Rethinking the Recycle Bin by Yao Ziyuan
I just have some new thoughts about the handling of file deletion and undeletion in the 2010s. The key points a (1) ALMOST NEVER DELETE DATA PHYSICALLY. Today's new computers usually come with 500GB+ disk space, so deleting files to save space is less and less a necessity. So a new Recycle Bin concept could always preserve deleted files physically until there is really a space shortage or the...

Why is IE8 Soooooooo Awful??????? by GodZilla
Hi gang, Can anyone tell me why it is that, every single time I attempt to use Internet Explorer 8, it crashes! It opens very very slowly having double-clicked on the icon, I type in a search and within seconds of doing so I get a "Not Responding". Then I have to reset, restart, go into Safe Mode and restart. Fortunately I have done the sensible thing and adopted Google Chrome as my default...

Remove Internet Explorer??? by GodZilla
Hi gang, Does anyone know of any difficulties/problems when uninstalling/removing Internet Explorer? I have been using Google Chrome for the last few months and have found it much less problematic than using Internet Explorer. Chrome has a much more user friendly interface and does not seem to have as many security issues as Explorer. Nearly every time I attempt to surf using IE8, I get a 'Not...

Printer Driver for PagePro 1350w by UnixMonk
Does anyone have a driver for the Konica-Minolta PagePro 1350W for Vista 64 bit? I can get it to work on my wife's PC which is XP no problem. When her McAfee Security Center is running she can't share the Printer. And I can't find a driver that works for me.

Blocked Program by PeoplesChoice@Chicago.net
I have a program that's supposed to start when I boot into Windows (Vista Home Premium, SP2). However, I get a message that says it's blocked - so, I have to go in and unblock it manually. Is there any way I can set it so it unblocks (or doesn't block at all) by itself?

If it is, what is the EASIEST way to get back to where I was before it became corrupt? 3. Is there a way to un-corrupt...
