Copy and Paste from any Computer to Another

The best ways to accompish this securly are:
1. Do it old school - paper and pencil. (NOW WORKS OFFLINE!!!!!)(Sarcasm, of course)
If your hand writing bites:
2. Use iGoogle's sticky note widget.
If your not a google person.
3. Email it to yourself.
If you can't use email or something strange like that:
4. Use Drop.io. Drop.io is a private file sharing site. You can add a password too! I personally use Drop.io for tons of stuff. You can upload pictures, audio, text, or any other misc. file that are under 100mb. Here is a link: http://drop.io/

If your computer doesn't have internet and blocks flash drives you are basically stuck with #1 - Paper and Pencil. You could also burn it to a CD but who uses CDs anymore? ;) :P

how do you copy/paste that "unique address" from one computer to another?

Your article would be better if the link was corrected:
Currently the link shows as "http://www.heypasteit.com"
but actually links to http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/29D which has a reference to a tornado in Australia, without any indication of how to, or where to paste your own clip.
It puzzled me for a while until I figured it out. (brain in neutral)

When ever I read a "Dummies" or "Idiots guide to . . . " book there is a LOT of information in there that is either very obvious or easier done in a different way. Do I think that information should have been left out of the book? Absolutely not. Not everybody is as smart or experienced as I am (and I am no genius by any measure).

Same idea applies to this list. Probably 85% of the tips, links and software included here are of no use to me or are already known. That does not mean I don't want them included. Others may need them or learn something from them.

Those that want or expect only content that is guaranteed useful to themselves are greedy and selfish. You will not be missed.

Google Docs can also be used for this purpose.

Gizmo I know you didn't intend it this way but this website gives my users an easy way of stealing company information.

We have spend a lot of time shutting down users access to SMTP/IMAP/webmail from our company PCs and restricting the use of plug-in USB devices. However we can't for practical reasons restrict HTML access. That means any of my users can post any company document to the outside using this site.

When I go to work on Monday I'll have to block this site.

No more please!

Emailing to yourself is a good idea when you have email on every computer. When you work with multiple computers and want to use a license key or something similar it is far easier using the website. I do not want to have to set up an pop email account or go to web mail on each computer. For some people, email may work perfect, especially the home user. As I IT professional I look forward to finding new and innovate apps/services that can help me.
From the post above:

"For sure. The "website solution" is one of the few totally useless ideas from the Gizmo web site. How can this possibly be easier than simply emailing the information? By the time you log in etc you've sent the email. This is an example of a GREAT IDEA that merits being sent to this group? Please. We have reached the bottom of the barrel for sure."

All I can say is just because you do not see any use, does not mean it is not usefull.

and if every computer is NOT on the internet?

Another great option is Evernote - evernote.com (I dont think it was noted before.)
Of course as an online note taking app it does so much more but it would work very well for this purpose as well.

I recommend Live Mesh. It's currently in beta and what it does is allows you to synchonize files automatically between multiple PCs, mobile devices, Pocket PC and the "Cloud" (web space). It is a secure way to transfer files. You can also share certain folder inside Live Mesh with others. I have a Password file on Live Mesh that gets sync between all my devices - it's simple and easy to use. If I'm at an internet cafe, I can also access the files via web browser and a secure login (no software installation req'd). If you're interested visit - http://www.mesh.com

This is going to be really handy for me as I can't use personal email from work and my corporate PC wont accept USB sticks.

This vet of Synergy is gonna have to retire it for Input Director. The ability to copy and paste entire documents, Cursor Wraparound, and much easier configuration have given Synergy something to strive for.

One xterm and ssh sessions do the job for me.
For transferring a whole file, telnet, rsync or scp do the job with ease.
But then I use unix... :)

I agree with "emailing it to yourself". Relatively secure, keeps indefinitely, can be accessed at any computer with internet access.

memorize it! dohhhh

why not just email the item to yourself since you have to note the unique address anyway.

I use Input Director: http://www.inputdirector.com/

Clipboarding between networked computers is just one feature of this freebie.

With one mouse/keyboard, I control 6 monitors/3 keyboards on 3 PC's as if I was working one PC.

I know, I know, about Synergy. To each his own.

You can use Google/IG's Sticky Note to do the same thing, and it is private.
