...of technology...
About four years before all bus companies around here started to use pre-payed ICC cards.
So what happens when the machine used to read the cards 'thinks' it is in an other country and try to sell you tickets to Haiti?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

That would be a long bus ride.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well... You might not get to work on time, but you could get a decent holiday out of the deal. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yeah - the machine told you to go there!

That would be really wonderful - but in fact you have to wait while the driver(!) sort out the problem. In fact it ends with a lot of f* words and the replacement of - the otherwise fit - bus with an other that have a working ticket machine! It takes at least half an hour!!!

I don't file a formal complaint.

Can anyone fathom why, when you're reading a Word document that hasn't been opened for editing, you're not allowed to select and copy text until you enable editing?
How does "selecting text" equate to "I want to edit"? In fact I specifically do not want to edit - I want to select text from a safe, non-editable copy.
ARGH.

Because copy/paste are in the same path of the code, and paste requires edit.

Since it has been reported that Bill Gates is once again taking an active hand in Microsoft Office products, perhaps if he attempts the same, it will be addressed forthwith.

Strange - selecting and copying text works for me in "protected view".

It's called the Gates effect; the way things should be done is inversely proportional to common sense!

I've noticed that in a few mobile apps. Maybe it's a permission-clawing thing.

For the same reason a SERP exists?
(Because it's there ... oh, wait a minute, no it's not ...)

I came across that exact issue at exactly 16:45 yesterday afternoon.
I know that's what time it was, because that was the proverbial straw - so I took an early mark!
I think you also can't print!

I have the problem where if I want to search the document, I cannot click Ctrl+F until I actually click inside the document. This only happens in non-edit mode for me. Microsoft needs to focus on being user-friendly.

I can code all day long (literally) on black background without getting blurry vision. If I staring at something with white background for 10 minutes, my vision start getting blurry and it gets worst the longer I stare at it. Worst on smaller screen.
Any one experienced similar? Or vise versus?

Screen is too bright, eye fatigue?
Does this happen on paper (in normal lighting), or just computer screens?

Agreed. I had to replace a dead monitor a week ago, and was reminded how they typically ship with a brightness setting that's just way too high, and most people don't adjust it. It's like staring at the sun.
I have all my monitors set with the brightness all the way down to 0 (well, ok, 5 for one of my oldest ones), and contrast at maybe 75% (this varies between displays).

Yup, on paper too. Anything with bright background.

Nope. I like a white background - I find the dark background... odd.

Now if you put it that way I will have to go gorge my eye out, since other parts of my body doing just fine. The eyes clearly the sinner!!!
