AnswerRe: Double clicking in ExcelmemberLiam O'Hagan3 Feb '13 - 15:55 
Double clicking on the border of a cell goes to the cell before the next non empty cell, in that direction.
 
(For example, double click on bottom border, it sets focus to the cell in the row above the next non-empty cell below the one on which you clicked)
I have no blog...

GeneralRe: Double clicking in ExcelmemberPaulowniaK3 Feb '13 - 16:01 
Ah, I see...
 
Except when the table is full, then it goes to the bottom of the table, which is bloody annoying when you have hundreds of rows!
 
Still don't see how this feature could be useful, but at least I now know what to expect.
ThanksThumbs Up | :thumbsup:

How phenomenally useful.

Did you know that you can use F2 instead of double-clicking on a cell. Depending on what you're doing, this may even save you some time since you can keep both hands on the keyboard.
RantRANT: stupid firewall software that won't tell you what it's really doing!!memberMatthew Faithfull3 Feb '13 - 15:05 
A certain dragon themed firewall that's running on my network gateway machine just auto updated an hour ago. I've now spent an hour scratching mt head, checking logs and rebooting machines to work out why the bleeeeeeep the laptop would no longer do dns lookup while all the desktops would Mad | :mad:
Looks like the firewall decided to start blocking my some but not all the traffic of my DHCP server without telling me, showing it anywhere in the UI or providing any option not to do it. The laptop was was the only machine getting its address by DHCP so everything else worked fine.
I know its free and all that but what itchy fingured twerp with nothing better to do decided that would be a good idea Mad | :mad: I only use it anyway because its the only thing I've found that stops Microsoft from killing my TV every six weeks but that's another tale of woe.
Right, rant over Sleepy | :zzz: now

I was using that on all of my machines up until a matter of weeks ago, when I found out that it was doing a *lot* of things that I had not instructed it to do.
 
The overhead of forcing it to do what I told it after every (frequent) update turned out to be higher than that of removing it and using another company's product.

GeneralUm, SPAM?memberdb7uk3 Feb '13 - 11:37 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but I think there is a massive amount of spam in the Quick Answers section. Personally I really wouldn't want to see any NFL stuff! Out of interest, is there any protection on the site or planned retinal scans per post to crack down on SPAM HAM?
GeneralRe: Um, SPAM?memberH.Brydon3 Feb '13 - 11:58 
I second this. I have also attempted to flag a few things and am met with "downvotes not allowed". Something broken? I don't think that is the way it is supposed to work...

Yes, now in Lounge. I really fail to see the point. Do people really follow any of the links? anyway, i'd like to setup a new network. "MAPS"! This network will be responsible for reversing the tyranny that is SPAM!

GeneralRe: Um, SPAM?memberMike Meinz3 Feb '13 - 14:35 
I flagged several as Spam and they were removed in a minute or so. I don't know if the deletion is automatic or if there is a moderator that deletes them.
GeneralRe: Um, SPAM?memberAbhishek Pant4 Feb '13 - 15:22 
Why are you continously editing spam posts?Please do not edit the spam posts as discussed earlier in plan to remove spammers just nuke them.

Ok

People keep trying to blame Africans and the Chinese for Spam, but Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are really to blame.

Nope.... I blame the parents!

So do I, if the parents were bluddy Vikings.

buying several Raspberry PIs and creating a kind of server cluster with them.
 
Why? Why Not?
 
I may also eventually expand the cluster into a kind of command center for my family's network.

I am doing this myself. I bought one of these and am blown away at the robustness. I bought another, and have 2 more on order.
 
So far I have made a linux doorbell which has amused me far more than it should. I think I might set one up as a file server and another as web server.

If you use an optical sensor for the button, you can have individual doorbell ring tones, based on fingerprints.
 

Just trying to prevent you from doing useful work, is all...

In all seriousness I have been considering doing likewise with the Mele A2000. By all accounts the USB based networking on the PI is not up to clustering but the Mele is. A friend I was working with till recently got one and started experimenting. We came up with a scheme based on a modified Qemu for tying a dozen of them together as a single NUMA machine. In theory you could even run Windows on it. Would take a couple of months work and more than a few dollars but it's a viable scheme.
