Comments:
<0> on my home machine I have it just set to notify
<1> and i guess he moved the window so some of it was off the monitor real estate
<1> and he called me ina ****ing panic
<1> IVE BLOWN UP THE COMPUTER
<2> YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF LIVING IN A SHOTGUN SHACK
<1> he was apologizing
<2> YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF LIVING IN ANOTHER PART OF THE WORLD
<3> digidog: Google Earth started like that on my parents laptop
<1> "i know you bought this for me, i am so sorry"
<2> YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE
<1> so i showed him how to move a window by the title bar
<3> it started like 2/3 of the way down and to the right
<1> and he was AMAZED
<2> YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF ASKING HOW DID I GET HERE?
<3> so I maximized it
<1> yeah
<1> that was icing jet
<1> maximizing
<0> i can't deal with how many people run all their stuff maximized
<1> its amazing how older people like google earth too
<3> well, I moved the window and Google Earth didn't seem to remember it
<1> nerp, i wouldnt if windows had better snap-to functionality
<1> and autoresize
<0> i have all my **** laid out so i can run it all at the same time
<0> but my tasks are probably simpler than most
<1> yeah but thats a pain to set up when the technology should be easy not to have to
<1> vista makes it easier
<0> word/outlook and some irc chans floating on the desktop
<4> anyone familiar with techbargains.com and their credibility?
<1> no
<3> I was demoing some stuff for some guys at work, had my IE window sized to 800 x 600 (I run 1280 x 1024 at work). They're like "can you maximize it so we can see it?"
<3> well ya, I can, but then you won't know when stuf doesn't fit on 800 x 600
<1> ive abondoned 800x600 at work
<1> just because our intranet
<3> it's still our "standard"
<4> it seems to get more and more difficult to find an unjaded pricebot site
<1> it was for us for a long time
<3> although we're moving slowly toward 1024 x 768
<1> we are finally there
<1> and its nice
<0> i think websites should stay lower than 1280x1024
<4> digiwork, i wish my company would get off the 800x600 old wagon
<1> nerp, with ajax that will be a problem
<0> i will never visit a ****ing website that requires me to close things like the google sidebar
<3> ya. We do a lot of inhouse powerbuilder stuff, and the user community wants reports with like 28 columns
<1> more and more you will see inclusive webapps takeover the desktop
<3> then they complain they have to scroll sideways to see it
<0> i hate scrolling sideways to read paragraphs
<0> sounds like i'll be running less and less apps. :)
<4> nerp, no kidding
<2> TIME IS A MULTIVERSE... TIME IS A AFTERVERSE
<2> LET THE DAYS GO BY!
<4> that's usually means no bookmark
<1> as more people portal apps
<1> i ****ing hate portaled apps
<0> like when the idiot posts a 1600x1200 pic in a threaded discussion and then every post afterwards is one line that reaches across 1600 pixels
<4> i don't want my documents being transmitted online every single time i want to word process
<4> nerp, rofl
<4> exactly
<4> there are still people who think thumbnails are just resizing the original images with html code
<1> we are on a crash course this year to mvoe all major documents to a metadata based workflow
<1> its hard
<1> office 12 will make it easier
<1> we have documents that autoname upon save so they can't name the doc
<1> they must fill in the metadata fields
<4> isn't ms even pursuing online apllication servers?
<5> ASP is lame.
<5> Linus-: www.live.com
<4> whats that for?
<6> OMG
<6> WTF
<5> Linus-: check it out
<5> it's micorosofts 'Online' app portal
<1> asp.net ro0cks
<4> I'm afraid, dave.
<6> just watched battlestar galactica season one finale
<4> ah
<6> WTF
<6> adama can't be dead
<6> NO
<4> i have seen this before
<4> but had forgotten about it
<4> seems like its still in infancy
<7> wow. i might have inadvertently gotten one over on best buy. bought 2 SD cards for $45 each with $15 MIR. rebate said one per household. fine, i send one in and give the other to my mom to send in. she e-mails me tonight and tells me she got a rebate check . . . for $30?
<1> well there is a trend towards app streaming too
<1> and app streaming is just bizare
<1> </tbp>
<4> this is their counter to google's plans?
<4> pale_blue, cool!
<4> and good idea
<7> wonder if they sent me a $30 check too.
<4> rebates take so long it seems
<4> maybe
<7> yeah. i sent that in around the beginning of october.
<4> if you're mom made a mistake and claimed both, maybe not
<4> were they both on same receipt?
<7> not possible. i'd already sent mine out. and there was only one UPC in each envelope.
<7> yeah, two were listed on the receipt.
<4> so a copy of receipt wasn't needed?
<7> best buy gives rebate receipts.
<4> i would imagine they scan those to prevent such duplicate payouts
<8> Gareth, he's fine
<8> Gareth, sort of
<4> but I'm sure its far from a perfect system!
<4> pale, oh that's right, i remember getting one of those from best buy
<8> Gareth, do you have season two yet?

<6> thuryn: yep, thank god for torrents
<8> my wife has a Pilates DVD. i don't know wtf the ball is for
<6> all the way up to ep 10
<4> Pompous Pilates :)
<8> pompous?
<6> the ball is for isolation of muscle groups
<4> instead of Pontious
<8> ah

<8> yup
<5> i used to have ***ual thoughts about my aunt
<4> sorry
<5> and her weakened mental state
<6> ...wtf
<4> hehe
<4> tmi
<6> in or out of context, that
<6> that's goddamn weird
<8> Gareth, do you want to know what happens, or do you want to be surprised?
<6> I'm going for the surprise, thanks
<8> k
<8> you won't be disappointed. ;)
<6> I've heard it's awesome
<6> and it's been so this far!
<4> sartan thought he could ward off his aunt by giving her pedo-cures
<5> naw
<5> but i did
<5> and her daughter baby
<5> babay daughter
<4> michael jackson needs a good pedo-cure
<4> and i don't mean symptom relief ;)
