I searched to see if this had already been requested and didn't see it. Basically something to notify the user that all startup programs have been completed (or started). This would allow people with a lot of startup programs (everybody?) to know when they can really start using their computer after bootup. There could be a popup that says "All startup programs have been initiated" with a timeout or maybe a tray icon that shows yellow while programs are starting and green when they are complete (or all started).-domfair (April 24, 2008, 11:00 AM)
have you tried URL Snooper? btw, i presume that the HD stands for "hard-disk" not "high definition".No, I did not try it, because their interface looks so elaborate that I doubt I will get some kind of result I can do anything with...-lanux128 (April 16, 2008, 11:19 AM)

if you're going around glowing with "happiness" all the time - I dunno-tomos (April 15, 2008, 02:49 PM)
Is your workspace a complex but personal jumble of information, data, and stuff? Is your home a comfortable space that has some black holes of organization? Then you may be on the track to greater productivity, creativity, and happiness, according to the authors. Reader David Freedman makes this a friendly listen as the authors reveal such details as the possibility that the discovery of penicillin would not have occurred if the lab had not been a mess.
If you believe that being very organized is always best, you will be shocked when you read this book. You'll discover that there is little to no research proving that you save time by plannig your day, but that there is extensive research showing that you can lose a lot of time by over-planning your day.
I do, though, like most people in the west, own too much stuff. I dont mean I am a packrat - I'm atually quite good at getting rid of stuff. I dont mean I am anything like those people on TV, house looks nice and tidy, not cluttered. But I still have a lot more stuff than I need. So much stuff it weighs me down, so I have started clearing down.-iphigenie (April 09, 2008, 08:30 AM)
I did read a book a day for a while and as a result I own 1500 books (counting cookbooks and comics and stuff). That is not a collection to me because I do not seek any kind of coverage or completeness or topic or anything-iphigenie (April 09, 2008, 08:30 AM)
Knives are natural collector items, given the art (and tech) that goes into them. I've known some custom designers who have spent a year making one knife! I also knew a guy who collected everything that Apple ever sold. He had a high-paying job and could afford it, but his house was useless because he had entire rooms filled from floor to ceiling with Apple hardware devices. What a waste of cash.Err, yeah, I wouldn't do that. On the other hand: if everyone would stop wasting cash, whole economies and industries would collapse.-zridling (April 09, 2008, 07:15 AM)
What a difficult thing to calculate . . . where's the "I don't know" option?If it stresses you, calculate it into your vote.-allen (April 05, 2008, 03:47 PM)
BrotherS, I had cancer when I was a younger man. So I know from my own experience.
What I was saying that %90 of people on earth have alot of reasons to be happy or emotionally steady during a day. Happiness is one of the feelings humans experience. We do have more complex emotions that cannot be explained as just simple happiness.
I am generally against the idea of pursuing happiness as a goal of life. Because most end up as dumb consumers during that path.-kartal (April 04, 2008, 02:56 PM)
Happiness should not be the purpose of life. To me one can be happy without being happy really.-kartal (April 04, 2008, 12:35 PM)
Being thankful can make everyone happy in life unless you suffer from serious health conditions where being thankful is not enough anymore. So i am at %100 constantly-kartal (April 04, 2008, 12:35 PM)
being 100% happy might be like getting a perfect score when playing a videogame on beginner setting.. solution is to hit the Reset switch and start over on "Normal" difficulty level-mouser (April 04, 2008, 12:41 PM)
Digital cameras have powers beyond what is immediately available to the user. On a standard Canon, for example, the fastest shutter speed option offered is 1/1,600 second, but the hardware can handle much more than that -- up to 1/60,000 of a second.
CHDK, the Canon Hacker's Development Kit, is an open-source software project that can be loaded on cameras using Canon's DIGIC II or DIGIC III firmware platforms. [...]
