How do I mirror a monitor in Windows Vista?
I do not want to "extend" the desktop to the monitor, but I want the second monitor (a TV in this case) to be an exact copy of the main monitor.
I have an OpenOffice spreadsheet into which I occasionally copy/paste snippets from web pages. However, I need the file, as a whole, to be free of fancy formatting and non-ASCII text. Is tried highlighting cells and selecting "Default Formatting" but this still seems to keep extraneous characters even though it looks like normal text to the human eye.
If this is not possible, is there a way to at least reveal the "raw" data within a cell so that I can manually strip it?
Thanks,
Jeff
I want to search google or whatever the default search engine is set in the browser, by selecting a few words in the web page. Can I do this with a simple shortcut, instead of copy pasting the word in the search box and hitting enter?
I'd like to copy files from a network drive to a SharePoint site (perhaps as a mapped drive). What's a good client to do so? Obviously Windows (XP) Explorer is bad, I"m trying RichCopy at the moment. Any opinions on CoreFTP? Are there any recommended open-source WebDAV clients?

Any way to insert column break continously, so i just need to copy&paste the contents into the columns?

Is there a program which lets you easily get the x,y coordinates for your cursor?
Basically, I move my cursor to somewhere on my screen, it shows me the x,y coordinates and has an option to copy them to the clipboard or export them somehow.
I can already do this if I take a screenshot and open it in MS Paint, then as I move the mouse cursor over the screenshot it shows the coordinates in the status bar, however I have to manually write them down, hence its not convenient.
Using Excel 2010, I want a single formula to apply to all cells in a column.
I see documentation for a feature called "Calculated Columns". That is exactly what I want, but when I follow the instructions I only end up creating a formulate in a single cell - not the whole column.
I don't want to use "Fill" or "Copy" because the number or rows in the sheet changes periodically and maintaining the formulas would be very tedious.
There are several different free software gallery projects (Gallery, Coppermine, etc), but as far as I know each of those creates a copy of imported images in their internal storage, be it directory structure or database).
Is there any gallery software that would allow keeping existing directory hierarchy of media files (images, videos), as-is, and just store the meta-data of them in a database?
I guess at least various NAS solutions ship with software like this.
In command line, we have, for example, TAB, which autocomplete the commands.
In the GUI, we need just to select a text for Ubuntu to copy it. And the mouse middle button can be used to paste.
Which other "untold" secrets Ubuntu hides?
obs. I don't know which of the items I told are for any Linux or Ubuntu specific.
I'm trying to figure out the optimal size for a large copy from my hard drive using dd. I'm trying to figure out what the best blocksize to use it, which I would assume is the hardware block size for that drive.
I understand I'll need to re-install all the applications, but will upgrading from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64 bit) automatically format my hard drive removing out all my stuff? Or I'll just need to install all the appls but my files (like pictures and documents) will remain on that hard drive? (Trying to figure out if I really need to get 500GB spare space anywhere to copy my data temporarily to.)
Recently I have bought a second hand HP Notebook from a friend.
The PC still has the recovery partition not backed up yet. However, I'm thinking of resetting Windows using the new Windows 8 resetting feature.
Windows warned me that all files will be deleted.
Is it okay to reset Windows then backup the recovery partition in order to have a fresh backup or this can lead to losing the recovery partition and, with it, my genuine copy of Windows 8?
Hi,
I my office laptop running on XP, installation of Skype is blocked. Also I'm not able to download the software from internet.
So I downloaded the software from a different machine and tried copying it to my desktop. But during Copy, the software 'skype' got deleted from my pen drive itself.
How is this done.? And how can i get rid of this? Thanks in advance
Does Windows 8 support upgrading from a clean install. For example, buying the upgrade key and entering it on a clear install?
Or is it functionally necissary to have the version you are upgrading from installed on the computer.
The former was the case with Windows 7, but I recal Windows 2000 needed the an installed copy before an update would proceed.
I currently have a linux setup and I have the liceanse for Windows 7, but I don't want to have to downoad two 4 GB isos.
On my old XP machine I would simply copy short-cuts into the %userprofile%\SendTo folder.
On Windows-7 this folder is hidden, and I don't have access to it (which surprised me, it is MY SendTo folder after all).
Is there an "approved" way of adding to my Send To menu that I'm unaware of?
Or do I need extra permissions from our Sys Admin?
Thanks

Many extensions can translate selected texts. What if the text located within selection box? Meanwhile I can't translate the whole website because google translator says "Sorry, we are unable to translate the page you requested."
I can use firebug to explore html, copy the text to google translator and do translation. Wondering if there is such add-on for firefox to translate text from "non selectable" HTML elements.
Thx
Why is the background layer in Photoshop locked? I always have to create a copy and delete the original one.
Is there a setting to start a new project with unlocked background layer?
Thanks
When I make changes to files, I keep on finding myself "saving as" and adding the current date to the file. It slows me down, and it creates a bunch of files that clot my folder. I would prefer to be able to Right Click on a file from the File Explorer and select to save different versions of this file, so that each time I save it, it saves a copy somewhere, that I can access in the future if necessary.
Is there any application that achieves this?
I've upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion before. Now, I'm going to Mavericks.
I'm tired of downloading these big installers every time I have to use them. The installers are deleted after using them as far as my experience is concerned.
Where can I find these installers after downloading them from the App Store so that I can copy them and use them in the future? Looking up over the internet did not help.
The title says it all. I have my unsuccessful login attempts set to three. I purposefully fail logging in 2x, then when I SSH into the box successfully the 3rd time my count drops back to zero; exactly what should happen. But at the console I get failed login attempts EVEN for my successful login attempts. I am using RHEL 5.6 and no I am not able to upgrade. Here is my system-auth file:
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_tally.so onerr=fail deny=3 per_user
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_unix.so
account required pam_tally.so
account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
account required pam_permit.so
password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3
password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
session optional pam_keyinit.co revoke
session required pam_limits.so
session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session required pam_unix.so
I have tried adding reset after and in place of per_user in the
auth required pam_tally.so field. Nothing seems to work and I don't know why SSH is working just fine. Any ideas?
I have a zip of a pretty large website. I FTP the zip over to the server and then unzip it and extract to the website folder but this is very slow.
Is there anyway to just extract and copy the files that are newer (compared to all files)
Since Firefox 7 (or 6?) they silently removed "http" from the address bar. Previously, when you clicked it, "http" showed up again, allowing to easily just change http into https.
So far, I found two ways to get it back, but isn't there a setting I can use to have it permanently in vision again, or at least when I click it?
Way 1: copy selection and paste it again
Way 2: type the whole scheme again in front of the address
