Shift+Left
You can drag the cursor over text to select it. But using the keyboard can be much faster.
Press Shift+Left when in a text box, and the computer will select the character to the left of where you're typing. If you've already selected some text, this shortcut key simply adds the character to your current selection.
(The shortcut should work on Linux. On the Mac OS X, replace Shift with Alt.)

Ctrl+C
Computers do a splendid job of manipulating text, which makes editing a breeze—and plagiarism commonplace.
Ctrl+C Copies your selection to the clipboard. The clipboard acts a temporary repository that allows computer users to quickly move or duplicate text, pictures, or even music and video. As a general rule, the clipboard can only contain one item at a time.

Ctrl+V
Ctrl+V pastes the clipboard's contents into whatever you're editing. This shortcut will only work if you're trying to paste something that's compatible with the app you're using. Try pasting a picture into Windows Notepad for instance, and nothing will happen.
(Also works on Linux. For Mac OS X however, press the Command key (⌘) instead of Ctrl)

Windows+Left
Hold the Windows key down while pressing any of the four arrow keys to arrange windows quickly.
Windows+Left - Quickly resize a window so that it only takes up half of your screen (length-wise), then snaps it to the left. This is very useful for arranging apps side by side, but only works for resizable windows. Pressing this shortcut again snaps the window to the right, while another press restores the window to its "old" size.

7 Classic Disney Movies Based On R-Rated Stories
As happy as they were to give us the occasional nightmare, Disney's favorite way to misshape our world view was to coat classic stories in a suffocating saccharine wrapper, damning us all to a lifetime of naivety.
But all you have to do is look at these (very real) original endings to tales Disney sanitized to be thankful for their protection, and baffled that they chose to adapt such horrifying stories to begin with ...
7.The Jungle Book: Everybody Dies
The film follows Mowgli, a baby who winds up in the jungle and is befriended by talking predators. After avoiding the human world for years and spending most of his childhood being awesome in the jungle, Mowgli stumbles upon a village and is instantly smitten with some doe-eyed floozy. The girl bats an eyelash and Mowgli disappears into the village forever, living happily ever after with his own people and leaving Baloo the Bear and Bagheera the Panther in the dust. Roll credits!
"Y'know, in hindsight we probably should've just eaten him."
The original "Jungle Book" was a short-story by Rudyard Kipling, a man with surprisingly little tolerance for anything resembling Disney bullshit.
His mustache would not allow it.
In response, Mowgli recruits Hathi the Elephant for help. But the thing is, the book's Hathi isn't the cuddly, forgetful old Major of the film.
"LEAVE NONE ALIVE!"
6.The Little Mermaid: Blood, Heartbreak, Death
After an entire movie of trying to turn from a mermaid into a human girl so she can marry a prince, things aren't looking good for Ariel. Due to cunning contractual stipulations, the evil witch Ursula winds up with Ariel and Triton's magical crown and trident.
Really, she has all the ingredients for a prog-metal album cover.
The Original Ending:
After having her tail split in two by the evil sea witch's potion, the mermaid goes upon land and proceeds to bleed absolutely everywhere.
The prince, finding this delightfully amusing, commands her to dance for him while she grins and bears the excruciating pain.
"And maybe later I can choke you while we have sex!"
Instead of descending upon his sleeping body with an X-Acto knife, she instead chooses to believe in the power of love.
Damn, Old Yeller probably tacked on about 500,000 years alone
5.Pinocchio: Chewed Up by Dozens of Ravenous Fish
Pinocchio is a tale about the humanity of a little wooden puppet as he is led through the trials and pitfalls of growing up. He learns many important moral lessons along the way.
Such as how to deal with assholes like Lampwick.
Along with some aliens. Because in case you forgot, A.I. was stupid.
After Pinocchio is turned into a donkey, he gets bought by a musician who wants a new drum head made out of donkey skin and tosses Pinocchio into the sea to drown him, presumably because there were no knives or heavy rocks available at the time. Fortunately, Pinocchio is saved by a school of fish that proceed to devour his flesh, reducing him to wooden bones.
In five seconds this is going to get bloodier than a GWAR concert.
On second thought, we're with Pinocchio on this one.
How to kill a dragon with various programming languages
There's a beautiful princess, prisoner in the highest tower of a castle, guarded by a mighty dragon, and a fearless knight must rescue her…
This is how each language would manage to rescue the princess from the hands of the dragon
- Java - Gets there, finds the dragon, develops a framework for dragon anihilation with multiple layers, writes several articles about the framework… But doesn't kill the dragon.
- .NET - Gets there, sees the idea of the Java developer and copies it. Tries to kill the dragon, but the monster eats him.
- C - Arrives, looks down at the dragon, pulls out his sword, beheads the dragon, finds the princess… And ignores her to see the last checkins of linux kernel cvs.
- C++ - Creates a basic needle, and gathers funcionality until he has a complex sword that he can barely understand… He kills the dragon, but gets stuck crossing the bridge because of memory leaks.
- COBOL - Arrives, sees the dragon and thinks that he is too old to kill a monster that big and rescuing the princess, so he leaves.
- Pascal - He prepares for 10 years to create a dragon anihilation system… When the moment comes, he discovers the program can only take lizards as an entry.
- VB - Builds a dragon destruction weapon based on several components, jumps to the back of the dragon and in the most critical time he discovers that the sword works only on rainy nights…
- PL/SQL - Gets data from other dragon slayers, creates tables with n ternary complexity relations, tridimensional data, OLAP, takes 15 years to process the information… And by then, the princess became a lesbian.
- Ruby - Arrives with massive fame, saying he is the best at anything and when he faces the dragon, he shows a lame motion picture of himself killing a dragon… The dragon eats him out of boredom.
- Smalltalk - Arrives, analyzes the dragon and princess, turns around and leaves, they are way too inferior.
- shell - Creates a very powerful dragon slaying weapon… But in the moment of truth, he can't remember how to use it.
- shell(2)- The guy approaches the dragon with a two line script that kills, cuts, disembowels, impales, chops to pieces and packs the beast, but when he runs it the script grows, it fattens, irritates and puts alcohol in the fire of the dragon…
- Assembler - He thinks he's doing the right and most efficient things… But he writes an A instead of a D and kills the princess to end up f***ing the dragon.
- Fortran - Arrives and develops a 45-thousand-code-line-solution, kills the dragon, meets the princess… But she calls him a weakling and runs after the Java programmer who was elegant, and also rich.
- FOX PRO - Develops a dragon killing system. It's gorgeous and works on the outside, but it's really patched inside, so when he runs the dragon anihilator, he realizes he forgot to index the DBFs.
- PROCESS ANALYST - Approaches the dragon with two tons of documentation, develops the unified dragon-killing process, he develops a DFD to free the princess and marry her, convinces the dragon that it's the best for him and it won't hurt. When he executes the process, he estimates the effort and the damage he will cause with a plan signed by the Pope, Buddha and Michael Jackson. Then he buys a couple of nukes, 45 cannons, an aircraft carrier and hires 300 heavily armed men… When all he needed was the sword he was holding in his hand in the beginning…
- CLIPPER: Sets up a routine that loads a codeblock array to insult the dragon, serenade the princess, load the sword in memory, beat the crap out of the dragon, clean the mess, prepare a raspberry milkshake for the princess, make love to her, take a bath, start the car, put it some gas and come back home. When he runs it, he gets a "Bound Error: Array Access" and the dragon eats him with fries.
- Lisp, where the famous knight-errant, after speaking with numerous experts in dragon-killing, and modeling the knowledge they posess, he programs the system, and when he runs it he realizes he forgot a bracket (bender the offender).
Spruce up Your Pooch with a Pedicure (aka Paw-dicure)
What You Will Need
Before you get started with your dog's pedicure, you may want to gather the following tools:
1. A comfortable blanket on the floor with enough space for both you and your dog
2. A warm, wet washcloth
3. Nail trimmers
4. Styptic powder
5. A brush or comb
6. Blunt-ended scissors
7. Paw pad cream
8. Pet-friendly nail polish and polish removing pads
Getting Started
Eliminate other distractions and stresses from the room, such as the television, loud children, other pets, etc. Share one-on-one time with your dog. Sit on your pedicure blanket
and pet and talk to your dog. Maybe even offer a treat or two.
If your dog is not already accustomed to his pedicure tools, let him sniff them. Give him positive praise as he does.
Throughout the pedicure process, continue to talk to your dog and give him positive attention to make his pedicure extra relaxing.
Clean Paws
Begin by using your washcloth to clean your dog's paws of any debris and dirt. Inspect his paws and pads for foreign objects, cracks, blisters, etc. If you find injuries, contact your veterinarian.
Brush or comb out the hair on the paws to eliminate any tangles, mats, or small pieces of debris.
Designers Spin Spidey-Worthy Webs From Packing Tape
Packing tape has gotten MacGyver out of many a jam, but he never managed to make an entire home out of the stuff. So he could probably learn something from Viennese/Croatian design collective For Use/Numen. The team uses nothing but packing tape to create huge, self-supporting cocoons that
visitors could climb inside and explore.
Installed three times in the past year, the next deployment will be next week from June 9–13 at DMY Berlin's International Design Fair, which is now in its 8th year.
The installations, which look like the work of horrifyingly large arachnids, grew in scale and scope as the year progressed, first deployed inside a small Croatian gallery, then an abandoned attic during October’s Vienna Design Week.
At the last installation inside Odeon, a former stock exchange building in Vienna, the group used nearly 117,000 feet and 100 pounds of tape. “The installation is based on an idea for a dance performance in which the form evolves from the movement of the dancers between the pillars,” explains For Use’s Christoph Katzler. “The dancers are stretching the tape while they move, so the resulting shape is a recording of the choreography.” Watch below to see how it was done.
Top 10 Uses for Wi-Fi (That Aren't Just Connecting to the Internet)
Having the ability to connect to the internet anywhere we go is undoubtedly awesome, but it isn't the only gift Wi-Fi technology has given us. Here are our 10 favorite uses for Wi-Fi that go beyond accessing the web.
10. Turn Your Smartphone into a Remote Control
If all the computers in your house are connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can easily connect your smartphone to the same network and control them. With apps like our favorite iTunes-controlling Remote app for iPhone, the all-encompassing Gmote for Android, and more XBMC remotes than you can shake a stick at , you don't have to get up from your couch for anything anymore. 9. Send Documents to Your Printer from Any Computer or Smartphone
There's no reason to have five different printers in your house just so you can print in any room. Instead of constantly plugging and unplugging the printer from your laptop, you can print wirelessly from any computer. Just share the printer from the computer it's connected to, turn it into its own standalone print server if it doesn't have a computer next to it, or even print files from your smartphone using Dropbox (on both Windows and Mac ).8. Forward Notifications from Your Smartphone to Your PC
If you're rocking an Android phone (and most of you are), you can send call, SMS, and battery notifications straight to your Windows, Mac with Growl, or Linux PC over Wi-Fi with Android notifier. No more do you have to deal with the ringing and buzzing phone from across the room when you're already sitting at your PC. If you prefer to be able to take action on these items, you can always forego the Wi-Fi and send them over GTalk with TalkMyPhone instead.7. Tether Your Smartphone to Your Computer for Internet Anywhere
Okay, so we kind of cheated on this one—it does involve connecting to the internet, but it's definitely not in the traditional way people use Wi-Fi (especially because you often need a hacked or rooted device to do it). Instead of searching around for regular Wi-Fi networks wherever you go, you can just use your phone as a wireless router and connect to your phone's internet service with your PC. Whether you have a rooted Android phone and the Wireless Tether app, a Jailbroken iPhone with PDAnet, or a manually hacked-to-tether Palm Pre, you'll never be without internet again—as long as you have cell phone signal, of course.
