What do you mean? This is not a bug, it's a Jeffeature!
-
Is that an officially sanctioned Discopaedia entry?
-
Why would you use it?
-
Gimp in single-window mode neither creates a new button in my taskbar for every tool panel nor lets me lose floating panels behind a maximized main window, all the while supporting draggable docking panels (and even floating panels if I ever feel the need for them).
Besides, there's never been a situation where I've wanted to move the main working area without the panels following it. I've always wanted to maximize or restore the main window and have the panels adjust to its dimensions.
If I want to hide and bring back all the panels I can just hit Tab.
Why would I ever want to disable single-window mode, indeed?

That is also known as, "is not broken as shit".

Why would anybody? Why would it ship disabled? These are questions nobody can answer.

Wow, that's mangled.

It was Denis Leary, wasn't it?
If you'd done "reply" instead of "quote reply" you'd see I left an HTML comment in there saying it was, indeed, Leary.

I guess it just makes more sense if you have multiple monitors.
-
I do have multiple monitors. SOMEHOW Paint.net lets me drag toolbars between monitors without fucking-up the window Z-order or the number of icons on the taskbar. SOMEHOW! AS IF BY MAGIC!
No, GIMP is just broken when not set to "single window" mode.
-
I'll admit I haven't used GIMP in awhile, just Paint.net

Huh? I had to view raw in order to see the comment? http://what.thedailywtf.com/raw/4285/287

discourse. if it's hidden according to rendering rules it's removed from cooked.
that means that @SockBot's signature is removed from markup and can only be seen in raw or when full quoting.
as seen here.
... TODO: change the datestamp to UTC as the rest of sockbot uses UTC...

No, I get it, but to be a pedant...that is not what was said. ;)
-
sorry, @abarker got this morning's pendant flag. try again this afternoon. :-P
-
Meh, I am not shooting for one.
-
they why be pedantic?
-
Well now. I thought I had put his name in, or else put a comment in to the effect that I knew who it was and was just trolling, so that if anyone later tried to claim I didn't know who it was, I could point to that, but I guess I forgot. I did look it up when I made that post, so I knew it was Leary. Oh well.
-
No worries. <only one person here claims to be perfect>
-

Because, AFAIK, there is no way in single-window mode to see two images at the same time. If there is a way, I have yet to find it.
-
Wow. You're right. They ripped-off the fuck-ups in Paint.Net's UI too.
And when trying to see if you could do it with the Open With... command I find that GIMP doesn't bother to register itself as being capable of opening .png files, haha. Despite adding a "edit with GIMP" action. Dumbshits.
For the record, SuperPaint 3, circa 1993, did that correctly as well.
-
Good point.

Machine in building has decided to only take exact change.
Won't take any coins - they just drop through.
Will take $1 bill. One. Not two. Only one.
Fargin Pop-Tarts are $1.25.
Filed under: I guess the guy doesn't check on this machine 'cuz it doesn't make him any money. I wonder why it's not bringing in money??

We have a machine at work with an LED display that says:
ICE COLD COCA-COLA 42.0°F
That is not "ice cold." The machine contains juice, energy drinks and water, but not Coca-Cola; that's in the refrigerator — for free.
-
Cokes are free. Water costs.
I think we've moved past 1st world problems to 0th world problems.
And all restaurants are Taco Bell.

The vending machine where I work is like that. It'll get to the point where it'll take 2 quarters, but all the items are $0.75. RAGE. Fortunately, the idiots in one of the other offices don't realize it, but the thing will still usually take nickels and dimes, so I usually don't have a problem. Or you can put in bills.
At least until a pack of them--really, they're mostly nice people, but judging from the abuse the machine sees, and the way the bathrooms have been occasionally mistreated, some of them are just animals--jammed up the coin slot, and then broke the bill reader.
Until that point, you'd think the guy who owns the machines would start coming out more frequently, right? Nope--sometimes he forgets for a couple of weeks. That's usually bad because when he does come back, he seems to be unclear on the concept of rotating stock: I've seen stuff in there that's been expired for 2 months. And while some foods can handle that, most small bags of chips and the like can't.

Have you left a note, or written a sternly-worded letter to the vending machine company?

A recent Korean Air Lines flight was delayed when its chairman's daughter, who was also vice president responsible for cabin service at the airline, ordered a senior crew member off the plane. The crime? Allowing her and other passengers in the pointy end of the aircraft to be served bagged macadamia nuts instead of nuts on a plate.
The executive, Cho Hyun-ah, resigned Tuesday amid a storm of public criticism in South Korea.

I'm too lazy to find where that was already posted.

Here? I don't remember seeing it.

Unless it was posted in one of the few topics I'm ignoring, I don't think it was posted here.

You probably saw it via Instapundit or wherever I saw it. (Note: If that was here, it still applies.)

We're arguing about where I saw it, not him.

You are, maybe. If yoy call that arguing.

I came across it from Althouse. I don't directly follow Insty (who has time?). I just go there for the best stuff (or so I assume, since other people highlight certain things).
-

Hmm. I don't actually remember now where I saw it, but it was somewhere on that spectrum.

For the most part you can just hit his site a few times a day and spend a couple of minutes there. I like to collect interesting links into tabs to save for eveining.

Bought a new tub of ricotta cheese. It's sealed under the lid with clear plastic. There's no tab to easily peel it off, so I had to cut it with a knife. The plastic is of such quality that it won't rip cleanly and I ended up ripping it into a bunch of little pieces.

ended up ripping it into a bunch of little pieces.This reminds me of a slightly more serious and common first-world problem. For the past few years (at least where I live) there has developed a custom of encasing a product in thick clear plastic. There are no instructions on how to open it. You have to get a pair of industrial-strength scissors and cut it open. The plastic is thicker around the edges, where you would cut it. It takes a little bit of strength to cut it. Even when you have cut it, you are not home free. You must either do more cutting, which is still not an easy task, because you must get the scissors between the plastic and the contents, or grab some cut edges, and using a little bit of strength, tear it open.
I would imagine that there are a lot of elderly people who must find a younger person to open such packages for them on a fairly regular basis

Yeah, the first world already
fixed thatfound a work around.FTFY
The fix is a better packaging technology.
-
Yeah, the first world already fixed that.
no. the fix is to buy only amazon approved frustration-free packaging.
-
I was trying to figure out why they make it so difficult in the first place, and I suspect that it's done to deter shoplifters, which does not apply for mailed goods.

My problem: I am eating poptarts for 2nd breakfast.
:) They fixed the snack machine!!
It stole two dimes from me... :(

-
Doesn't sound very fixed.
After only selling $1.00 items for two weeks,
it sold me poptarts. You may debate whether that is good or bad, tho.
