[Julius Clonkus]

Today, I moved my desk chair and it touched my computer case. Slightly. Cue the case slowly, dramatically toppling in all its physics-defying glory just to mock me.

An entire hour wasted to fix the calamity that ensued amongst the hardware inside the damn thing.

[alway]

and I swear he jammed that damn thing in my tongue.

Could just be he poked a nerve with the tip of the needle. When getting some of my teeth drilled, the needle must have done such to me, as it felt like the tip of my tongue was being stabbed really hard when the needle itself was in the far corners of my mouth.

From personal experience, your PC will remind you of that calamity for as long as you have the hardware inside it. :|

The US threatens Spain into passing the the Sinde Law, a Spanish equivalent to SOPA.

I've been told I'm hilarious to watch when I get pissed off at something I can't do anything about.
If there was anyone else here I'm sure they'd be rolling around laughing at my twitching face.

Wow. The US is only slightly less tactful than thugs running protection rackets.

"Yous like your legs? Wes like your legs too. Wes would hate to see your legs broken because you won't give us any money."

I feel like other countries should be standing up in the UN to go "Uh, excuse me? What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

On the bright side you could always move to North Korea. They only break one of your legs ;P

All of the computers at work were upgraded to Office 2010 this week.  Do not want.  Everything is broken.

[ChairmanPoo]

The US did not have to threaten Spain into anything. That was just for show. Our shitty politicians eagerly jumped into this. Both the PSOE, who were the ones who prepared that law, and the PP, who actually approved it. (They readily agree into this stuff, and in bailing out banks, and cutting social spending, despite their supposed rivalry. In practice their enemity is as real as WWF fights.)

I doubt very much this half-assed censorship law will be effective at anything, but I'll be damned if I shit quietly over this outrage. Or any of the other bullshit they've been pulling out as of late

Cue complaints of not being able to open files elsewhere due to the extra x in the extension by default... (unless you were using 2007 previously)

Upgraded from 2003.  This had already been an issue for a long time, because the IT department was working with 2010 while the rest of us were still behind.  For over a year, there were excel sheets that everyone was supposed to be using, but only a couple computers in the office were actually capable of opening them.

Had some weird issues.  I had to do a couple hours of searching to figure out how to remove the damn pointless status bar that's as big as a truck for no reason.  The monitors here are fairly low resolution, so I'm anal about my screen real estate.  It was just a simple checkbox in 2003.  Now I have to set up a VBA macro.  Why?  I don't understand the point of this whole ribbon thing, either.  The worst part is the workbook I do all of my work in suddenly refused to copy/paste information from one cell to another.  Could not fucking figure out why.  Finally gave up and copied everything into a new worksheet, and now it works fine.  WTF.

[Aklyon]

Newer Office versions are rather crappy compared to before, I'd say. The only decent use of a ribbon-like interface I've used was the one in AutoCAD Architectural for a dual-enrollment course, and that was because you really only needed the one biggest section in that class generally and everything was both icon and text, or right-clicks.

Why people cannot just use save-as and then actually pick something besides the problematic default, I don't know.

[scriver]

My father was just grouching about how the word for train conductor has changed from "konduktör" (from conductor, obviously, or more likely conducteur) to "tågvärd" (which directly means "train host"). This from a person who regularly whines about how the Swedish language is "dying" because we (at all) borrow words from English rather than making up our own.

I graciously refrained from pointing out what a fucking idiot he is.

[Vorthon]

Charles Adler is infuriating. That is all.

in know a Alfred Alder but the fuck is Charles?
