Drop Down Menus

[David Candy]

Well it starts Dec 1st (I had heard other countries had wierd start dates for seasons). When it is the 6th where you are it is the 7th where I am. It's 3:53 am 8/12/2005 (and I've just arrived home from a neighbour's). Temp has dropped to about 68 outside with a southerly buster arriving about 11pm. Of course it's 86 inside according to thermometer.

Worse of all the bloody government promised afternoon showers and storm in the morning, chance of afternoon storms at lunchtime, and the cancelled the rain alltogether at 5:51pm. What do we pay those people at the Bureau of Meterology for.

It was -11°F (-23.8°C) at 7:30 this morning. It's 3°F (-16°C) right now.
Supposed to be a *high* of 5°F today. High humidity also, 60%. At least it
isn't snowing. Elevation: 4664 feet/1421 meters.

Seems like only yesterday I was complaining about the 100+°F temperatures.
Gone like summer wages.

It's great. Spiders with webs strung everywhere so one get home with
invisible spider webs on them that one can feel but can't see. Flies
where there can be 200 flies hitching a ride on one person, esp in the AM
hours (flies are morning people). Heat and humidity where one's clothes
are drenched in sweat and if one goes into a shop little drops of water
fall at your feet and one's eyes sting.

Winter is beautiful in Sydney. Clear sunny days, cool but can wear just
T-shirts if one is in the sun.

I saw snow when I was 8 (and when mum was pregnant with me as well but I
don't remember that time). I've seen snow fall at 14 (it snowed for 1/2
an hour) as I went to school in the mountains.

Yea, Murdoch had to get naturalized in order to own a TV network.

Like a flag of convenience for ships, Delaware is well known as a
corporate haven. It isn't that Delaware has no laws, it's Delaware’s
General Corporation Laws that make it the friendliest state in America
for corporations.


Why, is that you on the sidewalk? ;-)

That looks a lot nicer than here.
Overcast 9°F (-13°C) Wind Speed: NE 17 MPH and SNOWING!

The white ground that we have here is not sand beaches.

Apparently Microsoft isn't aware of that fact.

There are several types of menus, including drop-down menus,
shortcut menus, and cascading menus. The following sections cover
these menus in more detail.

In David Candy <.> hunted and pecked:
Windows doesn't have drop down menus. It's menus are combined Pull
Down and Pop Up.

Pull Down
Depress left mouse button on menu bar item, move mouse pointer to
item on menu you want, release button.

Pop Up
Click menu bar item, click menu item.

Drop Down
Move mouse cursor over menu bar item, click menu item. You can
sort of see what this is like by pressing Alt + F then moving the
cursor over the menu bar. I think GEM used drop down.

When I'm working in any application, then click on the drop down
menu, the menu is not shown until I run the mouse down it. It
used to be blue (I think). How do I change it back?

Well it starts Dec 1st (I had heard other countries had wierd start
dates for seasons).

The Winter Solstice (as it's called north of the equator--it's the Summer
Solstice where you are) is an astronomical phenomenon (shortest day of the
year in the north, longest day in the south) and occurs on December 21 or
22, regardless of what country you're in. That's the date I had thought was
universally considered everywhere to be the first day of Winter (or Summer
south of the eqautor).

If it's different in Australia, and December 1 is considered to be the first
day, it's news to me. Thanks for the information.

When it is the 6th where you are it is the 7th

It's one thing Australians find wierd about the USA and Europe. Why don't you live on the coast. Almost noone lives inland in Australia. The largest inland city in NSW is Wagga Wagga, pop 60,000. Compared to the three main coastal cities, Sydney 4 to 5 mil, Wollongong (250,000 but it's more from surrounding local govt), and Newcastle (not sure but bigger than the Gong).

 

[David Candy]

I regard Solstice as the pain date. From then to March/April the temp never drops to cool. I leave home at 4:40am most mornings. I sweat all night, and my eyes start stinging as soon as I leave as it is always hot (at least next to the sea - it does get cool briefly [4:00am to 4:05am it may be only 19] in the suburbs most days).

I always thought that seasons started on the 15th elsewhere. I've done web searches in the past to try to find out but too many irrelevent hits.

 

[Wesley Vogel]

Population in town here is about 86,000. The whole county is only about
219,257. Still way too many people, I may have to move to Wyoming.

We only have three coasts and everyone won't fit. California is so full
that folks have been leaving like rats off a sinking ship.

It may snow here and be colder than hell, but we have few problems with
hurricanes.

We've been in drought for years mostly. But this year we are expecting rain. If it rains in Sydney there is a drought in California. If there is a drought in Sydney there is rain in California. So they may be leaving a bit quicker.

I can't get my head around how something like Vermont (pop about 3 + Dean) can be considered a state. My local govt (and Sydney has lots of local governments) is more populous than Vermont (almost anyway).

 

[Wesley Vogel]

Howard Dean doesn't count.

Vermont is more populous than Wyoming (506,529). Vermont has almost twice
the land area of the *county* I live in. Heck Weld County is larger than
Delaware and Rhode Island, put together.

I''''m in my 70th year and have a lot to do. I be six feet tall about 190
lbs.
Like take hikes, dinners, beach, bit of travel and fun stuff in general

When I'm working in any application, then click on the drop down menu, the
menu is not shown until I run the mouse down it. It used to be blue (I
think). How do I change it back?

Well I would bet if we took a 'safe' Harley Davidson bike ride along highway
one you would not see blue except in the sky. Could even pack a lunch or
take a walk about!
