comment Problem with Razer DeathAdder 2013
Flame stripes don't make a generic computer peripheral a gaming device. This is a question for Super User if anything, and better yet Razer support. Voting to close.

comment Windows 8 / IE 10 DNT feature
@Karan don't forget Ghostery. There are plenty of trackers that aren't tied to advertisements. Hell, some of the companies that track your behavior across the web also happen to develop browsers or have all your social networking information (I'm sure you can figure out which companies I mean ;).

comment How to make Opera display full zoomed-out thumbnails like it used to?
@aaamos looks like Ghostery was the culprit. Lesson of the day: just because something shouldn't affect something doesn't mean it won't. Thanks for the help.

comment How to make Opera display full zoomed-out thumbnails like it used to?
@aaamos the problem isn't that they don't reload, but that they seemingly randomly switch between modes 1 and 2 as seen in the screenshot. I'll try with a fresh installation.

comment How to make Opera display full zoomed-out thumbnails like it used to?
@aaamos you're right, it does appear to work, though it doesn't solve my problem - I need them to be reloaded regularly. I'll update the question.

Pretty sure deleting the recovery partition is incidental to the problem.

Reading is copying.

comment Copy the content of an element by its class or id in the browser?
@Lamb httrack seems a bit overkill. How many clicks does Firebug need to go from a page to an element's content in my clipboard?

comment Switching tabs with the mouse wheel
@AlEverett that sounds useful, but doesn't seem to work for me. Do I need to enable it somehow?

comment Is it normal that DRAM frequency changes frequently?
520W is plenty, especially if you don't have a GPU.

Thanks, but I'd rather avoid installing spyware.

comment Why does Windows 7 use the page file when there's free physical RAM?
Having more than 8GB of RAM will not increase performance in 99.(9)% of cases. Have you stuffed your mobo full of cheap low frequency/high latency RAM chips? Replacing them would be a better idea than adding more.

comment Removing “Transfer To…” and “Show Converted Files” from uTorrent's context menu
Uh, no, there would be only 1 interface, the list. I also doubt 20 integers would add all that much to the half-megabyte settings.dat file uTorrent uses.

comment Removing “Transfer To…” and “Show Converted Files” from uTorrent's context menu
What I was thinking is a list where you can enable/disable and reorder context menu items, that shouldn't be too bloatey. I stopped at 2.2.1 BTW, at least before version 3 the bloat could be made invisible.

Arguably, the two options are the real bloat, for me at least, and I'm willing to bet for a majority of other users too.

We're all ears if you know how to get a $3000 PC for $300.
