<description>&#60;p&#62;I've been searching for a decent site or article to help me out but so far everything is either 100% pro-Mac or 100% anti-Mac, so I need some advice.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I need to buy a new laptop ready to start my PhD study in October and was thinking about getting a Macbook, but the cost is scaring me away. Can anyone offer suggestions on whether or not it's worth investing in one over just a regular laptop? Really, the sole purpose of it will be to keep my research work and my personal life separate (I already have a PC for that).

<description>&#60;p&#62;i do believe that all routers has the same range of wireless signal and basically they work on the same principle the difference the few added features of routers so i would advise choose the router that has features that you actually would make much easier for you.

<description>&#60;p&#62;You can use your browser to save pages as HTML, than open that HTML with an office suite like MS Word 2007(not free) or OpenOffice Writer(free), add/remove unwanted pictures/text and save as PDF. This probably wont keep the page numbers but &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A second (not as successful) solution you can consider: you can use novaPDF 'print' articles to PDFs and use Nitro PDF to extract text/images.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hello All&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here is my dilemma. I like reading articles on the net and wish to buy an ebook someday. I was thinking of converting all those articles into .pdf format for future reference. I have tried a few but none seem to do the job well, formatting wise. What program can&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;a) retain the original look of the page?&#60;br /&#62;
b) allow me to edit and remove unwanted pictures, texts and links?&#60;br /&#62;
c) have dates, original sites and page numbers added?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope to hear from anyone and everyone!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thx

&#60;p&#62;As for programs:&#60;br /&#62;
I'm using the &#60;a href=&#34;http://kaelri.deviantart.com/art/Enigma-for-Launchy-140641113&#34;&#62;Enigma skin&#60;/a&#62; for &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.launchy.net&#34;&#62;Launchy&#60;/a&#62;, and the &#60;a href=&#34;http://customize.org/rainlendar/skins/63524&#34;&#62;Statica EN skin&#60;/a&#62; for &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php&#34;&#62;Rainlendar&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;br /&#62;
Running happily and silently in the background is my own &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.autohotkey.com/&#34;&#62;AutoHotkey&#60;/a&#62; script.&#60;br /&#62;
I'm using a cutom &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.cdartdisplay.com/&#34;&#62;CD Art Display&#60;/a&#62; skin, that I based on the default skin.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've chosen &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.samurize.com&#34;&#62;Samurize&#60;/a&#62; over Rainmeter, because for me, putting together a good-looking Samurize config is relatively easy, and I like being able to dock my config. No love lost for Rainmeter, however, I just prefer Samurize.&#60;br /&#62;
I've created a series of custom configs for it. The main one is the bar visible in the top screenshot. It displays some basic info, including system and network info, as well as weather. It also has a few buttons on the right for various folders and other actions. The inovative part of this desktop, however, are the expanded sections in the second screenshot. Sitting in a hidden folder on the desktop are a series of shortcuts and small AutoHotkey scripts, which allow me to click parts of the main bar config, and open the smaller configs pictured above. For instance, clicking the System section of the bar opens a small window that displays the used space on 3 drives, more information about my memory and CPU usage, as well as uptime and processes. Down at the other end, clicking the bookmark icon opens a small menu of bookmarks, etc.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As a result, I have a very simplistic desktop, but with a click or two can access any information I need about my system, or the world around me.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;PS: Yes, that is an apocalypse countdown clock on the bar. XD

<description>&#60;p&#62;Using the code to pause windows media player from my tip at lifehacker, &#60;a href=&#34;http://lifehacker.com/comment/22326726/&#34;&#62;Universal shortcuts to windows media player&#60;/a&#62; , you can have something like:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;SetTimer, IdlePause, 10000 ; checks every 10 seconds
return

IdlePause:

If A_TimeIdlePhysical &#38;gt; 300 ; if idle time is greater than 5 minutes
  PostMessage, 0x111, 18809, 0, ,Windows Media Player ; Stop Playing Track&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There other things you can do also. you can only mute the player by replacing the last line with:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;PostMessage, 0x111, 18817, 0, ,Windows Media Player ; Volume Mute&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;A little script, you'll have to customize it for your own music player.&#60;br /&#62;
For 5 minutes, if inactive, it'll stop the process.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;#singleinstance force
SetTimer IdleChk,300000

IdleChk:
 if (A_TimeIdlePhysical &#38;gt; (60*60*1000))
    process, close, foobar2000.exe
 RETURN&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hope it works for you. If not, somebody else with more skill than I do can put something better.

<description>&#60;p&#62;*.ini are in here, its a bit of a mess but I've tried to tidy it up for you and add some instructions:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://rapidshare.com/files/395829489/TF2.rar.html&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://rapidshare.com/files/395829489/TF2.rar.html&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So enjoy!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In other news I now have created a MK2 version, this time with a little bit more, and a lot more moving bars. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;img src=&#34;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4673584381_d53a473273_b.jpg&#34;&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I tried to get the teleporter exit to show  weather as suggested but I couldn't get the weather to work through my colleges internet filter :(, so I've used it for uptime instead! The clock took ages, and then I found the solution was really simple  so I've managed that, with a fixed minute hand and only the hour and moving, but the clock does of course run clockwise instead of anti-clockwise (like in tf2!).&#60;br /&#62;
The health now actually moves up and down with the cpu meter (I found how to use a variable percentage of an image instead of a solid colour). The dispenser has also changed, now looking much more like in game and also showing me a bar with free space on C:&#60;br /&#62;
The health of the sentry I originally wanted as InSpeed for my network but I could only get it to register either a 1 or a 0, so no continual scale.... :( , instead it shows free space on f:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks for the suggestion, about the dynamic meters!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A new annotated version is available too:&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;well, for the time being now, i think both portable and classic ones has its reasons for existence.  so i also switch between the two kinds. but i use a virtual platform called Prayaya V3 to do it more conveniently. V3 system is installed on any removalbe device so that you can carry such as usb, ipod etc. and v3 allows any windows running software to be installed on it directly. so i just installed my favourite software and games on it to ensure that i have acceess to my software any time any where.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Of course, what you could try is to make the health meters on the left of the sentry/dispenser/teleport dynamic progress bars showing the free space, or memory use or whatever. I presume Rainmeter allows it.

<description>&#60;p&#62;As I've never really used samurze I couldn't really compare the two. Rainmeter is fairly simple once your used to it and it's not to tricky, yet it does get fiddely when you what you want to actually create your own stuff rather than pick choose and move other peoples. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Normally I stick to a cleaner theme, but this time I wanted to stick to the TF2 HUD. I use my c:\ drive a lot more than the other two, which are largly stores. I would rather have them together, so I might move it! Thanks.

<description>&#60;p&#62;A little busy for my liking but good use of all the different parts. Of course this desktop is made for you and you know what's what but my thoughts are that things aren't obvious at first glance. Also, having free disk space spread with c: getting the left and the others on the bottom, I'd usually keep 'em together. But like I said, it's made to fit your desktop.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've never really got the hang of Rainmeter, I'm more of a Samurize man but everything seems quite outdated for that. Is Rainmeter as fiddly as it seems at first glance?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hello all,&#60;br /&#62;
This was the result of my first full go at rainmeter (own configs+own wallpaper) obviously its based on Team Fortress 2.&#60;br /&#62;
I thought I'd post it up just to get some thoughts, I'd be grateful for any input!&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;(The configs were largely adapted from those of the themes &#34;Three&#34;, &#34;Enigma&#34; and &#34;GeoSans&#34;, font provided by Valve)
