Dropbox vs. SugarSync

Dropbox vs. SugarSync: A Synchronized Duel - SmallCloudBuilder

This is why I'll choose Dropbox:

"SugarSync transmits files from your machine to the cloud via an SSL-secured connection, but encrypts the files themselves with AES-128 after they reach SugarSync's servers. Dropbox encrypts files with stronger AES-256 before sending them up with a secure SSL connection.


So in the event that someone were to intercept the SSL connection with Dropbox, they'd still have to unencrypt the files. While with SugarSync their job would be done."

"Go To" is Grayed-out in Notepad

If you have Word Wrap checked (Format/Word Wrap) then Go To (Ctrl+G) is grayed out. Uncheck Word Wrap and Go To will no longer be grayed out.

Remote Connection - Resize Screen to Fit Window

Finally found where to adjust the screen I am remotely connected to (so I don't have to use the vertical and horizontal scroll bars to view the screen): Click "options" in the logon dialog box. Choose the "Display" tab, then drag the "Display configuration" slider to the far right until you see "Full Screen" (instead of e.g. 1280 x 768 pixels).

Print Friendly & PDF

Print Friendly
I love this site! Simply place the URL of the page you want to print into the "enter a url" box, and click "print preview". The page is nicely formatted to print.

But this is my FAVORITE feature... check the "no images" box and the images are removed leaving a clean, well formatted page. Simply click "print" (or "pdf" if you'd like).

You can also add an icon to your web browser and perform the task without calling up their website.
