Yes, I dropped it down the back of the lounge one night when I got a bit pissed. Found it the next day under the cushion, damn uncomfortable to sit on.

That was probably all the loose change, missing TV remotes, children you hadn't seen for a few weeks, that sort of thing.

I don't know how to phrase that without seeming to be rude...
Could you contemplate choosing a less "visually offensive" CSS for displaying your member name ? The frame around it is, IMHO, not of the best rendition. Plus it gives the wrong impression of a button.

I don't like the choice of the "Contemplate" word it sounds so ... I don't know ... rude.
The CSS is indeed a CP button, I don't know who does CSS for CP, you can ask the head of CP web division chap.

Yeah, precisely what I wanted to avoid, but I did not find a way to phrase it properly, sorry

I am actually asking you to think about not using that button display to highlight your name, because I find it somewhat out of place. My idea was not to request a change the CSS for every button on CP just to make the rendering of your use of the CSS for your name better
But this is only my humble opinion. I think it is too much, so others may find it too much as well.

Your requested was considered in the lower house of representatives and a vote was taken in favor of it.
Let me just fine a minute to do it (hopefully not too far)

Stupid suggestion I know but, why not ask one of the founders?

Seeing as how every page has this on it:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 1999.

Nope...
"1999" can be found only at the botton where it says: "Copyright © CodeProject, 1999-2014"

So, after postponing the deadline for about 1.5 years, I finally had to switch my laptop at work.
So far, I had an HP Elitebook 2540p, which is by far the best laptop I have ever had. lighweight, powerful, robust, could handle docking/undocking and hibernating several hundred times before crashing, survived about 6 hours without power even after 3 years of intensive use, could handle all my funny experimentations with networking (switching from home network to work network to wireless to VPN to home ...), could even get by with some fancy external power supply if I forgot mine at home or in a meeting room. To cut a long story short, you now understand why I resisted the necessity of the scheduled maintenance change policy of my company.
Eventually, got a lenovo as a replacement. Starts with a big minus (which is a killer when I look for private laptops) : the fn key on the bottom left, instead of the ctrl key. When you constantly have to swtich between desktop and laptop, this is a PITA. Why on earth would someone put that more than useless key in such a critical place ???? You elephanting keyboard designers ever used a laptop in the past ?
[EDIT] There is a BIOS option to swap the keys. It works, but... a BIOS option ? Isn't that just a sign that this is an unfeature ?
Second one : proprietary rectangular connector for the power supply ? why ? WHY ? Why did you have the need of going from easy-to-plug half-universal round connectors to something rectangular !!! DO you guys ever used a usb port ? And turned the usb connector several times upside down until it finally fits in the hole ? Now imagine that with the power supply ? How many times will it survive it being put upside down ???
A fun fact: The power converter 220V->12V has been reduced in size and weight, but it seems that they run out of place to write all the logos and warnings on it, so they are all just packed in random places (sorry, no time to put a picture to illustrate what I mean)... This looks the same as a lego car for which I'd asked my 4-year-old daughter to put the stickers on it by herself...
So already two negative points, and I haven't switched the thing on... Bloody monday...
*Going for google to see how to switch fn and ctrl key *

Pretty minor gripes I'd have thought. Yes, flip the Fn in the BIOS and you'll never need again. As for the rectangular port - that is clearly done to allow for a more shallow socket and slimmer laptop. It works either way round so I don't see the problem.
The shallowness does have an inconvenience on my yoga pro though, no room for a network socket so always stuck on WIFI.

Rob Philpott.
