Ever since i upgraded to IE7, one of my major annoyances was the way the menu bar is located. Seriously though, WHY did they have to move it?? Its just not natural for the menu bar to be UNDER something. I couldn’t move it either. It was annoying. Very…
Well…it seems as if a bit of registry editing will do the trick.
Here is how you do it. Copy the following text into a text file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser\]
“ITBar7Position”=dword:00000001
Its the stuff in bold. Save the text file, then change the extension to .reg
Double click on it now that it has the nice registry icon, and let it update the registry. Voila, your IE is fixed.
Now…if someone could figure out if its possible to make it not try to test if about:blank is a phishing site. It shouldn’t take 3 whole seconds to load BLANK. ….
Thanks Unhandled Perception!
You know….when I read this…my first reaction was…you have GOT to be kidding me. Watched the video, and thought…dear god thats stupid.
It works.
To spare you the video: take a car with locked doors. Take tennis ball with small hole in it. Place tennis ball on the keyhold, with hole lined up with the keyhole. Press the ball as hard as you can, forcing air into the hole. Watch in amazment and disgust as your car now magically opens. Watch the video on Crooked Brains
A psychologist, Piers Steel of the University of Calgary has created the equation for procrastinators.
U=E*V/I*D
Where, U=desire to complete task
E=expectation of success
V=value of completion
I=immediacy of task
D=personal sensitivity to delay
Wonderful…. 😛 Thanks for the nugget of genius 😉

Yes….forgive me for the pun. But, you can make google maps get VERY confused. Atleast, for a particular route…
Just look at the directions: Google Maps
Here’s a sample:

What do you do when you get rejected? (I mean for a job or something like that)
Well, Mr. Jensen has the ultimate way to reject the rejection!
Read his letter to a university that rejected his resume:
Herbert A. MillingtonChair – Search Committee412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson UniversityCollege Hill, MA 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, Iregret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer mean assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusuallylarge number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising fieldof candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience inrejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs atthis time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professorin your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,Chris L. JensenYa know..thats just great. Thanks nihar for pointing this out, and thanks Chaos Matrix!
Absolutely hilarious ad. Kudos to its producer!
What would happen if programmers were forced to build a plane?
This ad explores this idea…and I found it absolutely hilarious. Great video editing too
Whats funny, was that I could connect to this…after programming java for a bit with C++, this really rings true, and its kinda scary too 😛

Here they are…
1. You sit right next to a window but you still just look at your ForecastFox icon to see what it’s like outside.
2. You fumble with the TV remote for a minute before remembering that you can’t open another channel in a new tab.
3. Everybody else says “Google it” now, but in addition you can also Yahoo it, Wiki it, and eBay it.
4. Your sole measure of a celebrity’s popularity is whether they appear on Stumble-Upon.
5. You have to think hard to remember what a pop-up or a banner ad looks like.
6. You think Debian should have backed down on the whole Iceweasel thing.
7. Your distaste for Internet Explorer has branched into an irrational phobia of the letter ‘e’.
8. You message your spouse through ChatZilla to find out what’s for dinner instead of just going upstairs.
9. A web page without CSS looks naked to you.
10. Your spelling used to be terrible until version 2.0 came out.
Thank You Penguin Pete
Performancing and PayPerPost have decided NOT to carry out the deal. Interesting…its almost zero hour, and they cancel it. Generally…you’d want to have the deal set FIRST…then release it to the public, non?
Yes, there are some pretty bad websites out there….but this one…definately goes to the top of the list. Best viewed in IE, it loads flash, animated gifs, bright colors, horrendous banners, java, music background, and badly chosen colors, this….is just scary. See it here (we warned you)
Atleast…the url has /old/ in it…
Yes….this is kind of odd. Disturbing too…
Its a cow who has a surgically created hole in its side into its stomach. You take out the plug, and you see green mush moving around in it. Very…odd…watch it here
