How to make Outlook Calendar reminders stay on top in Windows 7
I'm just starting to use Windows 7 and I want to know how to make my Outlook reminders pop up and show themselves prominently. They keep opening discreetly, as just another window in the Outlook stack on the taskbar. As a result, I keep overlooking them because they pop up behind everything else. How do I make them less easy to overlook? (Clearly, one usually doesn't want obnoxious apps that push themselves to the forefront. But there are a few places where such behavior is desirable, and Outlook calendar reminders are one of them.)
How to pick a color from an image
How can I pick a color from an image? When I move the cursor to any particular point in the image, I want the hex code of the color at the cursor to be displayed. I would like to be able to do that with anything displayed on the screen even if it is not an Image, say I am working on any Windows application having various colors. Is there a way to do that?
logrotate configuration file syntax - multiple wildcard entries possible?
Since the man page doesn't answer my question and I don't want to force a rotation cycle, I decided to ask the question here. The man page for logrotate gives the following example: All examples with wildcards contain only a single entry. Now, what I'm interested in is whether this one is also allowed: Here's the reasoning: I have multiple vhosts and I split them up by the user that "owns" those vhosts. Since the log files are world-readable, I want to bind-mount a folder into the user home directory, but limit it to the log files that the user "owns", which is easiest achieved by separating the logs into folders (and bind-mounting requires that scheme anyway). So I'm looking for a solution to rotate both the log files under as well as all log files under subdirectories of that directory - without having to list each and every subdirectory by name. In general the man page gives no clue whether multiple entries are at all possible for wildcard rules or only for full paths. I'm using lo…

How to move VirtualBox files?
By default VirtualBox stores all data in a directory below the home directory. I know how to change it but how can I change the location of existing images (without editing VirtualBox.xml manually)? I'm working on Windows and don't want to try using any NTFS links.

Why should I use exFAT over NTFS on removable media?
So, basically I always format my removable mass storage devices as NTFS by default, but someone told me I was better off using exFAT. Now I've been looking around google, but can't find any good reasons why I should. Is there anything that exFAT does (better) which NTFS doesn't which is useful when using it for (>4GB) removable mass storage?

How do I make Notepad++ delete lines like Eclipse does?
Eclipse has a keyboard shortcut which deletes either the current line (if nothing is selected) or all lines which are part of the currently selected text: Ctrl+D. Is there a way to make Ctrl+D do the same thing in Notepad++? The best I could do is remap the shortcut to Scintilla's , but that only deletes one line at a time, even if the selection spans multiple lines.
What does the "Maximum Frequency" number mean in the Windows Resource Monitor?
In the Windows Resource Monitor's CPU tab, there is a status box and graph for the "Maximum Frequency", right next to the "CPU Usage" values. What does this mean? The value is sometimes over 100% on my system... what could that imply? By looking at CPU-z's real-time report of the processor's clock speed, it seems to be loosely related to what frequency the CPU is running at, which would imply that it means "percent of maximum possible frequency the CPU is running at"; this would be of relevance on systems with SpeedStep and/or TurboBoost technology (or similar). Furthermore, setting the system to "power saving mode" lowers the "maximum frequency" value to around 60%, while setting it to "high performance" mode sets it to around 110%. However, the percentage does not seem to exactly correlate to the CPU speed being shown. What value is this actually representing then?
Word: Disable spell checker for a paragraph?
Is it possible to disable the automatic spell checker in MS Word 2010 for single paragraphs of a document or just for some parts of a document?

Is there a way for one SSH config file to include another one?
In case it matters: OS: Ubuntu 10.04 SSH: OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu5 I'd like one SSH config file to include another one. The use case would be to define whatever I want in my default file and then pre-pend a couple of extra things in a separate file (e.g. ). I want the second file to incorporate the first one, though, so I don't have to duplicate everything in the first one. Is that doable? Thanks!
