why does Virtualbox use 15-20% CPU when VM is paused?
I run VirtualBox 3.1 on Ubuntu with a Win XP guest. I have noticed to my surprise that when I pause the VM (its screen grays out) VirtualBox continues using 15-20% of the host's CPU.

Is there a way to make the login screen in Windows 7 look like the one in Windows XP, i.e boxes for: Username Password Domain I know this is a bit of a strange one, and trust me, I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to.

wget not converting links
I am trying to mirror a fairly large site (20,000+ pages) prior to a major overhaul.

The site is run on a CMS that I cannot easily extract usable data from, so…

Tools to (privately) annotate/markup a website for maintenance
I've been tasked with updating a website. Rather than proofreading and updating each page (one at a time), I want to make a single pass over the entire website, marking graphics/images/videos that need to be rewritten, removed, or updated. I thought about taking screenshots, marking those up, and p…
Word count excluding specific Styles?
I was wondering if there's a way to get a word count that excludes text with a specific Style in a Microsoft Word 2007 document?

Firefox or Chrome - how to force a specific encoding for a page
I am accessing an intranet site built by amateurs, that was constructed to be "best viewed by IE" (arghhh!). The site is in portuguese.

Is there a shortcut for switching between 2 open tabs back & forth?
