Thursday morning linkage

  • What was I saying about misusing the power of education? Man would I have done poorly at that school.
  • This is a computer-generated image. I would have been fooled. Is there a Turing test equivalent for this kind of thing?
  • The idea of Statler & Waldorf doing a Siskel and Ebert routine is pretty solid gold. Somehow they manage to blow it, though. Maybe it’s the commercials, maybe it’s that the voices are not even close, maybe that they aren’t crusty enough, maybe that they don’t even really review the films, just use them as takeoffs for not-so-funny gags…
  • Am I the only person in the world who didn’t know that F2 was the shortcut for rename in Explorer? Man, the amount of right-click/scroll/select time I could have saved…
  • Am I also the only person in the world who didn’t know that when you get one of those ‘Yes’/’Yes To All’/’No’ dialogues, and what you really want is to say ‘No To All’ that you can do that by holding down SHIFT and hitting the ‘No’ option? With just those two things the number of times I shift to the CLI is going to drop by about 50%
