Living Room / how to crop pdf

« Last post by kalos on December 27, 2014, 03:49 PM »

hello!

you know when you save powerpoint slides in word.doc file?

it saves each slide in two columns, or at least this is how they did at these files I got

and the files are in pdf

what I want is to have each of these slides in seperate page or file

in other words I want to crop them and save them seperately, but ofcourse in the correct order!

is there any way to do it fast, as it's 45 pages of approx 6 slides in each page?

thanks!

You can add the "Change View" button to the "Quick Access Toolbar" which would make this a two-click operation.  I don't think there is a way to add a discrete button for that type of action.  Here's a screenshot of it added to the "Quick Access Toolbar":

Please answer my question: In Outlook, can this be done, currently, via some other method like a hotkey or menu item?

-skwire (December 23, 2014, 08:48 AM)

I was searching for that and can't find any way really! maybe someone else know better?

a button is the most convenient, as it's immediately accessible
just like in Thunderbird, but I need it in Outlook (not Office Online)

no you misunderstood

I don't want a button to mark selected emails as read/unread

I want a button that will display only unread emails or all emails (toggle) in the email list view

No because there will be already a diet pill!!!  

-kalos (December 20, 2014, 11:33 AM)

No there won't. There is too much money in selling crackpot weight loss products and questionably effective workout equipment for anyone who actually does succeed in producing the miracle weight loss product to actually get anywhere.

Also the body is far too varied. What works for some people does nothing for others, that's why most of the weight loss pills out there are so hilariously ineffective outside of an isolated handful of people that were in the test group.

And not only do those droids fetch groceries for you to enjoy in a savory roasted salad with pineapple ham glaze because the computer tried to turn what you ordered into a diet version and produced a mangled mess, but they also bring back your utility bills and the lease invoice for that equipment which is slowly but surely bankrupting you and forcing you to live on fast food.

Perhaps at some point in the future when we can take a line from Star Trek and accurately replicate a thanksgiving feast we could enjoy such benefits, but the way things stand right now we are headed straight for a dystopia and the luxuries of technology people dream about will be the death of our species.

« Last post by kalos on December 20, 2014, 08:54 AM »

hello!

further to my previous thread about "internet of things", I would like to discuss ideas about how future life could be and I am always interested in novel ideas from you

imagine you are at 10am at work
and an idea crosses your mind, to have succulent roasted pork with chips for lunch/dinner
you call your home system and say "roasted pork with chips for two at 6pm" (because you will be a bit late from work
your home system will start ordering the necessary from the warehouse and prepare the dish, so that it will wait you at 6pm fresh and warm!
sensors and robotic arms will follow the recipe exactly, so they will make the perfect dish every time!
or maybe you can download from the net a traditional recipe you found from a village in Czechia! it will be compatible with your home system!
ofcourse it will do the dishes afterwards, pay your bills, etc!
you will call your driveless car to move out of the parking and wait you at your job's door and drive you home without hassle! it will leave you infront of your door, because it's raining and it will go find a parking and park itself!
imagine all the time and effort you spend do the shopping, cook, etc!
it will be now yours to spend it with your family!

Living Room / looking for an adapter

« Last post by kalos on December 17, 2014, 01:33 PM »

hello!

the power cable that goes into my laptop is straight and because the slot for it is at the right of my laptop, it interferes with me moving my mouse

so, I am looking for an adapter that will have the shape of Γ so that I will be able to connect it without that annoyance

is there any?

the plug is a hollow rectangular, a bit larger than usb, with a single pin in it

thanks!

General Software Discussion / autocorrect

« Last post by kalos on November 27, 2014, 11:32 AM »

hello

IE or MS Office have strong autocorrect of common spelling mistakes

they somehow identify which word you want to write, evne if yu wirte lkie tish

but I want it to work in every text I type anywhere

is there a good solution?

I am not looking for a program that will autoreplace common specific spelling mistakes from a library, because my spelling mistake may not be included in the library

I would like something, maybe with artificial intelligence or something, that will detect the correct thing I want to say

thanks

hello

is there a reliable, easy to use, secure way to snip an ebay auction?

set it to place a specific bid, specific seconds before end?

I found some, but they ask me for my ebay login info! isn't this dubious?

if it is free, that would be best!

thanks!

Did you restart your PC after the re-install, or at least re-open that CLI? If not then retry that first.

yes now it works! thanks!
and I thought with Windows 8.1, we had eliminate the need to reboot!
