    Need a little help, I want to know the name of the song and singer.
    Right now I can only remember some of the chorus, it goes sth like,
    Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
    It's a female singer and the song is recent enough, I think. Thanks

    Your probably still in the top 20% even if your living homeless on the streets and not getting anything other than a few coppers thrown in your coffee cup by passers by.

    Still can't get it, I'm a bit dumb at this stuff. I want to take a pic of a webpage using the laptop and then I want to post a pic of that page, is it even possible?

    Print Screen will copy the whole screen to the clipboard.
    Alt + Print Screen will copy just the active window to the cliboard.

    Open Paint and press CTRL + V.
