How to disable UAC in Windows Vista

Basic method: Control Panel

1. Turn it off in User accounts.
• Now, Microsoft highly recommends that you do not do this.  After you ignore them and do it anyway, a scary little red X shield icon plants itself in your Taskbar, visually screaming at you about the security risk.
2. In Security Center, choose "Change the way Security Center alerts me" and then "Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not recommended)"

Technical method: policy & registry

Health-index formulas

Body Mass Index (BMI)

The formulae universally used in medicine produce a unit of measure of kg/m².

HP calculator's solver equation:

BMI = KG÷SQ(CM÷100)

• KG = kilograms
• CM = centimeters 

Calculator technique

ส่วนใหญ่มักจะคำนวณค่าส่วนสูงยกกำลังสองก่อน แล้วค่อยมาตั้งค่าน้ำหนักหารด้วยค่ากำลังสอง

วิธีที่ง่ายกว่าคือ

1. ตั้งค่าน้ำหน้ก (kg)
2. หารส่วนสูง (m: ปกติบอกเป็น cm ก็ทดทศนิยม 2 ตำแหน่งไปเลย)
3. หารส่วนสูงซ้ำอีกที

Cholesterol-HDL-LDL-Triglyceride equation
HP-calculator solver:
CHOL = HDL+LDL+TGCR/5

How to add multiple contacts to a group in Google Contacts

Current generally-known practice:

1. Add contact into my/all contacts, if it has never been in yet -- one by one.
2. Select contact(s) from my/all contacts or existing groups, and add to desired group.

Organize GMail for in-process, follow-up

With combination of features in GMail, we may organize mails for in-progress or follow-up tasks as following ideas.

1. Tag & query
• Use label(s) (see Smart-Terms blog) or define a certain type in super stars (such as orange-guillemet).
• Then define either a section in multiple inboxes or a query in quick links.
2. Use Tasks

Process

• Set rule to yourself when to review these mails of in-progress/follow-up – regularly.
• Once done, don’t forget to remove label/star or task off.
• Further action may be to move/(re)label to done.
• Should we retain mails of in-progress/follow-up in inbox or move off?
• Ans: It depends on your concept whether pending mails in inbox means “not done/complete yet” or “not respond yet”.
