Stuey Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 edit:I also learned that the "return" key is in fact the same as the "enter" key. Why'd they call it return and isn't the backspace key more appropriate for that title? As has been hinted at, it's short for 'carriage return' - a throwback to the days of typewriters when you had to manually push the the thing back to the left to start a new line. I did not, however, know that return and enter are different! You really do learn something every day. Actually I wasn't joking, I was looking for 'TAB' on the key button.......... A bit like 'press any key' ANY? ANY? ANY?......... Edit. Oooh, thats useful! Believe me, I really am computer illiterate. On some keyboards it does actually say 'Tab', not all of them though. The nice thing about tabs is that they're in fixed places so they all line up, if you've tried to align text using only the space bar you'll have realised that it rarely lines up. Also do give alt-tab a go (it's super useful), and if you have a recent version of Windows, windows key+tab is the same but prettier. Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Not all tabs are placed equal. Again, a throwback to typewriters and teletypes, but at one point, they started letting people set the tab spacing... Also, a Tab is not equal to same amount of spaces... Stuff to be wary off when putting data up somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I learned that no matter how much humour you try and inject into a situation if someone is a truly grumpy sod they will stay a grumpy sod, even if you appeal to the kind of comedy they like. Some people need to lighten up. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I learned today that WE really don't have much of a clue about their own guns: Yeah, there single stack 1911A1 will take the same magazines as the double stack Marui Hi-Capa? I don't know what drugs they are on but clearly they are some good drugs. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Wild_XIII Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Let me guess you, wanted to change the magwell to M4 type? Surprisingly, no. I just saw pictures and read reviews. I don't really get on with the mag conversions for G36's. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I learned today that the charger for an iPad isn't man enough to actually charge it if you are using it, and the *bramston pickle* thing will shut down on you while plugged in.

Desolation mkII Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Turn your brightness down to about 20% and close any unless every apps and it charges mine, albeit slowly. On full brightness, it actually still loses charge.

It's down to 20% ish anyway (full brightness means permanently burned retinas, surely? It's the brightest thing ever recorded...), and I only ever have a couple of apps open. It's an iPad 3. I still am not happy with it, several hours after the event. Who the buggering *fruitcage* would design a product that does not charge if you are using it? Regarding the shed roof? Ouchy...

Desolation mkII Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 That's interesting and also sounds horrendously annoying. I had that problem abroad when I was using a non-Apple USB plug with the Apple cord attached and it would take about 24 hours to charge. But now it's on the normal charger I couldn't be happier with the battery. Link to post Share on other sites
