How to synchronise bookmarks between Google Chrome and Opera?
I use both Google Chrome as well as Opera. Is there any way by which I can "auto synchronise" the bookmarks between Chrome and Opera? By "auto synchronise", I mean whenever I bookmark a page in Chrome, it should also be bookmarked in Opera's bookmark list and vice versa.

XPS vs PDF. What's the status?
XPS, the PDF alternative, seems to be almost dead in the water. That said, Windows 7 offers a built-in XPS printer and viewer. I believe Vista also offers a built-in printer. XPS seems lighter than PDF, perhaps it only appears so because of Adobe's bloated reader, but that's for another discussion.…
"Task Manager" addon for Firefox?
Are there any addons for Firefox that can replicate the performance monitoring of Task Manager in Windows - seeing memory and CPU used - but for all the tabs in the current Firefox session? I want to be able to see which tabs are taking up the most memory or hitting the CPU the hardest.
Microsoft Word form - Preserving "lines" to type on instead of underscoring and underlining
We've got a form that somebody created in Microsoft Word 2007. As an example, it would look something like this: Name: ________________________________ Where the "line" is created by somebody typing in underscores. Now when somebody goes to type in their name, it ends up looking something like: Nam…
Linux: Share keyboard over network
As the title suggests, I want to use a remote keyboard locally. The remote keyboard should be usable in a TTY and, if possible, in the X-Server as well. Are there any drivers (kernel modules) emulating a "fake" keyboard with network transparency?

Create a logoff script/task for Linux
In similar vein to my question for Windows and Mac OS X, how would one go about creating a logoff script for Linux? Any distro is fine, as I'm sure it'd be extendable across others. I'm most familiar with RHEL/CentOS/Fedora and Ubuntu, though. addition If this exists for both a graphical login (ie …
Linux command to concatenate audio files and output them to ogg
What command-line tools do I need in order to concatenate several audio files and output them as one ogg (and/or mp3)? If you can provide the complete command to concatenate and output to ogg, that would be awesome. Edit: Input files (in my case, currently) are in format, but ideally it should be f…
Is there still any reason to prefer GIF over PNG when creating images for web pages?
Long ago, I used to avoid the PNG image format when building web pages because browser support was lacking. I remember having a PNG on a page could cause the QuickTime plugin to be loaded - yuck. Today, every modern browser now supports PNG well and I'm using it in my web pages because: Compared to…

I have an unfortunate situation following a vacation. The gist is this: 2 cameras, with Camera #1's clock being two days ahead of Camera #2.

Blocking hover ads
Okay, I am done with hover ads. I am so done with it, I am starting to avoid website which implement them even though I (used to) like those websites. Obviously, it is considerably harder to block hover ads than it is to block pop-up or pop-under ads. As far as I know, AdBlock does not stop them, s…

Creating Files/Folders With Nautilus in List View
When Nautilus is in list view (more like treeview) when I right-click on a Folder, there's no option to create a File/Folder. When I right-click on a file within the folder, it also gives no option to create anything. How do I create Files/Folders when viewing Nautilus in List View?
Saving filtered results from an Excel workbook to a CSV file
I have an Excel workbook with a lot of rows in it. I filter it using the values of one column and then I want to save the filtered results to a CSV file. When I do "Save as..." I get all the rows. I can copy paste the filtered results to another sheet and save from there but I'd rather not. It's Ex…
