Traffic Question 15:

During a period of heavy traffic, you want to mail a letter and then head in the direction of the pink arrow. How do you do it?

  1. Stop at Mailbox A, then do a U turn
  2. Stop at Mailbox A, then do a U turn
  3. Park in a spot near Mailbox A, then turn left out of the parking lot
  4. Use Mailbox A, then use the left turn lane at the intersection to do a legal U turn
  5. Turn right at the main street, turn left into the parking lot for Mailbox B, then go through the intersection in the desired direction

Moliner's Answer:

A. Use Mailbox A, then do a U turn

This may be the only option that is illegal, but it’s also the most convenient. No worries.

If you have super important business, or you just feel super important, you could do this while on the phone. It’s OK--other cars will stop for you.

Conventional Answer

Options B, C, or D would be fine.

I usually use Mailbox B, but it’s on the way to where I’m usually going. That being said, I have done option B a number of times.

Detecting MouseEnter and MouseLeave in a control that has lots of children controls (.Net)

Seems like I have been through this before. What I want to do is hide and show something, depending on whether the mouse is inside of a certain area. For instance, I have a container of some sort with lots of controls on it. When the mouse is anywhere inside of the container, I want a link to be visible. I can't simply use the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events on the container, because MouseLeave is triggered when the mouse enters a child control and the MouseEventArgs don't say anything about what control is being entered.

Say Goodbye to Windows 8's Start Screen

 

All of the people I've talked to who don't like Windows 8, don't like it because of the new start screen. You know, the tiled "apps" screen. A.K.A. "Metro" screen.

Maybe that sort of thing makes sense on a touchscreen device. Not on a desktop computer or standard laptop.

This free software brings back your start menu, like in Windows 7: ClassicShell. If you set it to start in desktop mode, you can say goodbye to the start screen! Here's how.
