Michael Jackson's first solo number 1 in UK but incredibly didn't even break the top 50 in US although that could be because it came from an album released 6 years earlier.

Facepalm moment of the day: When you click OK on the dialog that asks you to restart because you think it means "the program" and not "the whole flucking computer"!

Makes me feel better about mine...
Mine was when I sent a co-worker a statement to the effect of "Yeah, I guess playing 'Rock Paper Scissors' over email doesn't really work well, eh?"

I had three downloads going, plus one virtual machine AND I was listening to a radio podcast at the same time. Guess if I was pissed having to start all that again. Only consolation is that I feel slightly less than sober at the moment, I guess. Could there be a connection?

My worst face-palm moment was when I spelt "day" with an "h".
God, I was so ashamed.

Ok, you've entrigued me so much that I simply have to ask: Exactly HOW did you spell it? Dhay?

He was hinting at the title of your post... Do you even have a face left with all the palms you've given it today?

Ooops, I didn't even notice that... You're right: Another facepalm!

I think he must have amended the text of the posting, to hide the fact that he has to face-palm hourly.

When they go dead EXACTLY, when I had to give a critical reply to critical question during an argument with mates/Boss at work. (who are in other locations)
This has happened multiple times now. These type of chats we make is like the punches exchanged inside a boxing ring.
When you don't reply on time. (Damn, it has to be real time) A minute you delay, people sum it up like, 3,2,1, K.O! And get over the rings to announce the Winner. It's insane! 
I've suffered this often, so I carry a strip of rechargeable AA batteries wherever I go.
Today the battery in use, dies again. EXACTLY when I had to punch back. It just dies abruptly without any kind of beep or cursor slow down. It just went dead, right after an accusation was fired over me. It's like a missile coming down the trajectory. & people are waiting for me to respond.
Here, in my room, I was just pulling off the old battery and taking the ones from the strip. WTF! All of them dead. ALL of them! One by one like AK-47 rifle with fully of dummy bullets. 0 charge. And a fanatically blinking *Reload* *Reload*. I don't know how on earth they all got discharged. And finally I had to run in search of the tailed mate, that was deep buried under the e-rubble, long ago. It did help!
Whenever I return like this after a few seconds 'unexplained' wait, I'll be returning like Popeye-after-the-spinach. DAMN EM ALL with a backlog of punches in one go.

Wireless has it's place: but not for peripherals that never go far from the device they are supposed to be connected too...

I use a wireless mouse that has a wired option. The wire is a special usb cable that plugs in the front of the mouse and recharges it. I can use it in either mode. I use it wireless until it dies, then I plug it in and continue using it for a few hours until it is recharged. I unplug it again and carry on, repeat... It lasts a few days when wireless.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I like having my mouse wireless because it is moving constantly and the cord gets hooked on anything and everything that it can get hooked on but I am starting to prefer a wired keyboard as I have not owned a wireless keyboard that didn't have problems getting the keystrokes to the computer in a timely and organized fashion.

Get a wired trackball - you move the "mouse" with your thumb, and once you are used to it (takes a few days as you are using muscles to power your thumb that you don't exercise much) they are brilliant - particularly for delicate work as you can click away at the buttons without the mouse moving even slightly.
I've been using them for oh...more than twenty years now and I wouldn't go back. They are a bit slow for action games, but for sniping? Perfect!

You move the mouse with your thumb? What do click with. Your pinky crossed under your wrist? Oh wait, you're one of those sinister people, aren't you? Do they not expose them at birth in Wales anymore?
