I am mostly a Linux and OSX user, but also have spent some time with Windows. I am by trade a programmer, but have been tinkering with computers since the 8 bit era.

Telnet to windows host backspace key wrong I meant terminal settings for the putty client to get normal behaviour from the default windows telnet server (normal meaning that backspace, cursor keys etc work by moving cursors and deleting characters visibly, and not deleting the prompt). |

Web browser is playing the video clips very quickly This can actually depend on the video, as some cannot be re-encoded for HTML 5 and will be using flash (I think this is more a licensing than tech problem). Right clicking the video widget should tell you what is being used. |

Should Windows 7 home premium have chgport? Hmm - seems like I may genuinely be missing it - although this makes no sense for a fresh install. Going to look around. |

How to get Windows XP to snap windows to desktop like Vista? Worth mentioning - that software is free, with CC by-nc-nd 3.0 - so you can install it anywhere, but not put it on a disk and sell it. |

Why is “Everything is a file” unique to the Unix operating systems? Plus 1 for mentioning plan 9. IMHO Fuse brings plan 9 closer to an implementation through ad-hoc and iteration. |

Can I save my Firefox tabs? I've forced myself into the habit of using a task list to add pages that I will want to read later, instead of leaving the tabs open. I try to close my browser at the end of each day. I say try - because I often still end up leaving stuff open over the weekend. |
