Geek to Live: Tech support with UltraVNC SingleClick - Lifehacke I have been doing this for the past two years, and I can atest that, 1. It's a lifesaver, 2. 3. So my takes on the subject are: Get a dynamic DNS provider (dyndns works fine and has embedded clients on most routers [WRT54G here] or if you are out of luck, at least multiplatform clients for *nix and Windows) Serve the package yourself. Keep in mind that you *will* be saying your dyndns and port number over the phone to computer semi-literates, so try to make it something easy to understand/spell :)

Three Ways to Cut, Mix, & Mash YouTube Videos This post was inspired by a request from a reader for a tool that can be used to mash-up YouTube clips. YouTube is full of great content that can be useful in the classroom (YouTube is also full of nonsense that causes schools to block it). Sometimes you only need to show a part of a video to illustrate a point. Disclaimer: Some of these tools might be interpreted as a violation of YouTube's terms of service. TubeChop gives you the ability to clip a section from any YouTube video and share it. Splicd is a service that lets users select and share a segment of a YouTube video. If you made mix tapes in the 80's, the concept of Drag On Tape will be familiar to you. On a related note, if you have raw video footage that you want to edit or you have a collection of your own videos on YouTube that you want to edit, the YouTube video editor is quite easy to use.
20 registry hacks to make your PC more awesome Right-clicking on everything is a good way to learn about hidden Windows functionality. Exploring the lesser-known Control Panel applets is another useful technique, and browsing the command line applications in Windows' System32 folder can be interesting. But let's be realistic. There's nothing that quite compares to the Registry. It's packed with useful settings that can improve performance, fix security holes and change even the most fundamental Windows behaviour for the better. If you're not cautious, you could cause more problems than you solve. 1. If strangers have physical access to your PC, it's easy for them to plug in a USB flash drive and make copies of your data. Go to 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies', create a DWORD value called 'WriteProtect' and set it to 1. 2. Windows Vista's User Account Control raises so many alerts that many people just turn it off. 3. 4. Sorting filenames in Explorer can be a problem. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
