This is the first time I've seen 'alt-f4' advice used in a legitimate fashion... 
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde
Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

It seemed a tiny bit gentler option to the 3-finger salute[^]. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

There was no dialog box.
Unless blue bars at the right of the screen are now dialogs...

In works on whatever is active (has focus), not just dialog boxes. It still works in W7, don't know about Weight or When, Did you try it?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The other day I got contacted by a manager at the Big River, the online book-and-everything seller, who said my C++/STL/Boost background made me an ideal candidate to work in their office in Cambridge, UK.
Which is flattering and all, but I recall hearing they're a horrible place to work. A cursory search brings up a fair few articles to that effect, but also ones arguing they're not worse than other behemoths like Microsoft, Facebook or Google (mind you, the friends I have at Google are all very happy with them, so they might be an exception).
So I'm curious to hear if any of you have any opinions?

If you've got nothing better at the moment I'd say go and find out for yourself.
Looks good on your resume, and if you decide it's a horrible place to work you can quit and call it "culture mismatch" or something.
Never regret the things you didn't do.

No, I've got a job I'm quite happy with, salary-, perk-, and commute-wise. I've worked on the outskirts of Cambridge (Fulbourn business park) before, and that was usually quite okay. This looks like it's closer to the town centre, though.
|
|
|
|
|
Never heard of them and couldn't find any reference to them when googling *shrug* I've worked in Cambridge before, nightmare town for traffic 
|
|
|
|
|
That might be because that's an alias, to avoid putting by name next to theirs.
There can't be that many big online book sellers named after big rivers, can there?
|
|
|
|
|
 now I feel quite the fool 
|
|
|
|
|
I googled all the UK rivers I know, and none of them seem to run a book selling business.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Anyway, I know someone who works for them in the US and says they are wonderful (that is if we are talking about the same company.) They have tried to recruit me a few times but it wasn't worth it for me.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

i think it's a pretty unpleasant experience for the drones (the human ones at any rate!) who actually move stuff about. I suspect it's probably a bit better for the ones that sit down all day!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

And by the weekend we will have a nice white landscape and blue skies, so that I can charge the batteries and take a video from above. That reminds me to finish editing the last video and upload it.

I read "Wool" instead of "Woo!", it really changed the meaning of the next phrase...
