RE: Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition
And as part of "not using turn signals" (and probably already covered up thread), this happens probably about 75% of the time for me.
Living in Vancouver, BC, I could probably come up with these all day.

RE: Spend $1,500 to save $150
I liked Linksys when you could do this:
All stacked and neat. They even made a NAS in this formfactor.
Now my network closet is a jumbled mess. I've a ASUS-N56U used as an AP, and a WRT160N used as one edge gateway.
Sure they look "pretty" (personally can't stand how they look), but they can't stack, and mount awkwardly.

RE: Do it my way or leave it
"Your business analysts and managers were too pre-occupied with whether or not they could use Excel to transfer data between two CRM platforms that they didn't stop and think if they should" *pounds table*

Just thinking that I have not seen that style of writing in ages.

RE: When even PHP programmers call each other lazy
Personally I think you should have to go through a competence test to use frameworks: if you can build something like it yourself, then you get to play with the grown up toys. If you can't, you have no business playing with one.
I'm reasonably competent in Java and C#, but for some reason I can't wrap my head around Groovy. -
RE: Windows 8 Mouse
Ooo, ooo, now do Pause/Break!!!
Windows + Pause/Break is of course handy for bringing up the System control panel applet to open up System properties to end up joining a computer to a domain manually. And to turn off visual effects, remote access, etc.*
But for Pause/Break itself, I actually had to it for the first time ever a few months back to pause a console data migration program while I fixed the webservice the program called.
*Not sure if there's a run command/keyboard shortcut to get right to System properties.

RE: Windows 8 Mouse
Also: let me fire up a copy of Excel here and see what Scroll Lock does...turns out, I figured out why Excel-junkies would want it:
It is very handy for Excel.
I also vaguely recall it does something really funky in Lotus Notes Email. Bad funky.

RE: Which is the bigger WTF?
For that kind of money, you can get a decent Insteon setup going, and start controlling more than just light bulbs.
With the right know and parts, you can setup a (relatively) cheap voice-responsive home automation system.

RE: Who needs a Budget?
Oh yeah, been there.
Yeah, we have a budget for five new servers this year, but when it comes time to finally relieve the burden on the 3 year-old Exchange/Phone System Reporting/File Server, there's no funds available.

Seems a classic case of someone knowing just enough to be dangerous.

RE: YouTube for Android never gives up
From memory it was dialup speed (9600bps or so) but I was charged by usage, at 0.55c/KB (half a cent plus tax). Never really used mobile data until I got my current plan which included 1GB of data per month. At least now it's 3G data.
I had GPRS service from Fido on my trusty iPaq 6315 back in 2004. It was $25 for 5 MB per month. They offered unlimited for $50, a plan that went away quickly enough, and a couple years back someone tried to sell theirs for $15,000 Not sure if he ever did.

RE: Title is required *little wiggle*
That's something that's bothered me for a long time. Dialogs used to be OK/Cancel, left to right. When did they start moving to Cancel/OK, or the analogous in this case, Exit/Install?
May be related to the everything-is-a-phone design camp. 90% of the world is right-handed. Most people would use their dominant hand to respond to a dialog on a phone, and having the usually-desired affirmative response on the right would decrease the likely hood of accidently pressing no.
