I do! In fact, I'm going on a trip for the weekend this Thursday

- I have done them all, but didn't enjoy the sides for in Windows and have settled for top for the taskbar (no auto-hide). I use the left for the OS X doc, and Ubuntu's top/bottom default has been fine (though I may switch back to an auto-hide left).

I used to keep my taskbar on the left, but I just do the default now. Too lazy to set everything up, just to be thrown off a bit when I use other computers.

How many people here use a lanyard to keep track of keys?

[Corel]

On Windows I have it to the default bottom left, as a result of years of interface conditioning.

However on Kubuntu I never even touch the taskbar; ALT + F2 all the way baby!

On other distributions I tend to just use the command line.

What is the mechanism psychology for hibernation? Would humans ever be able to do such a thing? I wish we could for the Winter months. I even made a name up for it and all; Siestamester!

Wherever I go, my lanyard goes.

[synkr0nized]

I am one of the only people I know, offline anyway, who has one.

I like camping but I'm such a brain-hungry person I often end up taking my DS for those long nights where you have literally nothing to do cause its so dark other than sit around and talk, just in case you run out of stuff to talk about (or hate the company you're with).

[Eltargrim]

If you are actually awake for those long nights, you're doing it wrong. The idea is to be so tired that you sleep from dark to at least dawn, if not well past dawn.

Or you could look at the stars, what with there being no light pollution and all.

My lanyard is for my flash drives. My keys are on a carabiner, as is my multitool.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Nah nighttimes when camping are for pulling super pranks on other tents and also playing cards with mad bluffing because the opponents can't really see your cards when they on the table. And for gin. Bottles and bottles of gin, the one and only camping drink.
Also yeah kayak camping is awesome. Last tie we went we had too much stuff so our kayaks were very low in the water and everything got soaked. Our tents dried out pretty quickly, our clothes not so.

People move their taskbars?


Why?

At school, I had to use OS-X, so I put the dock on the bottom to try to emulate Windows as much as possible. RTS games usually have their interfaces on the bottom also (I guess WarCraft 1 and 2 are exceptions, but StarCraft made the bottom the standard).

Also whoever posted the 8bit remixes neglected perhaps the best one ever

Edit: found a much better version.

New question:

When you're sick, what do you do to get better ASAP. Grandma's secret recipe soup? Sleeping all day?

Myself I tend to start drinking apple juice and cranberry juice (I don't like orange juice) and eating soup in hopes that it will fight it off. I have been taking some cold medicine but I ran out. Blah.

I tend to try and pump myself full of Vit C. Oranges or Vit C chews do the trick. Cranberry juice is also nice, as is apple juice. Depends what kind of sickness it is otherwise. If it's a stomach thing, I have some dry toast and ginger ale and try to lie down. If it's a cold, I blow my nose a lot to get the snot out and just try and take it easy.
