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.

"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: The software circles of hell: Java, NetBeans, Maven, Tomcat, and about 50,000 vaguely-named Java libraries
You ever try to install the Android SDK, blakeyrat? Right off the bat, there's an error that they've known about for at least a year where the installer can't find the JDK. You click Back, and then Next and it will go through. I don't have an ingrained hatred of these products (though I also had a fun experience with TomCat), but damn, that made me shake my head.
