UI Question: Can I disable the "bubble" chat style...

Okay, so I've been recently forced to download the latest version of Skype, which, up till now, I've been refusing since I was perfectly happy with the old UI's. Now it's all text-bubbles from cellphones and the bouncing and the ugh. I'm not happy. I write lots of paragraphs with my friends and this cellphone look-alike is irritating and frustrating and I really really really hate watching it bounce every time I send a new message.
So, my question is if there's any way to disable that or fix the UI so it doesn't have text bubbles or maybe download any app/anything that will reduce the amount of irritation I have and maybe just make it look like it used to? A simple white background with text on it.

No, you can't disable the bubble style chat, or the avatar's next to the bubble, or the inline thumbnails of recieved images.
Microsoft knows what you want, even if you think you want something different. You are wrong, and Microsoft is right!
More seriously, I detest the bubble style chat, and the inline avatars, and the inline image previews. I want a simple, pure text chat. No fancy bubbles, no fancy image previews, no inline avatars. Unfortunatly they forced this update onto me, and didn't give me a chance to accept or reject. I just rebooted my PC, and my old skype was replaced by this absolute trash.

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''

How can I disable the HP Updates Agent from running?

HP pavilion D4100Y
Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)
No error message
No recent changes
Problem: The program "Updates from HP Agent" runs frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not one I chose. It takes over my computer for hours and uses most of the CPU, fluctuating from 13% to 87% to 1 etc.3% to 6%, etc. The computer hangs and I cannot use it for anything else. On the HP Updates screen, I set the updates to "NEVER" but that didn't work. The programs still run. On the Windows Task Manager window the program is called "Updates from HP Agent".
I cannot find anything about this problem in the support database.

Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now.

Can I disable the yellow volume and brightness bars that pop up when using the function keys?

I upgraded to windows 8 and it has volume and brightness meters that pop up automatically, and they are nicer looking than the big yellow lenovo ones. Plus having 2 bars is redundant. How can I disable the lenovo ones so I can just have the windows 8 ones? I had just the windows 8 ones until the lenovo driver package installed itself automatically.

hi caseyls,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
AFAIK the Indicator for Brightness and volume are Installed via Lenovo Energy Management Software.
Try uninstalling the sOftware from (Control Panel / Uninstall a program)
And it should disable it.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.

How can i disable the internal speakers without voiding the warranty?

The students here annoy other students trying to study, I have made an extension for the headphone so that it is mounted under the monitor, facing the front and hot glued the headphone jack to the back, but the students ripped out the extension and threw it away so that they could play very awful music and annoy everyone.
How can I disable the internal speakers on our imacs without voiding warranty? There has to be a way!
Thanks-

Have you considered corporal punishment? One instructor I had in high school, when he had detention duty, played classical music an operas all during detention. He was quite "evil". He would have some slow "sleepy" music going for a bit, then it would throw in something to wake every one up like the 1812 Overture or something, and repeat this a few times...and have the music loud enough to prevent talking. Many detention-ees thought that was "cruel and unusual punishment." (LOL)
But to your question. Since opening the case would normally void the warranty (unless you can find a empathetic Apple technician), what I would suggest is a "sleeve". Imagine some sheet metal and form it into a rectangular tube. The tube would closely follow the shape of the iMac covering all the cable ports. Then bolt the tube and iMac to the table. (Or at the very least, bolt the tube to the iMac.) Basically, make it so that there little room between the tube and iMac, that no one could access the ports without removing the tube. You'll also need to secure the cables to the tube so that no one can just pull out the cables, yet leave enough slack to allow for removal of the tube for maintenance. Even if the metal is not a full tube, but the Mac and metal is bolted to the table in such a way as to prevent access to the ports could be sufficient deterrent. If metal is not possible, then perhaps plastic or wood.
I realize that is requires some work, and there is a drawback as pranksters could start dropping stuff inside the tube. Perhaps just have a clear plastic "wall" preventing all physical access to the Mac. Only a USB extension cable for the keyboard/mouse. Use Remote Disk sharing to mount CDs, if necessary.
Some thoughts, anyway. Good luck!

Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"
