"Soar-y" for sorry has always been my favorite. I've always associated that pronunciation with obnoxious child-actors since so many of the shows I grew up on were peopled almost entirely with Canadian actors/voice actors.
Re:Why does Outlook map Ctrl+F to Forward instead of Find? on Tuesday July 15, 2014 @11:13AM (#8036867)
Microsoft doesn't follow the 'standard' for shortcut mapping or behavior most of the time. Why would any of this give pause to anyone who's used their products for any amount of time?
Re:How 'One Weird Trick' Conquered The Internet on Thursday August 01, 2013 @03:10AM (#6139062)
I grew up in Utah. Living there taught me at least one thing that helps me deal with certain types of more fanatical or difficult people I meet and deal with on a near daily basis:

    Everyone wants to be part of a secret society or have some esoteric knowledge that
    makes them feel set-apart from the norm.
Unfortunately, this is incredibly easy to exploit and I've watched nearly every member of my family get taken in by someone or something promising them unrealistic benefits from some 'secret' or another.

So SP1, but "SP" = "." because we "why not".

This is how/why my family and I watch it. It's fun(ish) if you go in with that mindset. Even so, it can be a complete cringe-fest at times.

Re:Getting started with Python: Tips, Tools and Resources on Tuesday March 26, 2013 @12:05PM (#5444179)
As someone who's relatively comfortable with VS ('08-'12) and who has licenses, I'm curious to know what the limitations (if any) are to using VS for development with Python.

Do you (or does anyone) know of any quick-start guides or tutorials to working with Python (or any other non-.NET languages) in Visual Studio?
