You've probably managed to hit Scroll Lock. Turning it on causes what I think you mean, and yes, for years this "feature" caused much swearing for me... well, even more swearing than Notes causes every day...

I use it myself, but my god the macro/command abilities are annoying. But then, I didn't own an Amiga, so it just seems shit.

Thanks, that list was the sort of thing I like to know about a phone beforehand but normally don't have, and between you and Missing Matter you've demolished pretty much all the things I would niggle at. Contact is up in three weeks, going to get a Lumia 900 next. I don't want a billion apps, I want to be able to call people, text them, take pictures of them and post about it on Facebook.... and all that to be simple.

Thanks for the links, must've missed that the first time around. And /. is a great place to hear about things, but yes, not so much for learning about those things themselves. Still, I reckon this place is a bit less zealous than it used to be... but not by much :)

Not exactly, but there is an emulator application in the Windows Phone SDK you can download.

No, just correct and annoyed.

You might like Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland as well. It is amazing how many different ways in which your brain can get it wrong, and essential IMO to any hope of bettering yourself.

Ketamine is also a wonderful tool for exploring and reprogramming your thoughts, in a very different way from acid but as powerful, if not more in some situations. More existential than acid, which I found better for introspective and intuitive insights.

Have a read of The Happiness Hypothesis. It's a good summary of recent advances in thinking on happiness, and well worth a read to see if there are avenues of thought you've not tried yet. Not claiming it's some miracle cure, but very though-provoking and well-written. For me, many years of anxiety and depression were massively helped by a 16-session course of CBT which I got into via a study into managing adult ADD. Good luck with your problems, they really, really do suck, and mental health is IMO the next big stigma society will face.

Thank you :)

*sigh* The action for the flag is bound to the flag using jQuery, rather than hard-coded in the DOM element.

No problem, Si Begg might also be something you like, although his stuff is rather erratic in quality. If you like your metal, have you ever heard of Bong-Ra? :)

Will check it out, cheers :)

I agree with your view on food company execs in the future, wouldn't surprise me a bit. But I think they'll have company when it comes. And health care in the US is not only insanely expensive as a proportion of GDP, it's the number one cause of bankruptcies and a huge disincentive to entrepreneurs starting new businesses.
