When I was installing a fresh copy of Cygwin, I noticed that some tools didn't work as they normally would. They would bail out with an error.
C:\Windows\system32>dig dig: dst_lib_init: openssl failure
A quick search on Google shows that there's a dependency error. While the openssl libraries are installed, the openssl package is also required. After installing that package too, it worked again.
You can clear the DNS cache on a Mac by using these commands (depending on the version of OSX you're running):
If you're running RDS on a vSphere server with VMware Tools installed, you may wish to remove/hide the system tray icon. This can be done by setting a certain registry value.

Each time Google Chrome gets updated, it leaves behind the old version of Chrome. While this comes in handy when you have to downgrade, it also builds up (precious) hard disk space. You can, however, manually remove the old installation files.
Google Chrome is installed by default in your local profile folder, at:
In that folder you will find the main executable (don't remove that) and the different versions of Chrome.
You can simply delete the lower version numbers so that only the highest version remains. This clears out on average 80-100 MB per folder (although it could very well be much more).

Just so you (and especially I) don't forget:
