What does this process do?

I am often given computers, that according to clients, are “running slow.” Despite my recommendation to reinstall Windows, many clients are uncompromising. So I spend several hours douching out the malware, invalid registry keys, and useless applications. One of the many tools that often helps me identify malware (when the computer is too infested to run an application to do it for me) and increase the start up time is processlibrary.com

Uniblue’s free and comprehensive online library of processes is for everyone who needs to know the exact nature and purpose of every process that should, and should not, be running on their PC.

My only qualm is that their ProcessScanner application needs to be installed. It would be very nice if it was a single executable that can be ran from a USB flashdrive.

lmgtfy – Let me Google that for you

I know what you are thinking. OMG! DHMUAA? Which obviously means: Oh my God! Did he make up another acronym? I didn’t, but @coderifous and @rmm5t did. lmgtfy.com or Let me Google that for you is for all those people who find a simple Google search beyond the scope of their capabilities. So next time someone asks you a question that Google can answer, rather than being rude and directing them to justfuckinggoogleit.com or telling them “Google is your Friend,” point your browser to lmgtfy.com. Type in a query, and press the Google Search button. This will generate a URL that looks similar to http://lmgtfy.com/?q=John+Ciacia. Send this URL to the inquisitor and it will display a nice animation of the entire Googling process along with the Google search results. After all, “Give a man a link – he’ll have information for a day. Teach a man to Google and he’ll never bug you again.

[Let me Google that for you] is for all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves.
