[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;43117177]Places with restrooms that still have handles or doorknobs. I can understand paper towel dispensers with motion detection being expensive. I can understand sinks with motion detection being expensive. I can understand soap dispensers with motion detection being expensive. But for gods sake, make doors where all you have to do is push them open. I wash my hands but I know for a fact others don't and when I can avoid touching the handle of a Wal-Mart bathroom you bet your ass I want to. You just invalidate any washing you did when you grasp that door handle that Big Bubba who just took the shit of his life and didn't wash his hands also just used. I'm not even a germophobe but that shit is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] This is why I always open a bathroom door with a paper towel.
Everything, when I'm in a hurry.
[QUOTE=whatthe;43102493]Inconsistent use of Explorers address bar. You all know what I mean [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/q0pDTBS.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8g773vL.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I actually don't understand and I feel really ashamed that I don't. Explanation, please.
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;43124219]I actually don't understand and I feel really ashamed that I don't. Explanation, please.[/QUOTE] You know file paths right? Like C:/Folder/Folder/File.jpg or whatever? They don't work in that second window
[QUOTE=DatPolishGuy;43124328]You know file paths right? Like C:/Folder/Folder/File.jpg or whatever? They don't work in that second window[/QUOTE] Yes they do? Type the folder-path you want to go to in the file-name box and it takes you there :v:
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;43124366]Yes they do? Type the folder-path you want to go to in the file-name box and it takes you there :v:[/QUOTE] In the second window you can't do that, you can still go to a folder you want but you need to actually navigate to the folder instead of just typing in a address.

If you are really a Time Lord please tell this to my younger self.

But I guess Coyoteze is right, I always thought you could only do that in the first window.
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;43121481]I actually hate motion detection shit in bathrooms. Half the time it doesn't work, but as soon as you give up and turn around to leave it suddenly does what it's supposed to. Oh, and fuck motion detecting toilets. They ALWAYS. ALWAYS flush while I'm still on it, making a God-awful WOWOSJOHAHDAUHFIFS noise scaring the living hell out of me, and splashing water ALL OVER my posterior. Ughhh. Maybe it's just me. But I see your point, though.[/QUOTE] Put paper down on seat. Prepared to unleash the force of a thousand blue giants collapsing in on themselves when suddenly toilet phantom flushes and takes the anti-black death tissue with it. Systems failing, giving the blast doors all shes got captain. Shit or die, make your choice.
My previous headset's cable was so fucking long. I could go to the bathroom wearing them. Yasterday they got caught between my chair's wheels and the cable got ripped out from the volume controller thing.
[QUOTE=Reds;43121434]Here's what bothers me, people who say that without ever having ever seen one in person. [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/N64-Controller-in-Hand.jpg[/t] [I]HERE. HERE IS HOW YOU HOLD IT.[/I] Barely any games used the D-pad.[/QUOTE] Yeah no fucking shit. I think everybody knows how to hold the damn thing, you're not special in figuring it out. Doesn't change the fact that it has a whole useless third prong that forces you to hold your hands at an uncomfortable angle. N64's controller is crap.
I never found it uncomfortable, and I played my N64 games for long periods of time for quite a few years. I think a lot of people are just exaggerating.

[IMG]http://www.ps2cover.com/product_images/c/259/playstation-3-controller-sixaxis-white-1__02118_zoom.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://agard.pl/galerie/k/kontroler-xbox360-bezprz_13531.jpg[/IMG] The third prong is just useless. They could have put the joystick on the controller's body instead of on an oddly placed third prong.
In Paint.NET: [t]http://abload.de/img/pdnkjim9.png[/t] I often accidently click it and when you do, it will undo everything you've done in the whole project. The bad thing: The undo process immediately starts and it takes several minutes (if you've worked with the program for some hours) and you can not stop it. What's even worse: You can redo everything with one button but it takes several minutes again. Also, if you make one wrong click after the undoing process everything will be lost because it wipes all your previous actions. That button has no sense at all because you can just click on a specific action in the window and it'll make everything undo until that point.
You hold the N64 controller from the left if you want to use the D-pad or the center if you want to use the joystick, why is this so hard for people to understand? It's certainly not the best way to do things, but it was released during that awkward period where joysticks hadn't quite taken over the roll that the D-pad filled.
I was about to rant about the lack of buttons on the keyboard but in my search for images I discovered this miraculous "ESDF".
