Not bad, any Geuze will do. Or Rodenbach for a non-sweet cherry taste.

@Rhywden I like Cherry Coke: doesn't taste like marzipan to me
-
@Rhywden said in 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD:
tasted like Coke mixed with marzipan
@japonicus said in 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD:
strange somewhat almondish stuff
That's a major component of the flavour of cherries, and is particularly concentrated in the cherry pits. Which are bad for you (cyanide is like that).
I'd rather not have Coke at all, and just have some nice marzipan.

@antiquarian Did you mean "fixed that for Darwin Awards"?

All he was missing was the wooden table.

@Magus said in 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD:
somehow the worst tasting thing ever. Which makes no sense, as I definitely like both of the flavors that go into it
I felt the same about cheese scones and also pickled eggs.

New scrollbar behavior in the next Windows 10 build.
The panning indicator now appears when you move a mouse over a scrolling region and the full scrollbar appears when you want to directly interact with it. This improvement will be visible in any app that uses the Windows 10 Creators Update SDK.
-
@anonymous234 Copy feature from OSX and iOS? Check…
-
@anonymous234 Yeah. Hate it.
-
@dkf And most Linux distros! Although they probably did copy it from OSX.

Completely hiding the bar and thumb is just evil when one wants to keep track of your position in a long document / page.

@JBert I was using a webapp today that managed to put three scrollbars on a single text area. I still couldn't scroll far enough right to see the end of the line.

Feature request: Make it act like the Mac's Dock at the bottom (where it expands and grows ( ) as you move the mouse over it. Because screen estate only matters when you're using it, right?

@coldandtired That's a bad idea, yes, but that's because cassettes weren't a good format in the first place.
-
@dkf now we just need a Kickstarter for something like the promised ZX Vega, but with built in cassette reader like this.
-
@dkf I think it's kind of cool. Its problem is it's about 30 years too late.
-
I just can't see this ending well. Social network eleven-billion-and-one and also targeting a niche market.
Even in the event it is somehow successful the big boys will then notice and have your secret-sauce reimplemented and added to their platforms faster than you can spit.

Perry Hughes admits the family "panicked" when Facebook launched its Sports Stadium for sports fans in January 2016 but these days he does not consider them to be GameDay's rivals.
In fact two Facebook execs have joined the closed trial, he claims.
I wonder why they joined... I mean, it can't be to scope out the competition and respond with their own, much better funded version, could it? That would be unpossibru!
-
@Cursorkeys Felt bad for them reading that. These poor morons will lose their house for nothing.
-
@Cursorkeys That story reminded me of this video, which is a similar story of a very bad decision.

They may be interested in buying it. That's gotta be the family's goal (even though they deny it).
-
@boomzilla That's also a possibility.
-
@RaceProUK Dumber things have been bought for 10 figures.

@boomzilla
I'd buy that for 1,000,000,000 crowbars?

A visual, drag-and-drop programming language where the individual blocks are Unicode code points and there are no keyboard shortcuts.

@ben_lubar Replace Unicode with 16x16 bitmap icons and you've got LabView.
So, yeah. Bad idea.
-
@coldandtired A Walkman is rectangular and only a bit larger than a cassette.
This seems a lot more inconvenient.

That has to be the most annoying to watch kickstarter video ever.

@anonymous234 the bad idea is posting a gifv link here that doesn't work on mobile chrome

@wharrgarbl no repro with chrome 58.0.3929.83 over android 6.0.0.
It even autoplays ( )
-
@wharrgarbl I think it's because mobile Chrome stupidly refuses to play videos unless the user taps play, and there are no controls here so the user can't tap play.
There is no autoplay if Data Saver mode is enabled. If Data Saver mode is enabled, autoplay is disabled in Media settings.
It's probably that then.

@Tsaukpaetra So, Google felt they had to enable autoplay because web devs are colossal arseholes who think forcing anyone to download a 900kB GIF instead of a 200kB video is acceptable.

No, web developers couldn't use 200 kB videos instead of 900 kB gifs because Google didn't allow autoplay for videos.
Maybe, to be consistent, they should just have told the developers to put the MP4 files in an <img> tag.

You mean they couldn't force this shit we don't want on us, so they cheated with despicable hacks.

A fix would be putting a play button on the gifs. But maybe they didn't care because gif videos are doing it wrong.

And then they add another MB or 2 of libraries just for the play button on gifs. And/or load the whole gif in the background anyway.

McAfee VirusScan anti-malware technology will ship as a pre-installed solution for Samsung Galaxy S8 starting in April of 2017, and is available in Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 edge, S6, S6 edge and Galaxy Note 5**. No additional purchase is necessary.
Bad idea: shovelware on a $750 phone.
