On the Galaxy Nexus, it is hit the power and volume down buttons at the same time and hold.

Power button snoozes the alarm so I guess that is probably what I'm doing.

Hmm, that's odd. I have a Galaxy Nexus as well and just took a screen shot. I'm running 4.2.2 (because Verizon is SLOW getting updates out to its customers), sounds like they broke it between that and 4.3.
Are you running an official version or something like Cyanogen?

Official Version. I have an unbranded version. So it's the plain Android OS on it. (This exactly because the carriers usually are very slow at getting the updates out to the customers  ) didn't mind paying a bit more for the phone as I'm able to choose other benefits when extending my contract resulting more or less with the same costs counting phone + contract costs.
I've noticed that the usual combination of pressing the power + volume down button is indeed recognized. (As it does neither lock the phone nor change the volume). However it seems like no action is mapped to the combination...

Have you tried turning it off, and then back on again?

You're working for the Microsoft Windows Support line, aren't you? 
But yeah, turning it off and back on again was probably the first thing I did when I noticed that it didn't work.

Ah, how I wish I could have gotten the unbranded version. CDMA vs GSM is still all the rage here in the states and the two big GSM providers don't have great service where I live. At the time there was no unbranded CDMA and I'm still not sure there is.
Plus if you buy the phone outright, they give you no discount on your plan. In fact Verizon's CEO has said that the would love to end phone subsidies but if they do, they won't lower the monthly bill. They tried it and people here hated it. Idiots looked at the up front cost and saw hundreds of dollars more with a slightly lower bill every month, instead of a lower entry cost and a higher bill each month resulting in a higher end cost. The problem with people in general (and American's who have sh*tty money management skills in specific) is that they don't look more than a month down the road, they think "Can I afford the monthly payments?" and that is it!
I would still be paying to subsidize a phone that I bought. It's a flipping scam. T-Mobile used to offer discounts on their plans if you bought the phone. They got rid of that this year. But now with AT&T and Verizon, you can pay MORE to upgrade your subsidized phone sooner!
Let me pay $700 outright instead of $250 up front and then $25 extra a month for two years! I do not want to pay interest on things that can only hurt my credit! 
I didn't intend on this becoming a rant, but gods I am jealous of you.

The iPad has a similar problem, so maybe the fix is similar[^].
Will Rogers never met me.

I said I would!
The answer is EDULCORATOR.
Anyone for the Solution?

Oh, go on then

muse = ERATO
holding obscure dances = EDULCORATO

So following up on Clickerty[^]
I can confidentally say that my brain is in full working order today and I am able to process tasks like the good code monkey I am. One thing though, I've had much less sleep today as I had to drop my father off at the coach station at 4am. Yesterday (blue brain of death day) I couldn't think yet I'd had a respectable amount of sleep.
Anyone up for debugging the human brain line by line?

I tried debugging my brain. It threw an "Object not initialised" exception.

Self modifying code in an unknown language not necessarily limited by logics, sounds fun.

No thanks. Last time I tried to debug the bottleneck the flow has reached breakpoint and there was no option to resume. Only cold boot next morning helped.

Given that it is the second most common element in the universe, why are we running out of it?
I understand that it is important that we have balloons at parties, but I would have thought using it for MRI scanners was slightly more important.
Perhaps there should be a ban on trivial helium use.
There are other gases available that can fill balloons.
(although none as much fun when inhaled).

I'm picking up 4 large helium filled balloons for my FIL's 65th birthday party this evening.
To be fair I think it is a stupid idea and haven't paid for them.

Do you 'pick up' Helium Balloons? Surely the phrase should be 'pulling down' or something similar.

If the bubbles in jiffy bags were filled with helium would postage costs be less?

Well, I think that avoiding ammonia, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide is probably a good idea, but nitrogen is reasonably plentiful.

Balloons filled with that would certainly be very useful for eradicating clowns.

Gasses with a molar mass of less then ten escapes the gravitational pull of the earth.
The tiny amount of Helium there is, has been trapped under a rock layer.
This tiny amount has mostly been used for party balloons.
