I've lost 16kg (35lbs) over the last year through eating less, eating healthily and jogging 5km every other day. I'm down to my target weight, but I've still got 1-2kg of flab on my stomach, so it looks like I need to start getting in shape - losing the flab whilst maintaining or increasing the...

What's the easiest workflow you've discovered for a two way sync to/from a usb stick, where the folder on the PC is not encrypted, but the usb stick is? From what I've looked at so far, it seems like a real pain. Thanks.

TLDR - Do Gantt charts help to focus on long-term tasks which don't tend to have an immediate impact? -- I've just had a kid, and along with a full time job that eats into my evenings and weekends, a wife, trying to learn a language, and attempting to get fit again, my old regime of four to six...

Anyone else have this problem? I can't force Win7 to use the fastest transfer method when I hook up my two laptops by CAT5 and leave my wifi on. I have to keep disabling wifi before starting the transfer, and then leave it off until the files have copied. I've tried: 1) adapter settings ->...

I just bought an Asus K93SV with an i5 CPU primarily for some video and music editing (ie. I want lots of RAM). It has four RAM slots, and by default it has one slot fitted with a 4Gb stick. The specs on the above page say: Memory- DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM, 4 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 16...

Has anyone used Windows Easy Transfer to migrate a user account and settings from an old computer to a new one? My old computer has about 200 programs installed so the account/registry is a bit bloated, and I only intend to install about a dozen of those programs on the new one. I'm interested...

Anyone using an Asus K93 SV? Link I tried one in the shop just now and it seemed kind-of sluggish. I thought the graphics chip might have been having a problem with the 18" full HD screen? Also, the screen looks extremely shiny? Other than that, it looks/feels like a good quality laptop. I...

I've started a project with a guy, and we want to be able to see each other's to-do lists online (to make sure we're both grinding through the work, and so that we meet certain deadlines together). I don't care what I use, but he uses a Mac and iCal for his calendar/lists at the moment (iCloud...

Bought an Acer S3 for someone a while back, which only has HDMI output. They now need to connect it regularly to a VGA projector for their job. Does anyone know if other manufacturer's adaptors work with the Acer? Specifically: HP Display adapter - 5 pin HD D-Sub (HD-5) - F 9 pin HDMI Type A -...

... brandishing a pellet gun, that police thought was real, inside a school, and you were surrounded by them, and they were pointing real guns at you, and they were telling you to put your 'weapon' down, what would you do? I probably wouldn't do what this guy did. Better off without this...

Has anyone ranked content using inboundwriter.com ? Any comments about this tool, particularly their scoring algorithm and relevant keyword list? Cheers.

I'm thinking of buying SEO Spyglass or something similar. But when Yahoo Site Explorer closes in Feb, will it render most of this kind of backlinking and keyword research software useless and obsolete? Is it a bad time to spend 100€ on something? Thanks.
