        I actually rather like No Doubt. I just don't like doubt and question being mixed up :)

            I've noticed that indians often use the word doubt instead of question. I suppose that's because some of the indian languages (might be a cultural thing) doesn't distinguish between the two.

              In WinXP, what is the purpose of Press Control-Alt-Delete to get the log on screen? Why can't that screen be displayed by default?

                      The purpose is to ensure a "trusted path". The theory is that the operating system will not allow you to hook that specific key combination, thus you can be sure that whatever pops up when you hit those keys is legitimate, i.e., a system component, and not someone's application trying to trick you to give out your password. That's the theory anyway. :)

                        Their employee manual used the sample user Jack Mehoff. I was the only one who had ever noticed this apearantly (it was a 400+ page tome). Had I been more cynical I should have sued :p

                          I don't think I have used the Scroll Lock key since the days of MS-DOS in the mid to late '80. If I remember correctly it stopped the text screen scrolling when you issued a DIR or TYPE command; or was that the PAUSE button? Steve Jowett

                              Excel uses it to allow the user to scroll around the sheet with the arrow keys etc but without moving the focus from the current cell.

                              The <`> key is is also used in VB and VbScript as a comment tag. She is certainly not a programmer, but she does like porn though. C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR . . . then the 22,000 files in that directory scroll past so fast I can't see their names. However, if I apply the pipe function at the command prompt like this: C:\Una\Lesbian Porn>DIR | more Maybe next time she will have her stuff proof read first. Too funny

                                  xfire, the new tiny and shiny clone of gamespy / All seeing Eye (ASE) and (enter ur favourite internet gamebrowser tool here) uses the sophisticated shortcut "Scroll Lock+Shift+X" to enable the ingame chat window (a layered window above the 3D-Screen to chat with your xfire-mates in the game, a neat feature, btw). So "Scroll Lock" is frequently used - at least on my game rig ;) Niclas -- modified at 4:26 Friday 4th August, 2006
