  1. Re:CTRL+ALT+DEL with one hand on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 0

    What the hell? Thumb on alt Index (curled striking with top of top knuckle) on Ctrl Middle on Del Ok, I've tried your's a few more times and found away that doesn't induce pain, but mine is still better. It's even easier left handed, although the hand has to travel farther. But 75% of the time I just use 2 hands, since they're both there anyway.

    It's turned on by default when you join a domain.

    Stranger in a Strange Land is the first and only book I've ever thrown in the garbage after reading it.

    Line 3 should have have a :) and Line 4 should have had a :P.

    I have them sent to basic windows training. That way their boss knows damn well they just had to spend money because they hired an incompetent boob. Looks bad for the boob and looks bad for the boss. Boob maybe learns something and the boss stops hiring boobs. Boobs don't get fired because nobody fires a boob after they've sent them to training. Everybody wins except for the boob hiring boss.

    I don't think it takes a mental giant to understand the slapping thing was a touch of hyperbole.

    As for the evolution of the language? Sure, bring it on. That is, let the language change when it needs to. Sometimes these things need to be killed before they get started. People once actually adopted "tubular" and "gnarly" in every day use. Are you going to argue that the english language was better for it?

    You seized on an opportunity to criticize me for using a made-up word while objecting to my criticism of made-up words? In the immortal words of Jay, and not of his partner Silent Bob, "That's pretty funny."

    Whoops! Got me. It happens. It was an automatic function of my fingers typing a valid word that sounds the same but means something different. I type "their" almost 100% of the time when I mean to type "they're". I type "you're" almost 100% of the time when I mean to type "your". Don't even get me started on "peice"/"piece".

    99% of the time I catch it before I'm finished typing the next word and correct it. This time I fucked up. Somehow I'll manage to sleep tonight in spite of this tragic error. Anyway, I prefer an honest mistake over being an idiot in an attempt to impress others with your tech-savvy geekiness.

    I'm guessing that was my only mistake (I'm feeling too lazy to go check), or you'd have likely quoted the rest. Come back when I'm as bad as Taco.

    Google usually does a better job of finding what I want on Microsoft's site than the MS search engine does too. I never bother to search microsoft for anything. I use google to tell me where the microsoft info is.

  9. Google as verb on MSN Planning to Take on Google? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If someone told me they were going to google something I'd slap them upside their stupid little noggin. "Search" is the word you're *ahem* googling for people. See? That's stupid isn't it?

    The cutesifying of language is reprehensible. Nobody I know says their going to google unless they mean that they're typing "www.google.com" in their address bar at that very moment. Real people perform google searches.

    Yeah, the only people that could defend Shatner's interview are hopless geek fans. There's nothing wrong with being a hopeless geek fan, mind you. But that's what was going on there. If he was too busy to answer properly his manager would have rejected the interview in the first place and he wouldn't have even heard about slashdot. This interview was great. I've never used ReiserFS, never even looked into it. I'll at least be going as far as looking into it now.
