First note: It might be a better idea to watch movies at the cinema. Not for the quality of the video or sound, but for your experience of going to the cinema, the people you’re with, the people around you. Second note: I’m not an expert in computer software for movies. I’ll share my experience. The best program to watch a movie – BS Player. If you want to watch part of the movie, do something else, continue viewing, BS Player has the single most useful thing to me – resume where I left off. It’s got a very good search for subtitles. You set the language (EN / RO / whatever), and the software can automatically look for subtitles for the movies which don’t start with one already. Even if the movie has a subtitle, it can still search for new ones. It’s very good at scrolling through the movie, either with clicking at the desired destination, or using keys. It has simple keys (if you know the keys of WinAmp, you’ll do fine – XCVB. F for full-screen, Space for play/pause). It has simple to understand menus. As a setting, in Romanian, I like to set the subtitle font for Central European, which has diacritics – ș, ț, ă, â, î. I watch the movies in sequences, not the whole movie at a time, so I like to set the default movie to another player (VLC, Media Player Classic). I like BS Player better, but the function for continuing the movie where I …

Some things to add: Reading is nothing without reflection. If you only get stuff in, you don’t go through the necessary processes to do change. Some people advise others, for this, to stop and think (1) and put into practice what you read (2). I advise another thing – teach others. Give presentations with what you learn. Even better, write. Keep a blog. Make it public, if it makes you any better. More on this – Writing Is Thinking · An A List Apart Article. Will Smith says if you are hurt when you run, you should keep running, and this is why running is good. I’m thinking more in health terms – do sports, do any sports, keep doing that sport. At times, even if it mildly hurts, but don’t overdo it, and always ask for an external, proper, opinion on this.
Sometimes, I install Windows-es. They’re all sort of them – XP, 7, 8, different service packs for each of them, x64 and x86. Windows 7 with SP1 on x64 is a different thing than Windows 7 on x86 with no SP. Some programs work, some don’t. The thing is, you can’t predict things easily. You install Last FM and don’t know if it will work, and if it will work correctly. Again, the thing is lots of programs are not installed right away with Windows. So, you install Windows, you install the other software and, surprise!, after a month of usage you discover you need some other programs. And these don’t work. I don’t have a clear solution to this. I just wanted to clarify some things.
In marriage, you first go through engagement. Even engagement starts after meeting someone. All these meetings generally start with the first date. The first date starts from doing something which gets a positive emotion. You see, in all these steps: The first emotion – the first date – the following dates – the engagement – perhaps moving in together – marriage – children. People first take a taste. A sample. They see how it’s like. I think this is mostly a productivity reason – prior to making the big step, you take a small step and see how it’s like. Prior to making the perfect situation, you make a not-so-perfect and try to perfect it. In day-to-day processes this could mean, instead of hiring someone with a 3 years contract, you have a trial of three months. Instead of signing a big contract, sign a small one first. Instead of doing it all at once, do it in small steps. You want to build a PC from scratch? How about, prior to buying all the pieces and then seeing what it’s like, you first watch an YouTube video with this? You want to build a house? How about you first get an idea of what construction is by helping a friend doing home improvement, to get a taste of the process? Some things can’t be tested. You can’t test how it’s like to fly a plane. You can have an idea, but for the process itself you just need to do it. You can’t „partially” …

You may try first automatic repair. If not, try to boot: Press and hold the power button until the tablet turns off. Press and hold the following buttons (in sequence) to boot into the BIOS: Power button > Volume Up > Voume Down. When done correctly, it will show you the BIOS screen. But instead of booting from a „real” Windows bootable CD, you need either: A repair disk provided by Lenovo (you need to contact Customer Support for this, but I failed in getting a CD from them). A repair disk made previously in Windows 8, by following these steps (you should do this as a pre-emptive measure).
I was going through some memories in school, and I thought of the following – what’s the ratio between costs & benefits of doing: A group photo at the beginning / end of the school year / work year, given directly at the opening / end of that year. A photo with the participants at an event, be it low profile (a meeting in town with friends), or high profile (school banquet, Christmas party, New Year party, birthday, wedding, baptism). To me, the cost & effort is rather low, but the benefits are large. Also, it’s important that the memory is physical (on paper, in my hands). Sure, digital is fine, also, but physical is much better. There are options.

Gmail has a nice feature: You can delegate access to your Gmail to another person so they can read, send, and delete messages on your behalf. For example, you can delegate e-mail rights to an admin in your organization, or you could delegate your personal email access to your spouse. The delegate can also access the other person’s contacts by clicking the Contacts link. Clicking the To,Cc, or Bcc links in the mail compose window will also bring up your contacts. You won’t be able to give anyone permission to change your account password or account settings, or chat on your behalf. You can specify up to 10 users. Google Apps for Business, Education, and Government customers can specify up to 25 users. (source & details) What happens when you get to 10 emails for which you have access? You can’t add other ones anymore. How to solve this? Let’s say that emails 1@gmail.com, 2@gmail.com, 3@gmail.com … 10@gmail.com all give access to defaultemail@gmail.com. If you want to add 11@gmail.com, you can’t. The solution is to login as 1@gmail.com (or any other one in that list) and go to Settings => Accounts, and in there remove the granted access. In this way, you will be able to add 11@gmail.com, replacing the missing address. Unlike granting access, which takes a while to process, removing the granted access is instantly done.
