I started learning web design to support my efforts as a singer/songwriter. I'm still doing that, but these days my actual job involves building intranet resources as well. My skillset is PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript (I'm a big fan of jQuery).

Windows XP: Can I paste plain text by default? That is fine for MS Word but I'd like something that's system-wide. |

Move Windows XP to a new PC Good question. It should be noted that doing a clean install of the OS and moving over the files you want will generally make the new computer run faster, as you will leave behind any registry problems and such. But then you have to reinstall all the programs you want, etc. So migrating the whole OS would be faster. |

Windows XP: Can I paste plain text by default? Thanks for the suggestion. Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a way to change the default setting. Anyone know how? |

Paint.NET equivalent for Linux? Vector editing is great, but that's not what he's asking about - he wants to edit images. Inkscape is more analogous to Adobe Illustrator, while Paint.net is more like Photoshop. |

Ubuntu Linux: Can I paste plain text by default? @Stefan - yes, I know there is a special paste function. I listed that in my known workarounds when I asked the question. What I want is to change the default so that I don't have to specify each time that I don't want the formatting. I never want the formatting. It feels like saying "give me a hamburger, and leave out the chocolate sauce." If I wanted chocolate sauce, I would say so. Leaving it out should be the default. Or at least let me SET that as the default. Don't make me say "hold the chocolate sauce" every time I order. |

Ubuntu Linux: Can I paste plain text by default? @Stefan - specifically, I want the pasted text to share the formatting of the destination text, not the source text. |

Ubuntu Linux: Can I paste plain text by default? @Adriano - I AM confused. If the text were copied as plain text into memory, the formatting would have been removed before OpenOffice ever saw it, right? |

Ubuntu Linux: Can I paste plain text by default? I just tried that - copied from this question to OpenOffice. It pasted formatted text. |

Am I missing out on anything by sticking by Windows XP? "It wipes the floor with XP." How? Does it boot faster? Find files easier? Work with more hardware? Handle network connections better? Or does it just look pretty and you like that? |

Am I missing out on anything by sticking by Windows XP? Why upgrade? What specific features do you like? As the original question asks, what are you missing if you DON'T upgrade? "It's the way to go" doesn't answer that. |

Am I missing out on anything by sticking by Windows XP? This doesn't seem helpful. The question is "what am I missing if I don't upgrade?" This answer is "the new version isn't bad." OK, but neither is the old one. Does the Vista/Windows 7 have anything great that XP doesn't? |

Best way to sync firefox add-ons and bookmarks between machines @cletus - after 5 minutes sifting through Google results and finding some perfect reference info, it's nice to be able to hang on to it. |
