I just realized... you got that screenshot from Wikipedia, and I uploaded it to Wikipedia like 4 years ago. The circle of (internet) life!

comment Using Adium (or iChat) with a GChat account that uses Single Sign-on (SSO)
Excellent question! This would be more suitable for our sister site Web Applications, so I'm going to migrate it there for you. My employer is about to move to Google Apps too, so I'm curious to see if there's a way to do this!

comment Does adblock really slow down your surfing speed?
Which ad blocker are you using? AdBlock Plus for Firefox should actually make pages load faster, not slower. It's odd that your "tuneup software" would recommend you install an adblocker... are you sure it's not some sort of malicious software?

comment how to dual boot onto 64GB SSD and 500GB HD?
@user9876 please do not tell people to post on other sites - this encourages people to double-post, which results in duplicates if the original is also migrated. Furthermore, in this case the question should not be moved in its present state, as it is overall low-quality. Before voting to migrate a question, you should ensure that it has been edited to meet quality standards. (For reference, I'm a moderator on SU. We get a lot of bad migrations.)

comment How to Block this Ad with AdBlock on Google Chrome Mac?
It's not a technical solution, but you could try emailing the site admins and telling them that you don't appreciate being sent popup ads as a paying customer, and they'll lose your business if they continue.

That's basically what I was looking for - just a description of which loop does what.

Hey Karan - good answer, but would you mind adding an little extra info about what the batch file is actually doing? Delayed expansion is confusing (even as someone who's used it before), and it would be great to have some explanation of what the logical flow of the program is.

Hi, welcome to Super User! Things work a bit differently here from how they are on traditional forums you might be used to. If your problem has been solved, you don't need to edit that into the title - just click the checkmark by the answer that solved your question, and it'll automatically accept that answer and mark your question as solved! You can learn more about how those types of things work here on the about page.

comment If I buy a computer with Windows 8 and Secure Boot, will I still be able to install Linux?
@keith the Latitude 10 actually has a low-powered Intel Atom processor, which while less powerful than a Core i5, is a "normal" x86 processor. As required by Microsoft's own guidelines, manufacturers must provide a way to disable secure boot on all x86 devices, which would include the Latitude 10. You cannot run Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro on ARM, only Windows RT.
