Not enough hot Storybookland girls at Disneyland.

They need to bring back Tarzan. He was hot. I admit, Captain Jack Sparrow is hot... but Tarzan is shirtless.

Sigh, I have no self control.

A history of several of the pointless keys on a modern keyboard. As with the previous about ¢, the answer is essentially "the original computer keyboards were designed by engineers before the advent of home computing so they were useful for those old uses and because of the idea of reverse compatibility it is very hard to remove something that is already there.

In some programs you can. I did this on my work program.

Nah, most of the time they just call everyone stupid.

Since I'm using a laptop some of the time now, F5 is screen refresh and ALT-F4 closes the window. Function-F2 turns on and off the wireless antenna; useful for those frequent times when my connection drops. Turn it off then back on, and it works again. Hopefully.

I don't really like the touch-pad so I use keyboard commands whenever I can.

See, this is why having the Keel Boats was a good thing. It doubled the quota of cute guys.

Posted just for you.

When you are just about to climb that is the Grapevine going South and can't seem to manage more than 55 MPH, do NOT get in the fast lane - especially if there is a Blue Volvo already there who is easily doing 75 without effort.

Which reminds me...

(Forgive me, GC, for borrowing a bit of your rant space...)

To the asshole in the white Accura this morning:

When I changed lanes in to the huge space in front of you, I was not challenging your manhood. There was no need for you to suddenly weave madly through traffic in order to get in front of me – pulling in to the lane within inches of my front bumper. I sure hope it made your penis feel bigger.

I have come to accept that some people have no common sense. We don't usually see it, until they are on the road with us. I've also decided that it's not worth getting upset and worked up about - road rage.

It is what it is folks. People are going to be bad drivers. We can't change it, we can just change how we react to it.

Not Afraid · 11-06-2007, 10:59 AM

I like getting pissed off an drivers. It's a choice I don't care to change.
