While you're at it, see if you can figure out why this piece of shit goes through batteries like a meth whore's vibrator.
Remove all pr0n apps and you should see a significant increase in battery life.

This is more of a data question but pretty urgent to me -

Do anyone know how to mine data from a PDF? I have document/estimate with 76,000 line items that contains certain line items that I need to pull out and put on a separate sheet. Ideally I would convert it to an spreadsheet and then filter the lines into a separate doc. Doing this manually would take days.

Any clue how I could do this? I'm even willing to pay for a service if needed.

You should be able to export it to Word if you have Acrobat Pro. Then you can grab those line items from that Word document.

Right but I can't filter the line items out. I would have to manually copy and paste. We are doing that right now. I have someone working on it and they are have take 3 days to pull out about 1/5 of the data.

Ideally I would need to filter it and grab the lines that we need.

You should be ashamed that you let your pdf get so far out of hand.

I guess I'm an idiot, but how the hell do I get the function keys locked on this damn laptop? I have googled and read that you have to do it in bios, and then I have read to do it in Windows mobility center. Neither place had an option to change the function keys.

Seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on this TV...seems like a damn good price for a QLED.

2 things the Q6 and Q7 are only a backlit TV and the LEDs are on the outer perimeter of the screen. THe Q8 and Q9s are fully backlit and on a TV that big that is something to consider. If I were spending that sort of money, I'd look at the OLED, Q8 or Q9. IMHO.
