Hoho. Our CEO's PA would type up stuff in word for the monthly board papers, convert it to a PDF, print it, then scan it back in as a PDF to email it to the board members. Perhaps she went to the same school as the people at your bank...

You can only withdraw €60, and any Greek bank is worth at least €75...

I take it they don't require your signature on the document?
The only time I have had to do this is when I need to sign something - when it does make sense to print, scan and email it back.

Did you intentionally skip "Sign it" between print it & scan it?

It does? That does sound annoying, especially if the pointer is somewhere at the edge of the screen. It's been a while since I used VS, which version does this, or was it always like that?
The other ones, I've got used to them, I don't even notice it happens.

1. Are you sure that's Microsoft's fault; never happened to me (C++ or C# projects)?
2. One of the more useful features of Windows, I use it all the time.
3. Another useful feature of Windows, although I use it less often.

|

I use feature 3 the most of 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|

Hate to say it, but this all sounds like PEBKAC. Features 2 and 3 were based off feedback - I was one of said "jackasses" who asked for feature 2 because this is incredibly useful and I have never seen 1, having used every version of Visual Studio since VS97.

You have my 5 for feature 2.

One of our apps at work makes this behavior pretty obvious--it takes a while to load (lots of slow initialization to do, including connecting to a database), so I tend to mouse around while it's loading. Eventually the splash screen comes up on whichever monitor the mouse happens to be on when it's ready to show itself.

"Aero Snap" can be disabled from the Control Panel (the proper one, not the "don't-call-it-Metro" Windows 8 one).
Ease of Access -> Make the mouse easier to use -> Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen
(In W8.1, the label is "Change how your mouse works".)

"Aero Shake" can be disabled through Group Policy[^], or by setting a registry key[^].

Thanks. I turned this "feature" off.
Not sure how everyone got Visual Studio off of this because I never mentioned VS

My favorite map site is no more.
CNET had the STORY[^] way before I did.
They (meaining Yahoo) ANNOUNCED[^] it (3rd bullet point) weeks ago (which I also missed) and today I see that they were telling the truth.
Some guy on the internet said to use http://www.here.com[^] and you will, supposedly, get the same data as yahoo and a zillion GPS units use.
No clue if he was correct.
