Can any rec a free, idiots-can-use-this, Zip program? I'm trying to get into the specs for a potential editing job, and my Winzip free trial is dead.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Have a look at 7-Zip: [link]

Thanks, dcp. I'd already dl WINRAR; is 7-Zip better?

We use 7-Zip at work. Haven't tried WINRAR.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh my God, how does anyone use a smartphone? It's been three hours and my battery is suddenly half gone. All I did was play Angry Birds for like five minutes in the morning and wave around a lightsaber for ten seconds. It lasted the whole day the last couple days when I was actually USING it; I don't understaaaaaaand.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My Blackberry's battery won't even last a whole day anymore, and the thing is barely a year old. Think I'll trade it in for something with a slide-out keyboard so I can actually type on it - turns out I'd rather text than talk.

P-C, check to see if you're still running Angry Birds. Go through the Settings panel and click on Applications and then Running Services. Or click on Phone Info and then Battery and it'll tell you what apps are using up your power.

I ended up just turning my phone off because what the hell. I've checked the Battery Use, and it's 70% Display, with apps only 1%. When I turned it back on, it did show Angry Birds in there, but I couldn't Force Stop it, so I thought it was just a report that it had been using battery power. Facebook was in there, and I tried to Force Stop it, although I'm not sure it worked. I don't have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS on, either. I don't have Vibrate on all the time. I always check the Task Manager to make sure there aren't any apps running. I'm already doing most of the things that are supposed to conserve battery life.
I'm really confused because sometimes I can just watch the battery go down 1% every couple minutes when I'm not even doing anything, and other times, I don't touch it for hours, and it only goes down a tiny bit, which is what I would expect. And it gets really warm.

70% Display? Is weird. Does the sleep mode work?
