Techno-idiots (Part 2)



Found over here:

You've all heard the line from the song "Things that make you go hmmmmm", well I suggest we apply a slight modification making it "Things that make you go DUH!".

Serious how could any even barely technology savvy individual think this was a good solution to the issue?

Maybe its a newfangled Capcha technology. Anyone who puts anything that even looks like a legitimate email into this box gets blocked.

Ya I've been reading about that.

I'm also very curious about the OpenSource FPS AlienArena.

About a year ago I fired up Q3 and went online to play, geez my skills needed work...I got complete owned. But I'll get it back. WoW isn't holding my attention like it used to and FPS games are easier to walk away from while playing.

Didn't even know about that one - but it looks pretty cool. I find, however, that playing TF2 and trying to get T5 are quite a ... consumption of what time I can put together. =)

Keyboard Shortcuts (Part I)

People often notice that I don't use the mouse as much as most people. Personally I find it much quicker to do a lot of tasks using the keyboard. Therefore I've decided to post a list of keyboard shortcuts from time to time. Hopefully you'll enjoy them and and find them useful like I do. When editing text: ctrl + arrow (Left or Right) > Move the insertion point left or right entire words. ctrl + shift + arrow (Left or Right) > Highlight entire words (left or right of the insertion point). double click > Highlight an entire word. triple click > Highlight an entire line (not sentence). shift + home > Highlight from the insertion point to the start of the line. shift + end > Highlight from the insertion point to the end of the line.

Something that perplexes me....

I just came across this bit about asteroid Apophis and the chances of it impacting earth . "NASA scientists have recalculated the path of a large asteroid known as Apophis and now say it has only a very slim chance of banging into Earth.. The Apophis asteroid is approximately the size of two-and-a-half football fields, and updated computational techniques and newly available data indicate the probability of an Earth encounter on April 13, 2036 for Apophis has dropped from one-in-45,000 to about four-in-a million, NASA stated." So here's the bit that rubs me wrong: "four-in-a million". Why not say "one-in-250,000". If the authors are really stuck on the whole "four-in" thing then they should have said four-in-180,000 to start with. I really find inconsistencies like this baffling, I wish I knew the author and could understand what they hoped to gain by reporting the number in this way.
