I've had that happen to me, in different flavors. The most amusing one is googling for a solution to something and getting a link to a Code Project article.
That I wrote.

Was your article helpful or even provided the solution?
Or was it just another page beating around the bush

Wade Frankum shot up a load of people in Strathfield Plaza with an AK-47 and I got married.
He's dead, but if he wasn't he'd probably be free now, I'm not.

My commiserations - not, despite your moaning and bitching you are still married, suck it up sweetheart!
Like me you are either too lazy or too comfortable or just plain happy to be married to do anything about it. I'm coming up on 40 years married and am as happy as a pig in mud. Can you imagine going through the hassle of finding another woman who would put up with you.

Who would. Not starting with all that sh*t again after all these years.

I recently had 3 months where we were in different countries, makes you appreciate the work the wife puts in to running even a small household.

Do you ever tell her that? Does she know?
Anyhow, I am happily married as well.

Isn't he with Hugh Janus?
I suspect you might end up restricted to the soapbox with that username...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I could be, Heywood Jabloame, or they could set it so I can make changes to settings without it telling me I can't as the name is already taken.
Maunder changed the popup thingy for me but removed my bold and italic settings and I can't get them back.

No but I've seen his brother Eric.

Or his other brother - Warwick.

It's a big family, as their younger brother Yorick was telling me the other day.

And all are in third grade, as it looks. But ok, you forgot uncle Richard, also known as 'Tricky' Dick.

Your training period is almost, but not quite, over.
Another 24 years should do it.
Congrats.

After 50 years, you reach the age of discretion. The years before that are know as the years of indiscretion!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

My old note 4 finally gave up the ghost and turned tits up on me recently, as they discontinued the note line of products due to an over enthusiastic battery I got me an S8+.
They say it has the same screen space due to the screen going all the way to the bevel BUT if you have great fat fingers like mine you end up randomly starting an app whenever you pick it up. And some apps look really weird when the screen disappears off into infinity at the edge.
There is one issue I find annoying - the music app randomly starts playing, walking along the street and Spotify start up while the phone is in my pocket. Spotify got chucked and moved to Play Music but did not put an icon on the front screen - can't blame accidental launching.
A couple of days later I'm in a meeting and the bloody music starts playing, play Music got removed from the phone with prejudice.
After ratting around the interwebs I have come to the conclusion that it may be driven by the bluetooth on the phone - but I don't have bluetootht turned on, weird.
I'm convinced that the phone activates the default music app when tickled by a bluetooth connection, even if bluetooth is not enabled.
Still it is a nice shiny new phone so I'll keep it and hope Samsung fix the issue. It does make a nice ereader.

Sorry wrong Mycroft - read a classic SciFi the Moon is a Harsh Mistress by RAH, that is where the reference is actually from. Oh and yeah he pinched it from the original.
