[QUOTE=gman003-main;28641833]OK, apparently I'm doing something horribly wrong with Excel, then, if everyone else is able to do it so easily.[/QUOTE]
You have to run two copies of excel from the start menu, I think. I just started one excel and then began a new workbook and I had what you described, but when I ran excel twice and opened the documents it worked how I got it to work.
[editline]16th March 2011[/editline]
Yeah that's how you do it. Excel handles windows using the windows-in-a-window method by default, and there are options to cascade them, tile them etc. (in the views ribbon) but it's not always as useful as having two separate windows.
I think you can also have two separate instance windows for the same workbook but I'm not sure how that works compared to the default method.
[editline]16th March 2011[/editline]
Nah you can't do that, if you want the same workbook open in two views you have to have them in the same instance of excel.

You know what's an asshole design move? The heatsink on the AMD Phenom II Black Edition. I spent at least an hour putting that on alone because I didn't want to snap my motherboard in half trying to secure the heatsink.

oh god this
seriously the amount of force needed to secure one of these things is so great that the first time I've worked with a Phenom II I thought I was going to break it

works with Hammer too, if that's what you're wondering.

Now try that with a Zalman CNPS9500a LED heat sink/fan and you really start to have trouble just getting the damn latch down. Hell I had to use a tool with two hands I still had trouble. Though I think that the 9700 has screws instead of hard to use latches.

Oh man, I just got excited all over again and it's gonna be Friday before my video card gets here, and then another several days for my games to download/install. Thank god I'm only installing a few. BUT Just Cause 2 and Mafia II are onl that list and they're fucking huge. (I'm getting them free with my video card :h:)
Manufacturers using CCFL backlights instead of LED backlights, when we have had the technology to do so for over 20 years. Asshole design move.

I think someone is going to call you out on that one.
I won't, since I'm not entirely clear on the area myself, but I've read that LED backlights have their own disadvantages from CCFL backlights.
Of course, I could be thinking of something else.

I beat Mafia II in 16 hours, and I could've gone faster if I was trying to beat it quick. Have fun.

Maybe so, but I see the pros outweigh the cons (if any cons at all).

955 BE or 555? The 955 was pretty simple for me, I don't recall having any troubles with it.

Yes
Then yeah, the Black Edition heatsink is what gave me trouble.

Different CPU sockets...
Why can't these just be universal in style? I know they change with the newer tech, but there is quad-core CPUs in socket 775, 1155, 1156, and 1366 for Intel cores... Why not just STAY with socket 775? Having that many different kinds of the same thing is what's keeping my rusting old computer where it is, or i could have upgraded machines a week ago >:[

[QUOTE=axon;28647458]New Architecture, new sockets.[/QUOTE]
still... it is annoying, the gear i found for the next upgrade of mine is good, but there is very few motherboards i can find that support DDR3 1333MHz RAM AND a Intel socket 775 quad-core CPU. All of the stockists for Australia are sold-out, and the manufacturers stopped making the particular board that accepts 4 1333MHz sticks...
Shit sucks mang :frown:
[editline]17th March 2011[/editline]
In-case people are wondering, the CPU and RAM arrived before the mobo, and when i found out the stockists won't have any more boards it was too late :gonk:
On the topic of asshole design moves, I'll mention one that is mostly just a minor annoyance really.
The CAPS-lock key, I have never understood WHY this button needs to exist. The need for me to write in all caps have been extremely rare, and in the occasion that I needed to do so I even more rarely ever needed to write more than one or two sentences. Holding down the shift key to do all caps is really all you need. I also hate when I accidentally press this button and end up writing long eye-gauging texts in full caps, or when a multiplayer game uses this button for some feature and I then accidentally end up talking in full caps with my friends because I forgot I had caps on.
It should perhaps be a feature of writing programs as certain written things are sometimes but rarely in full caps, perhaps it could be enabled the same way you enable bold or cursive writing. However I have never seen any normal conversation where the CAPS-lock was a necessity rather than a tool for trolls and idiots.
Wasn't this button going to be removed soon though from newer computers, or was that just on a particular brand of computers?
Caps lock indeed.
Though, in some games you can bind lower case and upper case buttons, so caps-lock is more useful than holding shift all the time in that kind of situation.

The Cr-48 removed it, but I don't know if it's going to go much farther than that.
Why haven't y'all changed what the capslock key does?
