Right. You should keep on driving until sober.

I have already lost my car. Twice actually.
First:
- Was driving the kid in town to a birthday party, and was late. I rushed into a parking silo, parked, and run with the kids to get in time at the scheduled hour (the group was to leave, so being late meant catching up the group, etc...). As we were back some four hours later : "Now, where is the car ?". 5 floors of about 1000 cars, parking layout made of 25 the same pattern !! It took me 20min to find my car back, walking through three floors of the silo with my little (and worn out) kids.  My daughter finally found the car "Here daddy, it it behind that wall". Indeed. Maybe I should have asked her right away (she was 3 at the time, so did not bother)...
Second:
- We have about six small parking lots at work, which get full (from the nearest to the farthest, guess why) progressively, but you can more or less consistently park on the same every day provided you arrive at the same hour. Was late, so did not find any empty parking spot, and finally decided to park on a visitor spot just in front of the company entrance. Did not remember when leaving work, and I actually walked past my car, then through three of the parking lots searching for my damn car. Then remembered. I do not know what had me most frustrated, the fact that I managed to completely forgot where I parked, or the (very) unneeded long walk and the fact that the car was ironically parked at the nearest possible spot.

Sometimes I have to ride my motorbike to find out where (the fresh Hell) I've parked the car.

I know someone who walked home from work and then when she got there remembered she had driven to work that morning so had to them walk back to work to get the car.
And a former colleague of mine would regularly forget where he had parked in our car park (it is quite large) so to avoid looking like a fool who had lost his car he would put his phone to his ear and slowly walk around looking for it, but looking as though he was dealing with a phone call before driving home. One day he was employing this tactic when the phone rang. It was his mate who worked down the road and had driven him to work that morning, he was waiting outside the main entrance to the site.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

So...you drove to the shops to get booze, and walked home with it? Or did you drink it in store first?

I heard it was caffeine to software bugs, perhaps a combination of both ?

If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming is the act of putting them in. Therefore, a programmer is someone who creates software bugs.
Just ignore the affirming the consequent fallacy, k?

Hello all,
I've needed to install Google Chrome to two users that go into specific web pages which don't work under Internet Explorer 
Given the fact those two users are not power users, I'd like not to change the "internet" face to them.
Now they've seen that chrome is storing all their navigation history and they don't want to get it there...
Is there any way to avoid Chrome to store the visited pages history?
I've read in the Internet that one can use the "Incognito mode" but it looks like this disables everything (cookies, password remembrance...)... There are other people that say that setting a file named "HISTORY" as read only will make it... others say that this corrupts Chrome and prevents it from starting...
Anyone here knows of a way to keep Chrome (which I start to hate it) and to avoid it to store the list of visited pages?
As always thank you in advance!

That looks good, in fact, is one of the resources I've found... later I've found another one that was saying this corrupts Chrome and you have to end reinstalling it...
