Not for that feature -- why would you buy software that has features that are of no use to you?

We just had a pot luck lunch in the office for Halloween.
Firstly, no one brought bacon. Yes, I know I only have myself to blame.
Secondly, I ate too much. Much, much, much too much. All sorts of things like chicken curry, tamales, wings, croissant filled with turkey or ham, etc., etc.
The killer, of course, was the strawberry cream cake. Why did I have to have 2 pieces? Groan...

Sounds to me like it's just as well there was no bacon.

If there had been bacon, he wouldn't have needed to eat anything else...

We got taken to an Asian fusion buffet, and they had mushrooms wrapped in bacon, now asia does not have the same attitude towards bacon as western tastes, so when I started loading up the plate with these little tasties and stated loudly that ANYTHING, well food, wrapped in bacon is good I got some really strange looks!
And yeah I ate way too much, I hate buffets.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Because some other sunshine finished it before you could have a third?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Latest End User Story:
Had a user who wanted to confirm a change to a benefits setting in human resources. I suggested that she go to the human resources site, look up the contact information there, and then send them an email.
She wanted to know where to do that and started to look for a way to connect to a website in Outlook.
The sad part is that she has one of those light weight LCD monitors which means I couldn't toss it through the 3rd story window and throw myself to certain death - no, I had to stand there and break out in a cold sweat, worrying about humanity.
I miss those old CRT monitors.
Now if you want to commit suicide by jumping out a window you have to throw yourself against the window repeatedly - you'll bruise yourself and throw out your arm but you'll never get through it.

My dad once saved the life of a window cleaner on the 19th floor of a building whose cleaning rig had collapsed because he had taken in an Allen key to allow him to open the window fully when they weren't supposed to be able to.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Careful, Microsoft is listening. This will be in the next version.

That's a point: can you still add web-sites to the "active desktop"?
What a complete waste of development time that was -- although nowadays, with web-apps abounding, I suppose it might have some small use.

The thing I loved about CRT's was the possibility that some kind hardware soul just might give me the capability of connecting the high voltage supply in the CRT directly to the keyboard, under software control.
User-friendly my ass; I want user lethal.

The thing I miss the most about CRT's is the degauss function after a good magnet session.

I'm struggling with some of the formatting issues, like how this example site[^] ends up totally hiding the sidebar and changing the menu to a drop-down icon, as I would like to do the same on this site I'm developing.[^].

Look at the demo site and you will notice there are various media sections with min-width attributes defined in the dashboard.css file, and in each section various definitions for the same thing;
e.g. for sidebar class
.sidebar {
display: none;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 51px;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1000;
display: block;
padding: 20px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
}
}
You need to add similiar thing to your own Site.css file.

Ah! I had missed that somehow, or I thought I'd set it actually. I'll have to double-check. Thanks!

This[^] is probably the best place on CodeProject for that sort of question.

True, though I was wondering if there was some Bootstrap-specific site people go to (though of course, as I always discover, there is no peer to CP!)
