comment Is it safe to use a 10-Port USB Hub in a laptop?
I agree. With 10 ports, I rather have it externally powered than worry about current requirements.

comment Stop Windows 8 from converting wallpapers to low quality JPGs
Why do you think Windows "jpg"-ify images? It can use png and gif without conversion. But it needs to scale it down to fit the screen if you select "Fit". You are bound to get artifacts with any scale down; if you want perfection, do the rescaling yourself because you can't expect Windows to read your mind or know what you personally think is perfection.

This is absolutely not true. I have this issue despite always having UAC enabled.

comment How to get same resolution with 2 monitors
Install the correct driver (or updated driver) for your 2nd monitor at Benq's website. The problem is most likelyy the "Generic monitor" setting.

comment Visio alternatives
SmartDraw 2012 is nearly $200 USD. Not only a close match to Visio but close match in price.

comment Visio alternatives
yEd design is flawed! You can't even create more than 1 line connector originating from a joint on a node. Trying to create a free standing line is painful. I absolutely do not recommend yEd.

comment Safest snapshot of a failing harddrive?
When the hard drive starts running again (and hence heat up), wouldn't water condense on it?

comment Run X app without a window
Arbitrary app? I don't think so. Maybe kill the X server but then some apps will exit because it is considered (and justifiably so) an unrecoverable error. Why can't you just minimize the window?

Won't work if the user decides to use * . * instead of just *. But still a neat trick.
