who hates F1?!

zrose717

ever hit F1 and wish death upon your computer? well, me too.

no more F1 for me...



instructions:
1. secure a screw driver, ice pick, intern's finger, etc.
2. place it in the crack behind the F1 key
3. move the prying device so that the F1 key pops out
4. dont worry, u can put it back in when It notices, but for now its all good
5. yell a victory war call that can be heard office wide for you are now F1 key free.

ooooohhh...I hate it hate it hate it.....

what worse?
I got a new computer at work...yeah...but the keyboard has a "hibernate" button RIGHT ABOVE THE ESC BUTTON!!! WTF?!?!?

Now, considering I hit the ESC button...ummm...about 17,246 times a day...what do you think happens?

yeah, at least 2 or 3 times a day, I hit that stupid moon button, the screen goes black, and I nearly shit my pants until I realize it's just sleeping. Oh, how nice- a little nap- I'm so sorry you're tired.

ARGH!

A lot of people at my office just take the F1 key right out of the keyboard all together.

one thing to note though is that with 2007 the solution that batiment posted doesn't work (or if it does you have to go through a different route to get there) becuase .mnu files were replaced with this whole custom user interface BS. I still haven't figured out how to apply that solution to 2007.

the thread has been taken over...i thought it was an anti-formula-1 racing thread...i find f1 car designs quite sexy...



to get back to the original subject...for a quick temporary fix, i always wedge one of those small binder clips' "wings" behind the f1 key...

i remember the days when the "cancel" command in autocad was ctrl+c, and you had to type ddlmodes to bring up the layer manager...

yup mdler - the R10.
you'd be surprised how quiet it is considering it has nearly the power of the ferrari above.

there's an f-1 car sitting outside our school. one of the transportation design studios is using it. they're going to try and turn it on its side and get it inside the building. we'll see how that goes!

when I was at school, the industrial design department had a Saturn electric car that they had to get into the building...pretty funny

I think we should get some racing fuel and take the F1 for a drive...

i'm removing F1 at this moment. it's such a joyous moment in my life. i think i'll celebrate with a mid afternoon glass of vodka and sprite, slice of lemon. :-)

*whew* and i thought you were talking about the sport. i totally love love love the sport but yeah now that you mention it i've had many annoying moments with my computer because i kept on pressing the f1 key instead of esc.

mdler, no engine =(

they managed to get it inside the building though! i wanted to get some pics, but our office camera was out of batter charge.

it was pretty cool actually. some of the guys who work in the facilities management department rigged up a sled out of some welded steel sections and castors. they turned the car on its side, on top of the sled, and rolled it inside the building and into the classroom. it was a bit of a spectacle!

hopefully i'll get some pics when they move it out.

and yeah, hitting f1 sucks!
