将此电子邮件用作警告新用户电子邮件烦恼的指南

turtlemom4bacon摄

brownize通过一封广泛的电子邮件给那些仍在积累互联网知识的亲朋好友提供了一些建议，我们中的一些人可能以前见过：

这不是幽默。我和你分享它是因为你可能会收到至少和我一样多的愚蠢的邮件，而且你可能想有一个方便的方法告诉其他好人他们像电子邮件新手一样浮躁。

我谦恭地建议，您可能希望与您参与的所有电子邮件列表共享此信息。您也可以保留一份副本，发送给忘记这些建议的通讯员。

电子邮件生活资料

1. Big companies don't do business via chain letter. Bill Gates is not giving you $1000, and Disney is not giving you a free vacation. There is no baby food company issuing class-action checks. You can relax; there is no need to pass it on "just in case it's true". Furthermore, just because someone said in the message, four generati*** back, that "we checked it out and it's legit", does not actually make it true.
2. And I quote: "The National Kidney Foundation has repeatedly issued requests for actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and tell their stories. None have." That's "none" as in "zero". Not even your friend's cousin.
3. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking up in a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend swears it happened to their cousin. If you are hell-bent on believing the kidney-theft ring stories, please read this.
4. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe. And even if they do, we all have it. And even if you don't, you can get a copy here. Then, if you make the recipe, decide the cookies are that awesome, feel free to pass the recipe on.
5. We all know all 500 ways to drive your roommates crazy, irritate co-workers, gross out bathroom stall neighbors and creep out people on an elevator. We also know exactly how many engineers, college students,
6. Usenet posters and people from each and every world ethnicity it takes to change a light bulb.
7. Even if the latest NASA rocket disaster(s) DID contain plutonium that went to particulate over the eastern seaboard, do you REALLY think this information would reach the public via an AOL chain-letter?
8. There is no "Good Times" virus. In fact, you should never, ever, ever forward any email containing any virus warning unless you first confirm it at an actual site of an actual company that actually deals with virii.
9. TryNorton or Symantec.
10. If your CC: list is regularly longer than the actual content of your message, you're probably going to Hell.
11. If you're using Outlook, IE, or Netscape to write email, turn off the "HTML encoding." [hear, hear!] Those of us on Unix shells can't read it, and don't care enough to save the attachment and then view it with a web browser, since you're probably forwarding us a copy of the Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe anyway.
12. If you still absolutely MUST forward that 10th-generation message from a friend, at least have the decency to trim the eight miles of headers showing everyone else who's received it over the last 6 months. It sure wouldn't hurt to get rid of all the ">" that begin each line [I try to do that!]. Besides, if it has gone around that many times - we've probably already seen it.
13. Craig Shergold in England is not dying of cancer or anything else at this time and would like everyone to stop sending him their business cards. He apparently is also no longer a "little boy" either. Nor can you get into the Guinness Book of World Records this way anymore (the rules were rewritten specifically to prevent this.)

这张单子很直截了当，但它确实涵盖了许多让那些刚接触电子邮件的人感到恐惧或困惑的常见方式。我们会用它作为更新列表的指南，温和地提醒新用户，他们不能相信收到的每一封电子邮件。你会把什么列在你的单子上？

用冰箱的排气管擦干鞋子

GitEmSteveDave分享了他如何在不加热房子的情况下烘干鞋子和其他物品：

在夏天，当我早上出去做家务时，我的靴子/运动鞋会因为露水而湿透。因为现在是夏天，开暖气也会使房子变热，使我的空调更难工作。所以，我把鞋子放在冰箱的排气口旁。不管怎样，它是温暖的和流动的，它轻轻地烘**的东西。到了第二天，他们又干了，并准备重复。

使用自动热键或文本框同时搜索多个选项卡

埃文告诉我们他是如何解决个人烦恼的：

我一直希望Firefox有一个特性，那就是能够使用quicksearch特性，在标签页中执行多个搜索。例如，我可以做“电影天父”，得到一个标签与烂番茄搜索，一个与IMDb搜索。因为我还没有看到任何处理这种功能的扩展，所以我决定在AutoHotkey中创建一个快速的解决方案。我是这样做的：

首先，在Firefox中，设置对IMDb和烂番茄的快速搜索。在这个例子中，我使用“imdb”和“rt”作为关键字。

#热字符串结束字符`t；将激活键设置为tab，以免影响正常使用单词

o:电影：；省略最后一个字符（制表符）并使用“电影”作为关键字

发送{bs}+{Home}^crt{space}^v{enter}；第一行应始终遵循此格式，{space}前面的rt是输入关键字的位置

发送^limdb{space}^v{输入}；所有后续行应遵循此格式

现在如果你输入“天父电影”并按tab，你会得到两个选项卡，一个是烂番茄搜索，另一个是IMDb搜索。对于不支持快速搜索的浏览器，您也可以使用此方法，将关键字与搜索url进行子组合，确保“^v”位于查询url的正确部分。但是，如果您可以快速搜索，我建议您这样做，因为这样可以使代码更简洁，输入更快。

*如果您不喜欢在AutoHotkey中创建自己的脚本，那么您应该能够使用Texter的界面获得相同的功能，使用hotstring“movie”，将输入选项设置为script，将触发器设置为tab，并将所有代码作为一行，如{bs}+{Home}^crt{space}^v{enter}^limdb{space}^v{输入}

轻松打开酒瓶

詹妮弗有一个简单的软木塞删除快速指针：

我和一个朋友一年前就想出了这个窍门，从那以后我再也没有失败过：

要想轻易地将瓶塞从酒瓶中取出，可将瓶口浸入温水中20-30秒，然后像往常一样使用螺旋塞。软木塞会很容易就***。我不知道为什么这样做-我们的理论是，温水使玻璃膨胀到足以给软木塞空间。

把你的衣领和重新使用的塑料卡放在一起

乔恩告诉我们，他如何通过重新利用旧塑料卡来保持衣领整洁：

每当我需要衬衫的领子时，只要把旧的常旅客卡或酒店房间钥匙（或任何塑料卡）剪下来，我总是会有一些满足感。如果你把它们水平切割，你通常可以从每张卡片上得到6到8个领子。另一种选择是在百货公司购买，但价格昂贵，而且很难找到。然而，无论你在家还是在路上，塑料卡通常都非常方便（在紧急情况下，你总是会破坏你的酒店房卡，向前台索要另一张）。
