He could feel the room being charged with tension so palpable that the air felt electric.
Sometimes there’s an accident by the keyboard. This one came jumping at me (although it was originally in Swedish…)
MS Outlook laughs at your feeble attempts to use it…
Not only doesn’t it work, it laughs at you while you try using it… or well, it’s being scornful. I’m talking about Microsoft Outlook, that gave me the following comment (underlined red) when I tried to use it today.
So was the information helpful?… uh… I guess compared to faking that it can do the work and then tell me in about a week that sorry, I was just kidding, it is in fact helpful to get to know it cannot be done already on Monday…
Happy Monday!
Why the death penalty is wrong – in my opinion
Can you give life back to the dead?
I think the best reason not to use the death penalty is found in the Lord of the Rings:
“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
In my opinion, the largest problem with death penalty, compared to for instance life time imprisonment, is that death penalty is final. There is no going back from it. Once someone has been executed you cannot say, oops, we killed the wrong guy, sorry, here’s a settlement… If the wrong person gets imprisoned, even for many years, the wounds can still be healed, the person still be compensated, and life can go on.

Walking in the air – smoking what?! :P
So, I just came across this one:

I have to wonder… what where they doing when they came up with that text? It is just so wonderfully, spaced out! …and totally stoned… haha!
Unity tip: Open more than one instance of a program
In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, using Unity, if you have opened an instance of a program, clicking the application icon for that program again will only select the most recently displayed window of that program.
Clicking again displays all windows of that program in a scaled down version (á la OSX 2000 or similar).
However, in order to open a second instance of a program you have to mouse-wheel-click on the icon (I’m only guessing, but middle-button-mouse-click might also work, left-right-mouse-button click does not…)
Another way to do it is holding down the Window-key and Shift while pressing the number for the application you want to open another instance of. Holding down the Window-button alone shows the numbers (but the applications on the bar are numbered starting with 1, but excluding the “Dash home”).

There is at least one failed plan behind every success.
Violinists that are “crazy” – but good
Being a violinist means you have to be a sober, stationary person. Preferably a member of some philharmonic orchestra. Like this, right?
That you could behave like a rock star on stage is completely unlikely, or inappropriate, right? Or dance and play the violin? No way! True?
The glass cannot be refilled until it’s empty
I’m not so sure about the glass half empty / glass half full discussion, but I do know that the glass has to be emptied before it can be refilled…
Another, more important question isn’t if the glass is full, empty or half full/empty, but what it contains…
Happy new year
Oh, sorry… and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Of course 😀
