessed it: I took the offer!

The repair took less than an hour, and a reboot.
Did it work? Yes! The error that worried me, has gone!

Edit: This was on Win 7 Home Premium.  
I am saving the above mentioned Win 8 Pro disk for later.

[con20]

The normal price is $70 / €53 for a year,

Now with a 20% discount.
To redeem this amazing offer please use this coupon code: con20
Yearly Unlimited $55.96
Yearly for 3 PC's $79.96

If it does all these jobs it says, for a small office that is not a bad idea. but it's not that far from win7 upgrade price, no?

The con20 discount is plus VAT, making it €54 => $75 all the same.   
I am not a small office, so I purchased Win 8 Pro for $35 instead.

but if I alttab to the desktop from FF, then alttab again, FF is again at the end of the list/row,

-but always with the desktop as the last last "at the end", right? It is, on my screen.

[Win+Tab]

info: Win+Tab if you prefer the larger flip view
Alt+Esc if the desktop is not to be included.


Very often the easiest way for me is to click the icon C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch > Window Switcher, because the desktop then is merely one scroll backwards.

---------
hmm... because of the European winter storms today I have had quite a few problems with lack of Internet connections.

  thanks, Tom, that was funny! I have never played with Alt+Tab or Window Switcher before. But no matter how I did, DT came last. So if the way exist, it surely must be via some third party application. Maybe one way could be to use numbers - Switcher ( http://www.guidingtech.co...dows-alt-tab-alternative/ ) worked like that. One related problem is of course that many third party apps doesn't include the desktop (search "alternative to alt+tab")! But other than that, this is yet another (funny) area of which I know nothing ;-)

But if you not are okay with that, the last "clean" version (1.5.1) can be found (only) at https://addons.mozilla.or...ons/?page=1#version-1.5.1

sorry I posted too early, but I had lost track of time and my movie was suddenly beginning. What I was thinking, when the television commercials were showing and giving me time to think about this thread, was, that the reviews were suspicious - but I kept looking at the clock and decided I didn't have the time tonight to investigate any further. But right now I will not be surprised if none of the praising reviewers exist.

But you can still have a free key tonight, ehh... I assume! I haven't tried. I don't want it.

Did any of you ever test the program?  
Did you know that MagicRAR is a Microsoft BizSpark startup company?

If you want to test the program, you can have a free license key now, right "now":

[Giveaway] MagicRAR 8.5 The Next-Generation Archiver for Windows FREE for 1 Week

I pretty much gave up on all those vid-downloaders, they work for a while until youtube (and others) changes things, or they're loaded with adware.

  Now I use VideoCacheView.  Now I don't have to download the same video twice, first time watching it, second time downloading it.  With VideoCacheView, you watch all the movies you want, then run VideoCacheView, select the vids that you want to keep, and it copies them to the folder you choose.

I both agree and disagree. Many videos are available in much higher resolution than the auto-played one, especially if it was on facebook. So, as an example, I watch a 640 pixels version, but want to keep the 1920 pixels version - which is not in the cache.

** Curt, in the video for AWC it shows the following hotkey options: it's not clear if there's any more. Could you let me know if there are?

-I couldn't say! My stand has been that if I need the hotkeys, I have not chosen the right wallpapers. ;-) But your question made me first search the AWC forum and then realize that it really has been quite a while since anything happened; I am not too sure the program even is maintained anymore! If he is preparing for version 5 or something entirely else, I cannot know, but I guess it would be best not to make a purchase right now.

Sometimes I get lazy and don't want to reach for the home key on the keyboard.  I would rather use my mouse to go to top page of a site without scrolling with the mouse.

I am running Waterfox, so my home key does almost nothing. I have never before been wanting to use mouse gestures, but Waterfox is making it a necessity. However, merely looking at All-in-one Gestures made me tired; I want two features, not a hundred and seventeen! Sorry, skwire, I can't take this much fun, when browsing. So instead I went for this:
