Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options. Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize. In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files. Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on. That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version. It became slow and often froze. So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak. My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...

The Confederate Flag and Its Impact and Influence on Millenials

It's been an unsettling week as once again, some post high school dropout with a chip on his soldier and a too-easily acquired gun decides to end lives. This time, some loser douche decided to invade a church and kill several people who weren't pale enough for him. This has led, most unfortunately to a whole lot of sheeple deciding to blame everything in the world, except for this young guy. What some people just can't seem to wrap around their heads is that sometimes people are just born wrong. This guy probably has instances as far back as early childhood of things that should have alerted someone to the fact that he's cracked in the head. But the sheeple persist. So, now we have this movement going on called #takedowntheflag, where civil authorities are being besieged by people in droves demanding that Confederate flags from the Civil War be taken down from government buildings. Apparently, that was what set the guy off. A flag. No, that's just wha...

LG Vu Crashes Forwarding Multimedia Message

This is kind of a random post but I figured there would be people that it applies to, so here goes. I recently got an LG Vu. (I will be doing a review on my tech site, Obsessive Compulsive Linux Disorder soon) and every time I went to forward a multimedia message, the darn thing would just crash and reboot. After some frustrating searching, I found the solution. For some reason the Vu doesn't like it when you have a signature turned on. So in order to forward a multimedia message, do the following: 1. Tap Menu key (blue square with white dots) 2. Tap Messaging 3. Scroll down (all the way) to Message Settings and tap. 4. Tap Text Message 5. Tap Insert Signature 6. Tap Off. Now, you can forward your multimedia messages just fine. You can have your signature turned on if you want to forward regular text messages (text with no pictures).
