Traffic Question 10:

How do you discipline your kids when you’re driving?

A. Yell at them

B. Turn all the way around to see what they're doing

C. Threaten to stop the car

D. All of the above

E. None of the above

Moliner's Answer:

D. All of the above

If screaming at your kids doesn’t work, it’s perfectly fine to turn all the way around to see what they’re doing. You don’t even need to keep your hands on the wheel.

Just keep some part of your body on it (a knee or whatever). Don’t worry about the curve coming up at near highway speeds.

Conventional Answer

D. All of the above

Kids will need to be disciplined at some point. Even when you’re driving. You have to do it safely, though.

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

Submitted by drew on

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.
