willwm on Sometimes Chrome just goes out of control, eating up CPU. Any ideas why? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I have a suspicion that this might be caused by the upgraded Flash Player plugin within Chrome. I've noticed my CPU spiking as well, but *only* when I have a page with Flash content loaded. Try switching the "Use pepper flash" (or something like that) setting under chrome://flags."

willwm on Why does the Westboro Baptist Church get police protection, and not peaceful protesters who want to eliminate corporate greed? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the protestors in Occupy Portland actually do get police protection and don't have to go home at night. Pleasantly, everything has been quite peaceful here so far and the police are welcomed by the protestors. =)"

willwm on What should my basement Windows Server 2008 box run? What are some good services? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Not sure which version of Server 2008 you're running, but if you have access to it, I'd highly recommend looking into Windows Home Server 2011 as an alternative. It's built on top of Server 2008R2 and has some great built-ins that would take much longer to configure with a "stock" Server 2008 install. Otherwise, look in to Hyper-V; you can use it to set up a server of assorted virtual machines."

"Have you tried TagScanner? Really powerful tagging tool with a cool UI (IMO)."
- Will Wolff-Myren
willwm on YSK that if you fill your ice trays with hot water you won't have to fill them up all the way making it less likely you will spill water and also ultimately make it easier to remove the ice cubes. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Possibly silly question: how hot does the water need to be for this to work as intended?"
- Will Wolff-Myren
willwm on TIL that the producers of "Nausicaä" were pretty serious about NOT having their movie edited... they sent an actual katana to Harvey Weinstein with the message, "NO CUTS." - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I've heard that the first edited version of Nausicaa iis the reason that none of the Studio Ghibli releases in America since then are allowed any changes besides hiring English-speaking voice actors."

willwm on TIL that in 1971, John Draper used a whistle found in a Cap'n Crunch cereal box to hack AT&T. This gave him authorization into the phone companies system, essentially giving him operator like control, with the ability to place free long distance calls around the world. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Thank you for your awesome technical explanation! (Seriously, no sarcasm. =))"

willwm on TIL that many outlets in China accept US, Euro and China style plugs - http://www.reddit.com/r...

"Indeed. Surprisingly enough, the only AC adapter I had that wouldn't work without a voltage converter was the one for my Nintendo 3DS. Everything else worked just fine. =)"

"I think that most devices that have a AC to DC "power brick" (laptop, phone charger, etc.) are switching power supplies, meaning that they'd adapt to the different current automagically. (Please correct me if I'm wrong; I'm curious to know if this is accurate.)"

"Totally. Check this out: > All of eastern Japan, including Tokyo and the disaster-struck region to the north, is standardized on 50Hz supply while the rest of the country uses 60Hz. > Connecting the two grids is possible, but it requires frequency changing stations. Three such facilities exist, but they have a total capacity of 1 gigawatt. [A legacy from the 1800s leaves Tokyo facing blackouts](http://www.itworld.com/busines...)"
