Off Topic Thread too point uh

I have a high dpi touch screen and I'm running Win 10 tech preview and Chrome is a disaster on it.

It keeps getting "sticky" touches, like I'll touch the screen but Chrome won't realise I've lifted my finger off, so it thinks I'm constantly touching the screen in 1 place. Which of course means if I touch it anywhere else to scroll it thinks I have two fingers touching it and it zooms.

It also makes the cursor disappear all the time and have to kill the process to close it.

In fairness to chrome, is this a build specifically for Windows 10 on touch screens or is it MS and their "new" notion that write once, run everywhere is totes doable?

It's not a specific Win10 build of Chrome. I suspect the sticky touches is probably a driver issue, but then again it only ever happens on Chrome. Not IE and not Firefox.

Don't forget to tune into RTE 2 at 10pm for the first part of six of Conor McGregor's documentary... I may or may not have an invested interest in it :pac:

The one off documentary they did before was very good so I'll tune in tonight to see what this one is like.

I like him. He's a breath of fresh air. I think he knows that he's acting the maggot but that's what will put arses on seats at the end of the day!!

Or hit it with a hammer...

I'm guessing that most of you hip city boys aren't watching "A Rare Breed" a farming year on utv now.

Silence in this house, as little eyes are wide open as to how the meat gets to the butchers or the potatoes get from the ground to the shop!!

I need subtitles.

I'm from Armagh and I don't even understand those two Armagh yokes talking about ploughing.

They make me laugh because I worked with lots of lads from around there and the accent is comical. You have to listen to every word and even at that some of their words are made up.

Mind you coming from Tyrone we have our own lingo...

Cowp = Fall Over

Err the road = Move out of the way

Due mind thon = Do you remember that

And so on...

So we've been going through the legal process involved in buying a house - contracts almost signed. Perfect house, outskirts of town, convenient for work, local schools etc. Quiet road, lovely view, great price. Best place we looked at by a long shot. Today we find out that the consultation process for a new outer bypass starts this week and they've published a draft plan with 5 alternate routes. The 2 most likely go within 25m of the house, so it would either be a CPO or have a dual carriageway out your back garden.... FML

That is why my uncle who is a solicitor justifies his fees!! Sh*tty break tbh - would there be a huge amount of traffic on the carriageway?

No idea yet. The documentation online for the consultation is pathetic, so gonna go to a public information session this week and hopefully get some proper info. Pain in me hole!

Must recognise you from the video preview you did for the season!

Yeah I'd say it would be pretty busy alright. Hoping the other option is the one the engineers really want...

Fingers crossed. Mind you I lived in the country for 20 years where we might have had 15 - 20 vehicles a day on our road. I left for Sydney and moved into an apartment on the main junction where Bondi Junction ends and the road to Bondi Beach begins...a seriously busy junction. After a week or 2 you really don't notice the noise - or maybe because I was drunk for most of that year!!

dregin

Yeah, was gonna say that. Grew up in the sticks and now live with 4 lanes of traffic at the end of the garden. Took very little time to get used to.

This is how things get done in Ireland. Few pms on boards, and RuggieBear will run that road right through some national historic monument instead.

Ha! Don't work in Ireland anymore...but tbh people are about the lowest priority (most of the time) versus environmentally and culturally designated constraints.

As it should be really (Zzippy aside) in the long run those other concerns mostly have people in mind too.

Go out and find a snail zzippy...plant said snail in the back garden. Take picture of snail and then mail it to the planners/road department. Kick up a fuss about the snail's natural habitat and how it will have a detrimental effect on the snail's environment.

Bingo - a quick €80 million on an environmental/feasibility study and the road project will be cancelled. As the traffic nightmare becomes unbearable you can sit in your back garden (beer in hand) safe in the knowledge that road noise will never be a problem for you again!!
