  1. Re:Instant Code Style fix on Does Coding Style Matter? · · Score: 1

    we've got a heretic here that doesn't reconfigure his hotkeys to match the one true editor :P

    However, I left out pointing out that that that combination was for visual studio simply because I was waiting for an emacs reference.

    Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F

    Presto, you've got your coding style for code that you didn't write.

    mmm, tasty pepto bismol.

  4. Re:Maybe it would be easier to just re-launch it? on How To Steal a Space Shuttle · · Score: 1

    It can't go into space again -- it's been gutted from the inside out.

    At least I hope it does and it will force them to rethink their stupid Start menu removal, amongst other things.

    Yes, I agree that It's a bit pissy of microsoft to drop the friggin start menu after all these years without any kind of transition period -- or with anything that has an ounce of useability in it.

    There is a 3rd party program that adds the start menu back to the taskbar, http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/

    Just a happy user (note: it's a tad buggy when it comes to opening files from jump lists, but I hear that might be fixed internally).

    As an example at work a lady forgot her password, as she is known to do on days ending in "y".

    Not to be a complete smartass, but what day doesn't end with a 'y'?

    Um, according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Voyager_Program_-_spacecraft_diagram.png, Voyager doesn't have any solar panels. nor did Galileo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galileo_Diagram.jpg > Somehow I don't think a moon base would last long on 1 watt of power. RTGs don't provide a lot of power (yay for thermopiles) -- and I never said anything about moon bases.

    Cursorily is only like the 2nd non-terrestrial craft

    Bzz! Wrong. Voyager 1,2; Galileo; Viking 1,2; New Horizons, etc see wikipedia for a larger and more complete listing.

    Oops, I screwed up the formatting a bit. Sorry.

    Last time I looked, copyright had expired on that particular piece of music several hundred years ago. Sigh.

    On that particular piece of music sure, but was the rendition of that piece several hundred years old? No? I didn't think so....
