  • Re: Click here to break your modem

    Yeah, as others here have already said, this disables everything on the device except for the modem and passes all traffic transparently, so you can put your own router/firewall (one without a modem) 'behind' it. This is a very useful feature, and one I often look for in an ADSL 'router', so I can use my own (non shitty) router ...

  • Re: cannot access title bar of an app

    Oh, wait, that's not Aero Peek, wrong name. Whatever the name is for the mini-window that pops up when you hover over the taskbar icon.

  • Re: cannot access title bar of an app

    if Win7 (or vista? not sure) hover over the taskbar icon until the aero peek pops up, then move the mouse to the peek window and right-click and select 'move' and you can then use the arrow keys to move the window. If move is greyed out, try hitting 'restore' first, then you can move it.

  • Re: The REAL problem

     Many years ago, the director I reported to had the name Charles Munt (slightly amended). I wrote a full report & presentation about how we should change our username & email address policy to "firstname-initial last 3 letters of surname". I delivered it completely dead-pan and managed to keep it going for about 20 minutes ...
