Don't even get me started on all the Mac - alt-desktop, Mission Control, that thing with all the clocks, that useless view where I can see one app shrunken in the middle of the screen, but if I try to click on it nothing happens, fullscreen with no indication how to get out of it, and 20 other weird bull**** views that I don't need.

Oh you were just trying to copy and paste in your text editor, but the focus was on another app while you hit some magic combination of keys? Well here's some weird view you've never seen before and can't escape out of. Good luck finding your way back home.

ICWUDT. Nice blend of the two derails!

I never understood the thinking behind OS X widgets, and keep waiting for them to be quietly phased out. Occasionally I'll get them to pop up by mistake and I'm like "Oh, you're still there. Good for you, widgets!"

Looks like they're officially on their way out:

No one likes using my mbp because I swapped the command and control keys.

Copy should always be ctrl+c!

Whatever happened to manbearpig? "And then we had sex," lololol.

he made a new account and kept posting in oot

Fair point. Done.

That manbearpig thread was quite a thing!

"every once and a while"

The manbearpig thing was outstanding

I don't even like the things, but people complaining about participation trophies has now reached the point of being more annoying than participation trophies.

A birth certificate is a participation trophy for the human race.

Yeah and **** birthdays too. You celebrate after you cross the finish line, not in the middle of the race. Throw me a party when I'm dead.

I'm most definitely stealing this line.

I actually quite like that as a thing.

You get one birthday when you're dead. Only more if you significantly contribute to the species.

Einstein can have his bday celebrated every year for example.

Throw me a party all the time.

Was Manbearpig the one whose wife was screwing the golf pro?

Yeah that's him.

Yeah I did the same for the first 6 months of switching. Now I'm pretty used to Cmd-c. But fixing the home/end keys to go to the beginning/end of the line (instead of whatever idiotic thing Apple thinks they should do) was and still is absolutely imperative.

Me and another OOT poster basically spent a couple days putting the clues together (stalking) and found him and the wife on FB. Not my proudest moment. In my defense I had no job at the time.

It's incredible how much you can find out about someone from FB, and how easy it is to find them if you know just a couple facts. You may block your friends list from the public. But it doesn't matter much unless all your friends do it too. Also there are still plenty of people who even have their wall open to the public.

MBP is a Ron Paul fan btw. That's the only secret I'll admit. I forgot most of it anyway.

When people schedule an Outlook meeting at work for a time period I clearly already have blocked off for another meeting on my calendar. Then when I decline said meeting I get a reply "What's a good time for you?"

Well since you can see blocked and open time on my ****ing calendar how about an open slot? Which is what you should've done in the first place.

Edit: Not really piss me off level but it's an annoyance when people say "from a ______ perspective". For example "So from a getting caught up perspective we need to..." or "Well from an employee morale perspective, I think the best idea is...". Not sure if anyone else experiences this but I hear it at least 50x/day. Significant annoyance.

Today's Quora digest:

- I want to become rich. What should I do?
- How can young adults plan to be a millionaire?
- What's a strategy for me to realistically have a $10 million net worth by 40?
- What are the best ways to make money?
- What's it like when you first arrive to Wall Street, in hopes of making a ton of money?

Just **** off already.

I finally, for once, remember to eject my flash drive from my Mac before just yanking it out - so I don't get that "You've just ejected an unsafe operation" or w/e message.

I'm so proud of myself. Then I got not 1, but 2 messages just like this:



Macs man, you can't win for losing.
