I think JDeveloper is coming out with their own version of Portal maybe?

I think it's broadband recommended vs non-broadband recommended looking at the font, but an odd way to word it.

The angel food tip makes me want to get JDeveloper. I wonder if they have lasagna tips as well?

<humor style="facetious">

Obviously Claus Nielsen's brand new Windows Vista laptop comes with a high-efficiency mobile processor. In the absence of a primary battery, the computer runs on the button battery that preserves the CMOS BIOS data and system clock.

Offbeat tips of the day have been kicking around commercial products since at least the early versions of MS Word. I distinctly recall Word, on startup, advising me to never run with scissors.

Didn't know that about the angel's-food cake, though.

DAMNIT! I don't have a computer when I view web sites... I always use by BRAIN-O-BOX! Why can't I check out the dodge on my BRAIN-O-BOX?! WHYYYYYYYY???? www.worsethanfailure.com supports BRAIN-O-BOXes...

Hey I wonder if in Zion they ever hit that warning message? I bet it would have been 1000x easier for them and avoided the whole third movie if anyone ever found out about this glitch!

Cakewalk Pro Audio (now Sonar) used to have a tip that read something like this:

Did you know...

You can move about the room.

1. Push yourself away from your workstation, then stand up.
2. Turn around.
3. Place your left foot forward, then your right.

Apparently Claus Nielsen has already spent 8% of the energy available in the AC grid. He's going to receive a *huge* electric bill.

It's a good thing Claus put it on power saver mode, seeing as he has no batteries.

Think I'll go have some frozen angel food cake with my weighted companion cube.

It's an automobile, made by Dodge, which is one of the "brands" of Chrysler:

"Claus Nielsen was surprised to find that, with no batteries present, he was running with 92% of a charge."

Must be one of those "solar powered" laptops...Just don't leave it under the sun for too long, or it will explode.

"Computer Recommended" makes perfect sense. Must be too much content to display on cell phones, etc.

Didn't Claus Nielsen notice the beer can sized capacitor on his device? That's what has the 92% charge. Maybe he tried to drink it? Poor Claus.

I wonder if the JDeveloper tips are version specific, the one I get is:

Microwave Safety

I remember the scissors thing too! It freaked me out.

Re: Obvious Requirements

2007-10-19 15:09 • by poochner
The scissors hint was the first one in the rotation. It enticed users to read the others.

If you don't dry the cake out by over-baking it, it won't crumble, either. If you do, it's not worth eating; just toss it out.
