Multiple chrome.exe processes in Task Manager
I know that each new tab on Google Chrome have its own process, but I have 14 processes running actually as I can see it on the Task Manager, and only two tabs are opened on Google Chrome. Could it be due to Chrome extensions? What other reason can open more process and how to avoid it?

Should I use Evernote or Org-mode for taking notes?
I am looking for an app that will help me manage my notes, and after coming across Org-mode, I was wondering whether Org-mode's functionality is strong enough that it can remove the need for me to use another note taking app (because org is more of a task management app), such as Evernote. My wishe…
Binding Fn-Delete in zsh on Mac OS X
In zsh, whenever I press Fn+Delete (which is forward delete) a tilde (~) gets inserted. This indicates zsh doesn't have the key bound. How do I bind it, and make it behave normally (delete in front of the cursor)?
wget -o writes empty files on failure
If I write wget "no such address" -o "test.html" it first creates the test.html and in case of failure, leaves it empty. However, when not using -o, it will wait to see if the download succeeds and only after that, it'll write the file. I'd like the latter behavior to be applied to -o too, is it po…
How can I use newline with the Find-And-Replace in Visual Studio?
I've become rather fond of the "Find-And-Replace" function in Visual Studio. The function lets me replace phrases, words, symbols, or whatever you can type into the textbox on the screen. How can I make it replace a character with a newline?

What does this cryptic Bash command mean?
I was reading Ubuntu Forum's warning about malicious commands and found this interesting gem: WARNING: The above code will crash your machine unless you have strict proc limits in place (which you probably don't) prompting a hard restart.

How to "debug" a keyboard in Linux? Like pressing a key and seeing a code in a terminal
I didn't have an answer to my problem about adding additional keyboards in my Ubuntu 10.04. Questions mark is not working in my keyboard, only using Alt Gr key + W. So, I don't know if this is a problem with Ubuntu or Virtualbox itself (I'm running it inside a VM). It's an usb keyboard. HP KU-0316.…
Application-specific default keyboard layout in Mac OS X
I know how to change the keyboard layout in general, but I want certain applications to always open with a specific layout, not the same for all of them. For example, I'd like Firefox to open with a Spanish layout, but Mathematica with a US layout. How can I do this? I'm using Snow Leopard

Best practice for Windows PATH/environment variables managing?
Right now, it's such a mess. Every time I install a new program that does something trivial in the command line, I have to add it to the path. In fact, I'm developing on Ruby and even gems (plugins/extensions) sometimes have their own executables, and are stored in different folders and I end up ha…

I'm using VirtualBox hosted on Windows 7 and the physical hard drive that one of my VM's VDI file was on got completely borked and no longer exists. The problem is that now I can delete neither virtual hard drive nor VM since the attempt to delete the VDI file gives me an error stating that Virtual…
Fix bad blocks on Mac hard disk
I have a hard disk that I scanned with TechTool and it reports one bad block. As far as I can tell, TechTool only scans and reports a failure. It doesn't fix anything. Back in the day, Norton Disk Doctor did the job of scanning and flagging (remapping) bad blocks on the Mac. Today we have various t…
Hibernate is disabled, hiberfil.sys gets recreated at each boot
I have Windows 7 running on a small (40GB) partition, with 4GB ram. This means that the hiberfil.sys file created by Hibernate takes up a significant portion of the available diskspace. I would like to remove it. I am aware that I can disable Hibernate and remove hiberfil.sys by entering in an elev…

I want to change the format of the "Date"-column in the message list in Thunderbird. For mails from today, I want to display only the time, not the date. For mails from before today, I want to display only the date, not the time. This is the same setup mutt uses. I know of the Date display format w…
