Exit or Not?

The green sign above says it's an Exit (even Green for GO!!!!).
The signs to the left say 1st floor stairwell & "-> Exit this floor".
The sign on the door says "Not an Exit".

WTF? In case of fire, get stuck in logic loop, burn, die....GAH!

I've seen this kind of thing before. What you can't get from the image is:

1. The door is locked, so you can't get out even if you needed to

2. The door servers as an emergency exit only, so security measures have to label it as 'not an exit.' so they don't have to install cameras to watch it.

3. There's probably nothing behind it except a brick wall anyways, to ensure that those tempted to test the claims listed in counterintuitive fashion can't get anywhere without a sledgehammer.

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.
